Stretching Viand

Small portions of viand can be stretched to finish with a plateful of rice if they're generously seasoned (but not so much that they're inedible).

Take this plate, for instance. The corned beef was extra crunchy and the one-egg scramble was a bit salty. Portions were disproportionate to how much rice I had but all was cleaned off without my asking for an extra serving of corned beef.

And yes, I'm being serious.



Nyahahaha!

Cold, Windy, Audacity, Congee

Lovely weather now. It's cold - not too cold that I have to bundle up - it's nice. It's windy outside too. Mosquitoes in my room are not afraid. It used to be that when you wave a hand over one that's "dining" on you, it would fly away. Now, when I feel an itch on my leg and put a hand over it ever so calmly, I squash the bug. Gross. Here was my dinner yesterday, chicken congee or arroz caldo . Suitable dish during cold weather 'cause it's filling and the spiciness from the ginger hits the spot.

December in food pics 2023

  Chicken Nuggets (Purefoods Chicken Breast Nuggets) Yum with BBQ sause. Sliced mango yung nasa taas, masarap din, matamis. Homemade Baked Macaroni Ordered from a neighbor for noche buena. It has beef, mushrooms and bechamel sauce. Still yum. Second year in a row na since  2022 noche buena macaroni . Pork tocino and scrambled egg (Pampanga's Best Original Tocino) with suka, syempre. Dry yung eggs huhu. Sinangag sana yung rice pero bagong saing kasi. Dapat sa fried rice yung day-old na maalsa para buhaghag. Speaking of... tagalog ako pero yung term na "maalsa" sa bigas, recently ko lang naintindihan 😁

Mango season and food pics

 It's mango season! Lots of sweet ripe mangoes for sale around us 😋  Mango Slices, Pork Tocino + Vinegar Sawsawan My current favorite bigas  variety is sinandomeng. It is buhaghag but still soft, but not all sinandomeng  are the same. I prefer the one by Golden Grain's. Mango Slices, Beef Tapa + Salt on the Side I asked for salt. Maybe I'm having too much sweet fruit.  Mango slices, Purefoods hotdogs + UFC Banana Catsup I prefer Purefoods Cocktail Hotdogs compared to the regular sized Tender Juicy. Two weeks straight of sweet mangoes is cloying (but good for digestion!). Will hold off buying them for now.
