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...

A Life's Work

A Life's Work "None of us are defined by our circumstances, nor are we defined by how other people perceive us. It is up to each one of us to define ourselves, and that is a life's work." "Each of us has the ability to lead a dynamic life by pursuing our unique goals and dreams. There are no limits to what we can do." the whole world is an opportunity; it is our work to make our imprints on the highway of life. an unlimited advantage chosen by a select few, not of power and money, fame, nor fortune. the select few never try to prove themselves, for they know who they are they are confident, not pretentious. they know where they come from and they know where they're going they are at peace with themselves and their surroundings they are whole and complete.

Dinner: Crispy Calamare

Photos Taken by Ann Lodolini Another surprise on a friday night. Friday nights are my free nights not to cook dinner. My children know this. We either eat dinner out, or if they don't get an invitation from me, they cook their own dinner. Tonight my son, and his girlfriend, came home early and started playing in my kitchen. From my office where I was working, I could hear them planning for dinner. Is it the prawns (big shrimps) or the calamare (squid). The calamare won for I could hear the sizzling sound of the little guys with tentacles gettng deep fried in the fryer. When I went out of my office to check on what they were up to, Ann was dredging the slices of squids with flour with her bare hands and Bernard was deep frying the battered squid pieces in the fryer being careful not to over overcook them. Giving my share of the labor (of love), I made the sauce for the calamare dip out of soy sauce, sugar, honey, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, oyster sauce, worcester...
