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.

GINISANG AMPALAYA

Who wouldn't like a stir-fry vegetable? Today, I made ginisang ampalaya with eggs only, no meat. Ampalaya or bitte gourd in English, is a very healthy vegetable. I remember, my mother would force me to eat this because I "hate" the bitter taste of it. She could make it less bitter, though, by washing it with salt, no water but salt then she will rinse it with the water. 

As I grew, I learned to love this crumpled vegetable. I don't even wash it with salt. I like the bitter taste of it now. It is best when partnered with fried fish. Mmm... 

Ok, guys. I will enjoy my stir-fry bitter gourd vegetable and eat with rice. See you later. 

Smiles to you all.

Homecooked

Does your husband prepares meal for you? You are one lucky wife, then!  I think I am, too. My husband is a good cook. He likes to prepare meals from scratch, like anything that's in the fridge? He will make a meal out of it, and it's pretty good.

I love homecooked meal. I grew up in a household where eating out is a treat, (thanks to my mother).

Anyways, without further adieu. Here is what he made for me today. It's burger with mushrooms and his own gravy. It was pretty good. Hats off to that.
