Today's Food Friday post: Embutido and Pechay Sub

Ingredients
bread of your choice (i used a small baguette)
embutido (sliced, which my sister-in-law made)
pechay/bokchoy (cooked in chicken stock)
red onion rings
pepper, salt, olive oil
calamansi/lemon juice

Assemble your sub:
bread - pechay - embutido slices - onion rings - pechay.
Drizzle olive oil, pepper, salt, and calamansi/lemon juice (optional).
Cover. Bite.

Embutido is sort of like meatloaf. It is steamed, though, instead of baked. Both are delicious (in my opinion), but I only had embutido so that was what I used. :D

You can wilt the onions, too...or maybe toast the bread. Or maybe add cheese or mayo. Your choice. It's your sub and you are entitled to eat it the way you like it! :P

Security

Our window lock conked out on us a couple of days ago. That means our main door can be unlocked from the outside by anyone without a key (the window in question is immediately beside the main door)...unless I keep it double-locked. We plan to have the window fixed when hubby gets back; if I have an inkling how to go about it, I would go right ahead and do it myself. Maybe this online site, http://www.reidsupply.com, have some of the supplies that I might possibly need. On the other hand, I think it's wiser if I wait. lol.

Just have to make sure I double lock the main door all the time! And maybe add in some other security measures .... crude, maybe, but hopefully effective. :)

Ms. Oggi, with her food post, Moussaka, on her blog: I Can Do That!

Am not that familiar with Greek dishes, but I had the chance to taste Moussaka ages ago. I was surprised to find out that it had eggplants! If you want to know how Ms. Oggi made this, then do click on the shot above!

My post is: Spaghetti in Carrot Juice.

This was a first for me; oh yeah, we sometimes put diced carrots (or even diced eggplants) into our spaghetti, but using the juice was a first. Actually, I wanted my kids to drink the carrot juice, but after seeing the faces that they made during the first sip... I just knew they wouldn't drink it willingly. Since they love spaghetti .... why not, right? :D

Ingredients:
pasta (cooked accdg. to package intructions)
ground beef (or you may use any vegan substitute)
tomato paste
soy sauce, worcestershire sauce,
diced onion and garlic, salt, pepper
carrot juice
cheese (i used grated cheddar)
butter (optional)

some of the ingredients used

• Cook pasta according to package instructions. I used only half of a 240g pack.
• Place ground beef in pot, mixed with a bit of water. Add salt, pepper, onions, garlic, and dash of worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Cook until water has evaporated and meat is brown.
• Pour in carrot juice and the tomato paste. Do some more mixing. I used up all the tomato paste while the juice was around a cup or so. As usual, I should have measured it, but I didn't. :P
• Add grated cheese. As many (or as little) as you like. Adjust seasoning.
• Dump in the cooked pasta. Add around a tablespoon of butter (just because I like butter, lol), but this is optional. Mix.
• Enjoy!

The kids loved the spaghetti, though the eldest commented that the sauce was slightly sweet (in a good way). Am mighty glad that they had their carrot juice! The shot above was the leftover, which I had for breakfast the next day, together with some avocado slices (with salt, pepper, and calamansi juice). I know, VERY WEIRD breakfast, but it totally works for me. :D

Rainy Season

The rainy season is upon us now and we must be more vigilant such that the mosquitoes don't get a chance to breed on every puddle that gets created! Some communities encourage households to clean their immediate surroundings, throw away stagnant waters and even utilize one of those ulv fogger. Prevention is definitely cheaper compared to the cure in times like this.

The past few days we have seen rain pounding our roofs and causing highway floods, but that is expected during this time. I have seen kids and adults alike getting the cough and sniffles, too. Not the best of times.

That is life. Seems to be down at the moment, but I know that eventually, like everything else, this will pass. :)

Ms. Luna with her post, Beef Bulgogi, on her blog: Miranda.

I have heard about this dish countless times, but still have to taste it. Korean food is not that popular here at home, but that is something that I hope will be rectified real soon. Do visit Ms. Luna's post (click on the shot) and see the story behind her Beef Bulgogi experience.

I have been seeing a lot of peanut butter-related posts the past few weeks (or maybe am just imagining things, lol), and that's why when I came across a peanut butter brand that looked interesting, I just know I had to buy it.  Also, once when I ordered a peanut butter-banana sandwich (in one of those sandwich stores in the malls) I was disappointed with what they gave me: too little peanut butter and too few banana slices in between the bread! Well, yeah, I think it costs only around Php60+...but still! Hence, I decided I'd make my own sandwich. :P

Meet my Peanut Butter, Cinnamon, Raisin and Banana Sammich! :D

Ingredients
loaf of your choice (i used wheat and raisin loaf)
peanut butter spread of your choice
banana slices

- assemble everything and enjoy! Or you might want to heat your sammich in the oven toaster, before devouring it. :P

I would love to try this with another fruit ... no idea yet. Am not sure if an avocado would fit the bill. But who knows? I'll never know unless I try!

This was definitely a far cry from the one that I ordered at the mall (below)!

Not Much

There doesn't seem to be anything much happening around here. I hope that that is a good thing! Unfortunately, I still get less sleep like before. Oh, I try to sleep early whenever I could...but that doesn't seem to be happening as often as I like. Or maybe I should just try harder.

Off topic: do you believe in witches? I mean, REAL ones? Just curious. :D

Haven't read from the kindle for days now. Ugh. I carry it with me wherever I go, though. And I still buy free online books from Amazon. Just keeps piling up! It is addicting! :D

This week am posting something that my sons and I had at Burgoo, a couple of days ago.

Normally, I'd get their Linguini with Clams, but I wasn't really hungry that day. Decided to order the margarita and cheesecake for myself, instead. The cheesecake was meant for sharing, but I still managed to finish it. lol. The spinach grilled salmon and the country style fried chicken were for my sons, while the shrimp was a freebie (because of the salmon dish - it was part of their promo). I absolutely loved the shrimps! Am not sure if it's part of their regular menu, but if it is, then it is going to be what am getting next time! :)
