About
I’m a forty-something late bloomer who found her way from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and now Colorado and back to the Philippines – through sheer dumb luck. My husband and I run a home-based business (www.satviz.com). I love traveling and I love food, but not as much as I love the life I have with my husband. Few people can sincerely say they are truly blessed, I’m one of them.
This blog is not meant to be another of those rants raves and opinions blog. I intend to have one of those too, but it’s a New Year and I want to maintain my holiday cheer. The Unofficial Cook is meant to be a showcase/self-incriminating record of my daily regular forays into the wifely domain known as the bedroom kitchen.
Okay, let’s get one thing straight – I’m not as bad a cook as I make it sound – honestly. I mean, ask my husband, he’ll tell you. (note from da spouse … my waistline will tell you .. Mita is a fantastic cook, cupcake maker and my soulmate and best friend)
I’m no gourmet nor do I have the funds to support a gourmet food blog – but I’ll be honest. You’ll see the disasters as well as the triumphs. That I promise.
