Pretty sure a bunch of us grew up considering it one of the greens. But one fine day, my grade-school daughter corrected me -- it is apparently a FRUIT. Botany-wise, strictly speaking, it is a fruit.

A botanical fruit would have at least one seed and grow from the flower of the plant. With this definition in mind, tomatoes are classified as fruit because they contain seeds and grow from the flower of the tomato plant.

So, is it a fruit? Is it a vegetable? We will not delve into that, no, no. However way its called, whatever its "horti-culture", 1 thing's certain, it is an incredible edible! 🦸‍♀️

a feast for the eyes

Are you both a foodie and a movie buff? If so, then surely you love watching on the big screen movies that largely incorporate scrumptious food! For being such deliciously charming movies, what are your favorites? Top in my list are these two: 1. Ratatouille (2007) Set in France, this is the story of an unlikely friendship of a one-of-a-kind rat, Remy, and a hard up, clumsy but kind young man, Linguini; where one has an unusually refined taste for a rodent, and the other an unbeknownst inheritance. Their circumstances take them to a partnership they never imagined to reach for their dreams! This being a family movie that entertains the young and young once is a huge plus! 2. Chef (2014) This is a heartfelt and funny story of a 50-something chef in California. He is divorced and had no time for his young son. His career once started promisingly; foodies were on the lookout for his gastronomic creations. But pressure from the restaurant's prudent management, wh

Steamed eggy pie

If I've not mentioned it already, my little family is in love with chicken 🐔 eggs. 😍 We do not have the e99y as our beloved padre de pamilya for no reason at all. Omelette, sunny side up, egg sandwich, deviled eggs, scotch eggs, adobo eggs, salted eggs, egg soup, oh the list does go on! Another of our favorite take is steamed Eggy Pie . Much-loved by my brood, this one is perfect for merienda in school and at work or right in the comfort of home. Dessert? Easily so! Simple and delicious, this is also a no-bake recipe. Instead of oven, only a steamer is needed. And THAT makes it an absolute keeper in my recipe list! 😎 Steamed Eggy Pie Serving size: 8-inch pan 1+1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cold butter 2 tbsp sugar 3 large eggs 1 cup evaporated milk 3/4 cup condensed milk Vanilla essence Prepare the crust: 1. Mash and mix the dry ingredients below. 1 + 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cold butter chopped to small cubes 2 tbsp sug
