Supahgetti!

And yes... another spaghetti post. =)

Yesterday, I was alone in the house so I didn't know how to serve the construction workers. I don't want to go to the nearest bakery because it would mean I'd have to shell out some moolah, which I don't like. So, seeing a can of corned beef in the pantry and some hotdogs in the chiller, I just cooked a very quick spaghetti for them.

I don't know if they liked it - I was only able to taste a "fork-ful" of it because I am now trying to cut back on foods. =)

Mangan at Mangan

After sister's graduation rites, we went to SM Mall of Asia to eat late dinner. Sister and I hoped to eat at a place we haven't eaten yet, and the first food place we saw in the mall's directory was Mangan (meaning "eat"), and that's where we ate the much needed dinner.

Mangan is a Kapampangan food place, and since they serve group meals, we just chose to have it. This platter of grilled foods include a milkfish, some prawns, mussels, a slab of pork belly and a big piece of chicken. There are also some grilled eggplants that went so well with the burong dalag (fermented mudfish).

The foods were so delicious, but it seemed not enough. We wanted more! =)

F = Fruits

February 14 may be the day of hearts, but when Valentine's Day came this year, I spent it in my bed, as I was nursing a flu. I seldom get the flu, but when I do, mom would always buy me different kinds of fruits. So on Valentine's Day, instead of eating chocolates, I was eating these. Well, I don't eat pears, so I gave this pear to my mom. I am already happy eating the grapes and tangerine.

Nilagang Buto-Buto

Once, mom came home with some bony parts of pork. It was supposed to be for our dinner that day, but brother was already preparing another dish, so he just pressure cooked the meat so we could store it in the fridge, making us dispose the accumulated fat during the cooking.

The next day, I decided to cook the dish myself (yes, so I could have an entry for Food Friday, hehehe). Normally, whenever there are pork bones in the fridge, we would just cook nilaga out of it. If it was me, I would prefer it to be sinigang, but since mom's not a big fan of sour dishes, nilaga was the best choice for it.

Aside from the bony parts with meat on it, mom also bought some of those bone parts with marrow, and I really enjoyed eating those! Armed with my very slim bread knife and a dip of patis and calamansi, it was heaven.

But I am thankful I didn't meet up with my Creator that night... eating foods like this makes me so guilty afterwards.

Snacks at JBee

Last May, when brother and I went to La Union, I asked him if we can go see that Thunderbird Resorts in San Fernando because they said it looked a lot like Santorini in Greece. When we arrived in San Fernando, raindrops fell, and we thought we might as well cancel the trip to the resort and just eat some snacks at Jollibee. It has been a long time since I last at JBee, so I really binged that day! Well, this heavy snack was a lifesaver for us, for after we ate, the rains have stopped and we were able to check out the resorts. =)

Sprinkled with Cheese

Once, my brother cooked pizza using the turbo broiler. I already posted a picture of it sometime ago, this was another shot from the set. I am not really into cheese, but when it comes to pizza, I love mine with lots of it!

Sadly, we can't just do that because our mom might scold us for grating all the cheese. =) Hopefully, the next time there's a homemade pizza here, it will be smothered (not just sprinkled) with cheese. And if it's not much to ask, I really am hoping it'll be mozzarella cheese, and not just the ordinary quick melt cheddar cheese like the one used here.

Fried Rice

Here in the house, breakfast is the most seldom meal we eat. Maybe because some were busy preparing for the day, or some would still be in bed, or we just don't really have the knack for eating breakfast. I myself oftentimes eat at 9am and I would already include my lunch to it.

But of course, there were times when I would really get hungry upon waking up in the morning, and for a person who's not really into bread, I wanted to eat rice. However, the time I cooked this we only had 1 hotdog and 1 slice of sweet ham in the fridge. What I did was to slice the ham and hotdog into bits, and added it in left over rice. Instant meal for me! =)
