Street Racing

One of the things that make street racing cars (legal or otherwise) better than stock cars is the fact that these use performance parts that will enhance the car’s performance. Of course, these cars are not like the Formula One racing cars that require minutiae details not just in its design but in its engineering process.

I still vividly remember those drag races we use to go to when that mall beside Manila Bay was still being built. Adrenalin pumping to say the least. Just to hear the cars rev is enough to make one look on and watch.

For now, these street racers like that participants in Bullrun with which we await the second season should be thankful that these kinds of technologies are available to them.

For those who race in the middle of the night along a major road near where we live, I hope you know what you are doing.

On to the races, fellas! πŸ˜‰

Medium Rare Steak

I wrote my Food Friday entry today because we will be a bit busy tomorrow with school-related activities.

I had a thick slice of medium rare steak last Wednesday night during the annual Christmas party held at the manse of the owner of the intervention center where I work (part-time). We had this kind of food last year, same menu, same plate, please click here.

I chose the medium rare variety between the two types they were offering, had it smothered with a rich mushroom gravy sauce. The thick slice took over half the space of the plate! And to think that this was a big plate πŸ˜€

On my plate are buttered whole corn kernels, 2-3 T of garlic rice (can’t resist) and a little pasta carbonara.

I wanted to just put the steak on one plate and the others on a different plate but I didn’t. It would be difficult to walk back from the buffet table to our table holding two plates. Not to mention I would probably look like too hungry (which incidentally I was, lol!).

I wasn’t able to get good photos of my dinner plate because those sitting on with me on our table were giving me weird looks like I have gone insane taking photos of my food! πŸ˜€

If I have to eat dinners like this until the holidays are over, I might have to get me some Anoretix πŸ˜€

Red and Green Bell Peppers

Red and Green Bell Peppers

Red and green are the colors of Christmas. Maybe this is the reason why these bell peppers are priced sky high during the season. I’m stumped really why this is so.

I love green bell peppers, just the smell alone makes me feel wonderful, I don’t know why. That and onions together. Weird huh? Maybe because I love these on my pizza.

On the other hand, it would be nice to have area rugs with these colors to make the house more Christmas-y and festive which reminds me that I still have to change the throw pillows and use the Christmas designs πŸ™‚
