The Sassy Lawyer & Pinoy Cook on food, family and home.
For some reason, we always have more than one kind of chili sauce in the house. The red kind (center and right), I use mostly for cooking although my husband likes to use them as dipping sauces too.

Always unhappy with the fact that the dot com versions of houseonahill and pinoycook weren't … (click here to read all »)
