HOW ASIANS MAKE RICE

This is my newest vlog post. It tackles on how Asians make rice.  I am from the Philippines and I learned how to cook rice since I was six years old, it is a must for us. I remember, my mother and I  went to the hospital.  My younger brother was all alone at home.  When we got home, my poor brother cooked rice.  It was not done and burned.  He said that he was so hungry.  

My uncle was staying with us then.  He left my brother without preparing anything, my brother was 8.  In order to cook, we had to use a gas stove, not the one that people are using now.  You have pump air for the gas to reach the burner.  It was very hard back then.  My mother was crying.. I will never forget that day.

So, it is really necessary for young people to learn how to cook.  Here is a short youtube video that I made and how proud I am of my heritage.

What's For Dinner?

Tonight, I made pork with vegetables in sour broth or sinigang na baboy in Filipino. Most people in the Philippines grew up in a good homecooked meal, thanks to our beloved mothers and fathers, as well.

I always try to make Filipino dish so I don't feel so far away from home. Blessed enough, my husband loves to eat and it's a-must that we dine in together. My husband is half-Polish and they are very rich in tradition, as well. Very family oriented, like the Filipinos. So much so, Filipino and Polish traditions are somehow similar. 

Anyways, here is the Pork Sinigang I made for tonight. I did not have kangkong or water spinach in English, so I used petchay (bok choy) as an alternative. It work just fine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful night. Smiles to you all.

Filipina wife amazes a Navy Veteran

I was born and raised in the Philippines and grating coconut manually is a part of our heritage, Ha!  The first time my husband saw me grating a coconut, he was AMAZED! And now, it is his new thing.  If we go to the any stores and he sees a coconut, he would point at me, of course, I would grab one. 

He also love to eat it, yes! He eats the coconut meat, the one we use for cooking? He's weird haha... Caucasian eating coconut. He is so adorable whenever he do that.

So, here I am grating coconut because he asked for it. Goof ball.
