anniversary cake

when the hubby and i got married, we saved the top layer of our cake so that we can eat a slice to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. we've had it in the freezer for one whole year! i took the cake out of the freezer and defrosted it prior to dinner so that we can have cake for dessert with coffee. everyone (couple friends) told us that if you didn't pack and seal the cake correctly, it will be soggy and the cake will taste bad. i've forgotten how i packed the cake. we came home from dinner and started unpacking the foil around the cake. after all the foil and saran wraps were removed, it appears that the only damage were the flower candies. it became soggy. after slicing a piece, we were ready for the taste test. surprise! the cake tasted the same! i must've packed the cake tightly enough that there were no frost bites around the cake. we made it!

another food blog...

another food blog? don't we already have countless blogs on blogger, typepad and wordpress? this is not counting the people who own their personal sites.

i was recently inspired to write a blog again after our recent vacation and my ever growing interest in food. i loved eating at home, eating at restaurants, eating at some "hole-in-a-wall" place that i consider a "find", entertaining at home and traveling.

the hubby and i recently had dinner with one of our couple friends (i'll call them foodie couple #1) and were comparing notes on our most recent finds and theirs. we both agreed that being a foodie is not just about the food but it's the experience as well. we love going to different places, trying new foods,  meeting new people and the feeling of satisfaction from a good meal.

what is a foodie?

according to dictionary.com, a foodie means: a person keenly interested in food, esp. in eating or cooking. well, i definitely qualify as a foodie then.

losing weight is difficult when one likes food as much as i do. no matter how much i walk or work out, it's always outweighed by the fact that there's always a new place i want to try out. it's also difficult being a foodie. it's countless checking for availability of reservations (online and by phone), reading reviews, traveling (traffic), and of course, budgeting monetary funds.

from the moment i get up in the morning till i sleep at night, my world revolves around food. what's for breakfast, lunch or dinner?
