Nancy Cudis talks about Her mother's unusual breakfast time tales

I believe there is no greater compliment than a child writing praises to a parent, so when I read Nancy Cudis post about her Mom, I felt her Mom is the most lucky Mom in the world.   My mother and her unusual breakfast time tales By Nancy Cudis My mother is a born storyteller, very verbose and quite animated. Just like her own mother, she remembers many stories from long ago, even from the time when she started first grade. Mind you, not all of these are happy bedtime stories that make you smile before you sleep. These are tragic tales of the Japanese occupation, of unrequited love, of regrets, and of what-could-have-beens and what-ifs, pretty much balanced off with stories of climbing the neighbor’s mango tree (and harvesting some fruits without permission), of harvesting cacao at her family’s own backyard, and of endless talking over laundry by the riverside.

“A Story of Christmas”

Where to find Good-Quality Scones and Bread on quarantine period

        2 min. read Cebu City, Philippines.           What makes a good bread?  There are certain qualities that people look for in a good bread.  We all have our own favorites.  For most of us Cebuanos, white bread is a staple.  And we usually have the usual sliced bread in our kitchen shelf.          Me and my boys love the commercially-available Ichipan white bread.  Sometimes, we run to the nearest Julie’s bakeshop for their rare special sliced bread.  But when a family friend introduced her daughter’s loaf to us, we were forever spoilt.     Here are 3 reasons we love Hannah’s White Bread: Freshly Baked     We all know that anything fresh-from-the-oven is heavenly.  And that’s what Hannah’s bread is all about.  She bakes it on the day you pick it up!  So it’s definitely by order basis only.  It’s still slightly warm whe...
