Brandz and Brenz Half Nakey!

With permission from my hubby, here are some photos of the father and son. Brenzie is now six months old.

Trixie at Wilcon

We went to Wilcon this morning to check on some home fixtures. We were on our way to the counter already when we saw Trix doing some "measuring" of her own. So glad to have captured the moment.

Steamed Dory Fillet in Soy Mirin Sauce

Description:
I recently bought some dory fillets and thought of steaming it instead of serving the usual fried fish fillets. I was a bit hesitant because I usually steam whole fish instead of fillets, but the dory was so flavorful that Brandon said it's as good as lapu-lapu. This is a breeze to make and oh so healthy.

Ingredients:
2 pcs. dory fillets
1 thumb-size ginger, cut into strips
1 3-inch onion leek, cut into strips
1/8 cup Kikkoman soy sauce
2 Tbsps. Mirin
Wansuy as garnish

Directions:
Boil water in the steamer.
Place fillets in a shallow glass dish, then put the ginger and onion leeks.
Mix together soy sauce and mirin, then pour over fish.
Steam for about 15 minutes or until done, but be careful not to overcook. (To make sure the fillets are ready, pierce a fork through the thickest part of the fish; fork should pierce through.)
Remove from steamer and top with wansuy.
Serve right away.

Just like Dora (the Explorer)

Trixie had her first ever salon haircut at Piandre yesterday morning. She was such a little lady--- very prim and proper! I'm so proud of her. After the haircut, she told me she wanted to go back when her hair becomes long again. When we got home, Brandon's first reaction to her haircut was, "Wow, you look like Dora!"
