bubuhayin ang matagal ng patay...

i'm gonna do it again ^_^ (and yeah that's an old friendster shirt haha)


pasenya na... dumating lang sa time na tinamad ako mag-blog. well it's not because not a lot are reading, no. tinamad lang talaga, and bukod pa dun e dahil sa wala ng wifi sa bahay, at kelangan pang umakyat at dun mag-internet (na kung saan active ang parents ko) e nakakatamd na. ako kasi e naging kumportable ng mag-blog at kung anu ano sa kwarto ko, na ngayon ay di ko na nga magawa dahil sa walang wifi.

so here i am sa taas. nasa baba ang kwarto ko (na wala pa ding kuryente dahil... ay ewan, i'm gonna tell why the next time) and ngayon nasa 2nd floor na may kuryente (thank God hiniwalay ng parents ko ang linya ng kuryente sa baba at taas ng bahay!!)

so 2 sundays ago, i had a talk with nyl, and we talked about sa pagkatamad ko mag-blog. and i'm really happy to have that talk with him. (okay hindi ako marunong magkuwento so i'll skip the details) napag-usapan namin na tinamad ako, and naging hassle pa ang pagkawala ng kuryente. and it's gonna be out of my comfort zone din kung aakyat pa ako para mag-iinternet, dahil nga andun ang dad ko (na umaaligid aligid at umaagaw ng tingin sa screen ko which is somewhat irritating, at kanina lang he DID)

"gusto mo ang pagluluto 'di ba? and sa pagluto, hassle din ang paghuhugas pagkatapos, but you still do it. tama? so ganun din..." (well that's not his exact words but that's how it's like)

so now, kahit andito parents ko't minsan ay tumitingin ang dad ko, e go pa din, go! hehe ^_^

so october was my last post. and i haven't posted what i've cooked for the new year's eve celebration so here they are...

that's crispy fish fillets, steamed broccoli and baby potatoes with black olives ^_^

without the ham

having ham with it is so much better ^_^

with the baby potatoes (and my mom at the back ^_^)

baby potatoes with cheese, ham, black olives and capers. i love capers and black olives!

haha! :)

pa-santo effect

spaghetti from my aunt

i loved the crispy fish fillets i made... i used cream dory for the fish, and it tasted great! yung bread crumbs e yung sm bonus lang but surprisingly it's great. sarap ng pagka-crispy : )

crispy fish fillet + a yummy salad + potatoes = yum! ^_^

burger and... greens??

sorry i was too eager to eat after cooking...

hmmmm the house smells of yummy burgers as i'm typing away on my laptop. ^_^ *like like!

for lunch i decided to make burgers for me and my dad. i did have frozen beef in the fridge which i got from drunk shopping yesterday after drinking with friends (yeah 'drunk shopping' it's what i call kapag natipuhan kong mamalengke pagkatapos uminom haha) and this 'seasoned salt' that an aunt sent us, so i wanted to try making burgers using that seasoned salt.

put it to the test: seasoned salt

seasoned salt is really nice and convenient. it's salt with some spices like black pepper, chili pepper, paprika, onions and garlic. it's similar to the 'magic sarap' and 'real sarap' that we have but it has no herbs in it and it's red in color. so then i proceeded with making the burger patties... 1/4 kilo of ground beef with 1 egg, the seasoned salt, basil, garlic granules (yep i keep those in my kitchen because i love garlic) and parmesan cheese. (yeah i love experimenting) so mix here, mix there, add a bit more seasoning... and voila! burgers! all meat with no extenders! yum yum... and seasoned salt is also great for making burgers. it turned out well. and yeah it only serves 2-3 people, it's only half a pound of beef f.y.i...

the beef...

this was the first batch, i made them smaller for my own "tests". haha ^_^

the burgers... all that's needed is ketchup, mustard, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese ^_^

yeah i also bought ready to cook fries from the supermarket (which is cheep but great nonetheless) but i decided to just keep it for some other time, so instead of fries i got out the mix of greens i got from the drunk shopping spree i had. just to be a little healthier.

greens! yum i love them...

got them from SM supermarket in Cubao. they're actually cheap and convenient. around 80 pesos is more than twice of what you see in the picture. it is purchased by weight. it's all sliced up already and washed (but of course to be safe just wash 'em again), and you put those that you want in their bags and you let them weigh it. there's 3 different kinds of lettuce, and there's even red cabbage ^_^ and there's sliced up green bell peppers, carrots and cucumber, and croutons. it's really convenient. just wash 'em up, mix with dressing (i prefer caesar dressing), add some parmesan cheese.

look! it's furrresh!

i love eating salads...

even though it's cheap it's actually fresh. mind you, this was taken a day after i bought it from the grocery. i'm happy that i discovered this. it was my 1st time so i'm really hoping that they do sell it fresh everyday or baka natyempuhan ko lang na fresh sila. well i will find out the next time i go there for these...

sorry guys, no final picture of everything. got hungry and forgot to take pics. haha ^_^

burgers + caesar salad = yum yum ^_^
