Sinus-clearing seafood sour soup, that's what Ms. Hazel called it. I really wish I had one of those right now! Yes, it's that time of year again: sniffles time. But really, I think that that soup is perfect any time of the year (or day!) for me. Click on the shot to see more of Ms. Hazel's post!

My post: Home-made Strawberry Topping

My son wanted to make (and eat, lol) cheesecake (the no-bake kind) but we didn't have any ready-made (in other words, CANNED) toppings. So, we made our own!

Ingredients

• Strawberries (frozen, or fresh)
• sugar, cinnamon
• vanilla, water
• butter (totally optional; I just felt like adding it)

Procedure

• Place fresh/frozen fruits in pot. Add a bit of water.
• Drizzle sugar, some ground cinnamon, vanilla, and butter.
• Simmer and mix every now and then until fruits are soft and liquid gets thick.
• Add some more water if needed.
• Remove from fire once satisfied with the consistency.
• Let cool completely before adding to your cheesecake.
• Indulge!

I think our strawberry topping needed more sugar (compared to the canned version), but I really didn't mind. I liked it. It tasted more ... real. :P

My food post for today: cakes (mostly)!

This was one of the shops that hubby said I must not miss, when we went to Davao a couple of weeks ago: Lachi's. He knows I like cakes and a colleague of his suggested this place. Am glad we went there!

I would have wanted to try their other cakes (there were lots!), but I felt that I already had way too much (I downed two slices - the mud pie and a pecan pie, together with the tea. lol). My youngest finished a slice of their five layer chocolate cake all by himself (he loved it!), while my eldest had hot choco and a piece of sans rival. The cheeseburger was hubby's choice - he isn't that fond of cakes. :P

The place was small, and could be easily missed. Good thing it was air conditioned, and comfortable; though am sure some customers had to wait (or leave) because they can't wait to be seated. Parking space is a bit of a problem, though. We were lucky the road wasn't that busy. Will definitely go back and try some of their other cakes!
