| Never a great fan of lo bok until this dish. I used a peeler for each thin strip instead of slicing them. Came out long and soft. It went so well with the ground pork and diced potato. I can have more lo bok next time for a not so filling dinner instead of pasta, rice or bread. |
 |
| The green stuff is a new vegetable I found in the market today. When asked about how it is cooked, the lady was kind enough to slice them for me with the instruction to cook them with mushrooms. I bought another one to take this photo with. |
 |
| This is it, parboiled and then sauteed with mushroom and garlic in olive oil. Tastes like mustard stalk, bitter. |
 |
| My version of talong relleno (eggplant omelette) Over long distance call, asked my sis how it is made. I opted for the plain eggplant filling in the omelette hoping to be reminded of my Mom's home cooked meals. |
 |
| Nothing conspicuous with the outward appearance but this variety is fibrous. The stringy part is what I recalled of it. I'll do the same thing with the second piece for son to try later tonight. Hubby and I had finished the one in the uppermost photo. Actually, he just took a bite. Knowing him, he would say: "It means more to you." For son, I shall fry half of it and make a salad of the other half. We can tell if he got my penchant for food if he can tell the difference. It is not only fragrant, but sweet and juicy as well. Thank you so much Aleta, Socky and Willy. |

| Bade a quarter of a loaf bread in the ref goodbye lest it staled. Sliced the bread crust , diced the bread baked in oven till crisp and brown. Remember my home made Choco Banana Jam ? Into it, dipped the sticks, with it, coated the cubes. With this handy bottle of jam at hand, who is afraid of loafing around? |
 |
| Oh, and this one too Choco Banana Milkshake Several spoonfuls of the jam plus milk. |
 |
| Put these frozen parboiled chicken pieces into the pot, Added a few pieces ginger and lots of garlic, then when it is partially cooked, added an American cucumber. The broccoli rabe were added right before serving time. Quick and easy meal for a lazy Saturday. |
 |
| My home made Jam A bottle of Chocolate Banana Jam and Choco Banana Blueberry Jelly. The angel beside them is to tell you how heavenly they are! |
 |
| Can you tell which is which from their color? Hmmm, It should be fully packed with no spaces but don't worry, the whole thing will be gone in a week's time. |
 |
| I am one banana short and the sugar's all I have at home. I don't know how it would matter so just kept going. Also realized that the chocolate is sweetened and the bottles one too many but no big deal. Did you notice that there are no blueberries in the photo? Well, there happened to be a lot more chocolate mixture left sticking on the sides of the pan so I added some water and blueberries to it, let it boil and filled another empty bottle. Next time I'll be making my own Mayonnaise. For more this Choco Banana Jam |
