Cooking, Sarap?

Maja Blanca Cake Tart Good morning everyone( or evening depending under what palm tree you are reading this post) and Happy Birthday! Who's birthday? Depends on specific cases ( Happy Bday Ate A and Gabrielle (counting that you'll be a Feb. baby, people born this month are the best!), but mostly generic we should celebrate the best day of all, Women's Day, on March 1st! Why the best? Because it's well known they always bring the best ( or worst ) in us ( but for this specific occasion we shall assume it's the best! ), and as such I have researched deep inside my endless bucket of inspiration for an appropriate gift. Not having found one and considering that flowers are overrated, I shall give you the best gift of all: the gift of knowledge, as I shall bake the best cake ever, using an old filipino recipe and my best unique ideas for an astonishing end result that I shall eat all alone while you cheer Sarap, Sarap ! Yes, as you already figured it out from t...

Meatballs Spaghetti( filipino style ) Hello again friends from overseas and welcome to another weird weekend cooking episode of your antisocial friendly, pretended filipino chef. Now that Valentines Day is gone and you certainly spent your whole savings taking your loved ones out to dinner ( because nothing says I love you like somebody else's cooking ), it's time to re-balance your budget with  some in-house tasty meal. Or, if you didn't get any love and looked for increasing your social status points with a volunteering job, aside from the feel good about yourself sentiment, you might have also caught a cold, hatched 2 pokemon eggs by walking a lot and got super hungry when back home. Or maybe you were just lazy and slept half day Sunday.  Well, in all those cases do not worry, I got you covered with a cheap super sarap tasty, quick and easy to prepare Meatballs Spaghetti Filipino style . But lets not take any more of your time because talking is for politicians ...

Chop Suey ( Filipino style ) Hello friends and foes, it's another weekend so another great occasion for my cooking talent to show off and get punched in the face during the ending credits of this awesome sarap recipe I have prepared for the week. After the resounding success we had last time with the aluminum filled Embutido   ( I ate it alone and it lasted for 5 days!),  this time R advised to go through a metal cleansing diet of vegetables. That's why she thought an easy to prepare classic Chop Suey  would be perfect since it will allow me to get to know better my vegetables and make friends with vitamins (as she thinks i need to socialize more) . Well, little did she know that frozen vegetables are on sale this week so that makes my life way easier since no chopping is involved! But for the sake of the recipe we will still chop some stuff ( we wouldn't Suey would be unhappy ). Now, I don't know who Suey is but I guess she/he was important enough to have a dish...

EMBUTIDO Halo halo everyone, I'm back today with a new post from the Stranger Cookings series, or as the Terminator 2 would say:"I'll be BAK!" Well anyway, you're here reading nonsense so let's get right to the main one! Today we shall try our luck with an amazing filipino recipe which spreads joy when eating and makes everyone remember their happy days, Embutido  .   This is supposed to be an easy to prepare dish but we'll make it more exiting with an awesome DIY project! Actually this recipe reminds me of a similar one from back home, Drob , which is usually served in Easter or Christmas.  Anyway, for today's trials of fire we shall get our winter boots and brave through the snow to the corner store where we catch some pokemons, spin the pokestop and buy some minced pork meat, a medium green bell pepper, and some excellent bread crumbs italian style, with cheese flavor ( because as you know Italians love their cheese and spread it on anythin...
