Shopping Cart Software
Businesses that are involved in the selling of products have a better chance of thriving in what has become a cut-throat industry if they have online presence. E-commerce has revolutionized the world of business and having an on-line store will definitely be a plus. Ashop Commerce can provide a very important tool that can very well help businesses set up an online store and manage it with ease, that is, their shopping cart software.
Not everyone is an internet expert, which is why the world wide web can be intimidating to some, preventing them from selling on-line. Ashop Commerce has taken care of that. Their shopping cart software needs no installation and is hosted. In fact, all that the merchant needs is an internet connection and the business can be overseen and controlled no matter where he is in the world.
The E-commerce software of Ashop Commerce is fully customizeable, and most importantly, secure. The shopping carts can be managed easily and tech-support is available 24-7. This might sound just all too good to be true. But if you’re seriously considering opening an on-line store, give Ashop Commerce’s 10-day free trial a try. That will allow you to test the water.

Chicken Curry
One of my favorite dishes is chicken curry. So it was bound to find it’s way to our dining table. I believe I’ve only cooked it thrice and there was a very long gap between the first and the second attempt.
My first attempt goes way back last year and the second, just a month or two ago. The third, just a mere 2 or weeks after the second. I know that this is such a simple dish to make but the first time I tried cooking it, I was still very intimidated by the kitchen and cooking itself. I was very recipe dependent and hated the words “season to taste”. Hee hee. You know where this is going, I’m going to blame the recipe for the failure of my first try. :P I followed it to the letter even if I felt uncomfortable putting 3 tablespoons of curry powder into the pot where the chicken pieces were waiting for this all important ingredient. The end result was a dish screaming CURRY…too much CURRY. So unlike my grandmother’s! I guess that experience kinda burnt me. Hee hee.
Getting tired of our usual chicken dishes, I finally decided to give it a try, this time, trusting my judgement more. I reduced the amount of curry powder to about a teaspoon or so. The end result was well received by hubby and Abby. 
This was my 2nd try at chicken curry. I didn’t have any bell peppers when I decided to give this dish a second try, thus, the lack of color.
This was my third and latest try. I made sure I had the red bell peppers at least! But I still lacked some of the ingredients, like the celery and green bell peppers. Hee hee! While the second version tasted good, this one was even better, maybe due to the addition of the bell peppers. I could only hope that the next time I cook this dish will be the best tasting of all. *cross fingers*
Here’s the complete recipe, which I snagged from HERE.
Ingredients :
· 2-3 tbsp. oil
· 3 potatoes, peeled, quartered and fried
· 1 lb. chicken, cut into serving pieces
· 3 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 large onion, quartered
· 1 tbsp. patis (fish sauce)
· 3 tbsp. curry powder (DO WATCH THE CURRY POWDER, PLS. I’D SAY PUT A LITTLE AT A TIME AND SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT.)
· salt and pepper
· 1 cup water
· 1 red bell pepper, cut into big squares
· 1 green bell pepper, cut into big squares
· 3 celery stalks, cut into 1-1/2” long
· 1 cup coconut milk or evaporated milk
Cooking Procedures :
1. Pan fry potatoes. Set aside.
2. In the same pan, fry chicken pieces and brown a little.
3. Add garlic and onion. Sauté for a few minutes until soft.
4. Pour in patis and season with curry powder, salt and pepper. Stir for 2 minutes.
5. Add water. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat; add celery, bell peppers and fried potatoes. Simmer for 3 minutes or until half done.
6. Add milk and stir occasionally. Cook for another 7 minutes (or lesser when using evaporated milk because the liquids will curled).
7. Remove from heat. Serve hot.

Super Bawang (Garlic)
One of my favorite all time “fun” (as opposed to “junk”) snack back home is one that is called “Boy Bawang”…a corn bits snack in garlic (bawang) flavor. When we went to the Asian supermarket one time, I just had a sudden craving for it. However, they only carried the “hot” ones. I had to settle for the next best thing this side of the world…Super Bawang!
Here is Abby digging into what is supposed to be MY snack. Hee hee! But how can I resist such a beautiful smile? Instead of ME sharing it with her, Abby had to share it with me instead. 
Funny how something so small could be so comforting at the same time…and I’m referring to the corn bit Abby is holding. Hee hee! 
I believe it was my SIL, Claire, who got me so hooked on this snack.
Look at that! *sigh* Anybody from home coming to visit us soon? Hee hee! This would make for really nice pasalubong.

Gift Idea for Mother’s Day
Have you thought about what to give to your favorite Moms, (specially your own, your wife, grandama and daughters!) on Mother’s Day? It’s two weeks before THE day and I too, have yet to make a decision on a specific gift to give. But I am seriously considering Photo Cards. We sent everyone photo cards last Christmas and it was a certified hit. And besides, photo cards are much more personal than your ordinary greeting cards.
Come to think of it, Photo Cards , are actually very versatile. A person doesn’t need to wait for the next holiday, event or occassion to send one. It’s a pretty cool and impressive way to simply say hi, get well, that you’re thinking of that someone special, that you like someone and to say sorry, too!. And the sender has full control of what goes on the front and inside the card…from the photos to the verses. I’m sure we all have a favorite photo of our children, pets, even ourselves, that we’re proud of and are just too willing to show off. ;) The possibilities and options are just endless…color, black and white, sepia.
Businesses, too, can make use of photo cards as a special marketing tool and for general use. They can use their logo, a photo of the company’s staff or their products.
Photo Cards might just do the trick for me come Mother’s Day.
