Sign Language
I pressume all of you knows the sign language. People tend to use it lalo na kong parehong magkaiba ang kanilang linguahe. Madalas ko itong gamit noong bago pa ako dito sa Germany, kulang na lang na pati nguso at mga paa ko ay gamit ko rin para lang nila ako maintindihan. That was 23years ago. Kaninang hapon napilitan na naman akong gamitin ito although German ang taong "kaharap" ko. It happened on my way to Handelshof (wholesale supermarket) in Moenchengladbach. Somewhere along Autobahn 61, a Mercedes car before me was driving very slow. Nagtaka ako

Chocolate Chiffon Cake With Creamy Chocolate Frosting
I had been trying to bake chocolate cake with that creamy chocolate frosting like the one I've tasted in Davao. But unfortunately, I never succeed. So last Friday, I “combed†the whole web to find for the frosting recipe again. There were more than a hundreds of recipes I found but selected only two. The first one I made end up in the trash bin and the second was a success. Wow, I finally got the right mixture of creamy oh so creamy chocolate frosting. My husband who came in the kitchen later was shaking his head as he saw the kids faces smeared with chocolate cream. My chocolate monsters had great fun eating the leftovers with their fingers. To chocolate lovers like me, I’m going to share to you both chocolate chiffon cake and frosting recipe. By the way, this delicious chocolate chiffon cake recipe uses cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate to give it its wonderful taste. Please make sure to use cake flour for this cake. I unfortunately forgot to save the link of the author, that means I also can't add her name.

Each Child Is Different
We had a wonderful sunny weather today kaya naisipan kong linisin ang harapan ng aming bahay. Maya-maya, lumabas ang aming kapitbahay kasama ang kanyang anak na halos kasing edad ng aking bulilit. Wala sana ako sa mood na makipaghuntahan sa kanya dahil balak ko pang ipasyal ang mga bata. Kaya ako nagmamadali sa aking ginagawa. But well, since I'm no bastos nakangiting aso pa rin ako and listened to her endless complains about this and that. Habang ang dalawang maliliit naman were playing behind us and we can not over hear Gillian talking "kauderwelsch". She began to ask questions about my boy and then started bragging about her son who can talk more and clearly than Gillian, her son who is so intelligent and blah blah blah. Hello, please excuse but I'm aware of that fact okay? Oh well, some parents believe that a child who begins to walk at 8 months is more talented and smarter than a child who begins to walk at 12 months. The fact is that children are just different. The child who begins walking later may grow up to be a better athlete than the child who starts to walk at a younger age. What I mean to say is that no two children are the same. She heard Gilian saying "Mama

Italian Tirami-su Cake
Tiramisu is one of the cake that I love to eat. There is no doubt, Tiramisu is the popular Italian dessert...known worldwide. No wonder, it is sooo delicious! I usually bake this on special occassions, and family gatherings. I simply want to serve something different than the usual or typical german cake.Take note, this cake is not for young kids due to Amaretto. The alcohol amount is not much but I'd rather warn you upfront :). The recipe also contains fresh eggs, so I advice you to consume the cake at the same day you bake it or keep the rest refrigerated. Oh by the way, you need a pastry when baking this Tiramisu recipe. Since I am a lazy cook...I mostly buy a ready made one from the bakery. It makes the preparation time shorter, but just incase you are willing to bake the pastry yourself.
