Magnolia's Ice Cream is named San Miguel here because some smart-ass Filipino registered the Magnolia name for his own ice cream brand here. And yes my first ice cream in this country's still Filipino-made. Don't you just love the Filipino store? That's Chips Ahoy in French, it has a different name.

I'm fond of cheese, last week it was Mozzarella.

Ah, oriental ingredients! I've already made Miso Soup out of the Miso paste and tofu we bought.

POMEGRANATE. Because back in high school I'd read history books and i'd keep wondering how they look and what they taste like, I think I even made a mental note about going to Mesopotamia and eating one.
