For dinner, sister cooked "nilagang baka," which literally meant, "boiled beef." This is one of popular dishes to beat the cold weather because of its very hot broth, and although we didn't have potatoes to go with this dish, the sweet potatoes we had in the vegetable bin (of the fridge) was able to suffice, even if sister seemed to overcooked it.
170. Jolly Chicken and Spaghetti Meal
I already blogged about this last Monday (please read HERE)... my favorite meal from Jollibee.

Last grocery day, sister included a 1kilo pack of cream dory, and for this day she cooked fish and chips. Normal fish and chips we see served at restaurants include the whole fillet of fish, but here in the house, we prefer it cut to pieces before frying. I made the dip by combining cream, lemon juice, mayonnaise, finely chopped garlic, and some spices and seasonings.
172. Colette's Buco Pie
Cousin Jayson was hired at Samsung Philippines, and this day, he took care of his medical records, and when he got home, he gave us two boxes of Colette's Buco Pie (young coconut pie). Colette's has been our choice of buco pie, but this time I was completely disappointed. The pie got smaller, it had lesser custard, and it wasn't as delicious anymore.
173. Simple Caldereta
Caldereta is a Spanish-inspired beef dish. We still had some beef left, so sister turned it to simple caldereta by using just beef, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and tomato sauce. It wasn't spicy, but we had some chili garlic sauce on the side if we wanted to make it spicy.
174. Ultimate Texan Ribs
Something I ate at the first bloggers' buffet at Carol's Texan 5.
Today the rain poured hard. It has been raining nonstop since yesterday, and since most places are already flooded, classes were suspended and government offices closed by noon time. Mom and her co-workers grabbed the time to go to the nearby mall to watch a movie, and she brought home some crema de fruta for our desserts. It was yummy, but I am not really into fruits, so this one was just okay for me.
This week was ruled by beef.. next week, I want to make it veggie week.
