cooking mode

First of all, I am not a good cook. That one i truly admit. But i always try my best to learn new things when in comes to cooking. I seldom cook, mostly prito lang. But I have 2 recipes now that I wanna share with moms like me na hindi naman ganun kagaling sa kitchen. BElieve me, this is super easy, baka matalo nyo pa si Judy Ann sa Ysabella pag natikman to ng hubbies nyo LOL

So ito na... good luck sa ating lahat..

BBQ NI PEACHY ( sorry , wala na ako maisip na recipe name)

Ingredients:

1 Kilo Pork ( basta ung ginagamit sa BBQ )
1 pack Clara Ole BBQ Marinade
minced Garlic
sugar

Lets start:

1. Ilagay yung pork sa bowl or something like a tupperware for marinating, then pour the clara ole BBQ Marinade.

2. I put on minced garlic para mas yummy and about 2 teaspoons of sugar para a little sweet and saucy sya later on. ( when the sugar melts, parang nag caramelize sya, o diba?!)

3. Marinating overnight would be the best option.

Ito na ang secret .. how to cook..

1. In a small casserole, pour the pork with the marinade. WAG lagyan ng oil ha?! As in the mixture and pork lang. PArang simmer lang sya. You will notice na mag thicken ung mixture nyo. It means your on the right track hehehe. Then mejo reddisch brown ung pork. Switch off na ang heat.

3. THen in a non stick pan, pour a little oil ( little lang po, di naman sya deep fried), then fry the pork in low heat. Dapat hinahalo habang fry while pouring in some of the thickend marinade from the casserole. You can use a spoon while pouring in some mixture during frying.

4. Mapapansin nyo na saucy na the pork BBQ :) Pag hindi saucy, naku, may mali kang nagawa hahaha!

5. Since na simmer na sya, sandali na lng sya i fry. Wag Sunugin ( do i really need to say this pa ba?! LOL)

6. Kung may natira pang marinade sauce, You can add this to a fried rice, syempre while u are frying the rice, add nyo lang sya. Gelo would sometimes pour the remaining sauce sa white rice na mismo.

Ayan, hindi nman sya mahirap di ba?! Promise mas masarap yan sa luto ni Ysabella. LOL

Try it out and tell me kung masarap ha. Kung hindi, turuan ko kayo, punta ako sa Bahay nyo hahaha..

Here's a Pic of the Clara OLe BBQ Marinade. I Think may spicy variant na din sila.



Watch out for my next recipe.. The Korean BBQ pork steak ! GOOD LUCK!

Happy Birthday Sierra

Last SUnday, July 8, we attended Sierra's 1st birthday at Hard Rock Cafe Makati. Sierra's Dad, Patrick, is Gelo's bestfriend since High School. Her mom Erika is my dear friend since we starterd preparing for our wedding last 2005.

Let me give you a brief background about Erika and I muna. She got married last May 2005, June 2005 naman ako. We share almost the same suppliers then. Venue, Gown Designer, FLorists, musicians,jeweller, etc . When we got pregnant, we would always talk to each other over the phone, and would most of the time see each other on our free weekends. I just miss those days... We got busy with life after giving birth.. but we always keep in touch. And we make it a point to see each other at least once a month.

So back to Sierra's birthday..

Joaqui was asleep a few minutes after we arrived. His pics at the on site Photomug looks like he is under drugs LOL. Poor baby. So We ( gelo, my sis and I ) enjoyed the buffet coz we are not bugged by the little boy. Ang dami ko tuloy nakain. Joaqui woke up in time for the magic show. (poor thing, the battery of our cam was low batt already). He claps his hands and keeps on touching Sierra. Hehehe.

I had fun during the ventriloquism act of Flooch. As in nakakatawa kasi sya and his puppet. I wasnt able to get a balloon from the balloon burst. Buti na lng may sobra sa prizes, Erika gave one to Joaqui. The lunch bag give away was filled with yummies that I enjoyed like marshmallows, jelly ace, and cheese balls!

To Erika and Patrick, congratulations for throwing such a wonderful party for your little girl. And hope to see you sa opening ng Nail Spa nyo sa Greenhills ( ayan, Advertisement na ha).

And of course, to my dear inaanak Sierra, Always be a good girl just like mommy ( di naman to siguro mababasa ni Patrick LOL). We are always here for you coz we love you! Cant wait to see you bloom into such a pretty girl!










We don't have pics with the birthday family in our cam kasi nag low batt eh. But we have pics from Ging Lorenzo :)
