Tryna be a food blogger or NOT

Haiiii! I still exist! And yes, I've been M.I.A. again because of  too much stuff to do in school, and hurrah, it's our thesis year already! You read it right! My 3rd year in college is dedicated on researching, printing, revising, surveying, computing, defending and all the works you can imagine in thesis making. I am so thrilled because I only have 3 semesters left and it's goodbye university already! 

In other news, I had discovered a decent hang-out place in our town through 4square,  whenever the GPS is on, it kept on detecting this Nanot's Spaghetti House and I wondered where it was located and then one time Carlo and I were walking along some street here and  then hallelujah, there it was! Presenting my current favorite place, tanaaannnn!!!

Good thing that they have tables outside for the smokers.

Ze interior~ 

I like the dining set, it makes you feel like you're just in your grandparentals' home. 

The place is tiny which makes eating more intimate, LOL, intimate~

They do not just serve pastas, their menu goes from various sandwiches, salads, sizzling and rice, American, Japanese and Mexican dishes, which are really affordable and sumptuous! :)  Here are some of  mi favoritos!

cheese french fries, crab meat and cheese sticks and their deconstructed nacho salad

Ah, I love sweets and I am just so delighted that they started serving desserts already! 

It's fun to have a place like this in Santa Cruz, it's a nice break from the fast food junks we get to eat on lazy days. I am looking forward to their pizzas which the owner said will be available soon. The crews are accommodating and friendly. The powder room is always clean. For the nth time, lemme say, the food is really nomz and affordable and FATTENNNIIIIGGGG!!! :))

What a joy it is to spend the rainy afternoon with a tumbler of hot choco and a good book. ♥♥♥

Bacon makes everything right. Nuff said!

Went back to La Laguna, just because.

 LOL, the giants were Gov. ER Ejercito and his wife Mayor Maita Ejercito.

How could you not know about these men in barrels? ;)

I've been wondering where Carlo is, only to find out that he's dipped into the water.

My niece, Dane visited us, she's such a darling! ^_^

Study nook turned innernet haven, at least for the entire "summer vacation" only

 You should read this book before the movie comes out. I love Charlie and Patrick and Sam.

"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

Summady's enjoying the water!

Wicked Oreos

So,  I've been wanting to make deep fried Oreos since last Sunday, but then the weather is too hot that it made me so dysfunctional. Thank God because the 1st of May brought some rain, I finally decided to why not give it a try, after all, when this one fails, I'm pretty sure my son, Carlo will still eat it because, yeah, it's pancake and Oreo mixed together! :P Hello there, reader! I am Shasha and this is my first attempt on making this heart clogging, sinful dessert. :)

Ingredients:

• a box of Oreos
• pancake mix
• water
• cooking oil
• ice cream (optional)
• chocolate syrup (optional)

Procedures:

1. Mix pancake batter according to instructions.

2. Dunk the Oreos into the batter. Make sure that its completely coated.

3. Fry until pancake batter is golden brown already.

4. Serve on a platter with a scoop of ice cream, or drizzle it with some chocolate syrup. 

5. Stuff your mouth with these goodies and don't feel guilty about it! :)

See, it's easy as 1, 2, 3 (LOL, yabang!) I think everyone in the house loved it! :) My mother who's not into sweets really enjoyed it, and of course, Carlo who's been so supportive of me and considers this as real cooking said it was yummeh! :))
