hi annamanila, you can use the frozen strawberries in milkshakes or protein shakes. You can cook them with sugar for a sauce. Or even bake them into pies or pastries. I did a feature on a berry compote a few weeks back that might be of interest to you.

You mentioned frozen strawberries. I’ve had these two packs I got from Makro really cheap, buy one take one yata. I still haven’t figured out what to do with them. Pwede ba sa cheesecake? fruit shake? Syruped and then used as icecream topping? Which reminds me i also have a big bottle of good shepherd strawberry preserves, untouched. That was why I was interested in puff pastry you mentioned in another post.

Ty very mucho.

that don’t seem to look really appetizing. Your red rice looks a little different from the one I have. I eat red rice too! I bought this thai red cargo rice at Carrefour and they don’t seem to soften as yours in the picture above. What kind of red rice is that? More importantly how do you cook it to make it really soft and gentle to my teeth? They can be as hard as stone sometimes. Ouch!

Apicio, yeah, when I make pho, I do pause a second before dropping in the raw beansprouts… :P But if you have constructive, step by step tips for growing my own beansprouts, please send the info my way! MM has my email addy. I dont have tiered, ridged plastic trays like you, what can I use instead?

treehugger, I try to make up for it by planting over 100 hardwood trees per annum and using a market basket to reduce on plastic waste… :)
