Cooking Fever: Rice, etc

I always make sure my husband has breakfast as his baon because he leaves early in the morning to avoid traffic. My schedule at work provides me ample time to cook our food. I’m sure just like me, moms out there spend a lot of time thinking of meals/baon for their husbands every single day. I’d like to share some of my ideas for office baon for your husbands.

When we say breakfast for work, it’s not enough that we eat bread. We, Filipinos, love rice and it’s a jumpstart (aside from coffee) of our day. So here are rice recipes I provided for my husband.

1. Yangchow Rice- Mix of left over rice, frozen mixed veggies (those you can buy from supermarket), ham and eggs


2. Famous Garlic Rice (with Garlic Longganisa) – Left over rice and toasted garlic, egg is optional. For the the one with garlic longganisa, use the oil after cooking the longganisa.



3. Adobo Rice – Left over rice and adobo sauce with fried adobo meat and potatoes


4. Bagoong Rice – Binagoongan Sauce and rice topped with Binagoongang meat and eggplant


5. Corned Pork Rice– La Filipina corned pork (because Lester doesn’t eat beef) and Rice with Mushroom, Red Bell Peppers, White Onions and Cheese Omelette

It's a Girl!

Finally after 30 weeks, Lester and I are happy to announce that we are having a baby GIRL! It took that long because we’re the kind of couple who’s obedient to the OB- have ultrasound when needed. Last time we checked, the OB did not confirm Little Javier’s gender though she told us that this little one is most likely a baby girl. Lester was still positive to have a baby boy- he still has 40-30% chance. But hey, it doesn’t matter- after all, we can still make another one :).  It must be the genes- my mom gave birth to 5 children- 4 of us are girls and our youngest is a boy (can you just imagine how Little C feels when he’s at home?). Lester was already dreaming of playing with his little one, teaching how to play PS, bike and all those boy stuff while I was already imagining cooking, baking and doing girly stuff with our little Javier- and I won! I remember when I was still on my first and second trimester, I was so into little things for girls that when I go to the mall’...

Project Hennessy: Gate

Okay, I must admit, I am still lazy to choose photos for our wedding photo album. These days, I've been spending time surfing the net to do my research on designing our house. Yes, my husband and I have been planning this since last year and finally, we're almost there. I learned a lot from my parents in planning our house. Just last year, 6 months before I got married, my family moved in to a beautiful home not far from our old house and a year before the transfer, I saw how my mom and dad prepared for this milestone. They spent weekends in hardware and home furniture shops and used their free time surfing the net to get ideas designing the house. While Lester and I were in the search of looking for house, my dad introduced me to Houzz.com . It's like a magazine full of house design ideas all over the world. I downloaded the app last year and did a little browsing. For a while, I forgot about this app and was busy preparing for our wedding. And time flew so fast, now ...

First Plane Ride

Do you remember the first time you rode the plane? Nowadays, it’s very easy for kids to experience their first plane ride as fares are cheaper. Thanks to budget airlines that once had a vision that every person can ride a plane once in their lives. I took my first plane ride when I was 5 years old. Lucky to experience that young, I was with my mom and my sister when all of us rode the plane for the first time to travel. I had no idea what was this travel is all about, even did not have any knowledge where we’re going. All I knew was that, we’re riding the plane and we were going somewhere far where my dad studied his Master’s degree. Not all kids, during that time, had that chance. And definitely, not all kids had the chance to travel to Europe so I am most thankful to my lola (who’s in US) who gave us this opportunity. Here’s my picture back then. We had a stopover in Hongkong Airport and this innocent kid asked her mom why we were getting down the plane. My mom answered...
