Lasang Pinoy 24: Natillas del coco
Mi experiencia flan del leche más memorable estaba en una fiesta. Las natillas fueron hechas con los huevos del pato y la leche de coco, según el padre del officemate de mi marido. Era algo que soñaba siempre con hacer en el país pero los pocos tiempos que podíamos comprar huevos frescos del pato, mi leche del coco flan no resultó demasiado bien. No habría hecho probablemente la tentativa en caulquier momento pronto no tenía otra vez Kai e-me envié alrededor Lasang Pinoy 24: Coco excesivo del loco.

Lasang Pinoy 16: Chocolate Polvoron
Estaba durante un viaje a Los Baños, Laguna el año pasado cuando primero muestreamos el polvoron recubierto de chocolate. Compré un paquete, apenas para intentar, y di el paquete a los cabritos en el backseat. Hicimos otra parada para comprobar hacia fuera algunas hierbas potted. Porque lloviznaba, nosotros a la izquierda los cabritos en el coche con instrucciones de trabar las puertas. Fui a continuación y examiné las hierbas potted. Después de algunos minutos, mi marido fue de nuevo al coche a comprobar para arriba en los cabritos. Él se volvió para mí con las noticias que los cabritos no podrían hablar - sus bocas eran llenas y con cada palabra hablada hacia fuera vino la leche polvorienta del polvoron. En fin, tuvieron gusto de él. También malo que no podríamos encontrar el polvoron recubierto de chocolate en nuestra área, no uniforme en el metro Manila. Hasta el ayer por la noche…

Lasang Pinoy 15 (reciclado, recargado!): El cocinar con sobras
el arroz frito Chino-estilo no es una receta filipina. Duh, de que debe ser que se explica por sí mismo. La ensalada de la patata no es un plato filipino nativo tampoco. Pero paksiw es. ¿Tortilla de huevos…???
Hmmm… No soy muy seguro. The term omelet is Continental but we do have our traditional version where chopped garlic, onions and tomatoes are stirred into the beaten eggs before pouring into the hot oil. What the heck am I talking about? Well, I’m talking about the dishes that I am featuring for Lasang Pinoy 15: Recycled, Reloaded!. Why am I including the Chinese-style fried rice and salad recipes? Because the way I understood the theme, it is not so much about traditional Filipino food but about the ingenuity of the Filipinos to make use of leftover food and to recycle them into great dishes.

Lasang Pinoy 12 (fusion cooking ): sauteed mongo sprouts and asparagus with oyster sauce
So, we take the humble togue guisado and transform it. But this dish is really more than just about fusion cooking. This is about pacifying two bickering adolescents. My 13-year-old daughter Sam wanted an asparagus dish for dinner last Sunday while 12-year-old Alex wanted togue (mongo or mung bean sprouts). In fact, they had been arguing since the night before when we were in the supermarket and choosing what vegetables we would cook for the next couple of days. So I combined the vegetables they wanted to eat. Sam even had an extra plate of asparagus all to herself.

Lasang Pinoy 12: fusion cooking and my beef tapa sandwich
When I read from Ces’ food blog that it’s going to be fusion cooking for the 12th edition of Lasang Pinoy, I got overly excited. This is my passion–turning traditional, often boring, recipes into dishes that are more today. I started digging into my archives to find out which of my previously posted recipes would be worth including in this post. There are so many but I chose… three to represent three categories of Filipino dishes: rice, meat and desserts…
In addition to that, I present a wonderful new way to serve the classic beef tapa–as a sandwich.

Lasang Pinoy 9: offal in Filipino dishes
The roundup for Lasang Pinoy 9: Lamang-loob: Odd cuts and guts is already up. I was able to squeeze in a few minutes of bloghopping last night and a visit to JMom’s reminded me I am late once more with my Lasang Pinoy entry. Without much ado, my entry is a kind of summary of previous recipes I have posted using offal or internal organs…

Lasang Pinoy 8: mocha latte and choco latte
I know I’m done posting my entry for Lasang Pinoy 8 but my kids took turns making mocha latte and choco latte earlier tonight and… why waste such a wonderful story? Because it really was quite a story–I ended up drinking one tall glass of mocha latte and two short glasses of choco latte. How could I say no after all their effort, eh? Of course, after that, I swore I won’t eat a thing tomorrow.
