His Audio Headphone

My husband loves to listen to Pandora and though I like some of his music selection, sometimes he played his music too loud. I bet you know how I feel right? There are times that I want peace and quiet times but, that's the time he played his music with the volume's up. Oh, it was frustrating really!

I found a solution though. I gave him an audio headphone last Christmas and I thought he will not use it but, I was wrong. He used it everyday, thank goodness. Well, it may not be as nice as the american audio headphones but, it sure does solved my problem. Hubby can now listen to Pandora in his own world without annoying me with the loud music. Shhh ... don't tell him about my rant LOL.

Fit and Active Products: Fat Free Snacks

Aldie is one of my favorite grocery stories for one good reason, low price. If you think Wal-Mart has lower prices, go and check out Aldie and you will be blown away. I will give you an example, Titusville Florida- a gallon of 2% milk costs $4.08 in Wal-Mart but, in Aldie it's $2.99 and guess what, other Aldie stores priced it at $1.99 (Merritt Island). That's true! Next time, I will take a photo to prove that Aldie has low prices. Anyway, you heard about Fit and Active products right? If you are on a diet, you should check out this brand.

My husband is diabetic so; he tried this cookie cake and guess what; it's delicious. You should try this devil's food because it's not too sweet and its really delicious. Buy it and let me know but, I am sure that you will agree. I am not on a diet but, thanks to hubby for introducing this devil's cake to me. I like it a lot.

Here is another snack that I would like you to try. This cookie is good for diet, tastes great and very affordable. Just visit your Aldie store and find this product #FitandActive and I am sure, you will like it as much as I did.

Happy Times

One of the most amazing activities that I did when I was in high school was visiting my favorite radio host, Ate Joy A when I have no class. Her radio show was a hit by students plus, her selection of music was truly the best and captured the hearts of young listeners in my time. Sundays, I hang out in the radio station and she has shown me how to operate those confusing keys. Which key to turn on when there's a caller and how to put them on the air.

There was a recording studio and I tell you what, they have a singing contest as well and yep, I am one of those who can't make up to the monthly finals LOL. Anyway, inside the studio, it was overwhelming but, in a good way. Singing was like using the save on scarlett 2i2 and my voice sounds better inside the booth. I miss those times of joining the singing competition and playing the requested music on air. Those days were happy times for me.

Why Are Some Car Dealers Better than Others?

Obviously, my opinion may differ with yours and everyone else. Depending on our own experiences when we walk into a car dealership. There was one time when my husband and I went to checked out a reputable car dealer in our neighborhood. The car dealer company was truly recommended by a friend. When we went inside, we have no plans of buying. Guess what, after probably checking their inventory for almost 2 hours, we drove home a new car.

They have large inventory but, we were checking for an SUV so; that saves a lot of time. Besides, we know already the price of the car that we want. The best part was that their customer service was excellent. Hubby and I were in our casual clothing. We told the salesman that we just want to look at their inventory but, he was there and answers all our inquiry. We paid full in cash and that was it! The bottom line was, some car dealership is better than the others because their salesman look at everyone who walks into their premises as potential buyer. That salesman is so lucky that day!

Breakfast is Served

We have so many things to accomplish today so; I prepared a big breakfast. I love white rice and I basically eat rice 3x a day. Well, my husband finds that weird but, most Filipinos do eat rice on a daily basis. Some  are on a diet so; they eat red rice.

That's sautéed string beans with tomato and onion, scrambled eggs for me and sunny side up for hubby. The vegies are really good. What's yours?

Carrot Cake Bread

Today, I tested my new Cuisinart Automatic Bread Maker and I decided to make the carrot cake inspired by the Cuisinart Recipe Booklet.

Hubby enjoyed this Carrot Cake.

1 cup freshly grated carrots
1/3 cup chopped mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashew)
1/3 cup raisins.

1. Using the Cuisinart Automatic Bread Maker, spray the bread pan with cooking spray and make sure the kneading paddle is attached.

2. Place all ingredients in order listed above into the bread pan.

3. Press menu button and select #7, Cake/Quick bread program.

4. Press Start/Stop button to mix and bake.

      Note: While the batter is mixing, scrape the sides of the bread pan with a rubber spatula to incorporate the ingredients.

5. When the cycle is complete, remove from the bread pan and place it in a cake platter to let it cool.

6. Enjoy!

Cheesecake Sampler

I have a friend in college who loves to order different flavors of cakes just like the layer of cheesecake below. Every time I saw this, I always remember him. Anyway, for those of you who are not dieting, you can buy this Wellsley Farms Cheesecake Sampler in the bakery section in BJ's Wholesale Club in your area. This is worth $13.00 but, if you find a coupon, you can get this for only $10, truly worth it.

Right now, there's two more slices left so; I'm heading to the kitchen and satisfy my craving. A slice tastes really good. You should try it.

Not the Typical American Food

This is not the typical American food menu for Christmas but; my husband is happy and cooperative for what we have on the table. I miss Filipino food so; I have "sotanghon", it's a vermicelli pasta with vegies and shrimps.

 

I also have "maja blanca" for dessert and with these, my tummy is happy and contented. Well, hubby cooked ham as well. We have a great "noche Buena". We attended a midnight mass but, we went to church at 11:20 PM to listen to a Christmas Carols. We were home at quarter to two. We eat, watch a Christmas movie on TV and sleep late. In the morning, we open our gifts. Hubby loves my gift and I did too.

Okay, I have lots of fruits here. I made fresh fruit juices each morning. I still have the pineapple though.

Tomorrow, we will do the grocery shopping for New Years eve celebration. I have no idea what to prepare this time. I think pork and chicken adobo is a great idea and fettuccini pasta too. Hubby will also prepare for a seafood menu and a .... gumbo.

I need to buy fruits too. How about you? What menu do you have for New Year's Eve?

I am now so sleepy so; I have to say good night and thank you for visiting this blog always. I would like to wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. May God bless us all with good health, love and happiness always.

Don't you think this Santa is great looking? Yes, he is! Bye now and stay safe!

Red Baron Pizza : My Favorite Pizza

I can't believe that I am loving pizza these days. When we did grocery shopping, we found an on sale large pizza for 3/$9. We bought it and in less than a week, we ate it all. The fact that I am not a pizza lover, I am truly amazed that I ate 4 to 5 slices at a time. I love the crusts and the toppings. I don't even like pepperoni but, with Red Baron Pizza, it is surprising that I love the taste. Red Baron Pizza is now my favorite. Try it and tell me if you like the pizza of Red Baron as well.
