Otap from a Good Friend, Dhemz!

Yesterday, I got this package from Dhemz. author of My Life's Perception and Inspiration. An Otap all the way from Cebu! I am so lucky to have Dhemz as one of my best blogger friends. She is indeed a very nice and thoughtful person that is why she is love by many of her friends and I am one of them :-); anyway, I want to thank you, Dhemz for this sweet gift you sent me. I love and missed you dear Sissy!

Otap is an oval biscuit made of flour, sugar, shortening and the ever reliable coconut. Sprinkled with sugar, a careless bite of this fragile biscuit would send fragments of it flying to the floor. But it is not as scary as it sounds; though one have to admit that eating otap is an art by itself. Little children are often told to be careful when eating it, they are supposed to put one hand under their chin to catch the sugar and fragments that might break off from its thin mass. Even adults have to master the art themselves; careful to inhale a little at every bite to ensure no bits of sugar goes astray. The use of the other hand still proves useful at times, if only to avoid the ants from feasting upon the fragments on the floor; which would be a waste of treat. That, my friends, makes eating otap one adventurous eating experience.

Sunday Stealing: The Pretentious Blogging Meme 2

A note from Judd...

Hi everyone and welcome to this year's Super Sunday Stealing! Today our meme originated from TWO sources. When I edited last week's meme, most questions were multiple questions. So I separated them. It was suppose to be an 18 question meme. When I realized that 7 questions were missing, it was too late. At least a dozen people had already done the meme. So the first questions today are from the meme we stole from Little Bark from the blog
The Tree Unleashed. Last week a player, Going Like Sixty added questions of his own and invited us to use them this week. So we took the questions that I didn't published (Boy, was Bud pissed! Only joking...) and most of Sixty's questions and we now have part two of a 25 question meme. If you missed last week, here's your chance to do a two for one!

Cheers to all of us thieves!

What happened to Haiti was very devastating not just to those people who care, but most of all to those who have lost their families and, loved ones, but most of all the children who lost their parents. My heart goes out to them, just like everybody else. And since that tragedy, many people and charitable institutions reached out to help. To ease their pains and suffering, I would like to help, but don't know how. Thank goodness, after some internet searching, I have found a way to help, and maybe it would help you, too!

Food Trip Friday: Baked Chicken Thighs

This is one of my family's fave recipe for chicken. My son loves the skin because it is crispy and the fats are gone. Hubby likes the taste of dill weed in it. I like it because it is still moist inside. It is very easy to make and the ingredients are already in your fridge and pantry. If you do have: dill weed, salt, pepper, lemon or lime, then you can make it. All you have to do is sprinkle the rest of the ingredients and then squeeze lime/lemon on top of chicken. Bake uncover for 45 minutes on 350 degrees and then, enjoy!
