The King of All Crabs

Tonight we embraced the glutonous side of ours. We went to a local casino here (no, no, we don’t gamble at all unless of course if you call lotto as gambling…well JLC said it’s supporting charity too! ) to have dinner in their buffet. Every Friday, they have a seafood extravaganza and the star of all stars is their Alaskan King Crab. So we went there just for it! Although I am not really a big fan of buffets, eating there is way much cheaper than cooking your own crabs. Imagine if you buy crabs from the grocery, it would cost you $8.00/lb compared to the $15 eat-all-you-can crabs in the casino. What a deal, right?
So anyway this is how I eat my crab with the help of the following “equipment” -
Lemon and Butter:
Tabasco:
And of course you can’t eat crabs without the best invention that man ever made – the Cracker!
Now, ladies and gents , I present to you the King of Crabs -
First Plate:
Second Plate:
Third Plate 
But first of all, the most important thing to successfully win the battle of the crabs is to wear something like this. Oh yes ,even if it means freezing your buns off … literally! 
A girl gotta do what she gotta do, right? LOL
Seeyah peeps and happy weekend! I need to hit the sacks now. Oink. Oink.
Apple Cinnamon Muffin

This is my first ever to bake muffins and it is my first time to ever touch the oven to bake for that matter. LOL. Understandably, I bake the simplest recipe there is – Apple Cinnamon Muffin. And since this is my first time, I have to document it and I have to brag it to you, people! (Pagbigyan niyo na ako, plez!)
The Ingredients.
- 1 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 cup finely chopped apple
- 2/3 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/3 cup of melted butter
- 1 egg
Procedure
(1) Mix the flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
(2) Mix the rest of the ingredients
Apple
Egg
Milk
Butter
Mix them well.
(3) Put them on the pan
And you’re ready to go!
And oh! Don’t foget the sugar.
To be honest, I forgot to put the sugar so I had to take each of them out of the liner, put them in the bowl, put sugar and mix. Darn it!
Anyway, while doing the preparation I pre-heat the oven for 375 degrees F.
When done, put the muffin pan and wait ’till the muffins are golden brown. It would be about 20-30 minutes.
And here it is! My yummy muffin!
These beautiful and yummy muffins (ahem) are our baon for the rest of the week.
Apple pie, coming up?!
Dining in the Sky

As you may all know, I went to Seattle last month. Oh yes, this is a long overdue post. Blame it to … I don’t know.. 
Anyhow, one of the highlights of our trip was our dining experience with Sky City Restaurant. The restaurant is a bit pricey but when it comes to good food if I have to shell out my last penny, I would definitely do it.
Sky City is located atop of the Space Needle.
You can now imagine that the restaurant is circular in shape. The observation deck is just above it. If you are eating at Sky City your trip to the observation deck is free, otherwise you have to pay $13 for the elevator trip. So our food bill was less twenty-six bucks . Yay!

Suddenly, I had the urge to eat banana split. I gave in to my craving. I stopped my work at went to the nearby SONIC.
At ito na siya!!!
Oh yes, I love my work when there’s nothing much to do but eat! Bwahaha! Tabi-tabi po sa mga nagugutom.
Iron Chef Wannabe

I love to cook but I don’t know if it loves me back. Hahaha. My sister and lately, my mom were the the official queens of the kitchen and now that they are in Las Vegas, the queen-wannabe (read: moi) has to step up. No more humba (cebuano’s adobo version) from Mom and no more pancit from Ate. Hello to fried egg, boiled egg, baked egg, grilled egg, raw egg, barbecued egg, microwaved egg and egg shake. So, I have to do something right? Or else, baka maghahanap ng Sarah Geronimo Ruffa G ang JLC ko!
One of my officemates had given me these oblong upo-like vegetables from his farm. Sosyal at may farm ang mokong. I asked him what they were. He told me it’s called Mexican Squash? A what? Hindi naman siya mukhang squash. Ampalaya, puede pa! So, out of modesty, I took them home.
While I was driving home, I was thinking really hard what to do with those so called squash. Alangan naman itapon ko, di ba? Sabi nga ng mga tao dito, “Wag kayong magtapon ng pagkain, madaming tao sa Africa ang hindi kumakain”. Sagot ko naman,” Eh bakit ba, kung hindi namin yan itapon, may makakain na sila? Teka lang, mabalik tayo… naisip ko:” Alas, I have bacon and chicken at home!” Di ba may pa “alas-alas” pa akong nalalaman.
So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I present to you “Mexican Squash Chicken with Bacon”. Or, is it Chicken with Mexican Squash and Bacon?Basta I just made up this dish. Hindi naman sguro ito nakakapoison. Bahala na! Kayo na ang humusga. Hahaha
