Today will be a very hectic day for me because tomorrow is THE DAY! Tomorrow, all roads lead to the Convention Center at the fourth floor of the NCCC Mall of Davao. Bloggers will converge for the first ever Mindano Bloggers Summit. Today is ingress and last minute preparations day. Kuya Andrew, Gwing, and I woke up very early to do some stuff for the MBS. Then we brought him to the house where he is staying, then we had arroz caldo and tokwa't baboy at Dencia's. YUM! I then went to the office to start blogging and blog hopping. I was offline for more than 24 hours because I went to General Santos City yesterday. I have already made two blog entries this morning but I have lots more to blog about: 1) Things to Remember for a Road Trip - Life with Ria 2) Pinoy Big Brother Updates - Chikadora 3) Dencio's - My Davao City 4) What to do When You're In-Charge of Food - Work with Ria 5) Memories of our General Santos City Trip - Life with Ria Gwing and I are leaving the office soon to meet up with Kuya Andrew and Jayvee for…

Baking Class Day 2
It was another tiring day as Kuya Andrew and I attended the second (and final day) of our Bread Making Class in CACS Davao. This time we had an easier time baking and finished earlier but it was still very stressful. Kuya baked Blueberry Bread and Whole Wheat Pan de Sal. I baked Walnut Loaf and Cuban Bread. Other breads that were baked were Olive Bread, Fig Bread, and Potato Bread. Chef Jun jun made dip which was perfect with the breads. YUM! I'll post the photos taken by Kuya and more info about this experience in the coming days. :D

Baking is NOT an Easy Job
Kuya Andrew and I took a baking class at the Center for Asian Culinary Studies here in Davao City. Our instructor was Chef Jun-jun de Guzman, and there were 7 of us in the class. I was tasked to bake Focaccia Bread and French Rolls. Kuya also baked French Rolls and Ciabatta. It was a very educational but also very tiring experience. The kneading was the worst part. ARGH! Luckily, my Foccacia and French Rolls came out great. But the best bread were the Dinner Rolls. Chef Jun-jun also concocted a dip which he only thought of right that moment. It was yummmmmy! We have another class tomorrow. We will be baking whole wheat bread, blueberry bread, walnut loaf, cuban loaf, and potato bread among others. I'm already excited, but scared at the same time. I hope those breads require less kneading. HAHA!
