May Photo DIary
(Hover and click each photo for detail)
May is bustling with daily cooking of various recipes for breakfast. It was a very hot-weathered summer, but at the same time, the family enjoys a varied array of recipes everyday. I'm usually preparing salads in Mediterranean style, and fruit juices (not pictured) with combinations of mango, banana, avocado or guyabano.

A Cafe Dining
Last Saturday, I unexpectedly bumped at Gustav cafe located at the heart of city. I initially bought a spicy shawarma and planned on taking a seat and order some cold tea drinks for a snack. It was already evening so I then thought it’s also time for dinner.
I looked at the menu to choose what dish might accompany the apple cinnamon tea, and browsing through the list, I chose baked mussels (can’t go wrong with seafood). They’re local mussels baked with rich cheese and some mayonnaise. There’s slices of orange alongside. For my thin frame and diet, it’s almost like a full meal in itself.
Upon arriving home, my siblings bought with them some chocolate cakes as well.
Sometimes, there’s just this need to treat oneself with fine dining every once in a while, isn’t it? After all, change comes in many forms. And I wish for this year to be a kind of change as well.
Have a nice mid-week!

Healthy Gastronomic Twist
For most of us who live fast-paced or time-constrained lives, it's quite often that we tend to overlook the nutritional content of what we eat, especially for those who dine on fast-food restaurants. Freshly prepared, homemade hearty recipes might be an inconvenience if we're always on the go, so we find our fast-prepared lunch or dinner with high contents of artificial ingredients, excess carbohydrates, and unhealthy fats. So there's a need for consciousness, not only for good taste, but also for a healthy and balanced diet and well-being.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a twist for healthier balance? How about sumptuous veggie salads?
At least every dinner, I try to make vegetable salads at home to complement almost any main dish cooked by my mom or sister. Sometimes, I also make fruit juices and shakes. Greens combined with the bright colors of vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, peppers, or carrots, make every meal look like fine dining.
Preparing salads is quite easy, with just a bit of inspiration and creativity, it's also like drawing or making a painting. Experiment with the many unique flavors, colors, aroma, and texture of vegetables, then toss and mix them with flavorful dressings, and you'll be delighted with the results.
Chop the greens and other ingredients in a way that they could absorb the dressing's flavor well, and which can make them look more appetizing. If desired, chill the salad a few minutes before serving. For dressings, variations of olive or sesame oil, honey, mustard sauce, sugar, dash of lemon, orange concentrate, or soy sauce can be used.
Happy salad making!

Conclusions
There's an ending. There's a beginning.
I miss updating here on a daily basis. Changes are happening lately. I'm dealing with all the uncertainty, and hoping to get used with it.
