25 yeah but, no but!
Like what I have planned, I cooked for my friends, last Saturday - Yes it was my birthday. Nothing fancy! Just a typical ihaw-ihaw… I was tired really, but I was happy too see them all and spend time with them last Saturday! *Tangina ang plastic ko talaga! Parang Orocan-can ang plastic na walastic hehehe…*
I started preparing around 4ish [Namalengke pa po ako!] It took me like an hour to take off this freakin’ oysters from it’s shell!
[I like ceviche! Maarte kasi ako! Pwede namang kilawin lang, ceviche pa bwahahaha!!!] These oysters are like gold kasi it really took my time noh! Tangina sa pwet pala tinitira yon - Excuse my Fraincais! But Young does not know that, not until last Saturday when I called my friend Gil and asked him - *Pare paano ba magbukas ng talaba? Bukasan mo sa pwet - he said! Ah ganun ba? Bwhehehe* Eh asan ba ang pwet dito????????????? Yong may hinge sabi nya! Ahhh okay *Sabay kamot ng ulo.* After that syet it was like A-B-C! GrrrrRrrrrr!
Mango Salad
Since the weather is soooo nice and I kind of feel it’s summer already, I decided to make mango salad.
This salad is inspired of the Thai mango salad. Cause both salads have shredded mango and thinly sliced shallots. (I was really craving for that Thai mango salad that I had when I was in Bangkok years ago.) And whenever I am in a Thai restaurant I still ask for the mango salad - too bad, nobody makes it around here.
My version wasn’t that good compared to the one that I had back then. I know that they even put crablets in it, and where the hell am I going to find that? Instead I replaced it with Bagoong [anchovies].
Bibingka and Puto Bumbong
Last New Year’s eve we was on the “A-list invite” held at Robert’s mansion [It was potluck] and I decided to bring puto bumbong and bibingka I figured out that no one’s bringing any dessert aside from America’s Top Monay good ol’ cake ng ina nya.
Pramis nag-ala Martha Stewart/Julia Childs ako heheheh… We was a little late dahil nag-kayod pa ako ng niyog at kung ano ano pa *echos*
Here’s the uncooked bibingka and puto bumbongbong topped with cheese [Velveeta] and salted egg this is before I baked em’
Here’s the mix for the puto bumbong…
Roll each of em’ them like this… *Dapat pare-parehog sukat! Laki at taba.* para walang tampuhan lols. Then you can put them in a saucepan with water o diba parang palitaw!
Here’s the cooked version *O diba, parang talagang Julia Child… Kakapasok pa lang sa oven - paglabas luto na? Hahahaha ibang klaseng powers no?*
Double Choclit
I may not be a winner in some Las Vegas, Atlantic City Casinos, Alameda Casinos, Reno Casinos, Indian Casinos in So Cal isama na din natin ang Casino Filipino sa Tagaytay at sa Menila hehehe… *Di man din ako WINNER sa pinagdadaan ko ngayon sa buhay ko, because of some people giving me a hard hard hard hard on? EKKKKKKKKKKK time lang and chorvaloo!*
[Thank gawd, I am not a gun owner lols. But instead hehehe ipinagpasa demonyo ko na lang sya bwehehehe...] I am sure Karma’s just one step away from this persons back door apartment… Bwahahah back door?… Hanep, cause there’s no front door kaya, just at the back! Ekkkk full of? Nutella? Ikkkk ikkkkk ikkkk sosyal Nutella pa lols… (EXCUSE ME!!!~~~ Lily’s it is in my humble opinion.
But this waffle and hot choclit sure is a winner!!! *I love eating chocolates in times of stress at kung ano-ano pang anik de chorvalais* After indulging I did sure feel great, just like wonder woman with her magic lasso.
So if you are feeling anxious? stressed? mad? want to kill somebody? Ekkk no dont kill - JUST EAT Choclit! It’s worth it!
It’s not digiorno!
I may be in love with pizza but I am not one of the four wise-cracking pizza-obsessed mutant ninja turtles who fight the forces of evil from their sewer hideout noh! [Hehehe...] *Nalabas ng tunay ang pagka-bata ko footah!*
As I could remember, I am already into cooking as young as 11 years old. O diba! [Pucha I had my first drink Chivas Regal when I was 5 kaya bwahaha. That is for reals patak-patak lang naman?] So yeah, I helped my motherfather in the kitchen at a very young age… Bayo-bayo ganun kayod-kayod (I hated it when we have Ube and Coconut noh! Masakit kaya sa kamay yon! Nakakangalay sa kili-kili riliiii.) Gisa-gisa *Sa sariling mantika? Lols!!!*
I remember I did my first pizza when I was 11 years old. My parents would buy a crust from the grocery and they would let me do my own pizza as in, I loved it!
Just simple…
Put tomato paste in the crust then all the toppings you could imagine! I liked mine with alot of fresh green peppers and onions and olives… Ohhh and cheese [Mozzarella!] *Melts in my mouth everrrrrr EVER!*
Puto bumbong at mainit na stokolate
Yesterday afternoon we was in the Filipino store [Bought Alfonso tablea and the ingredients for the puto bumbong.] and even saw nakita namin sila RezeenTot at si Miss Pink Biik o diva!
Pramis sumakit ang mga kamay at kili-kili ko kakakayod noong Ube at niyog arggggggggggggggg…
Buffalo wings ala Hooters!
Since it’s football season, wings are definitely a hit!!!
Earlier I decided to cook wings for my brunch, actually I was supposed to cook inalog (my bff thought me how to cook inalog.) but since it’s football season, so I decided to go for buffalo wings.
Deep-fry about 8 - 10 pieces of wings at a time, in 375 degree for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice. ( I prefer my oil to be extra virgin olive oil.)
Once frying is done. Drain the chicken on a wire cooling rack for a minute, then immediately toss fried chicken in buffalo sauce mixture and remove with a slotted spoon.
I prefer cholula hot sauce with butter for my buffalo sauce. [Melt butter in saucepan, once melted pour the hot sauce.]
I eat with my emotions?
Isn’t it obvious yet? Hehehe… But at least after eating this massive food I was running like a dog and working out so hard at the gym no. (At least I am doing something!!!) Hindi nakahilata lang. [Hindi naman ako ganun ka batugan lols.]
I have read somewhere that If you eat in response to your feelings, especially when you are not hungry, you are an emotional eater. Ekkkkkkkkkkkkk… So I think I am an emotional eater then. Cause even if I am not hungry I eat, I dunno but I love munching anything even - for a fact that I just ate a meal. (My emotions are more hungry than my body?)
A taste of Ilocos: Vigan Longganisa
Thanks to my friend Marian P. (P for huwat? Palad? Bwahaha) for these Vigan Longganisa from her town Vigan. This is the best longganisa I ever tasted! *It is somewhat crunchy? Baket? In fairview it is really worthy for multiple orgasm lol!*
Of course the green beans and the freshly chopped tomatoes are just props noh! *Kunwari health conscious pa din ako, after kong kainin ng sunod-sunod na araw at talagang i-clog ang arteries ko dine sa longganissang ito.* For days now, yes I had longganisa breath lol due to my burp. [Can someone tell me, why your burp smells like longganisa after eating it, even after 24/48 long hours already?]
Linguine with creamy white sauce
3 tablespoons butter
4 cups milk
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper
Melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook a minute. Slowly add milk, whisking vigorously. Simmer for 5 minutes or until thick and smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature, with buttered paper over top to prevent a skin from forming.
