Recipe: Pork Potapples

by

Some people find cooking therapeutic. I’m one of those people, though I’m not sure why that is so. Like earlier, I cooked and nearly cried when the oil started dancing high in the pan and I couldn’t prevent the pork chop from getting burned because I was too scared to go near it, then I […]

Cate, Tatsie, Gelle, Tyne, Dada and I volunteered to help collect donations for the victims of the typhoon Ketsana or Ondoy in South East Asia through the Mercy Relief organization.
