Family, food, photography
The last time I took photos of this toolbox (you really have to read the first entry about the toolbox to understand), the top compartment with the partitions was still empty. Well, it isn’t anymore. Speedy came home the other day with grocery bags, brought one into the bedroom and proceeded to unload its contents straight into his toolbox. I told him that placing the Choc-Nut bars there was tempting the ants too much.

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 … »
*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 … »

Sabi ko nga eh. Winnie the Pooh cute! hehehe

Connie,
This is scary. I mean a little bit spooky. After i saw the toolbox with the choco nut bars on it, i remembered what my husband , Raymund (UP IE 1982) did when we went to Vancouver last December. We went to a a couple of Filipino stores there and when he found those Choco Nut bars, he bought every single one of them on the shelf and ask if they have some more in stock. Came back to Texas with half a suitcase full of those candy bars. I guess he just misses Pinoy candies that much. Ubos na in less than a month. What to do with these husbands and their choco nuts!!!! IF it keeps them sweet to us, let them indulge he, he he.
Half a suitcase full? Talk about chocnut addiction hehehe Good thing it’s much cooler there. If he did that here, the oil would have separated and made a mess hehehe Actually, in the tropical heat, keep the chocnut inside the car for a day and the oil separates. Ang dumi kainin!
No kidding. Mabuti na lang at winter dito when it happened. Not just chocnut- anything sweet, weakness ni Raymund. Taga Bacolod kasi, they do make good sweet stuffs over there- a little too rich and sweet for my Bulacan tastebuds. Now we found a store 1 hour away where they have some decent polvoron and we have to go there every other week so he can buy them-dessert needed for his daily lunch box. I really have to learn how to make those polvorons. By the way, ano ang menu sa Father’s day?
Oooh, I love Bacolod sweets too. Butterscotch, Piaya, napoleones…
Wala pa nga for Father’s Day. Speedy just had his birthday yesterday and we had pritchon hehehe
Chocnut!!! Pahingi naman
When I went home in 2006, I bought a box for pasalubong but ended up eating them all. I miss, miss, miss that.
There’s this commercial about a mother-in-law visiting from the States and complaining about everything in the Philippines and muttering, “Walang ganyan sa States.” Then, her grandchildren greeted her and the son-in-law told her, “Walang ganyan sa States.” Applicable din pala sa Choc-Nut hehehe
Ok yun ah!
Actually pagdating sa pagkain, you can say that line to me over & over at laging bullseye.
This year I bought 4 boxes of chocnut, kaso hubby & pogiBoy got addicted to it too. I was planning to ration it for 2 months – maybe. But less than a month after our Pinas holiday UBOS. Ni-request ko na nga dun sa Pinoy store na mag-order naman sila hehe
4 boxes for 2 months tapos 3 kayong addict sa choc-nut? Sus, hindi talaga aabot yun hahaha
