The Blue Cottage

Thank you so much Bajoy Manahan for the wonderful shots!;)

Turkey Pastrami Sandwich

Toasted whole wheat baguette slathered with freshly made pesto and sharp Dijon mustard, stringy mozzarella, peppery turkey pastrami, crunchy vegetables and a topping of organic mixed greens. Washed down with a passion fruit and dalandan smoothie.

Yummy! Lunch is served;) 

I just had to take a shot of my view (Taal Lake with Taal volcano right there on the upper left corner) while lazily picking on my sandwich:)

Happy days...

Almond Biscotti

crunchy almond biscotti drizzled with dark chocolate

perfect for tea, coffee or just nibbling on anytime of the day;)

 chunks of almonds, yummm...

 tea time with a view

Persimmon, Feta & Arugula Salad

i bought a couple of persimmons at the farmers market.

i happily (and greedily, truth be told) brought them home to be made into a simple yet awesome salad with organically home grown cherry tomatoes, sweet potato shoots and arugula... added some toasted almonds and slivers of feta cheese...drizzled with good balsamic vinegar, apple cider, light olive oil and sea salt...

then i sat on the edge of the terrace to bask under the sun, enjoy the view and lazily pick on my salad...

sweet, crisp and refreshing! 

oh, happy days...
