AMW Cooks: Potato Fritters with Corn Bits

When I told my husband about my favorite "snack" back in the suburbs of China when I used to teach there (in Lin'an Hangzhou City), I can't seem to explain it to him well and he can't seem to understand what I was trying to say.

So after thinking the recipe in my brain for years, I've finally mustered the courage to give it a try and you know what?  It was a success!  My husband and son loves it so much and I hope YOU and your family will too!  

I coined this dish Potato Fritters with Corn Bits because the mixture of potato and corn was actually just my "McGyver" moment.  In China, they serve this in HUGE size (for sharing), the size is as big as your plate and you need to use your hands to tear off your portion.  You can choose between potato or corn!   Since I don't want my husband to choose, I mixed both ingredients together and it worked just as good!  This can be served together with you favorite breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner!

I apologize if I do not have step-by-step photos on this dish!  This is a bit messy to work with so I can't grab my camera or phone in between!  I'll try to explain it as clearly as I can for you to get the picture!

Ingredients:

Olay Total Effects Available at SampleRoom!

When Sample Room have new samples available in their website, I can't help but have this tiny butterflies inside my stomach!  Yes, I receive a lot of press samples every now and then but seriously, knowing consumers can really "try before they buy" is a totally different story!  I am really a proud Sample Room Partner because of that! 

Recently, they launched Olay Total Effects products on their site!  Here is one thing I have to say about trying out products!  I mentioned this to my co-Beauty Blogger friends in the past and I still stand by to my decision --- Olay Total Effects Day Cream does not work for me 10 years ago so I am not giving this a try!  Funny thing though was that same 10 years ago, I purchased Olay Facial Masks from Hong Kong and they worked like magic on me!  It must be the age, the weather, etc!!!  BUT, keep in mind that if a certain product does not work for me doesn't mean it will be the same for you!  Like I said in my past posts, skincare is indeed very personal!  You have to try out samples or take a plunge before you know which brand works for you or not!

Upon receiving my samples, I immediately thought of my sister!  (Yes, I have an older sister who looks like my age! -- love you sis!)  I may be forgetful but I totally recalled our old text message about how she loved Olay Total Effects because it works for her!  She actually purchased and repurchased this a couple of times so I'm definitely going to be a Santa Clause and share these goodies to her!

How to Achieve Winged Liner Perfection with Maybelline HyperSharp Wing and Liner

When I first received the #EyeLoveMNY package, I got super happy with the press packaging and the Maybelline Eye & Lip Make Up Remover (one of th first eye make up remover I tried and blogged about)

Then, I looked into the 2 HyperSharp liners and I scratched my head.

Tony Moly Mini Cherry Tomato Lip Balm Review

Come on seriously, can we just stop what we're doing and together say: "Aawww..how cute!!!" ?

Upon seeing the Tony Moly Mini Cherry Tomato Lip Balm, I went really excited and showed it to my son right away!  Which, by the way, is in the "fruits naming" stage so he went "Apple"!  I didn't correct him though because at first glance, it does look like a mini apple!  (So overall, fault ko din talaga! Palpak mommy! hahaha)

But yes, even without testing the product quality, the packaging won me BIG TIME!  I can hail this the cutest, most unique Lip Balm Packaging ever and I am challenging Mr. AMW to bring this with him to work (yes, he's a lip balm user) because I want his male colleagues to go: "Awww, ang cute!!" too!  #hahaha

After more than a week and I'm finally OVER with the cuteness stage (well, not really, still staring at it in front of my computer table!), trying to be unbiased and set aside all the cuteness overload, I am finally ready to share my thoughts on what's inside!

Grab These from Sampleroom: Safeguard Derma Sense

If there is ONE person I know who should be an ambassador of Safeguard soaps, that's my husband Mr. AMW!  He has been a Safeguard soap user for as long as I can remember!  Every time we go to a grocery or supermarket, he grabs packs of Safeguard bar soaps and whenever I smell that particular scent, it literally reminds me of him!  (Yup, not perfume, but Safeguard soap!)

Since I've been trying out and using various body washes and soaps, there are days I just want a regular germ-fighting soap to strip off those piles after piles of ingredients.  With that plan comes ME grabbing Mr. AMW's Safeguard (which has it's own area inside the bathroom by the way!)  As much as I love the "stripped from all those ingredients" feeling, it leaves my skin extremely dry!  Thankfully, Safeguard (finally) came up with an everyday dermatological line called Safeguard Derma Sense with 2 variants!  

Sensitive Skin and Acne Prone Skin.  This line is literally called Mr. and Mrs. AMW Line!

As much as I love hubby, he has this "manly habit" of using soap in washing both his face and body during his lazy days even with facial washes piled in front of him!  So thankfully, the Safeguard Derma Sense line comes with a Face and Body Wash!   And during his not-so-lazy days?  He may grab the Facial Cleanser for Acne Prone Skin because yes, Mr. AMW has teenager hormones trapped in an old man's body!  (ooopss, I didn't say that! :P)
