Something Simple and Easy, that's what I want to call my Food Friday post for this week. :h

Ingredients used:

• toasted bread
• tomatoes, oranges, parsley
• extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper
• kesong puti

Kesong puti (lit. "white cheese" in Filipino) or Filipino fresh cheese is a soft, white cheese, similar to cottage cheese, made from unskimmed carabao's milk, salt and rennet.^[1] It has a soft, close texture and slight salty taste. Some commercial versions are slightly sour due to the use of vinegar in place of rennet. This cheese originated from and is produced in the provinces of Laguna, Bulacan, Samar, and Cebu. In the Philippines, it is a popular breakfast fare eaten with the freshly baked local bread called pan de sal.

Everything's just a matter of toasting (the bread slices), slicing (the kesong puti and the toasted bread slices), then assembling them on the plate, together with the other ingredients. The drizzling (of the olive oil) and the grinding of the black pepper over the the cheese and bread finishes everything off. Really easy. And tasty! :$

I read in a food post somewhere that they also fry the kesong puti first (in margarine, or butter) before eating it together with pan de sal...got to try that sometime! :P

Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds overload! I have no idea what they are called (the package was written in Chinese); one of my sisters gave us a pack after her business trip to China.

Each square is more or less about an inch big (or small, lol). But it was packed with all the sesame flavor that I loved. There were two variations: sesame seeds with peanuts and sesame seeds with dessicated coconut. :$

Now who wouldn't want to taste that delicious looking treat! I believe that that's a special yeast cake with nuts incorporated into it. Looks quite new to me that I couldn't help looking around the internet for more about it! Winnie's food blog is filled with so many interesting information together with delicious shots of her creations.

When I was living with my parents we used to eat fish EVERYDAY. Yeah, everyday. I thought I had eaten all the fish that I needed to last me a lifetime, but I was wrong. Now whenever I get the chance to eat fresh fish I grab that chance. That's why when I saw some fresh fish at a recent mall trip I couldn't help but buy a kilo. I forgot what kind of fish it was (am terrible with names!) but it was so fresh I cooked and named it simply: Oven Toasted Fish

Ingredients:

• fish
• olive oil, coconut vinegar
• garlic, tomatoes, pepper, salt,
• butter

What I did:

• Clean fish and cut into serving pieces. Add salt.
• Slice tomatoes and put a layer inside buttered containers (I used medium sized aluminum containers), together with garlic.
• Add the fish then drizzle a bit of olive oil. Add vinegar and pepper.
• Place tomatoes on top, if you want.
• Cover with aluminum foil, but not too tightly.
• Place in oven toaster (or oven) for around 10-15minutes.
• Remove the foil and check if cooked; then place back inside the toaster/oven to get those "burnt marks" (totally optional).
• Take out when you're satisfied with the "burnt marks".
• Best served hot.

Link and Get Linked

I have been blogging for quite some time now and have learned a thing or two. Yeah, I can be kind of slow somtimes. lol. One of the things a blog needs is to have your blog linked to other sites. Of course there are lots of ways to do it, and one way would be to visit other blogs, leave a comment, and ask for a linkback. That takes time, though, but it can be done. Another way would be to join a group of blogs which also have one thing in mind: get their blogs linked to other sites. Since I can't be glued to the internet and the computer 24/7, I think this route suits me best...and one family-friendly group that came highly recommended was BC Bloggers.

I will be submitting my link to their site today, and if you're interested, just click on the badge. Submission is until December 15th only. See you there! :)
