Pinoy Recipe - Grilled Jalapeno Potatoes

This is not considered a Pinoy recipe but I still want to include this recipe on this blog because it was Nunnie who made this. See, Nunnie can cook too. I was surprised that this grilled jalapeno potatoes turned out really good. It's just a little too spicy for me. But of course, you can adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can even add green bell peppers and chopped onion to further enhance the taste. I have tried it. If you don't want to put it in a grill, then you can also put it in the oven. But since we were doing Inihaw Na Liempo at that time, then why not cook the potatoes with the marinated pork belly meat?

Grilling this potatoes with the marinated pork belly meat plus the smoke from the charcoal really added a very nice flavor to the potatoes. It was like grilled potatoes with a very subtle hint of the pork marinade. It was delicious. And the good thing about this not-so-Pinoy-recipe is that it's very flexible. You can actually season your potato however you want. But I really encourage everyone who are planning on trying this recipe to add some green bell peppers and chopped onion because I have tried it and I promise you won't be disappointed.

For those who are health conscious, you can substitute butter with extra virgin olive oil and still get the same good flavor. I know that some of you would think that me and Nunnie are not really health conscious. Believe it or not, we are. It's just that sometimes, it's hard to control ourselves from indulging in some tasty food. Just like what Nunnie said, he did not get fat by eating healthy foods. And round is a shape too you know. We will try to cook healthy food next time.

Pinoy Recipe - Adobong Manok

Chicken adobo or adobong manok is one of the most popular dish in the Philippines. Everybody likes it and almost everybody knows how to cook it. And also, everybody has their own way of making their adobo. Like me for example. I have seen some of my relatives cook adobo and without tomatoes. I have also seen one of my aunt put tomato sauce on her adobo. See, everybody has their own style. And this particular recipe is "my style." But I actually got it from my Aunt Ruth because that's how she makes her adobo. She would put tomatoes and I find it a lot better compared to adobo without tomatoes.

But anyway, like what I have said, everybody has their own style and preference when it comes to cooking. You should go with what you are comfortable with. Like on this particular video recipe, at first, we mentioned that the optional ingredients are Mang Tomas All-Purpose Sauce and oyster sauce. While cooking the adobo, I was really hesitant on adding those two ingredients because I don't know how it will turn out. It will probably turn out good, but the thing is, we made this particular video recipe for my brother-in-law who doesn't even know what adobo tastes like. And besides, I don't even know if there is an Asian store where he can buy Mang Tomas All-Purpose Sauce. So, we decided to not include those two optional ingredients and just go with what I know and what Nunnie likes.

Anyway, it came out really good. I am glad that Nunnie likes it. And I like it too. The good thing about chicken adobo or even pork adobo, is that the longer you store it, the better it tastes. I don't know, for me, it just tastes better when you serve it the next day. Next time, I am going to try to make it with Mang Tomas All-Purpose Sauce and oyster sauce and I will let you know how it turns out.

Buhay May Asawa...

Hindi pala madali...

Oo, alam ko na nuon pa na ang pag-aasawa e parang sugal. Sumusugal ka naman talaga eh. Narinig ko na rin hindi lang sampung beses na ang pag-aasawa e hindi parang mainit na kaning isinubo na pwede mong iluwa pag napaso. Narinig ko na rin na ang pag-aasawa e hindi madali. Hindi lang puro saya, may hirap din. Oo nga.

Sampung buwan na kaming magkasama ng asawa ko. Ngayon ko lang napatunayan na totoo palang babae ang nagdadala ng relasyon. Hindi ko nilalahat. Pero sa kaso ko, oo, babae ang nagdadala ng relasyon. Ako. Kung ako siguro e "nagger," malamang matagal na kaming naghiwalay ng asawa ko. Kung ako siguro e hindi marunong magparaya, malamang wala na ako dito sa bahay namin.

Ngayon ko pa lang nadidiskubre ang buhay may asawa. At hindi ako magsusulat kung hindi ako nahihirapan. Oo, aaminin ko, nakakahiya man, pero nahihirapan ako. Iba pala kasi talaga pag magnobyo pa lang kayo eh. Saka mo pa lang talaga makikilala ng lubos ang isang tao pag nagsama na kayo sa iisang bubong. Malamang sasabihin ng iba, "Kasalanan mo yan, ikaw tong atat na atat mag-asawa eh." Eh ano naman, pero isa lang ang alam ko na totoo, hindi ako nag-iisa sa sitwasyong ito. Sinong may asawa ang hindi dumaan sa pinag dadaanan ko ngayon?

Hindi sa masamang tao ang asawa ko. Ang totoo, hindi siya nananakit. Mabuti siyang tao. Pero, iba pala talaga ang kultura nila dito. Iba pala talaga pag hindi ka sanay sa hirap. Iba ang "lifestyle" ika nga. Sa pinas, pag may isasaing ka, ayos na. Kumbaga, sanay na sanay ako sa hirap kaya hindi ako nag aalala ng husto. Sila dito, konting hirap lang, hindi na alam ang gagawin. Hindi halos mapakali. Hindi makatulog. Ewan, mas nananaig lang siguro talaga sa akin ang dugong Pinoy. Dalang dala ko hanggang dito ang ugaling "bahala na" si batman. Ugaling sana eh makuha sa akin ng asawa ko. Kahit konti lang.

Sa kabilang banda, hindi naman puro hirap lang din ang nararanasan ko sa buhay may asawa. Siyempre may sarap din noh. Lalo na sa gabi, hahaha! Kasi kahit na sa kabila ng hirap eh masarap isiping may karamay ako. Sana lang, hanggang wakas ko siya karamay.

A Tribute To Ka Erano G. Manalo - Iglesia Ni Cristo Executive Minister

Mahal na mahal po namin kayo Ka Erdie... Magkita-kita po tayong muli sa Bayang Banal...


Ama huwag na huwag Mo pong pababayaan ang Iyong mga lingkod, aliwin Mo po kami sa panahon ng pagdadalamhati, maawa Ka pong bigyan kami ng lakas ng loob at ng higit pang pananampalataya para huwag kaming mahiwalay, at kung sakaling nakikita Mo kaming nalilihis ng landas, O Ama kabigin mo po kami pabalik sa Iyo, huwag Kang papayag na mahiwalay isa man sa amin, huwag Ka pong magsasawa na mahalin kami, kalingain Mo po ang bawat lingkod Mo, hinding hindi po kami hihiwalay hanggang bawian Mo kami ng buhay, Amen...

Paalam po Ka Erdy...

Hindi po namin kayo malilimutan...

driver's license

ang saya saya! grabe!

kahapon lang bago ako magtake ng driving test, nerbyos na nerbyos ako kase nga 3 weeks pa lang akong nagpapractice magdrive, so wala pa talaga akong kaalam alam, hindi naman to masyadong big deal nung nasa pinas pa ako kase andami dami namang sasakyan dun, hindi mo kailangang matutong magdrive, pero nung nandito na ako, sus sobrang kailangan pala sya, so yun, since may bago na akong work (akala ng mga taga McDonald's hindi ko sila lalayasan ha, tse!), at madadagdagan na ang hours namin pag nagbukas ang store namin, kailangan ko ng matutong magdrive papuntang work at pauwi,

gusto sana naming kumuha ng private driving instructor kaso since poor lang kami dito kaya ayun si lolo ko na lang ang nagturo sa akin, kahit sobrang nakakainis minsan kasi natataranta ako pag nagbibigay sya ng command, kahit ngitngit na ngitngit na ako kasi sobrang istrikto sya sa akin, kahit sobrang nakakainis na siya kasi masyado siyang disiplinado at ako e hindi, hmp! ayun since wala kaming pera pang hire ng private driving instructor nagtyaga na lang kaming magsariling sikap,

at sa awa ni Lord, ayun nakapasa din ako sa driving test! wooohooo! ang saya saya sobra! hindi ko naman talaga ini-expect na papasa ako kasi 3 weeks pa lang akong nagddrive, at wala pa talaga akong masyadong experience compared sa mga taga dito, akala ko nga ibabagsak ako nung nag-road test sa akin kasi may mga sablay ako e, pero ayun, buti na lang pinasa nya ako, hehehe, ang pagkakasabi pa nya, "you passed, but..." may ganon pa talaga e noh, pero sus ayos lang, ang mahalaga e yung "you passed..." nyahahahahahah

alala ko pa, siguro one week pa lang akong nag aaral mag drive sa parking lot, nung pauwi kami, sabi ni lolo, "here, take us home," weh ano daw??? punyeta e ang trapik kaya! rush hour at gusto nyang ako ang magdrive pauwi? at take note, one week pa lang akong nag aaral mag drive! susme nerbyos na nerbyos kaya ako, pero inisip ko na lang, pag nalaman to ng mga nasa pinas, ehehehe siguro may maiinggit na naman sa akin hahahaha! yun ang nasa isip ko, yun ang nagmotivate sa akin para mai-drive ko yung sasakyan pauwi, at sa awa ng Diyos, nakauwi naman kami hehehe...

anyway, may driver's license na ako nyahahahaha at makakagala na ako kung saan ko gusto, ang saya saya!
