It’s Thursday again, so it’s time for Girl Talk. Today’s topic is Junk Food.

It’s hard deciding what is my most favorite junk food, because I enjoy eating a lot of junk foods. tsk..tsk… bad for the health.

My all time favorite junk food is French fries from KFC, Mcdonalds and other fast food restaurant. I also like criss cut fries and twister fries which are just seasonal in some fast food restaurants:

I also enjoy eating some other junk foods found in the supermarket. I like Oishii’s products like Potato ridges, Potato Chips. I love the cheese flavor. And these three are from different company but I love them also.

Ever since I had a son, I have to lessen my intake of junk foods. I want to be a good example to him. LOL.

Here’s my comfort food:

Beef noodles with egg. I tried looking for pictures in the net for this and thanks to dummyatcooking.wordpress.com this is the best that I got.

I love eating this when I was in Elementary. This serve as my breakfast when I am in a hurry. This is also a fast food for me whenever I am hungry.

When it comes to dessert,I can’t say no to this one. Just posting the picture here makes me crave for it. When I get depressed these two will be the best to cheer me up.

Introduction
Dishes by pehpot, obviously is a blog of Pehpot, the tag team of K in hosting the biggest blogversary contest and this review is an entry for that contest. And pehpot is also giving away $5 to the best reviewer of her blogs.

Design
The header fits the blog title very well, it shows a woman holding some kitchen utensils in front of the kitchen. The sidebars are very clean with archives, blogroll (wherein in you can see her other blogs) and some other elements. The categories are perfect; readers can easily choose what kind of food they want to see first.

Theme and Content
The title is perfect for the contents of the blog. The topic revolves around food. There are food recipes here so other people can try out her dishes too, food that the author and her family enjoys. She joins meme that talks about food like Food Trip Friday.

Writing Style And Grammar
Pehpot is good writer. She can give instructions very well that even non-Filipino bloggers can follow her simple steps in making a delicious dish. I even notice one of the recipes have Filipino translation for better understanding. Photos are enticing, it make my tummy cry. I’m not a proof reader and I’m not good with writing, but I did notice few typo errors but it’s not obvious.

Some Trivia
The footer also contains some images of pots and pans, veggies and fruits a few meat. Pehpot is more of a veggie eater though as she said she is not a vegetarian.

Recommendation
On a one to ten scale, 10 as the highest, I would rate Dishes by Pehpot, as 9. I wanted to rate it 10, but I’ve always believe that there is always a room for improvement. It’s great the Pehpot created this site and it’s perfect for people who love eating, who loves cooking, and who’s trying to cook and trying to impress their love one with a wonderful dish.

This Morning when I arrived here in the office, the Department heads were eating Chowking meals. They gave me this Chicharap to munch on. Hahaha, but when I opened it, the contents is chicken. ^_^

I just pasted it. I am not really sure who the original author is, but thanks to him

LEFT OVER ONIONS IS POISONOUS

I  have used an onion which has been left in the fridge, and sometimes I
don’t use a whole one at one time, so save the other half for later.

Now with this info, I have changed my mind….will buy smaller onions in
the future.

I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of
mayonnaise.  Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in
the Mullins family.  My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.

Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.
The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He’s one of the brothers Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula. He’s even developed sauce formula for McDonald’s.

Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed’s answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially- made Mayo is completely safe..

“It doesn’t even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it’s not really necessary.” He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the quaint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad
sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the ‘victim’ last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it’s not the mayonnaise (as long as it’s not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It’s
probably the onions, and if not the onions, it’s the POTATOES.

He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion. He says it’s not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.
It’s already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit,
that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!)

Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you’ll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you’re asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

So, how’s that for news? Take it for what you will. I (the author) am going to be very careful about my onions from now on. For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a company that produces millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.’

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions .Please remember it is dangerous to cut onions and try to use it to cook the next day ,it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates Toxic bacteria which may cause Adverse Stomach infections because of excess Bile secretions and even Food poisoning.

September 10 was the grand opening of Wham Burger restaurant located at Lower ground floor of SM Megamall bldg B. My husband told me that he and his workmates are going to eat there. I got really envious because I haven’t tasted wham’s burger. ^_^ So he just said he will buy after work. I was so excited. But I have to wait for him since his work is until 7 pm…

I wanted to order Whammy burger with cheese but my hubby keep on insisting that I order for Double whammy with cheese. I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish this but I gave in. Double whamy with cheese is 2 – 1/3 pound all beef patty with ketchup, mustard, lettuse and tomato. itis chargrilled. When I tasted it…. hmmhh.. delicious. I wasn’t able to finish it so I gave it to hubby. I know that he insisted on the double so I will share some to him ^_^.
