squid flakes



















squid used to be a favorite - especially my mother's adobong pusit!
but i developed an allergy to it.
i feel dizzy and lightheaded every time i eat even a small bite of it.
sometimes, i even throw up!

good thing i discovered squid flakes when i went to cebu before.
it is crunchy with a hint of sweetness. yummy!
the only squid that i can eat that doesn't make me feel nauseous.

let's go fishing





















































when she saw kuya's bed she went "mami, let's go fishing!" oh, we can do that baby. so, mami looked for a blue grocery bag, and some materials for our fishing trip (stick, magnet, string, papers, paper clips, pen, scissor). we're gonna make this an educational fishing trip. i made sure i drew different sizes in different colors with letters on one side. when everything's ready, she started fishing for a big fish, small fish, yellow fish, red fish, A fish, C fish, etc. she had loads of fun!

polvoron



















i always make it a point to have polvoron in the house. it's the kids' and dad's favorite. most of the time, i don't wrap it. i just put it in a container inside the fridge. when a craving for something sweet attacks, just grab one or two from the container.

but when i have the time...


















you know, to please the kiddos!

binitad na biya














The husband went to Tanauan, Batangas and brought home this dried fish. Quite expensive but worth it. Delicious. I'd say it is comparable to danggit. I think even better than danggit.

chicken pandan




















Delicious dish inspired by the recipe I saw over at bahay-bahayan. My search is over for the best chicken pandan recipe. Thanks Rico for sharing. Though I was not able to use cilantro, and was not able to marinate it overnight, it still tasted goooood! Instead of wansuy, I used chopped ginger, and added pandan to the marinade and used it, with some water, to steam the chicken. My angel went to the corner store, several houses away from us, to buy something, and heard someone said "ang bango naman ng niluluto". :D Winner!

For the sauce, because i'm not fond of "maaanghang" I combined sugar, water, patis and seasoning. Great combination too, I tell you.

Tip: I had a hard time wrapping each piece, until finally, with 2 pieces left, I figured how to wrap it - wrap a piece of chicken in 2 pieces of inter-locking pandan leaves. If this fails, you can always use the handy toothpick to secure the leaves :D

My first time to do this. Turned out surprisingly good with the grated cheese on top instead of the usual coco.
