The (Mis)Adventures of Superboink

Hi everyone! I recently submitted my shortlist of nominees in the 2011 Emerging Influential Blogs . Part of that list is this blog, ' The (Mis)Adventures of Superboink ' This blog was born February 17, 2011  and the posts appearing on my archives earlier that the said date are from my old and inactive blogs - me uncensored  and madlyfairandsquare  - both running under Blogger before.

The (Mis)Adventures of Superboink is not a continuation of the above-mentioned previous  blogs.  It started on a clean slate, has a different tone and now mostly focuses on motherhood and food.

But there are also times when I have other chores to do, work or simply just not feeling well - that I have to think of the easiest but the tastiest meals I could do. I am no chef and have no formal culinary education. My love for cooking started when I was still a kid, watching and helping my lola prepare our meals. I learned cooking the Pinoy staples like sinigang and adobo without a recipe in hand - but by using my discerning tastebuds. I am happy that despite having a picky-eater husband and son, I still satisfy their appetite and that I am able to feed them with enough nutrients that we actually need. Hopefully, I'll be conscientious enough now to share and post m...
