Red Onion
This is my entry for
Redness Wednesday. Although the color is somewhat purplish, they actually call it Red Onions! This is one of my favorite rice companion. I just sliced pork and marinate it with soy sauce, vinegar, olive oil, crushed red pepper and a little sugar for 30 minutes to an hour and fry it in hot oil in wok and then add minced garlic and sliced red onions until crisp and done! I will post the recipe in my abandoned Delish Blog when I am not lazy to update it lol. I have a lot of pictures taken while cooking but too lazy to update my other blogs:(. Anyway this is it for Redness Wednesday!
Longing
Binignit is what I am thinking of right now! This time of year, there’s a lot of people who are selling this yummy stuff. My favorite one was Joy’s mom in Mambaling. I used to go every afternoon at this time of year and buy a couple of big bowl for me , my aunt & cousins. I love the taste of landang, camote, saging and gabi! I need to learn the recipe for this coz I think I can buy some of the main ingredients in the Asian store nearby. Although I doubt if they have landang ( don’t know what’s the English term for this one). The only thing I don’t like in binignit are those little (buli) circle thingy!
I am also saving up to buy a steamer , I saw a nice one at the Little saigon the other day. If I can buy it within the next month, I will be a happy gal eating MEATROLL! I have to ask Mae or Hannah the recipe for that though coz Mae’s Aunt/Hannah’s Mom Nang Epion make a very delicious Meatroll and Siopao in Pasil. wahhhh I’m starving
Standing Up
My Christmas Tree is finally up! My husband came home last night and the first thing he said is that”We are going to put the Christmas Tree up!”. I was hoping that he’d forget about it but he was persistent plus, with my kids help I said.. “Fine!”.
I just didn’t feel like doing it coz there was only 3 days til and I think it is just a hassle to put it up and then just to take it down after Christmas. They said that we can have it standing still until after New Year. Oh well, it was 4 against 1 of course they won!
I helped a little bit but they did most of the work. We still have the decorations given from my aunt-in law. You can see the wood stockings and the gingerbread man hanging on my tree. They actually made it from scratch and was given to us for Ethan’s First Christmas. We love home made crafts and gifts so there’s no way we will throw it out or give it away.
I was more busy at the kitchen cooking for supper. I checked on them once in a while and helped them decorate. I had to admit I had fun a little bit… sure a lot!
I am still thinking if they will take their bargain in helping me when it’s time to take that Christmas Tree down. It’s all fun and dandy putting it up but it’s so dreadful and time consuming when it comes of taking it down. One of my endeavor during Christmas Season is the issue of Christmas Tree~
Yesterday I was craving for a steak and there’s no way I can grill outside so I ended up broiling it. I marinade the steaks early morning and broil it when my family was busy decorating the tree. I spun some salad and made some Sautéed Mushroom. I have the recipe posted in my Delish blog so try if u want.
Anyway, got to go & get me something to eat for lunch. That’s my drama for today
Tc !~
Easy Saturday
I woke up early today because I promised my kids a big breakfast. I was a bit disappointed because I don’t have all the needed ingredients for a big breakfast. I used all my onions yesterday for a pot roast. I don’t have bell peppers, mushroom and other stuff I needed; I could go to the store but just too lazy to drive. I managed to make us a breakfast anyway.
I made some fried taters with bacon and scrambled eggs, Blueberry & Chocolate Chip Pancakes. I am glad that my family loved what I made them.
The boys had an early Winter Break. The school called yesterday and canceled the class due to bad weather. Of course they were ecstatic about it. They will resume on January 5th of next year. Shaun is at his classmate’s b-day party and my other 2 kids are busy playing computer and video games.
I am so glad that they forgot to pressure me about putting up the Christmas tree last night. I just don’t want to put it up this year and they kept pressuring. Then again, they always forget later on. Anyway gotta go for now . Enjoy the weekends:)~
Ballet Ended
So her Ballet class ended last Saturday and now she just practice at home. I will make sure to register her into another class next year. She enjoyed being in that class more than she enjoyed being in Jr. Jams class. For now, she enjoys coloring, watching Noggin and Disney Channel. She is also bugging me to repaint and redecorate her room. She wants to paint it Pink and Brown! She wants to get rid of Tinkerbell decorations in her room. I don’t know why she doesn’t like Tinkerbell.My husband painted her room and we decorate it with Tinkerbell decorations when she was still in my belly, but when she was big enough to stand on her toes, she started ripping the Tinkerbell borders. So now she is crazy about pink and brown dots! I told her we will both repaint and redecorate it if she eats meat more than usual! Shes very picky she only eat meat if I cook, Cheesesteak, Humba, steak and Pulled Pork BBQ. other than that? you have to force her to eat something other than apples, Strawberries, cereal and plain noodles!She wouldn’t even eat the sauce! But she is very cute, adorable and very beautiful madlita!~
