Food Trip # 26 : Fruity Desserts

AND

Sweets from mySweet

sunday night is family dinner night at my GF's house, and let me share to you the desserts on that feasty night.

the 1st dish is here.
the 2nd dish is here.
the 3rd dish is here.
the 4th dish is here.

three weeks ago (09 October 2009) i presented to you what we had for sunday dinner (30 August 2009) when i visited my pangga's home. if you can still recall my entry last week (23 October 2009) was my share on the spread. and for this week's entry, let me present to you the desserts made by mySweet pangga.

as i said last week, me and myGF agreed to have a share on this dinner - ill cook one dish and she will make the desserts. and here are her share which she made the night before (saturday) so that she can chill it overnight for the next day (sunday)

she and her family call this "knox" taken from the brand name of the most important ingredient - yes! the unflavored gelatin. she mixed all ingredients - fruit cocktail, cream and condensed milk - then she dissolved the unflavored gelatin and simmered it. mixed in the fruit salad and let it set on the fridge overnight. and its looks like cathedral windows when set.

she made a new batch of fruit salad but this time, without the gelatin, and let it chilled overnight.

the next day (sunday), after visiting the Divine Mercy Shrine in El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental, her parents seen a stall selling coconuts, and bought about 6 pieces. when we arrived, the first 3 became drinks (coconut juice) for our lunch and the remaining 3 went to her fruit salad thus it became buco salad instantly.

wow! that dinner is so superb! lami kaayo (so yummy)!!!

Litratong Pinoy # 81 : Amoy (smell)

Durian

ewan ko ba sa aking sarili kung bakit gustong-gusto kong inaamoy ang durian. sa tuwing pumupunta ako nang grocery, lagi kong inaamoy at nag tatagal sa pwesto nya nagbabakasakaling kumapit ang amoy n'ya sa aking damit.


in english :

"Durian"

i realy dont know why do i want to smell the Durian. every time i go to the grocery, i always smell it and stay there for a while and hoping that it will cling to my clothes.

Maligayang huweBEST sa inyo mga ka-LP

Taste my Cooking # 13: Food Trip # 25 : beef broccoli and snow peas

AND

beef broccoli and snow peas

sunday night is family dinner night at my GF's house, and let me share to you the 4th of 6 dishes on that feasty night.

the 1st dish is here.
the 2nd dish is here.
the 3rd dish is here.

me and my GF made a deal, that ill cook one dish for this occasion. i said yes w/o hesitations BUT i cant hide my nervousness. yes i do cook but its bland (less or no salt) that's why I'm so nervous they might not like my dish/cooking.

i decided to do this dish simply because its so simple. right? i added snow peas (chicharo) so that our budget will not hurt us that much. lets face it, a bunch of broccoli is a fortune even in Baguio City.

the verdict? they liked it, most specially her aunt.

Litratong Pinoy # 80 : maSINOP (organized)

ang ugnayan natin

pera'y sinupin
at di dapat waldasin
ang pinaghirapan natin
laan lamang sa bayarin


in english :

"payables"

organize all payables
so that we dont get disconnected

organize our money
and spend it wisely
hard earned money
is for payables only

ABC Wed R5 : the letter "N"

N is for
Nazareno / Nazarene

if my memory serves me right

"Nazarene" is an image of Jesus Christ who is on red robe and carries a cross on His knees. "nazarene" came from the phrase "Jesus of Nazareth". We Filipino devotees call Him "Nazareno".

one prominent image is called "black nazarene" because of its color due to its charred wood. the original color is white or the wood's natural color. but one time, it was caught fire, it became charred black.wikipedia will explain more here.

Have a Great Wednesday to all of us :D

WaterFalse 02

this is a photo of one side of the streams that flows on the hill slopes. it looks like a water fall but its no thus the title "water false".

my GF said that this side of the stream is drained or dry during summer thus you can see all the boulders, rocks and pebbles. i dont like to see a dry stream, good thing that when we came here, it rained a few days ago.

La.Pi.S # 70 : Strawberry

Pink Midnight Snack

I'm laughing to myself. just imagine, a big guy like me likes this pink midnight snack or breakfast.

its colored pink due to it strawberry flavor. a yogurt drink with strawberry juice and a strawberry flavored butter.

hmmmm ????? i hope that one day there will be a pink coffee too =)) until then, lets have some pink power.

when the LaPiS theme 1st came, i noticed that Ms.Admin used my idea to use one ingredient as a theme ingredient (ala iron chef). i was definitely amazed and happy but i became worried for this theme. strawberries are not that abundant here in the Philippines - specially now that the farms and roads are ruined due to the last storm. yes, the grocery has canned, frozen, preserved, jams, jellies and flavored ones, thus i used this as an entry.

Have a great day ka-Lasang-Pinoy :D

Litratong Pinoy # 79 : maagap (early)

di papahuli

sa totoo lang, aminin natin, ayaw natin ng "delayed flights" di ba?

kung pagbabasehan ang karanasan ko sa huling 3 flights ko sa kanila, lagi akong maagap sa pag boarding at take-off at sa huli, maagap na pag dating sa paroroonan nang halos 15 minutos. sapat na oras yan para ligawan ko ang flight crew para magpa litrato sa flight deck (cockpit). sana sa susunod na viaje ko, may litrato na ako kasama ang flight attendants ;))


in English :

"don't be late"

base on my experience on my last 3 flight with this airline, I'm always early on boarding, take-off and landing thus I'm early for about 15 minutes. that's enough time to ask the flight crew to have a photo of me in the flight deck (cockpit). i just hope that on my next flight, i can have a photo of me with the flight attendants ;))
