Eco-friendly gift idea this Christmas

I've been wondering lately about what present should I buy this Christmas for my family and friends. I look around over the net to find something valuable and economical. I'm in a short budget today but I think it doesn't matter anyway. Besides, Christmas is not only about exchanging gifts and how much every presents cost but it is about celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. And by taking the spirit in our hearts, everyone can able celebrate the day joyfully.

As a result of my research, I've found a site that caught my attention. I told myself that this is a perfect gift idea because it has the qualities that I'm looking for. The site is called - Happy Tiffin It's about tiffins, a shiny stainless steel containers, made from high quality stainless steel food grade. Take note it's environmentally friendly.

It offers a unique array of tiffin containers in terms of style, design and size. You'll love it more because it is durable. You can use it anytime without any worries. I mean its not what you think, this stainless steel food storage is not prone to rusting, chipping, or deterioration. Like I said, it was made only from high quality steel food grade which can last long.

Unlike other containers such as plastics, it is 100% BPA free (Bisphenol A, a toxic chemical used in plastics). You can guarantee food safety! Another thing is, Happy Tiffin's food stacking containers are absolutely portable. It was designed just for you and have considered your worries.

Of course with Happy Tiffin, its possible! It is spill proof and waterlight. Very amazing indeed! ;> It keeps the container tightly lock and secure once set correctly, so there will be no leakage of food.

But take note, these are NON-microwavable. You can also use these for storing a number of items such as art supplies, candies, nuts, and small trinkets. Great for camping trips, truly multipurpose!

Mr. Bee fries reminds me of...

Last Monday, my boyfriend and I have bought meals from Jollibee for our lunch. We ordered 2 k2(2 pcs. burger steak, rice and reg. coke and 1 large rootbeer), 1 large french fries and 2 extra rice via phone call; it will be delivered to our office. We were really hungry that time because of the work load we have that day. When it was delivered, the french fries was in a paper bag and sealed with a tape, to maintain the crispness of the potato. When I've opened it, it emitted the great savor and freshness of the fries, then it reminds me of something. Something that happens long time ago that I also considered special.

When I tried to breath in the paper bag, it helps me enjoy playing back the memories I've had with my father. I recalled the day when we went to Jollibee in Malolos branch. I was small and young. Inside the Jollibee, the aroma of the french fries was there roaming around in the air. It was very delightful. Since then, I really like to eat french fries in Jollibee because it has a unique taste than an ordinary fries.

Even if I've forgotten about it, Mr Bee fries (french fries) helps me to remember it. And to that, I miss my father so much. (:|) My boyfriends says whenever he saw me breathing in and out in the paper bag, "I am like an addict, inhaling some kind of a drug." Though I can't resist the yummy savor of the fries. (;-p)

Food tRip!!!

My food trip this summer is something that can make me drool all the way. A food that has a great combination of spices, sweet, sour, salt and spicy.

Like the other day, my mother bought small "galunggong", banana leaves, small green mangoes(paho), and tomatoes. She cooked "sinaing sa patis" (a filipino food that has blend of salty and sour taste). The dish is very popular to all Filipino people. You can also cook other fish like "tulingan" using the same procedure.


To cook this menu, you will need:

raw fish (galunggong)
strips of banana leaves
water
tamarind or dried/fresh kalamias
rock salt

Here's how:

1. Bundle a four to five pieces of galunggong using strips of banana leaves. Set aside
2. In a casserole, put enough water, arrange the tamarind or kalamias(dries or fresh). Then put the bundled galunggong on top. Sprinkled it with rock salt.
3. Cook it in a moderate heat of fire for 20 - 45 minutes or until the fish is cook.


The dish taste good and can really make you eat especially when you ate it with tomatoes and green mangoes (paho).



Enjoy! =D
