When DW was sick a few months back, I cooked up these fried apples so that he’d get a sweet treat after his breakfast. DW had a cold then and was feeling miserable (and so were BDW and I) and so I thought that an extra special dessert was needed to lift our weary selves up.

It’s a simple recipe that you  could also do as a side dish I guess — I really can’t say much about main dishes as my cooking repertoire only consists of banana-raisin pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches haha.

My good friend Steph shared with me her recipe for fried apples.  I didn’t use any measurements I just adjusted as I went on with the “cooking”

Ingredients: For the bowl of fried apples above, I used around two to three medium-sized apples cut into thick wedges.

You’ll also need butter, cinnamon and/or nutmeg and brown sugar.

Mothercare is one of those stores that I always have to enter even if I don’t need to buy anything for DW. It’s just nice to go around and window shop. Well one day while at the Trinoma branch, BDW, DW and I went to Mothercare because the store was on sale and bought DW some sandals.

We also saw these outfits!!! Ang kulit!!!

We spent one weekend earlier this Summer at the Intercontinental Hotel Manila. They have an ongoing promo there called the I-Hop where you “hop” from one buffet to to the next. They have three buffets at the hotel and one of them is at Prince Albert where we stuffed ourselves with prime rib. The promo also includes buffet merienda and free use of the pool. We took this deal further because we booked a room and spent two days eating and swimming. Totally worth the price AND the calories

And these two could have stayed in the pool the whole time. DW loved it!

The staff at the hotel are really friendly, courteous and accommodating especially with DW! To know more about I-Hop, you can visit Manila Reviews’ post of the promo  here.
