Review: Huawei E5331 Mobile Wifi



One thing I simply can't live without - the internet! You too I assume? hehe. Well unlucky for us who live in the the Philippines, internet is very slow when you have to be on the go! I'm a globe postpaid subscriber and I just usually use my data plan, but it sucks! It's almost like dial up! And my phone gets super hot when I use it as a hotspot. Booo!

Here's the good thing though! :D One of the many things my boyfriend gave me recently, is a mobile wifi. Particularly, the Huawei E5331.

DIY: Homemade Buttermilk

I have taken up baking recently, and since I'm such a noob at everything cooking related, I do not know which places are the best to look for some ingredients used in baking. Just a few weeks ago, I made some red velvet cupcakes, and I've bought everything except for BUTTERMILK! I searched 3 different grocery stores, went back and forth the milk aisle, dairy, etc… and hey.. no buttermilk! So I looked it up, I was wondering if maybe I can omit that certain ingredient. But hey, no. That's because buttermilk is one of the key ingredients that make your cake moist. I decided to look for an alternative, and here it is - Make your own buttermilk. :D Yayy! It's super easy actually, and the things you need for this is pretty much already available in your kitchen.

What you need:
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of distilled white vinegar

How to:
Pour the white vinegar on the milk and stir. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes. And ta-daaaa! It's ready to use. :)
