When craving KFC

We're actively weaning ourselves off of fast food. One way of killing the craving for store-bought crunchy fried chicken is to cook your own (and make them extra spicy like we like 'em).

Dickson's halo-halo w/ a side of corn

He doesn't like corn in halo-halo 'cuz it reminds him of the corn maja he detests, so Ice Castle served the corn in a dish. (Chowking ran out of halo-halo.)

Philippine Coffee: Rocky Mountain Cafe

Classic blend

Ground the beans to medium-fine (Krups) at about 75-degrees with the Kambrook (cappuccino maker, manual).

The flavor is light but promising and makes a decent brew. I unfortunately prefer a deep caramel finish especially for my waking cup. We will try the entire line of Rocky Mountain. Maybe one of them will hit the spot, then we wouldn't have to keep carting in our beans from Oz.

I'm eyeing the Cordillera blend for our next experiment.
