Getting Organized Part 2

By | Household Tips | 12 Comments

Heart2Heart has not featured something like this in a long time.  And to think, part 1 was a very popular feature.  (  Getting Organized May 16, 2007  ) 

We always go to our sister Tina’s house but this time, we got a closer look inside her closets and cabinets!  Heart2Heart ( and I am sure many others ) are inspired by people who are so organized!  We learn a lot from them.  So thank you to Ana and Tina for sharing your household tips!

Pantry – everything lined up and all in its proper place

This is her son’s closet which she told me was organized by the nanny.  Hmmm… deep inside me I am thinking… the nanny just tries to copy her boss…so I guess she is just like her boss 🙂  She even labels the shelves and segragates the shirts – sports shirts, long sleeves, etc etc

Gastronomic Boredom

By | Foodie | One Comment

I was given a choice to eat wherever I want, so I chose one of my favorites, Pepato ( Nov. 25, 2008 ).  

When I go back to a restaurant I have been to already, I promised myself that I will not order the same thing again and again.  I will make sure that I have a new experience and try other things on the menu.  Mireille Guiliano ( French Women Don’t Get Fat January 21, 2009  ) said that “Gastronomic boredom leads to lots of unhealthy eating.  If you don’t make improvisation and experimentation a part of your eating life, you are sure to find yourself in an eating rut.  It’s as bad as a romantic rut – losing that spark-and just as likely to get you in trouble!”   

So, I did not order my favorite foie gras dish ( August 16, 2007)!  But I discovered other wonderful dishes! 

Just their first complimentary dish excites me already….They normally give you a bite from their appetizers menu- I do not know what this is called but it reminded me of a mini Mille Feuille but salty not sweet.  I loved it!

I really like the tasting portions in Pepato – Raviolini, chicken liver pate sage butter.  It follows very much the concept of Mireille G.

Warehouse Revival

 

 

Formerly an abandoned storage warehouse, Whitespace has been converted into a divisible multi-purpose hall to cater to the increasing demand for event space within Metro Manila.The original structural elements have been retained to preserve the look and feel of its industrial roots which are evident in the exposed trusses and massive steel doors. The interiors, however, have been renovated for aesthetic purposes to address the needs of our clients.
