1st year Blogaversary


I can't believe that "What the Heck" has been part of my life for a year now. I never thought I would last this long, but I'm happy i did. Thanks to all my numerous friends who have been fans of my blog, who continuously give their encouragement & who never fail to visit my site on a daily basis (you guys know who you are). And to all the no-namers who by some twist of fate stumble upon my site, thanks for dropping by.

Yummy Pan Chicken!


It's been awhile since I've had the to-die-for Pan Chicken at Pancake House, so I couldn't resist making a stop at their Metrowalk outlet when I saw it today. As I skimmed through their menu, I was surprised to see lots of new healthy salad meals that they were now offering. Sad to say I am off my South Beach Diet so my only goal for the day was to get my hands on some of their mouth watering fried chicken. I finally decided on the Mix & Match Meal 2 which gave me a serving of spaghetti w/ bread, one of their equally yummy tacos, a piece of Pan Chicken and a glass of Iced tea. It was truly a very satisfying meal!!!

Bravo Amici

On a recent night out we discovered a wonderful treasure at Don Bosco (we actually attended a wake at the church there), the place was callled Amicci. This cafeteria style restaurant was run by the priests of Don Bosco and here you can find wonderful authentic Italian food at very very reasonable prices. Service was super fast, with freshly baked pizza being served in less than 10 mins., The pasta dishes we ordered all came out piping hot & perfectly al dente. The capuccino was a steal at 35p a cup. I'm planning to go back real soon.
One of the best Alio Oglio's that I have ever tasted. It was so good that I couldn't resist ordering one to go.





This was the beautiful sight that our eyes feasted on before we devoured all this lovely Italian Food!




We had to make sure to leave enough space for dessert. At 35p for one big scoop of this creamy Italian gelato, it is the ultimate bargain. The pistachio gelato that I chose was super yummy!

Veggie Post 2

My babies are really thriving in their new home, they must've grown half an inch since yesterday when I transplanted them from the cramped seedling trays they were in. It's apparent that they were just bursting to come out.

Project Veggie

Here are the first images of my "babies", the lettuce Lollo Rossa. It's only been a little over a month since I started this new project of mine, so after a few failed attempts & mishaps, I think I am finally beginning to understand the basic concept of planting using the hydroponics method. I am crossing my fingers that my babies will grow to their full potential and will end up looking like the image below. Please wish me luck.
