Roscas (Filipino Cuisine)
In Philippine cuisine, ''roscas'' or ''biscocho de roscas'' refers to a pastry cookie product from the province of Leyte, mainly from the towns of Barugo and Carigara, made from lard, anise, flour, sugar, butter and eggs. Roscas are initially shaped as crescents or penannular rings (hence the name—''roscas'' is Spanish for "rings"). Each of the roscas is then cut in half before baking, resulting in two separate elbow-shaped cookies. While some claim that this pasalubong pastry cookie traces its history to the Spanish era, others have indicated that roscas-making in Leyte was started in the town of Barugo by a returning migrant in the late 1960s whose success was replicated in the nearby town of Carigara and the far town of Calbayog in Samar province. What original dish the roscas derive from remains unspecified, however. See also * Half-moon cookie * Biscocho * Rosquillo * List of Philippine desserts This is a list of Filipino desserts.

Pan De Regla
''Pan de regla'', also known as ''kalihim'', is a Filipino bread with a characteristically bright red, magenta, or pink bread pudding filling made from the torn pieces of stale bread mixed with milk, sugar, eggs, butter, and vanilla. It is known by a wide variety of local names, most of which are humorous. It is a common cheap bread sold in bakeries in the Philippines. It is usually eaten for ''merienda''. Names Most of the names of the bread are deliberately humorous and vulgar. Its most common name, ''pan de regla'', translates to "menstrual bread" due to its color and appearance. This is also referenced in other local names like ''alembong'' ("flirty"), ''bellas'' ("beautiful omen), ''ligaya'' ("happiness"), and ''pan de borikat'' ("prostitute's bread"). Its second most common name, ''kalihim'' ("secret"), is because the secret of the bread is that its filling is actually made from the previous day's unsold bread.

Bow Tie
The bow tie is a type of necktie. A modern bow tie is tied using a common shoelace knot, which is also called the bow knot for that reason. It consists of a ribbon of fabric tied around the collar of a shirt in a symmetrical manner so that the two opposite ends form loops. There are generally three types of bow ties: the pre-tied, the clip-on, and the self-tie. Pre-tied bow ties are ties in which the distinctive bow is sewn onto a band that goes around the neck and clips to secure. Some "clip-ons" dispense with the band altogether, instead clipping straight to the collar. The traditional bow tie, consisting of a strip of cloth that the wearer has to tie by hand, is also known as a "self-tie", "tie-it-yourself", or "freestyle" bow tie. Bow ties may be made of any fabric material, but most are made from silk, polyester, cotton, or a mixture of fabrics. Some fabrics (e.g., wool or velvet) are much less common for bow ties than for ordinary four-in-hand neckties. Origin and hist ...
