Are you tired of waking up to a sun-drenched bedroom?

The first seller I had placed my order requested me to cancel my order since it was no longer available. I needed four pieces of 50 x 100 cm. It was frustrating at first since I had to keep clicking which seller had the righ...

One day my mom and I went to the grocery store in California where I grew up, she had shopped at Magat an Asian Grocery Store in Union City and my mom decided to buy the ingredients of the dinuguan.

Fresh Lychees in Season

Lychee is in season in the Philippines it can be eaten by itself or make into a juice or dessert from this fruit and the most common it is made as well into a smoothie or milk tea either way how you want to eat it is my favorite fruit. It comes with a branch when you buy it tied up together and when you open it the inside looks like this shown in the picture. Lychee is a sweet fruit and it is juicy as you open it with your hands but it doesn't last long because later the skin becomes hard, rough and start to turn slightly brown as you can see in this picture compare to the first one when it is red. My tip is you can open each one and place it in the fridge by removing its seeds you can also place in the freezer for long life when you plan to make a smoothie out of it in a Tupperware or Ziploc. Lychee is in season from the month of June and July.
