 I read on the internet today that...  

"Love is a verb 

demonstrated time and time again."

 Good morning. 

It's Friday already. Yehey! 

It's hazy outside, and the air quality is poor. That is due to the wildfire in Canada. 

When our son came down from his bedroom to the family room, he immediately forbade me to go gardening today. But, if insisted, make sure to wear a mask. 

I'll be working indoors today, plus I have a mammogram appointment at 2 p.m. Gardening will resume tomorrow, and I'll make sure to wear a mask.

Garlic Lover

I was checking messages on Facebook, and while at it, I saw this video of a lady cooking an Italian dish that she said she got the recipe from her Italian mother-in-law.

But I got extremely distracted when she put on the lid to the stainless steel pot she was using. Its handle  was an intricately designed shape of two garlic bulbs nestled on top of grape leaves.

It was just beautiful.

I want NEED a whole set of this cookware.

The room that I spent most time at home in is the kitchen, which comes second to the bedroom.

With a little digging on the internet, I found that it is by the Italian brand called Ruffoni.

... and omg! They're so mahal. (Read: so expensive.)

This 2-piece set (pot and lid) costs $650. 

Whoah!

And a whole 14-piece set, but not the garlic lovers' style costs $3,945.

This cookware can really break the bank, but it would be worth it if you can afford it.

 In the living room...

"Ma, what's the Bisaya word for cloud?" Asked my son.

"Panganod!" I answered in a heartbeat.

"Why is that word so long?"
