Arts. Eats.

Now that I am a full-time domestic goddess (cook, laundrywoman, housemaid, school bus and everything in between), I started dabbling on cooking. Now, I have put into good use the recipe books that I have hoarded for many years. Also, I am grateful that I have my father to consult and ask for advices whenever I am clueless on something or when Google does not give me the answer that I need. It is from him and my two grandmothers (may their souls rest in peace) that I got my late-blooming love for the kitchen. I have been a foodie but I rarely cooked.

Just this morning, I tried a noodle recipe which I hope to last until tomorrow. During the weekdays, there’s just me and my daughter so there are some food that lasts us for days. Most often, I just keep them in the refrigerator and heat up a portion whenever we eat. And I do cook something in between because eating the same food for several days is never fun. During the weekends, I try to prepare something special since the most special man in my life (ahem) is home. This weekend, there’ll be fruit salad and kare-kare which I think to be very intimidating. But with the help of a prepared and store-bought mix, I know I will survive.

Wish me luck!

Since I seem to be stuck in a scrapbooking rut, I have decided to dabble into another craft and that is molding with polymer clay. I joined a workshop late last year and have been trying to practice for sporadically for some months now. Most of my creations are food-themed since that’s what was taught to us during the workshop. I tried making a chibi too but I was not that successful. Some friends also requested that I make baby-themed stuff like a pacifier and baby jogger city select 2012 stroller. That will happen soon.

I have accumulated a number of tools, cutters and molders and tried to experiment on some materials too. Obviously, I do major hoarding and not much creating. *sigh* But let me show you some of my few finished creation using oven-baked and air-dry polymer clays. 

Now that we are done with two New Year celebrations in a row, who is ready for Valentine’s Day? Raise your hands!
