Mixed Salad with Honey Dill Mustard Dressing
We had a new instructor for Day 3 of our Basic Skills class, Chef Lawrence Zafra, sous chef of Cafe Ysabel. He began the class by giving us some reminders and important stuff we must do and know when inside the kitchen and when handling a knife.

Sans Rival
Day 2 of our classes was more interesting and exciting. A few of us can already cook, a handful already knows how to bake. But none of us has certainly made ice cream. And it was ice cream day in class. YUM! We were supposed to make meringues and ice cream.
Our group was assigned to make:
When I was a kid, Daddy would always travel to Manila (from Davao) for business trips. Some trips would be as short as 1 day, some would last a week. But everytime he’d go home, he would bring pasalubong. Most of those trips, he would bring home a Goldilocks Roll. Sometimes there would be a box of Polvoron or packs of Popcorn. You see, there aren’t any Goldilocks branches here in Davao. Not until a few years ago.
Even just looking at a Goldilocks’ display case brings me to those days when we’d wait for Daddy to arrive at the gate, lugging around his suitcase, and a Goldilocks bag. We’d never know what he’d bring, but there’d always be some Goldilocks. Sometimes it would be a Chocolate Roll, other times, Ube. I’m sure there were other flavors, but these two are the ones I distinctly remember.
