The Cross

A blessed Resurrection Sunday!

Hello, how did you celebrate the Holy Week? Did you visit churches or do the Stations of the Cross as many people do? A lot of friends send, using the social media, messages on the significance of Christ’s death on the Cross of Calvary. 

Here, I’m also featuring the cross... I mean, the Lacy Cross. That is, the Lacy Cross Crochet Bookmark I made, inspired by the pattern I got from Petals to Picots. 

The Lacy Cross Crochet Bookmark 


I made this Lacy Cross Crochet Bookmark three years ago. I posted a photo of this in Ig and FB, then gave the finished product as a gift to a dear sister in the Lord. I didn’t have a chance to feature it in my blog before until it surfaced in my FB memories lately, so I thought now is the best time to blog about it.

Crocheting this bookmark gave me lessons on patience and determination. Patience because I made several mistakes along the way so I had to frog (unravel or rip out) the  stitches several times before getting the project done. Oh, I didn’t say I succeeded at following the directions to the letter. Sorry, Kara, the first Lacy Cross I made was without mistake. I was almost done when I realized I missed some steps so it was a total trial and error experiment. I just don’t know if the recipient noticed the error. 🤪🤪🤪 Determination because the mistakes I made in my first try called for a second cross which was a success😀😀😀 but I failed to take a photo of it before I gave it again to another friend. 

 Thank you, Kara, for sharing your pattern! 


Well, I believe it would be very timely for me to post this now in time for Easter with these verses:

 “...and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.”
- 1 Peter 2:24

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
- Isaiah 53:5

Praises to God because He who was nailed on the cross has risen from the grave. Praises to God because our Saviour is alive, seated at the right hand of God the Father and in heaven glorified! 

A blessed celebration of Easter Sunday to you all!

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is... Ingredients: 2 tbsps reserved oil from bottled sardines 2 tbsps olive oil 1 tbsp minced garlic 1/4 cup diced tomato 1 cup flaked Spanish sardines 1/3 cup Pesto sauce 1/4 cup pitted black olives 1/4 cup button mushrooms 1/2 kilo pasta noodles, cooked according to package instructions salt and pepper to taste Whole pieces of Spanish sardines (1 piece as topping per serving) Parsley for garnish   Steps: In a large saute pan, heat oil from sardines.

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
