mag-POLVORON ta karon


Today, April 14th 2020.  
Mommy's birthday on lockdown because of the virus outbreak.

 Inspite of it, entire clan - daughters, sons-in-grace, grandchildren, grandchildren-in-grace, got together online.
Grateful hearts gathered. 
Thankful to the Lord for the life of Mommy G.  

 From the day He made her in Apong's womb, through the many seasons of her life, Daddy God has been faithful.  Father has blessed ahead her journey and written ahead her destination.  Surely, with long life with many good days as He's promised, will He satisfy mommy.
Praise the Lord for each day He made for her.

Sans the birthday cake, Z and I made this polvoron together today.
Z wanted it with Oreo bits. (I pray our time in the kitchen be more of happy memories to her, than of me scolding 😅)

 How timely that there's this mooncake mould from hubbytot.

 We dedicate this one big pretty chunk of floral polvoron to our one and only Mommy, Lola G.

Creamy Miso 🥣

I hated miso soup. And then I loved it ever since. This comfort soup may have a slight tangy taste depending on what type of miso is used. My hubby does not like a hint of sour/tangy stuff. To discover that milk could be added to spin off the taste was a welcome revelation!!! The aroma and taste always takes me back to my days in Japan. My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture. It was my 1st time away from my motherland, and 1st time to experience winter, at that. To say that I was in a state of culture shock is an understatement. I loved soft fluffy Japanese rice. The roasted flaky saba fish. Ramen noodles. Crunchy karaage. Not miso soup though. I hated miso soup. But that fateful cold night, I have just reached "home" from the 10-minutes trudge from work. A quick change to warmer clothes, I was immediately at the dinner table. The warm soup felt grudgingly comforting. The next spoonf...

a feast for the eyes

Are you both a foodie and a movie buff? If so, then surely you love watching on the big screen movies that largely incorporate scrumptious food! For being such deliciously charming movies, what are your favorites? Top in my list are these two:   1.  Ratatouille (2007)  Set in France, this is the story of an unlikely friendship of a one-of-a-kind rat, Remy, and a hard up, clumsy but kind young man, Linguini; where one has an unusually refined taste for a rodent, and the other an unbeknownst inheritance. Their circumstances take them to a partnership they never imagined to reach for their dreams! This being a family movie that entertains the young and young once is a huge plus! 2.  Chef (2014)  This is a heartfelt and funny story of a 50-something chef in California. He is divorced and had no time for his young son. His career once started promisingly; foodies were on the lookout for his gastronomic creations. But pressure from the restaurant's pr...

Hummus try this!

Hummus is long overdue; this was my hubby's request for the longest time already. The classic take is always using chickpeas. M y easy excuse was that chickpeas here in our region is not as cheap; no main ingredient, no hummus! 😝 But ever so thankful for foodies around the world who share their recipes online... was I happy t o find that there are versions using eggplants, squash, and cauliflower!!! Definitely cheaper alternative to the peas. F or sure there are quite a few more options out there. But Google already had me at eggplants . Our eggplant hu mmus turned out delicious. Hummus really try this!  Sorry, but pun intended 😁.  This hummus is apparently called Baba Ganoush, originating from the Arab region.  (F ile exotic name in a shelf along long-term memory aisle. Check!  Ohhh lots of yummy dishes in those places. But that's for another day in the kitchen. For now...)   Let me it note down for future Arabian-esque dinner nights at home. Baba G...
