I wanted to do this last week but some kind of got targeted of the word called "laziness" (~_~) ... that's why it's just now.. hemmm... it's not really interesting (I guess) but here's the food I made last week of which am missing and craving again now... (don't mind the date of the camera--it's one week late--, and etc. ahheheh..)...
ginataang-gulay(coconut milk mixed vegetables), fried fish, and paksiw na isda (fish stew)
By the way, here's my recipe of ginataang-gulay:
1 pack okra (sold in Asian or Oriental stores)
1 small bundle of kangkong
1 bundle mushrooms
1 pack big taro root(lavenderish color)
3 pieces onion leaves
1 small ginger
3 pieces big dried fish(optional)
1 big fresh ripe bell pepper(optional)
1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
Procedure:
(1.)Clean all the stuffs or wash again from refrigerator and set aside. (2.)Separate kangkong leaves from its stalk then cut squarely the taro root. (3.) Put the cut taro root into the pan and put 1 to 2 cups of water and boil, steam it for 1 or 2 minutes and after steaming, put the mushrooms, ginger, and bell pepper into it, then let it boil again. Then put okra, kangkong, onion leaves, dried fish , and the coconut milk. If you don't like to put dried fish or don't have any, just put salt to taste or knorr cubes. But take note if you otherwise put dried fish-- don't put salt anymore. And lastly, let it boil again. And done!
And about the fish stew, I just purchase that ready-to-eat and reheated for 1o minutes. It taste good when the mixed fish stuff soak for long minutes.
And about the fried fish, of course you know about it... (~_~) Enjoy eating!

Yep! I missed the cook of bamboo shoot already mixed it with preserved fish in a can soaked with a tomato in it - sardines, in bisaya dialect it's tinapa. I don't know if you're familiar with this folks but for me it's one of the best but it depends on my mode of taste, meaning it's not all the time. It will then become monotonous if you will have to eat such in more than one day, I know... because that's what I am... it's the food huh? (~_~) Don't think others... *wink*. Anyway, here's the recipe if you then like to cook some or just want to know what am I talking about, here it is:
Ingredients:
1 smallest can of bamboo shoot - about 200G (sold in oriental stores, in Asian lane stores)
1 can net wt. of 5.5 oz{155 G} sardines (choice of in tomato sauce chili added or any)1 or 2 cloves garlic1 smallest can of bamboo shoot - about 200G (sold in oriental stores, in Asian lane stores)
1/4 size of onion
cooking oil
1/8 cup water
Procedure:
- Open cans of preserved bamboo shoot and sardines.
- Sift preserved bamboo shoot in a can to remove water and set aside.
- Prepare frying pan, put in the stove, and prepare water.
- Heat up cooking oil and while heating-up crash the garlic and cut onion.
- As the cooking is heaten-up already, put onion and garlic and let it brownish.
- As onion and garlic brownish, put on the sardines and followed with water after being slightly cooked then, put the bamboo shoot. The bamboo shoot is already soft and just let it warm so not that long to cook.
- Let it stand for 3 minutes and done! Serve hot with rice and juice!
Happy cooking and eating folks! For now, I just have to wait 'til it will be afternoon and cook some. Whew! Am hungry already..

I didn't do much works this day- I update my blog, just went to church, 3 hours of window shop and some shopping, sleep and eat, and blog again. I didn't either bother to cook food. I planned to cook pork afritada and bamboo shoot with canned of fish as well as bake a cake but I got lazy besides my partner wasn't here for a half day. What I did is I just ate the leftover rice from last night and opened a can of tuna to have something on my stomache for brunch before I went to church dropped by my husband and he proceed to his office for overtime. He just brought foods for our dinner so, am relax for this Sunday unlike the last Sunday. I had my general cleaning yesterday so no need to clean much. I will just have wash clothes on Tuesday morning. So time management is in order. So then, I did not miss much vegetables this week because last Wednesday I did cook vegetables with coconut milk with fresh mushrooms; potato(in absence of taro root); spinach(in absence of alugbati); dried fish; fried fresh fish; with knorr cubes, ginger, and iodized salt. In Pinas, we call this ginataang-gulay, and here's what I had :
Did you see the dried fish and fried fish? click the image to enlarge
And my husband's dinner is fried chicken with collard greens, and red beans with small rice with white grape juice. (And mine is above )
It's buttered corn, mashed potato, fried chicken, and salad and soda. That's it. I can stand now to eat without rice once a day. Before, I used with rice in every meal. It seems I had not eat if no rice present.Well then, how's yours? Tell me some short about it.

Today is Sunday- A Catholic Lord's Day. This should supposed to be a relaxation day but opposite for me for am so very busy doing cooking, laundry, cleaning, e-social networking, and updating my blog! Well, it is because I don't have time for all of these tomorrow 'coz I will have to go to school- it's fulfilling though- that I have the courage to do all the stuff and be busy. Lately, I cooked ampalaya vegetable with eggs and salted shrimps fry. And also a kangkong (which we bought at the Asian market 2 days ago-Friday) soup with pork meat. Am glad my husband likes what I cook- usually he don't like vegetables- it's just seldom he eat when I cook vegetables unless it is lettuce for salad, spinach for shrimp soup, and potato for estofado. Anyway, the following pictures(fresh from my stove) is what I took from my missed and two of my favorite vegetables that i used to eat way back when I was still in the Philippines. Am just glad that I can still eat it here thinking that this is another country of different foods, culture, and lifestyle. My husband told me that I should have to learn eating American Foods and for that, am learning the taste of it now. Still, I miss what has been into my mouth before.. heheheh.. Am really glad that I can't miss that much knowing that there's still in here (imported already from Asian Countries and Philippines is one which it came from). Am really glad thanks God. (~_~)
