Pepsi Pogi

 

I saw this at 7-Eleven the other day and was unsure if I wanted to try.   My curiosity won.  I got a bottle with the prime intention of blogging about it after tasting it.  How did it go?   Well,  it did taste like the  regular Pepsi,  only a little sweeter,  but it felt weird drinking a golden colored Pepsi Cola.   I am not that happy with the label Pogi,  though.

Gumbo: Part II

It has been years since we last dined at Gumbo in Mall of Asia.   This time,  we visited their branch in Robinsons Manila.  And we are happy to note that nothing much has changed;   except that there are more branches now. 

The interiors are pretty much the same.   Clean and bright.    Same feel.  Same ambience.  Service is fast and friendly.  

We were the first customers to arrive that noon  so we were able to choose our table and picked the one with  the rounded cushioned sofa.

 

The complimentary appetizer came.  It was a pair of freshly baked bread with garlic oil dip.  I just wished they served more since there were four of us dining that day.

 

And then the feast arrived.   Two huge platters that had all the great grilled goodness you can think of... and more.

Underneath all that glorious food was  our rice,   veggies  and some grilled mussels.

Our bellies blessed us that day.  

 

Kitchen Timer

For less than a hundred pesos,  I got this very useful and very pretty kitchen timer that is so easy to use and very practical to have around.  

It has a LED display showing the minutes and seconds of the time.   There are only three buttons in front that are all self explanatory.  Setting the time and alarm is really very  simple.

 

There is a power button and a battery compartment in the back.  When not in use,  it makes for  a perfect refrigerator door magnet.

 

From steeping  coffee to boiling pasta,   to searing steaks,   to simmering dishes,  and yes,  even aerobic exercising,    this tiny litte timer has proven to be a nifty littel gadget that is great to have around the house,    and  isn't just for the kitchen.

Big Time Meals from 7-Eleven

These are two of 7-Eleven's latest addition to its growing set meals served hot and  ready to go.  Hubs and I tried them out and they are both surprisingly good and filling!

 

 

I can't wait for more.  :)
