few more walnuts to crack up. they are given by a relative. few more pieces now are left from 2 boxes they gave last December. I'm always having hard time cracking up a walnut. sometimes there is a shell that is so though to open. so most of the time i hit my fingers too from our old style version of nut crackers. we put ground walnuts too to some of our Christmas sweets i posted weeks ago.
our dinner for today. ham and cheese sandwiches. originally i plan ham and egg sandwich. but for some reason there is a shortage of eggs here in our area. we search every store but we cant find a single egg in the groceries today. so we have no choice but to wake up so early tomorrow and fall in line in one of the store before its opening time of 6am. due to bird flu, they have to eliminate so many chickens and ducks few months ago. so there are shortage of eggs now. and in…
finally we able to buy eggs in supermarket today. so for tonight, i cooked floured eggs (kwek-kwek in filipino). we boiled eggs first then coat in flour batter with little of orange food coloring, ground pepper, and salt, and then dip fry in oil. either you can use chicken eggs, quail eggs (which i like most because it more tastier but more expensive), and fertilized duck eggs, but never tried it yet. you can use chili sauce but normally i use spicy vinegar for dips. it is a…

just bought vitamin c for added protection. i have multivitamins but just for added booster. now a days a simple cough and colds, can ended up in "covid" and need to isolate for 10 days depends on the situation. so its better to spend a little more than be sorry for this covid scare.
if this cockroach will roam and fly around your houses, will you let it or still kill it? I so hate cockroaches, even my cat hates it. but if something like these probably i will let it be hahaha PHOTO NOT MINE*****************

time to time i bought some small gifts for my nephews. whenever i see something cutie at a good price i buy it right away. I dont have own kids yet, thats why i find joy when i buy something for them for their daily use. no need to be very expensive as long as they are happy and comfortable with it.

Lucky she didnt include the hair conditioner, coz if ever i'll ended up with 30$. Hope its worth paying for it. Hehhehe
looking back on some of my old photos in facebook. I came up with this photo which we visited in 2018 in Prague. Its a snack bar in Prague near The Old-New Synagogue in Prague. Many tourist thought that this sweet snack is an old tradition sweet of czech. but unfortunately its not czech origin but of romanian tradition (according to research). according to many czechs, sellers just spread rumors that trdelnik is a czech trational pastry to milk money from tourist. Trdelnik…
