Last Sunday, I went to SM Hypermarket and bought some ingredients for pancit canton. Since I hired a helper who is very eager in the kitchen, I was not able to cook much for my family. I really miss cooking so I made it a point to cook for lunch ; )

737 Araneta Ave. cor. Agno St.,

Tatalo, Quezon City

Last Saturday, I was invited to Lock & Lock's Blogger Day. I know that it will have a cooking demo as part of its program but what I didn't know is that it's another shopping event! Remember, I have told you about Yves Rocher shopping event two weeks ago, right? If you have not read about it, shame on you, please visit here. That, my dear readers, served as my warm up because during Lock & Lock's event, I totally rocked it ; p I got everything I needed plus more!

I am a loyal user of Lock & Lock. When the brand came out with Boroseal Microwavable Glass container a few years ago, I was one of the many others who trooped to its stand alone store in Shangri-la Mall and bought several containers to be used as our office baonan (lunch box). Really, it is a no brainer to switch from plastic into glass. I even changed our food cover, you can view it here.

DIY fries bought in the office 

Since I am fond of fries right now, I cook my own, ok, I taught my house help how to slice and deep fry potatoes. I was not able to get the desired crispiness though. My fries looked a bit soggy even though I tissue off the grease. It didn't help even if I put it inside the oven toaster  for 10 minutes when I got to the office. 

I wonder how many minutes would it take for the fries to cook and at what temperature? Can anybody help?
