Afritada is a blend of soy sauce, vinegar and tomato sauce. For this recipe I used pork but you may also use chicken or a combination of both.  This yummy dish goes perfectly with garlic fried rice.

Hubs has an addiction.  An addiction to ps3!  Ever since we had the console, he’s been glued to it, trying to master all the ps3 games we have.  Then he would brag to the kids how he beat the bosses, haha.  He gets to spend a lot of time playing while the kids are in school, but he’s off limits during weekends.  The kids won’t let him touch it because that’s the only time they can play.  Poor hubs will just go back on tinkering his car on those days.

The Happiness Award came from two lovely ladies, Rosie over at All About Cakes and Nadekcir over at In My Kitchen.  Visit their wonderful blogs if you haven’t already.  Rosie makes great cakes and is an expert cake decorator.  Nadekcir whips up yummy dishes.

So along with the award there are some rules. I have to link their blogs to me and I have done that above.

Next I am to list 10 things that make me happy.

Before spending your hard-earned money on anything electronic, you may want to check out deals of the day first. You can find out a bargain in an instant without being overwhelmed by so many choices. My friend scored a brand new V-touch for only $69.99. You’ll have to act real quick though, because some items are limited and when they sell out, they’re gone. And oh, don’t forget, featured items and discounts are only available for one day.

My appointment with the dentist was set at 3 pm yesterday.  Knowing so well that this isn’t usually followed, I brought a book with me in case I had to wait.  I arrived at the clinic 10 minutes early and as expected, the doc is still working on another patient.  Sharon, his assistant ushered me to the waiting lounge then handed me the remote for the HDTV.  Whoa!  I’m impressed!  Last time I was there,  I watched the Asian Food Channel from their small tv that looked older than my teenage son (hehe).  Their Samsung unit doesn’t disappoint – on technology or style.  The colors are so natural and vibrant.  I was glued to the tube the time passed by so quickly I didn’t realize it was my turn already, sigh.  I was enjoying it!

I want to have one of those at home… that will be our next project. 

When you’re just about ready to give your kitchen a new look, start with stainless steel kitchen sinks. A stainless sink will not only add class to your kitchen,  it is sleek, contemporary, and best of all, stain resistant.  I just had  a stainless steel kitchen sink installed in my kitchen.  It features flat basin bottoms to help prevent glassware from tipping or sliding, so less accidents for me.     The rounded basin corners also add convenience, making them easy to clean.

So before you decide on anything else, consider a stainless sink, it will give you that peace of mind knowing that your kitchen is always clean and sanitized.
