The King of All Crabs
Post created on March 19, 2010 by Reesie under Chika Galore, Food · 10 Comments »
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.
Rants on Pinoy TV

I watched Ai-Ai & Erap’s movie last weekend, I almost puked sa kabaduyan! To top it off the resolution of the DVD (original), which my sister bought in Seafood City (Filipino grocery store in Vegas), wasn’t good at all. ABS-CBN ( ikaw din GMA) should change their game plan. The story sucks big time. The humor sucks. It’s same ‘ol same ‘ol. No creativity at all! They should fire all their writers and directors and hire new ones. Napag-iwanan na sila ng panahon. What do you think? In furnace (read: in fairness) , Nanay Dionesia was very effective in her role though . I laughed my head off on every scene she had.
I also noticed these days that they (Phil. TV networks) like to go green. You know, recycling/reusing foreign shows and doing pinoy versions of them? Also, do you notice that they like using popular song titles as movie titles?! GRRR. And they would retort that they are just giving what the people want? Haller, it’s you, the media, that are influencing the people not the other way around!
Watching Filipino shows, in some way, serves as link to Pinoys oversees like me to our homeland but sometimes it become frustrating to see that Filipinos opting status quo rather than embracing improvement. I guess the shows back home are stuck in the era of Herbert Bautista, Erap, FPJ, etc. They should welcome new directors, new writers, new technology and new concept. We have enough teleseryes/soap, don’t we? Can we move on from sampalan and iyakan to more sensible shows? No wonder most of us Pinoys are melodramatic. Hehe. What I am really saying is that TV networks should give the audience a chance to use their brains.
By the way, hindi ako galit! Hehe

Apple Cinnamon Muffin
Post created on March 11, 2010 by Reesie under Food · 19 Comments »
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?!
