Mommy Moments - Mommy's Hobby

Husband was wondering why I haven't blogged about my new toy. Simple, busyness ang lola for weeks now :( 
Here it is, my new toy! :) An Electrolux gas range with oven, the one I've been eyeing to buy for months now. 
What's even winner about this is that I got it through an auction. I joined a sealed bidding for slightly used appliances and other kitchen gadgets from a cooking show and won. I got this baby for less than half the original price. Winner talaga! (got a sizzler and chopping board, too, from the auction)


My first ever baked dish using my oven - Lasagna made with ground beef and pork, bechamel sauce and mozarella cheese. Topped with fresh basil leaves from our garden. Yum!

Cooking/baking is a hobby I am most passionate about. I love to experiment new recipes, follow recipes from a cookbook and give it a personal touch. Cooking also helps me loosen up those tightened nerves after a stressful week at work. You'll know when I'm stressed, I cook and bake and cook and make everyone at home fat haha! :)

I'd love to make cooking as my hobby but cooking has yet to love me. By the way, I'd like that auction. Do they hold auctions regularly?

Thanks everyone!

@Lynn - this is the first I've joined so far. In the past, I remember the company auctioning old vehicles used for shoots.

@gmirage - recently I learned that garden herbs and veggies should be picked regularly. this way, they will grow more:)
