My cooking enthusiasm continues! Tuwang tuwa ako sa pagluluto ko recently. Ang dami nya kasing benefits:

  • hindi nasasayang yung mga binili naming gulay
  • nakakatipid kami at nasusunod ang food budget namin
  • homecooked meals are healthier
  • happy si Kenneth na laging may food tuwing lunch break nya
  • I feel somewhat creative pag mino-modify ko yung mga recipes na nakikita ko
Chia pudding with blueberry-blackberry jam and peanut butter

Happy ako sa discovery ko na ‘to kasi ang dali lang pala gumawa ng fruit jam! Kala ko kelangan pa ng heat at pakulo, pero may simple version pala. Few months ago, bumili ako ng blackberries at na-disappoint ako kasi ang asim. Yun din yung nangyari sa blueberries na binili namin last month. Hindi matamis. Hindi ko titiisin na kainin yung mga yun kasi bukod sa hindi enjoyable, magkaka-heartburn lang ako sa asim, so nilagay ko na lang sila sa freezer. Gagawin ko na lang silang smoothies in the future para hindi masayang. Kaso hindi nangyari kasi nawala na yung hilig ko sa smoothies. Kaya ang perfect na nakita ko yung simple jam recipe na yun. Nagkaron ako ng idea kung pano i-consume yung sour frozen fruits. Na-counter nung honey yung asim kaya palatable na sya for me.

Since puro karne kami last time, naisipan kong lutuin naman yung salmon. Simpleng bake lang with garlic butter. I partnered it with quinoa and veggies para ma-utilize ko yung zucchini at bellpeppers. Gusto ko lang ng konting crunch kaya nilagyan ko ng potato chips on the side.

Binagoongang tokwa’t baboy with talong

Eto mainit-init pa. Kakaluto ko lang kanina. Tofu at eggplant lang talaga yung nasa recipe pero since meron kaming tirang isang slice ng pork belly, isinama ko na. Happy ako dito kasi nagamit ko dito yung kamatis at talong.

“Ang Lalandi Nyo!”

You have full access to this post because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍

Super kinilig ako nung dumating si Kenneth from his 3-week vacation. Pagbigyan nyo na ko dahil minsan lang kami ganito. Kasama ko pagsundo sa airport yung isa naming couple friend (thanks for volunteering sa pagsundo kay Kenneth!) Nung tinanong nila ko ng, “Excited ka na?” Nagpakipot pa ko. Sabi ko sa mga pasalubong ni Kenneth ako excited. Pagdating namin sa airport, nakita ko na sya agad. Pagsakay ni Kenneth sa sasakyan, kausap ko si Kosh tapos si Kenneth nakanguso na. Eh parang nahiya naman ako na kinakausap pa ko tapos bigla kaming sweet-sweetan sa harap nya. Ilang seconds lang naman tapos pinansin ko na rin si Kenneth. Sabi ko, “Hiii.” tapos sabi nya, “Hiiii.” Tapos parang tinawanan kami nung dalwa. Gusto ko syang i-hug pero ewan ko bakit ba ko nahihiya dun sa dalwa haha.

March Recap

Out of sorts ako ngayong month na ‘to. Kung ano-anong iniisip ko. Magbabakasyon kasi si Kenneth sa Pilipinas, and although I’m excited for him kasi this is the first time na uuwi sya since nag-move kami dito sa Canada 7 years ago, I will be lying kung sasabihin kong 100% excitement yung nararamdaman ko. I’m just overall worried. Plus first time kong magsosolo sa bahay at hindi ko alam kung anong i-eexpect. Sobrang maiinip ba ko? Magiging mabait ba si Kenneth? Baka may mag-break in dito sa bahay! Kenneth will be gone for 3 weeks and being alone here—especially in this new city—is a foreign concept to me.

What I Spend in a Week | Household “Essentials”

You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍

First, my best buy and bye-bye of the week:

Best Buy

This $10.37 paper blinds. As in papel lang talaga sya, but it does the job. Wala pa kaming pambili nung blinds na gusto namin kaya ito muna pansamantagal. Natuwa ako dito kasi dumilim yung office ko somehow. Nakakairita kasing tumambay dito pag tanghali tapos sobrang liwanag. Mas nasa mood akong gawin yung mga gagawin ko pag madilim. Pansin ko na noon na mas ganado akong magsulat pag madaling araw at gabi. Mas relaxing lang. Kaya lagi akong niloloko ni Kenneth na vampire.

Home Chef No More

I miss hearing Kenneth say, “Wowwww..” everytime nagluluto ako. Medyo nakukulitan pa ko sa kanya dati kasi araw-araw nya kong tinatanong, “Anong pagkain natin?” Pero ngayon, wala nang nagtatanong ng ganun. Nami-miss ko yung dependency nya sakin pagdating sa food. Yung dating annoying, hinahanap-hanap ko na ngayon. Ugh life.

Happy Things #21

Since medyo malungkot ang previous post ko, it’s time for my recent happy things!

Byeeee!

Last day ko na bukas!! As much as I love this job, I’m not sad about getting a nice long break from sitting and typing all day. Nung nagpaalam ako sa boss ko na mawawala ako ng almost 2 months (pero binanggit ko rin na willing akong bumalik after that period), ang dali nyang kausap! That same day, nagkaron agad ng arrangement na last day ko sa January 31st (bukas), pero pababalikin nila ko sa April. Favorite na kita TL!

My current job is seasonal/contractual kaya may ganitong hanash.

Received a weird question from Kenneth:

“Ang pepper ba ay may salt?”

Umiling ako.

“Bakit parang maalat sya?”
