Pickle it, just a little bit! 🎤🎹

Cook Time: 3 minutes
Prep Time: 25 mins

Amazuzuke: Sugar vinegar pickling  
Tsukemono: literally "pickled things" 

What's not to love with pickles?  says anyone with sour tooth. 😋 
And even if you're the polar opposite, give this a try.  Pickles are known palate cleansers, when paired with rich-tasting dishes, like fried chicken, pork bar-b-q, even ramen, meals become more enjoyable.

So here's an easy refreshing Japanese pickle recipe. 

Ingredients ðŸ¥’ 
1 Daikon (radish)
1 Carrot sliced rectangular
1/4 Cabbage - julienne or squares
1/4 cup Rice or cane vinegar
1/8 cup white sugar
1 tsp salt

Remove moisture ðŸ¥’
Place the vegetables in a bowl or ziplock bag.
Sprinkle 1 tsp salt.
Massage and mix well together.
Leave and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Drain the liquid.


Prepare the brine ðŸ¥’
Mix vinegar, sugar and salt in a small pan.
Boil for 3 minutes; the sugar should have dissolved into the mixture.
Cool.

Pickle it! ðŸ¥’
In a sealable container, put all the veggies.
Add the brine.
Mix/massage.
Seal well for an hour.

Note: This can keep in the fridge for a week.

Serve ðŸ¥’
Serve without the brine as a side dish to your favorite dishes.


Here's our take 1 for 2022:


Good!  says the 4 musketeers.
But, I still want that "summer breeze and lights up the place because your roof flew off" effect verdict from hubby-o though.  Saving that for take 2. 

Tip: the family prefers an extra portion of sugar and a little water to lessen acidity

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗  Ingredients  3 potatoes, boiled &  roughly  mashed  1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn,  1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗  Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...

Is da you?

i & our achi are having a bout of colds & flu.  she got hers from school, i think.  and i got mine from hers, from the all-nighters i had taking care of her the 1st few days onset.    but by God's grace, we are better, it's just a matter of time :-).  our shobe is just like her papa, healthy as a horse, (er maybe pony would suit her better), and still all by God's grace! :-)    s o anyway, i just had to cook some soup for us.. something easy to swallow w/ our sensitive throats, not oily, and with a chock-full of vitamins to help our bodies in this battle with the virus.  to me,  tinolang isda (translation: fish) is just the right answer! t he last time i cooked tinolang isda was in Cebu 7-ish months ago.   when I and my family got here, i was hesitant to cook the same, because i was not familiar with the fresh fish in this region.  Always, all i end up buying at the grocery is the same packed frozen suchi fish.. and i h...
