Barbecue at Jiichan's

What better way to spend summer than have barbecue at the yard. We had beef, corn, chicken, shrimps, pork, mushroom and paprika (perhaps some more I overlooked). 

Papa was the willing "griller" - he boiled some of the meat before putting them on fire. Our little ones were patiently waiting for what they can munch. I sat with them as I have no idea when should the meat be turned. I do cook at home but that's a lot different.

And finally, Ittadakimasu! Looks like we would be well on our way to earning a culinary arts degree  from the prestigious Culinary Schools in Ohio, with a great meal creation as this. What do you say?

Colorful Donuts for Breakfast

How many times have I mentioned my want to learn baking? I can't remember anymore! I love to eat and so do my kids. We love everything, be it Japanese, American, Filipino or Italian. At home, mom-in-law does the cooking most of the time. I get my chance too but only the basics, nothing grand.

If there's one kind of food I'd like to learn how to make - donuts! I totally miss our local donuts at home but Japanese donuts have a lot more to choose from and are more say, creative and diverse in flavors! Green tea, orange, strawberry and chocolate of course, I won't say no...and yes, that's just breakfast. :)

Gone Italian

They say that the best way to travel to a country or to know more about different places is through food. True enough, I've never been to Italy but my husband and I love pasta a lot that we've been to Italy, palate and stomach-wise a lot of times.

Not only pasta, hubby loves anything smothered with cheese (I unfortunately don't have photos at the moment). These were taken from our latest Italian rendezvous with the kids. We had the usual carbonara (not in photo), pomodoro, a fish dish and pizza.

I can't tell if that's mint on vanilla ice cream, it was dad-in-law's so I didn't come up to him to ask but I just took a photo. lol.
