Chicken, tomatoes and pineapple stew
A dish similar to this one was my friend Melissa’s contribution to our last every-Saturday-dinner with our close-knit circle of whacky friends (I brought my potato, beef and peanut pot). I asked her for the recipe and she recited the ingredients and procedure between mouthfuls of guinataang kuhol and inihaw ng liempo. In her recipe, [...]

Potato, Beef and Peanut Pot

Since I first sampled this salmon belly sinigang at Gerry’s Grill, I’ve been dreaming of cooking my own version at home. Gee, it was a very satisfying dinner we just had.

10-My new kitchen!
The new kitchen is now operational. Two things still need to be done. The first is the final polishing/waxing of the marble countertop. The second is to move the kitchen stuff in. Most of them had been stored in boxes since we moved into this house.

Vegetable noodles, chicken and quail eggs
The multi-colored and multi-flavored vegetable noodles are a product of China. The good news is that they’re really pretty–pretty enough to turn an old boring dish into something new and exciting. The better news is that they’re good for making oriental noodle dishes as well as Italian pasta dishes. The best news is that they [...]
