I am not a peanut butter and jelly kind of girl, but ever since I ran into one of these it has been my constant breakfast companion.

I first fell in love with the Dark Chocolate Dreams, as it was the only flavor available in my local supermarket then. My pantry is not complete […]

The evening started out good, but as it was getting later, it turned out to be the other way around. After dinner, I was working to extract a little dot perceived to be a splinter on my left thumb. I wasn’t successful and even if it’s now sore, as it bled a lot, that stubborn […]

Yeah, I know… I found myself binging on chocolates and sweets yesterday as I’ve written here. So, what did I do for dinner? Since, I drowned on junk, I didn’t even have the energy ( I cleaned the whole place, and I think it’s a good excuse, *lol*) to make a decent home-cooked dinner. […]

As you may know by now, those that have been frequently visiting, I had my first ever try on roasting a whole turkey last Monday. It was such an experience, that even if it involved a lot of work I will be doing it again.

It was a lot of work because, I simply refused to […]

New York, New York… it’s definitely not Frank Sinatra’s famous song. It’s simply, New York, New York– that is: Manhattan, New York. Many know Manhattan as one of the boroughs of New York, but when it’s legally written as in - officially as an address, it really is referred to as New York, New York. […]

I captured this from the balcony of our hotel room(mukha ba siyang sunset?)It was our last dinner in this lovely island. We decided to “pig-out” one more time. So, off we went to a seafood buffet in one of the hotel’s restaurants…We were so “belly-full”, but still we went for these to finish off the […]

Room service for breakfast was the first order of the day, today. We opted for another light breakfast, just enough to rev up our morning.

These was what I saw through the balcony of our room, enough to bring a wide smile on my face.

Can’t help but think about how life has been so good and […]

Our day started today with a light breakfast at the Cafe in Marketplace. We’ve been eating like there’s no tomorrow the past few days, so we thought of going light today.

This is how the homes of Indian settlers in Aruba looked like in the old days.

Wrecked ship - still intact in the middle of the […]

Meaning, “welcome” in Papiamento, Aruba’s creole language whose lexicon is drawn mostly from Spanish and Portuguese(60%) and from Dutch(25%). The remainder comes from West African languages and Arawak(the language the native inhabitants in Aruba spoke several hundred years ago). English, Dutch and Spanish are also spoken and that makes Aruba’s inhabitants multi-lingual. Aruba, by the […]

We were so hungry but didn’t want to get hotel food. We checked in about 2:00 p.m. and as soon as the Bellman dropped off our luggages in our room, we dashed out of the hotel to grab something to eat. The first place we saw was Gina’s Caribbean Restaurant. The food was awesome… […]
