Notes While Making Maja Blanca

Shop at More Food Adventures

In this post, I will not be sharing any recipe for Maja Blanca because it is easy to find. You may even have your own recipe. What I will share though, are some pointers I learned while my aunt, cousin and even my mom while they cooked Maja Blanca..  

Of course, to top the list is using clean utensils and a clean, well ventilated kitchen environment. Best of all, energy to continuously stir the mixture, lol.. Seriously!!!

Of course, some molders.. Clean and easy to use..

My mom says that we should use a wooden spoon or ladle to stir, instead of those metal ones. Why? Metal when used to stir is quite harmful in the sense that metal, with direct contact to food, and heated, may bring about some unwanted reactions. It easily becomes warm and hard to handle as one stirs.. Lastly, one can create a variety of flavors for the maja blanca, but should stick with the basic recipe as base.

Rent Books Instead..

It's the opening of classes in the Philippines and some parts of the world, while others are still on summer vacation. Some parents may now be looking for ways to buy expensive textbooks, while others may just be able to save 40-90% off of bookstore prices if they would just rent textbooks from CampusBookRentals.com, with free shipping both ways. What's really great is that, students can actually highlight in the textbooks, no need to feel being policed every time the book rented is used. Surely, that is how some students use their textbooks. I should know, I do that when I was in college.  Unlike borrowing from the library, there is a flexible renting period for each book. This book rental company is trusted since 2007, and has a growing clientele. Must be because they have a live customer support, should it be needed, and a 30-day risk free returns.

With you renting from them is also a good cause because they actually donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented. Operation Smile is an organization that performs cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not afford. Aside from that, the company have also set aside $90,000 in textbook scholarships which will be distributed to students in communities. A lot of books to touch a lot of students who could use a hand. 

I looked into some books and I found that the price difference is really something that could help a lot. Take for instance Cooking for Geeks, which I actually bought a year ago. My golly, it came out so cheap than expected.  

In case you wanna know how bookrentals work, here's a video:

So why don't you rent books instead of buying them? If it worked well for me, I am sure it work with you too.
