Mr. Nicholas, with his post: Cheaters Smoked Salmon Pizza, on his blog: Intelliblog.

Curious why Mr. Nicholas called this Cheaters Smoked Salmon Pizza? Looks delicious, doesn't it? If you love pizza (like me!), then click on the shot and see how you can make this yourself, too!

Since it's now summer time here (and my kids are not so keen on summer classes - can't blame them! lol), we have been waking up late. That's why our breakfast these days are usually heavier than our school days breakfast fare (fruit, soft boiled eggs, and juice/hot choco, plus the occasional cereals), which should be done in a flash. lol. Here's our "usual" summer late breakfast food: Eggs Two Ways, is how I'd like to call this. :P

Ingredients

• Eggs
• Potatoes (diced)
• Bellpepper (diced)
• Tomatoes (diced)
• Chili leaves (or use what you have available)
• salt, pepper, garlic, onions
• Coconut oil for frying

Procedures

• A. Put the diced potatoes on hot pan with oil. Then add the bellpepper, garlic, onions and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put everything in the center of the pan, then top with the chili leaves (careful, there might be a bit of oil splashing since the leaves are "wet"). Immediately put the egg on top, some salt, then cover the pan (so that the leaves and egg will cook because of the steam).
• I like my egg "cooked" on top (am not a fan of "raw" eggs, though it does look good in pictures. lol), so I waited till it was no longer "red".
• Remove from the pan and transfer to a plate. Sprinkle with pepper.

**I added salt on the egg before putting on the cover; you may omit this, if you want. Instead, you may add the salt and pepper together after transferring the whole thing to a plate.

• B. Place potatoes on hot pan with oil. After a few minutes, add the bellpepper, then the garlic, onions, and tomatoes. Add salt and pepper.
• Remove from the pan once cooked.
• If there are no more any oil on the pan, add about a tablespoon. Once hot, add the beaten egg.
• Put the cooked mixture on top of the scrambled egg, then some chili leaves. Place on one side only, so that you can easily flip the other side to cover the mixture.
• Cook some more, if you want, by flipping the whole thing over.
• Drizzle with ketchup, or whatever you fancy.

Both dishes were yummy served with toast and our desired drinks (we all had hot choco that day). It's delicious with hot steamed rice, too, am sure. Yes, I will be serving more of this the next couple of days. Most probably change the chili leaves to whatever I have available! Or maybe add plantain bananas. LOL. Crazy, huh?! :)

Ms. Dexie, with her post Roasted Goat with Julliened Scallions Kilawen, on her blog: FEISTYCOOK

It has been ages since I tasted goat meat (chevon) and that shot certainly got me drooling! I have never tasted goat kilawen, but if someone offers me something like that I wouldn't hesitate. Click on the shot above to see how Ms. Dexie did her tempting kilawen!

This week's post: Experience at Mooon Cafe. I have tried their Davao and Ormoc City branches last summer  (I wanted to compare both), and unfortunately, the latter wasn't really a good experience. Or maybe we came in at just a very unfortunate time: past eleven on a Saturday morning. Shots below are from their Davao branch...

The food wasn't really to-die for, but it was reasonably priced. Quantity was no problem, too. They delivered what was shown on their menu (which normally doesn't happen in some restaurnats, lol). We had chicken skin (sooo crispy!), pizza, and fried chicken (yeah, chicken overload!), with their summer juice. It was an after-snack-before-dinner time for us.

What I also liked were their tables: they've got one of those hooks meant for you to place your bags. So convenient (specially for moms like me), and I wish all restaurants had those! Maybe not the exact model, but something similar. Right? :P

All in all, it was nice. Yeah. So-so. lol. :D

Ms Jenn, with her blog post Labong Meatballs, on her blog: Tara, Let's Eat!

I just know that I am going to love this Labong Meatballs even if I haven't tasted them yet. lol. It is kind of similar to the banana blossom burgers that my mom used to make...I haven't tried making them myself yet, but I just know that I will! Pretty soon! Do click on Ms. Jenn's shot above to see what I am talking about!

Another easy peasy food post this week: Loaf Pizza. Actually, it was just an excuse to use the pizza sauce which had been sitting inside the refrigerator for ages! It was not expired yet, of course. lol. But Almost. :D

Ingredients

• Loaf (sliced, but if we had pandesal I would have used it)
• cheese (LOTS! we used Pizza Plus {by Perfect Italiano} - it had mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheese)
• onions, bellpeppers both diced
• pizza sauce

Procedure

• Have the ingredients ready, then assemble:
• bread -> pizza sauce -> onions and bellpepper -> loads of cheese
• Place inside oven toaster. Toast accordingly.
• Or you may opt to add another slice of bread on top of the assembly and grill (or place inside a panini maker). Whichever is available and works best for you.

We actually had this last night. Hubby did most of it. I only helped with getting the stuff from the refrigerator. lol. My son wanted just cheese on top of his bread, while hubby and I went for the one with the pizza sauce, diced onion and bellpeppers (with the cheese thrown in, of course). One light dinner for all of us. Since we had a very heavy lunch. :P

ps. you can add anything to this pizza, actually. Tuna, ground meat, processed meat, pineapples, salted fish, chicken, chocolate (why not?!) ... just about anything but the kitchen sink! lol.

Few Weekends Ago

This was taken a couple of weekends ago, when I got my (new) phone. I just had to test it's photo capabilities that night! lol. Was fumbling with the controls and these are the very first shots that i took. Not as wonderful as my old phone (with 12.5MP camera), but I like the photo effects/apps that this new phone has.

Anyway, back to the food: my son and i liked what we had each (i got their baked zitti in tomato sauce while my son got their ham, pineapple and pepperoni pizza) over at Sbarro's that night. Admittedly, those are just a portion of what we had...we also had iced teas, spaghetti with meat sauce (for hubby), and two orders each of their pasta primavera (for both boys). No shots of the other foods, though. :D
