IMBB 11 - Clay Pot Pork & Beans
I have been a long time fan of the Is My Blog Burning events originally conceived by Alberto, but have never participated since I am never organized enough to plan for the submission date. Today, at the prodding of Karen, I decided to make an entry. I just hope it makes it on time, as [...]

IMBB 11 - Sinigang na Pata
With the cold weather, it seems that a lot of food blogs (Baby Rambutan made Pho, Sassy made chicken soup, for example) have been cooking lots of soups. I actually was looking for ox tails like what chef Celia had, but couldn’t find any. I did find fresh ham hocks, so I decided to make [...]

Chicken in Lettuce Cups
With the cold weather and holidays, we have been indulging in fairly heavy and (fat) rich meals, so we decided to have a light dinner last week and decided to have diced chicken wrapped in lettuce. The problem was, I was out of hoisin sauce. So, we improvised a bit this time, and made our [...]

2 tomatoes, chopped

Green Beans & Tomato Salad
To counteract the richness of the roast pork, we decided to have this salad with it. It’s really quite simple. My lola used to make this all the time, she still does, but she uses calamansi & bagoong dressing which I prefer, but could not get my little Clone to eat, so I had to [...]

Roast Pork
WooHoo! The computer hogs go back to school tomorrow, and are already in bed. I know they are not asleep yet though. Their schedule is all messed up. They have been staying awake until past midnight everynight during their holiday break. I don’t envy them tomorrow when they have to get up at 6 to [...]
