Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each ...

Changing Center of Gravity and My Unexpected Visit to Asian Hospital

Image
Changing center of gravity: The first reason you may be stumbling is obvious—you're getting bigger. As your belly grows outward, your whole center of gravity is thrown.

While you are pregnant you may notice your balance is a little off, increasing your risk of tripping or mis-stepping. Though your baby-to-be is well cushioned in your belly, falling wouldn’t be good for either of you. You will want to start being more careful when moving about. Here are a few tips: Try not to carry things around with you that if dropped, could harm yourself. Use the handrails when going up or down stairs. Do not wear high heeled shoes, but instead, comfortable shoes tha...

My labor story

Image
I know my due date is already near that is why we have been preparing for the big event. We prepared her room already. I have made the necessary arrangements at work. I already got the approval to work from home from December 17 onwards or until I give birth. After all my due date is still on the 31 st . I have drafted my birth plan and just for final approval from my OB. There are just some more things to pack in the diaper bag and our own hospital bag. Bottomline, to some extent, we were ready. Though, at the back of my mind, I really want to give birth on December 18. If you ask me why on the 18 th simply because it is my favorite number. But God has really prepared a plan for each one of us. It may not be the same as our plan, but definitely it is the BEST. On my 37 th week, in the early morning of December 12, 2011, I felt something weird inside. It was like a ‘twitch’ in my side. I got up and went to our bathroom. I saw blood in my pee. At that instant, I realized ...
