when the dog bites, when the bee stings

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things"


We all have our favorite things:) well, in my case i have this thing that you may call as 'seasonal favorite things'.. maybe it runs in the family hmmm have to ask MI parents. explaining further.. i guess i overdo or overindulge that my favorite things become THING OF THE MOMENT.. ahh that's more like it.

There's this funny episode, i guess four summers ago, my kuya and i were super craving for green mango shake, and since the fruit was in season, the fools (us) made sure mother dear always had those fresh green mangoes in the basket. i mean almost everyday we'd pulse those poor things in the blender, toss some ice and sugar and voila, our favorite thing, made us grin, pure bliss. UNTIL..

We had a serious case of diarrhea. we even had fever for days. And that was the end of our green mango shake affair. oh well, there's war all over the world..maybe one day, i'd still try a shake or two, but heck, not now. not even for a million dollars, hmmm lemme see.

From vienna sausage, to sapin sapin and servings of melon shake..and back.i've had moments with them, and then one day they're not my favorite anymore.. sure i still eat those, but not with as much gusto as before. i have food attention deficit disorder:) currently though THESE ARE MY FAVORITE THINGS:

APPLE TART (amira's or rowena's)
i'm not a fan of apple desserts, but this one won me over.. i want it served piping hot hot hot, so you can really savor the apple bits and the tartiness of the crust. plus the whole room smells like apples!


BETTER THAN ICE CREAM
I'm caught up between Triple Chocolate and Kahlua Brownie :)
..they say it's frozen yogurt..so it better be good on your waistline ++ it tastes pretty good! before we just have scoops..NOW we can down a 2L in one seating. Please no green mango shake incident PART 2 for me.

ROOTBEAR FLOAT/ MCDONALD'S COLA FLOAT
this favorite thing is a keeper. i am a rootbeer junkie..rootbeer float that is. there's just something about float, you know those A&W days. its comfort drink to me.

CHOWKING BEEF WANTON NOODLES, DUMPLINGS, NAI CHA
whether the sun is up or its drizzling all over town..nothing beats a hot bowl of noodles..spicy or not! i usually ask for an extra serving of chili sauce, perfect with fried dumplings..those golden, crispy brown babies.YUM. finish it off with a sip, or two, or three of their Nai Cha( milk tea) just ask them to serve the ice crushed to fully savor the milk tea.

NY FRIES..large please!
the bad thing about me? when i watch cooking shows all day..that means it's gotta be craving the next! the other day i wanted squid balls with hot sauce!! and bicho bicho brothers!! one thing that's a staple on my list though is fries, any fries. or in this case the NY FRIES! choices of dips, large cuts, i love potatoes, any kind for that. dipped in ranch dressing or or plain garlic, its comfort food, period.
Man, and that's just food, better rate my other faves (of the moment hehe)

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things


have a nice one!
