Raketeer On the Rise

Last August, a friend and I started a Polvoron venture -- I sell the polvs, as we hypocoristically call it, mostly in the office I'm working at (I have a day job) and to relatives for the dirt cheap price of Php 2.00/each only! Dirt cheap, right?!

And now we are ready for more! I have always wanted to do this raket to fill in the void in this part of the country. But it wasn't feasible.. not yet: friend's family once owned a *hint!* pastries business but their panaderya-level ovens are now too scary to turn on and as for me, our lowly oven is somewhere in our dirty kitchen sitting to rust.

Enter friend's cousin who has interest in *hint, hint!* baking. So during the Peñafrancia Fiesta long weekend, there was a bake-off-like scene in friend's cousin's house, and boy, tastings commenced, my sweet taste buds and throat were already screaming "Stop this abuse!" Hehe.

Commence baby steps!

P.S. Happy October to y'all!
