Pork patty, herbs & arugula spring rolls
If a food show has a reality TV format, I skip it. It's that simple. I prefer informative and entertaining but sans the contrived drama. Like Good Eats with Alton Brown. And Foodography. … »»
Mocha and almond trifle
The inspiration started with a photo. The finished dessert turned out to be something else because, believe or not, it was partially made with “failed cookies.” What failed … »»
Gelato, cappuccino, bento and udon
A story I almost forgot to tell. It was in December between Christmas and New Year and my mother wanted to go out to buy her Christmas gifts for the girls. The gift-buying part took a very … »»

The author
It's tempting to simply ask that you Google "Connie Veneracion" or "Sassy Lawyer" or "Pinoy Cook" and have this page done with. But that might give you the wrong idea about me. A third of what's been written about me is true, a third is half-true and the rest consists of drug-induced hallucinations. I suppose I'd better let me, rather than them, tell you about me. I'm … »
The cooks
*This article was last updated on October 2, 2011. In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP. Ok, never mind the geek talk, I'm sure you're not interested in that. The contents easily multiplied and, in 2004, I moved the food site to … »

Mommy, yung sweldo ko.
Ano gusto mo — in kind o in coins?
Gusto ko, bag bag ng CASH.
Galing ni Sam
Gumagamit ba siya nung mga pre-set modes (e.g., sports mode) sa shots niya? Aperture priority/Shutterspeed priority? O fully Manual?
Namiss ko tuloy EOS 300 ko (not D, film SLR!). Just might blow the dust off that one.
Love the “supercat” photo, galing!
Pero mas magaling reply mo kay Sam hehe
whatever she saw…its a great moment captured…
when i was in elementary, i have to fetch water for my neighbors or sell guava to have some money for my comics collection, now its just taking pictures…how high tech! shoot more Sam
Hi Connie! I just remembered through this beautiful photos about your missing cat. I wasn’t able to follow-up on that entry if you ever recovered your lost cat. Just curious
Si Puti, nahuli niya yata ang ibon dahil lick niya ang kanyang paws, mmm yum yum.
@Sam, sige anak, bag bag ng COINS. Will throw in the Taiwanese coins as well.
@Jon, I didn’t check the EXIF data. She had the cam for an hour and when she returned it (all photos were taken in the backyard yesterday after school), there were 133 photos in the memory card.
@junnie, i friend once told me: give a kid a cam and you’ll get pics you never thought possible. iba talaga perspective ng bata.
@Lorena, hay, she’ll certainly shoot more.
@Elit, you mean Salt? he never came back. The white cat in the photo is Bebe, Sam’s cat for oh so many years. Supercat is the only survivor from Bebe’s latest litter.
@Rey, ah hindi, kasi the bird was 20 feet up LOL
That’s the thing with analog SLRs, walang EXIF. Hehehe.
Galing ni Sam. I wish I have her talent as well
ang ganda na nga ng mga photos, ang galing pa ng presentation
Ria, me too hehehehe
kotsengkuba, masarap mag photo blog pag ganyang may story that can be weaved from the sequence of photos.
Oh, I posted more of Sam’s photos in Manila & Beyond.
Question pala: how do you store all your pics? External harddrive?
ang galing nung pusa!!!! ang perfect nung timing sister!
Jon, yes, a 120GB external hard drive. Sam has her own — a 40GB hard drive.
delish, kamusta na buntis? next month na lalabas?
Sam.buti na lang hindi na nanghihingi ng pera ang aking Neneng, kasi ang dami na rin nyang postings. I wish to share with you the pictures she took at Bellingrath, http://picasaweb.google.com/pinay.lakas/BellingrathGarden enjoy
Loved the pics, especially the first one! It kinda reminded me of the pet cats me and my siblings used to have when we were kids.
