I Miss Hubby :-(

Hubby's in New York for a business trip. I miss him so much.



This photo was from our NYC trip last 2010.

Come home safely, Hubby!

Fast Food Sunday

Our weekend was quite uneventful. Hubby was preparing for his trip to New York City and we travelled to Market Market to buy some pasalubong for family. We had a quick lunch at mann Hann.







After our errand at Market Market, it was still quite early. We went to mass and after that, we drove to Festival Mall to watch Green Lantern.



The movie wasn't that bad. The villain just got defeated way too easy. Of course, Ryan Reynolds was pure eye candy, ha ha ha.

We had dinner at Sbarro.







The dough of the chocolate Calzone was a bit raw. Not ordering that again.

We were home by 9:00 p.m. Old farts. Ha ha ha.

Pho Spices

These are the spices that I use for my Pho beef base: white onions, ginger, cloves, star anise and cinnamon bark.



I had pretty good results during my first try. Photo, someday, he he he.

Siomai

I just finished making Siomai for Hubby's midnight snack. This is a simplified recipe with no accurate measurements, just rough estimates, which is usual when I'm doing savory dishes.

Siomai

Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups lean ground pork
1 small carrot, finely chopped
2 eggs
1 to 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil (or less)
Japanese bread crumbs
Green peas, boiled
Chopped prawns
Salt
Pepper
Siomai wrappers
Oil for brushing

1. Mix the first 10 ingredients in a glass bowl until well combined. Mixture will be wet and feels a little soggy, but that's a good thing :-)



2. Wrap in siomai wrappers.

3. Place aluminum foil in the steamer basket, lightly brush the foil and the siomai with oil, to prevent the siomai from sticking together. This photo was taken in the utility kitchen, so ugly. Ha ha ha.



4. Steam until the pork is cooked, maybe thrity minutes or so.

Apparently, my housekeeper did not follow my instructions to brush the siomai with oil that's why they stuck together like this. Haay.



Make a dipping sauce by mixing calamansi and soy sauce together. Enjoy!

Filipino food... for the win!

Hilarious and so true!!!!! Bwa ha ha ha!

Date with my ex- boyfriend

After running a few errands in Tagaytay, my ex- boyfriend and I had early dinner at Uncle Cheffy's. Food was good.





My ex- boyfriendwas very attentive and even served me salad :-)

Hangover 2

Movie date! It's been months since Hubbby and I went inside a movie theater. Old farts. We watched hangover 2 last weekend.

Insanely hilarious but the story is very similar to the first one, just a different setting. There is nudity in the movie and it's the unexpected kind :-) He he he.

Also, most of the funny bits were already in the trailer.
