A year ago, I was very much into playing the recorder (a fipple flute) but after a couple of months at it, I stopped practicing. However, I’ve picked up practicing the recorder again just a few months ago and I’m pleased with my current progress.

However, I’ve put my learning on hold temporarily to concentrate on practicing some Christmas tunes. I hope that I would’ve already mastered the songs enough so that I can go through the tunes without making a mistake if I do play for my family over the Christmas season in the Philippines.

As it is, though, I don’t have a lot of time to practice because of the stuff I have to do when I get home from work. If I have time to spare, I might record (no pun intended) myself playing a couple of Christmas tunes and post it here.

What’s white inside but golden brown, breaded and crispy on the outside and goes well with tomato sauce? Nuggets, of course. We had some nice nuggets with last night for dinner along with some rice and tinned soup. What’s different about these nuggets though is that there is no meat in sight.

We first had our taste of Beer Tofu when we were invited for a homecooked meal by a vegetarian friend. I’ve been making it occasionally since then and had enjoyed having it each time. It’s easy, simple, cheap and delicious. Definitely a keeper!
