Fish Tacos . . . “tostada” style

Posted in Recipes and Stuff on July 29 2007 | Leave a Comment »

Since I didn’t have enough toothpicks to “deep fry” the corn tortillas, I had to fry the tortillas “flat” as opposed to shaping them as tacos shells. This was my first time ever making fish tacos and I was very happy with the way they turned out. (Remember, I don’t “cook!”) [...]

As mentioned in my earlier post, on Saturday we went to Oakley to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. It was simple and nice gathering with only a handful of cousins and their children. It was nice seeing them because we hardly ever get to see one another with exception for the holidays. The [...]

It’s been two years today and for some reason I always seem to remember the month and date of “July 27th” as if I’m remembering someone’s birthday or anniversary . . . but really I’m remembering that day as the day the familia and Nanay came back home from a 3 weeks trip from the [...]

Can you imagine filling up the bag RS is “modeling” with handbags, shoes, clothes, accessories, etc.? Well, actually this is, believe it or not a “laundry” hamper which has 3 dividers inside . . . one for colors, one for whites and I can’t remember what the other section is for. We [...]

Fishballs!

Posted in My Love for Food! on July 26 2007 | Leave a Comment »

It wasn’t until we were in the Philippines in July 2005 that JP and AC were first introduced to “fried fishballs.” My cousins and/or their kids would take them out to buy some fried fishballs near the palengki (open market) or “road-side.” The hubs and I were a bit “nervous” about having [...]

before he “goes” . . . (for some reason, I don’t like using the word “die.”) is for me to make 1) pinakbet and 2) adobong pusit (squid in vinegar & soy sauce). The hubs is forever joking and saying funny things. I’m happy to say that I have made the pinakbet [...]

Why I look forward to Tuesday’s at 3:00 p.m. . . .

The coffee hour they have in our department . . . that’s why! Actually, I’ve dubbed it as the “cookie hour” because I only go down to get the oatmeal cookies (Trader Joe’s) and sometimes I get the mango lemonade drink too! If I want to loose weight, I know I should [...]
