Ene's Blitz Torte

My sister, Ene, who lives in Los Angeles, sent me a pic of the cake she's been wanting to bake for their Thanksgiving dinner, the Blitz Torte. Today, she spent the afternoon baking the cake. I could not make the picture any bigger. I believe the pic was taken from a camera phone and was texted to my cell phone, which in turn, I sent to my email, so I could post it online. Anyway, here's the picture of the cake (above).

Happy Thanksgiving in advance my dear sis, in case I get so busy on thanksgiving day and I forget to greet you (like I always do). Regards to Scott (my bro-in-law), Sunshine and Alan Malapitan with their two sons, AJ (a talented musician) and John (the whiz kid), to Millette (how's the doctor?), and to Den-Den (sassy lady) and hubby Sal, and her beautiful daughter, Misha.

Happy thanksgiving to brothers Eddie Enriquez (from Manila) and JJ Enriquez (From Sydney), who are currently in L. A. visiting their bother, Scott and his family.

Remembering Mom on Mother's Day

What's a better way of celebrating Mother's Day than remembering your mother and paying a tribute to all her unconditional love, sacrifices, unselfish and caring ways, together with your loved ones (not all of them) on this special day. Now that I have children of my own, I have come to realize that she was not an ordinary mother; she was a supermom. Looking back, I am amazed at how she was able to juggle her time between her work and her devotion to her kids when we were growing up. She became a widow at the age of 41, her second and last marriage (her first husband was a casualty of war). She remained unmarried until the day she died, unconcerned for the attention quite a few gentlemen had given her. Instead, her time was spent religiously on her obligations to raise her three daughters, and managed to send them to one of the best private schools in the country at that time. On her spare time, she volunteered to teach impoverished young women on home economics, f

Greatest Kitchen Gadget Ever Invented..

Gone were the days when christmas and new years' eve dinner food preparation entailed staying up days and nights working on the menu. Making our yearly traditional fresh authentic chinese lumpia needed the whole family's help to julienne the snowpeas and the side pork, chiffonade the cabbage, thinly slice the shallots, grate the carrots, and many other tedious ways of preparing the ingredients before actually cooking them. Nowadays, all that is gone. Thanks to the genius inventor of the food processor . Life for cooks have been easier since. It can chop, knead, slice, dice, and shred in seconds. We can now make pizza dough for a few seconds, make the dough rise in 30 minutes, put our favorite topping and cheeses on it and in 10 to 12 minutes, we have a homemade delicious pizza that each of my children can cook for themselves. Food Processors come in different sizes. The biggest our kitchen has is the 7 cups with 1.5 quarts bowl capacity, which we use for making purees of vegeta

Good Manners and Right Conduct

Can you imagine what this world would be like if people didn't have good manners? If people just do and say what they felt like without any consideration to others? This world will be in great chaos making us look like savages out of the jungle, uncivilized, rude, lacking  discipline and finesse. Good manners start at home. Our parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts, foster parents who took care of us since birth influenced our breeding . Some were taught, some were acquired. Children are great copy cats. They will eventually pick up the good and the bad.
