But yes, letting the milk and honey and maybe fruit drippings soak the oats, making them soft and creamy in the morning, just ready to eat. Ingredients: 1/2...

If you haven’t had any kind of sisig yet, it’s a Filipino dish made of crispy fried pig’s head and chicken liver. However, because we all loved this dish so much, so many varieties of sisig already came out. My favorite is the classic pork and sisig but this time, I tried this squid sisig for a change.

What can be a better way to jumpstart my passion for treats and desserts this year than a cold, chocolatey dessert? None, so I went ahead and made a couple of chocolate milk Panna cottas as our dessert for the day. Lucky for me because I happen to have a huge bar of VanHouten milk chocolate given to me as a gift from a friend from his recent trip to Japan. Knowing how this friend of mine is so much into business, I asked him if he is planning to sell VanHouten soon, and he said yes. So if ever you want to buy stocks of chocolate milk...
