The Sassy Lawyer & Pinoy Cook on food, family and home.
Have you ever experienced finding something when you’re not looking for it and not finding something when you’re desperately searching? It has happened to me. Many times. Earlier today, I was looking for one very specific food photo in my hard drive and couldn’t locate it. You have to understand my filing system — the ... (more)
A week before undas*, we visited the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial at Fort Bonifacio. Not to visit any particular grave — we don’t know anyone who’s buried there — but to take photos.

Casa is Spanish for house. CASA is also an acronym for Connie, Antonio, Sam and Alex. We are all surnamed Veneracion. We all love to take photos -- of anything that catches our fancy. It's a family obsession.
This is a journal of how we live, eat, learn, play and have fun. Work? Work is part of playing and having fun. Seriously.
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.

Always unhappy with the fact that the dot com … »»
