Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asking Manang V to include some of my vegetables on her list whenever the kitchen runs out. Every time Carmina notices the kitchen is restocked with vegetables, she asks Manang V about it. Manang V always apologizes, saying she keeps forgetting about my vegetables. Eventually, Carmina got tired of waiting and decided to buy them online through Grab Mart. Sometimes, it just seems easier to do things yourself rather than rely on others. Carmina was looking for camote, broccoli, asparagus, and avocado to have at home. I was able to find it at  Zagana Farm to Kitchen  one shop drop on whatever you need. Camote Red 500 grams PHP 36.00 ($0.75) Camote Orange 500 grams PHP 36.00 ($0.75) Broccoli 1 kilo gram PHP 273.00 ($5.69) Asparagus 250 grams PHP 184.00 ($3.83) Avocado 1 kilo grams PHP 225.00 ($4.69) Carmina will share in her upcoming article how she plans to enjoy all these vegetables and fruits with a recipe.

Carmina went on a bread venture, searching for a new place to order her bread. Sometimes we get tired of ordering from the same place, especially when on a diet, and feel the urge to explore other options. It took me quite a while to decide what type of bread I wanted this time. I ended up choosing a variety to have more options for making sandwiches. A half baguette costs PHP 44.00 ($0.92). Considering the size, the price is reasonable. The baguette is softer than others I've tried before, which is a great advantage, especially for keeping bread fresh at home longer. I removed it from the packaging, sliced it in the middle, and opened it on the side to make sandwich preparation easier. Then, I placed it in a clear plastic container with a lid to keep it fresh at home. My favorite bread has always been Ciabatta. For PHP 44.00 ($0.92), it’s big for its price, soft, and absolutely enjoyable. The inside is moist and fluffy, and since it’s quite large, I usually can only eat half at a ...

I was able to do a comparison on Turkey Breast Beretta vs Turkey Ham Amadori from my observation and family members. You look close they have the same size, shape and color only difference the way it is trim on the side is quite different from each other. Growing up the life of parents owning a Subway Sandwiches you kind of know base on what taste better for you on the cold cuts you put on your own sandwiches. Turkey Breast Beretta Turkey Ham Amadori Over all the Turkey Breast Beretta is the winner by it's taste it is turkey meat even if there is a portion of ham in it. Turkey Ham Amadori has less taste on the turkey more on the ham by flavoring in the meat. There is only a little amount on price difference. Eating healthy comes with making your own meals at home by how you would like to add in your sandwich. For your reference you may refer to my article where I had placed my order: https://www.carminalifestyle.com/2021/06/turkey-breast-beretta-from-quezon-city.html https://www.ca...

The best part is to have a stainless-steel steamer in your home. We often use it when we are cooking Somai and frozen siopao purchase in the grocery store. It is easier to use and makes life easier for Manang V to cook in our kitchen. The stainless-steel steamer is three layers by adding water on the lower level.  We also use the stainless-steel steamer when we cook steam fish and vegetables. It is easy to clean and accessible to put away after being washed. I had purchased my stainless-steel steamer in  Shop at Los Ganadores  Lazada Philippines for PHP 458.00 ($9.16) not including shipping and handling. There is a third layer in this picture we are only using one. Giving you an ideal how it looks when being used on the gas stove.

Now that my parents have been separated for many years we've decided upon ordering it at  Ha-Inan  a favorite restaurant of my mom right now. We've been exploring and order their other dishes that they are cooking a great way to see what other specialties they may have that we haven't yet discovered.
