Filipino Delicacy: Suman

Tokz @ilocosboy (45156) • Philippines 25 May 16

One of the favorites in Filipino delicacy is 'suman'-- the glutinous rice cooked and wrapped with young coconut leaves and then cooked again. Some occasion, the cooking will be done with the coconut milk. The uniqueness is on the...

cessy_08 This post made me crave for some of these! I'd love it especially when eaten with some muscovado sugar on the side - yum!

DIY Fans?

Yogafreak @Curlybobby (370) 24 May 16

Diys are probably my favourite way to keep myself engaged and productive. They are fun, eco friendly, light on the pocket and more importantly , I love the way they render great character to our homes and other personal spaces. I...

cessy_08 Oh, I love to do things DIY but I don't have the time to do everything DIY, unfortunately. I started off by trying to avoid ready-made sauces (ie curry, pasta etc) and do things from scratch since most of them are really simple, especially if you have a food...

We Were Finally Able to Sleep with the Window Open Last Night

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7029) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 25 May 16

For a while there, I thought we were going to have to keep all the windows shut for a few more weeks. But, it finally warmed up this week and, last night, we slept with our bedroom window open. There was some risk with doing that,...

cessy_08 Same here! Well, it's been kind of warm the past weeks already. It is still grey clouds (like today) but I guess if you are living in an apartment where you typically have the windows shut, it warms easily indoors. We usually have to open the fan in the...

Found the right granola

C @ShyBear88 (59347) • Sterling, Virginia 18 May 16

A few weeks back I posted about my daughter having an allergic reaction to the granola that we had in the house. It took me about a week to finally find something my daughter and her baby baby brother could eat. I had found...

cessy_08 Glad to know you found the right granola bar for your kids! Have you tried making it yourself, though? Especially if they have allergies to some ingredients, maybe it is better if you make it DIY so you know the ingredients. :)

cessy_08 Thanks for sharing this recipe. I never thought there are differences in terms of the ingredients and when we have to eat it. How come we can't use oil? And can we cook it by baking instead?

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15962) • United States 13 May 16

I still have all four of my high school yearbooks and I look at them from time to time and remember so many pleasant memories. I attended a very small high school in a very small coal-mining town in West Virginia. There were...

cessy_08 Unfortunately, I didn't end up being classmates with anybody famous - hopefully one day! :) I don't have my yearbook with me but it is with my Mom. I live in a different country as her so most of my childhood memories were left behind when I relocated.

Adopted

acey @twentysix76 (674) • Quezon City, Philippines 8 May 16

I found out that I'm adopted when I was 30+ years old, when my mom told me at her sick bed. I remember then that I felt no hatred, or negative feeling when I found out hence, I was so thankful for my parents who have raised me and...

cessy_08 I am not adopted so my opinion is just based on what I feel. I think it is good to let the child know when he/she is old enough to understand. I would say it is better to let the child know about it when they are in their early teens or earlier. Sometimes,...

cessy_08 That must've been a very emotional experience! I frequently write poems and only do so when I feel the words or thought come through my mind in an instant. It is useless to even try when "creativity" is on the low. I bet your Mom will be so proud of you and...

Playing in the rain

Yanzalong @yanzalong (18987) • Indonesia 20 Apr 16

When I was a kid, I really wanted to play in the rain like many other kids but my mom wouldn't let me do it. My mom was very angry if I wanted to go out in the rain. She would say, "Don't do that. You'll get ill!." As a kid, I...

cessy_08 My Mom was strict but not with playing in the rain. Of course, not unless there was a typhoon or something, I think it was typical for Asian kids to go outside when it rained and play! I don't know whether I'd do the same with my son here, though. It is quite...

cessy_08 Thanks for sharing this. I guess with people getting used to "how it used to be", it is always difficult to replace the original. For sure, the way it looks, texture or color will be the same or close to it, but doing it the old-fashioned way will always be...
