I love ice cream and I can probably have ice cream if I could and that means everyday, not just during summer, but even if the weather is a bit cold.
Why am I talking about ice cream? Because its summer!
To further whet your appetite, here is a yummy photo from Bubba Gump restaurant:
So now I ask, “What is your favorite ice cream flavor or ice cream concoction?
My answer:

Saturday night was spent at the UP-Ayala TechnoHub after we had our flu vaccine.
The place is sprawling, no doubt about it. The circular designs, the water fountains and the water formations at the back of the front buildings are very familiar since these are present in several Ayala properties like TriNoma and Market! Market!
The children enjoyed walking outside while savoring the warm night breeze and I know we are going to be back to that place sooner than we think.

It was almost about this time last year when we had some fresh blueberries given by a student. It is from a place up north where these can be bought fresh and not frozen. All things berries like strawberries and blackberries can be bought there.
I wonder if they sell strawberry, blueberry or Blackberry plants? Still I would wonder if these will survive the hot temperature we have here in the lowlands.
Now that I have started baking, I am craving for some fresh blueberries so that I can make blueberry muffins. Now these definitely wold be bestsellers with my children 🙂

Kahel ang tema para sa Litratong Pinoy ngayong linggong ito. Siyempre naloka ako dahil gusto kong maglagay ng larawan ng kahel na prutas para angkop di ba? (sabay kamot ulo) Pero di yata ayos yun. Tsaka sa mga nakakikilala sa akin, alam nila hindi ko “type” ang orange at fuschia pink na kulay kaya wala ako halos gamit na ganitong kulay.
Orange, the color, is the theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy. Of course, I wanted to put a photo of an orange fruit so that is fits the theme right? I guess not. For those who know me well, they know I dislike the color orange and fuschia pink so I do not have things belonging to me with that color.
Ayan manggang hinog na kulay kahel (o kulay mangga, hehe), nakalagay sa toothpick kasama ng hiniwang suman. Almusal namin minsang malamig na umaga nung mahabang bakasyon nung panahon ng Kapaskuhan. May kasama itong inuming mainit na tsokolate mula sa nilutong tablea.

I am on the lookout for the perfect chocolate chip cookies recipe or the perfect fudge recipe.
Why? I plan to give these away to relatives and friends.
Because I am determined to practice “Frugal Christmas” though of course, because I have forgotten the baking lessons I have had eons ago, I may even be spending more than I care to if my baking forays will end up as failures.
Not to mention getting those necessary equipments for these experiments mean another extra dip in my already dwindling resources, I am still determined to do these and not shop for other gifts besides those for my students.
Below is something I made that comes from a recipe for blueberry muffins but I decided to put these in mini loaf pans so the kids can have slices instead of muffins. Turned out ok, I guess since they ate everything. Or maybe they were just hungry.
If these are not too good to give away, if they are edible at least and not life-threatening ( 😀 ), my kids would be more than willing to have these for themselves. I know how they loved baked goodies.
For those people I know who are eternally looking for the best fat burner, hah, get ready to eat these baked goodies once I perfect the procedure. As if.
