EDSA Rev Soaps

Shop at More Food Adventures

Because we have no classes today, I made these babies.. Resting for me is doing things that make me happy. Soap-making makes me happy.. 

These two sets actually come from a single recipe. But some disaster have caused me to make two batches out of this one recipe. 

For this recipe we used Canola Oil, extra virgin olive oil, Palm oil and coconut oil made by a local. I do not understand why the coconut oil have caused separation, so that the above soaps instantly traced, while the one below, I had to remove oil and start over like a new batch.. Adding again new mixture of lye and water as well as all the other ingredients. 

After many hours, this 2nd batch finally hardened a bit, enough to be sliced.. 

The final product looked amazing to me, but they are actually layered due to the separation that I have mentioned earlier. The first batch however, didn't separate. 

Well, that's today's soaps. I call them Edsa Revolution Soaps, hehehehe..

No Class Today

Shop at More Food Adventures

It's the 29th year of EDSA, so we do not have classes today. Some of the kids from the neighborhood sold suman, and being kids as sellers, I can not help but buy some to help them. 

Anyway, the suman they sold were steaming hot, so I presumed they were good. But when I got to taste one, I was simply disappointed. The malagkit isn't pure malagkit. It tasted like some rice was mixed to it. 

Anyway, it's okay. We only bought four anyway. I hope that was a big help for them already. We could have bought more though, if they were what we expected. 

For lunch, we had vegetable curry. We had chickpeas, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes and pineapple bits sauteed and curry flavor was added. It's the curry seasoning I bought in Singapore last December, and this dish became more exciting because of it. Other spices were added like ginger, onions, garlic, peppers, and more. 

I love this dish because it reminds me of a curried vegetable dish we tasted in Singapore, that we could not forget..
