Beef pie trial

Saw a butter crust pastry from foodwishes and decided to try it for beef pies

 

My favorite version is this.  The hand pie. 

Small beef and mushroom pot pie.

Growing basil

My basil plant is dying! I think the weather is too hot this summer. Two stalks dried up already. The leaves are falling out easily and they are very crisp like lays potato chips. :(

I tried again and basil was doing really good and now that it is summer again the basil is drying up. Why are you so hot Philippine summer?

Instead of buying plants I just buy a pack of basil from the grocery store, tear off the leaves to make pesto then line up the stalks, make a fresh cut and stick em in the soil of a pot. They always grow large leaves. 

Homemade mcdo/jollibee chicken

Newly baked: mini cheesecakes

These are good. Best of all the cream cheese is buy 1 take 1

Big Save: Dishwashing Liquid

I normally buy Joy dishwashing liquid in the refill packs of 200ml each for about P37.  One sachet lasts me a week.  Recently, I found Bubble Man Dishwashing Liquid in Landmark.  It is locally manufactured in Quezon City, thus a lower price.  I got 2 liters of dishwashing liquid for only P109!  When I buy Joy I get 400ml for P74.  For the same amount of Bubble Man brand 400ml will only cost P21.80.  Big savings, plus I can support a local brand.

For my spluge of the month, I bought Human Nature's Tough Love Dishwashing Li
