ABC Wed R5 : the letter "Q"

Q is for
Quencher

every time i go to our local market, i always come across to this small store. it displays all kinds of drinks - from soft drinks(soda) to powdered juices.

To add more to my amazement, they even sell alcoholic beverages like brandy, gin, vodka and beer, BUT they are not displaying it like these bottles, not only because of limited space but because they don't want the kids to see those alcoholic drinks on display.

seeing this store really makes me thirsty for a bottle of cola.

Have a Great Wednesday to all of us :D

La.Pi.S. # 72 : Tomato

KBL
Kamatis, Bagoong at Lasona
Tomato, Fish Paste & Onions

The first time i heard about KBL is the abbreviation for a well known political party here in the Philippines.

But in Ilocos Region, KBL is also a well known dip. alam nyo naman ang pinoy, mahilig sa sawsawan and this is the Ilocano's favorite dip. Lasona is the Ilocano word for Onions. the Ilocos native onions are those smaller ones - about the size of cherry tomato - than the ordinary. some people call it small onions or shallots.

other peple prefer to use shrimp fry paste (bagoong alamang). they even add chili pepper too.

this is good if not the best dip for: green mangoes; grilled or fried fish or meat.

for this photo, we cant see the effect of the fish paste since its all ready at the bottom - sorry, i forgot to use a transparent bowl for this. i also added spring onions for added color and taste.

as i said last entry (LaPiS # 71 : Potato) i used this KBL to dip our daing na bangus. i tried to dip the potato fries and its good too :D

Sky Watch Friday : Season 4 - Episode 17 : @ Forest Lake en Cielo

Balloons

Balloon releasing during memorial events, for me is a sign of letting go and moving on and to fly again. and it's also a sign of we want the departed love ones to go to heaven of peace.

Have a great day of watching the skies to all of us :D

ABC Wed R5 : the letter "P"

P is for
Peanuts
Arachis hypogaea

Filipinos are fond of eating peanuts. on my recent trip in Cagayan de Oro City, they have this flavored or spiced peanuts. it comes in different flavors and spices and on this photo is my favorite of all flavors.

what i do love most on these peanuts is that, these are baked - thus its not greasy - and not too salty.

Have a Great Wednesday to all of us :D
