Dried Pusit Fried Rice
Here is another breakfast dish that will surely brighten up anyone’s day.
Aldrin and I both love dried pusit, we can finish off one 500-gram pack in just one sitting. With sukang may bawang at sili na sawsawan, you just can’t go wrong. I specially love Pinakurat or the hot and spicy Datu Puti Suka.
Fried Dried Pusit
I used dried pusit to jazz up our ordinary sinangag. It’s as easy as 1-2-3, and one of those that you can call 10-minute kitchen wonders, like one of my favorite local cooking shows, QuickFire in CH.11.

Fabulous Sumptuous Dinner!
It’s been a week since my last post. I have been very busy with house de-cluttering and wrapping gifts for the holidays. We also went to Batangas for the debut of Aldrin’s sister.
Yesterday, we went to the grocery to buy food and other home supplies. While I was there, I decided to cook something special for the night.(yeah, compulsive impulses) I envisioned a plate of cheesy mashed potato, beef steak with warm gravy and for side dish, penne with garlic and bacon bits. And so, that was the menu for last night.

Halloween Graham Cake
As promised, here is a picture of the Halloween Graham cake that I made for Sam and Ley’s Halloween party. To make this, just follow the recipe for the Oreo Graham Cake that i previously posted then decorate with chocolate syurp, Oreo cookies and chocolate candies. Use your imagination. For the Christmas holidays, you can use red and green colored candy tapes and chocolate candies to decorate. Enjoy!
Sam and Ley very happy with their Halloween Graham cake

Century Tuna Bloggers’ Cook-off
Me and my family were at the Century Corned Tuna Cook-off for bloggers yesterday. Our friend and big time blogger 
Abe Olandres actually forwarded the invite to us. Thanks Abe! Century Tuna is a staple in our weekly menu. Our family loves Century Tuna Lite, Century Tuna in Brine and with Calamansi variants. I also like the Century Bangus with Tausi. So you could just imagine how excited I was to attend this event. 
Century Corned Tuna Bloggers' Cook-off
It was a Saturday morning, I checked my mails after breakfast when I saw the email from Abe. I texted April of HavocDigital (they are the ones promoting the event) and asked if we can still attend the event. When she replied yes, I finished all my chores and prepared to leave the house. The event was 3 in the afternoon at The Stock Market in Bonifacio High Street, The Fort, Global City in Taguig. Read more…
Hearty Chocolatey Breakfast
Nothing beats a warm bowl of champorado, and champorado is the star of this story.
I woke up pretty late yesterday at 7 AM (yeah, that’s already late) but I still managed to prepare a very hearty meal – instant Champorado! Specifically White King Champ-o-rado (free promotion, available in major groceries and supermarkets). I am not sure if you already know this product but its really good. It has real malagkit rice and very chocolatey. Just follow the package instructions, and voila! you have your yummy Champorado! My kids were pulled out of the bed by the smell of the hot champorado and boy, they were really excited to eat!
Champorado
Of course, Champorado is not complete without Evaporated milk (I always use Carnation, haha, another free promotion). I also served this with Spicy Dilis, you know, the red dilis? That’s it. Spicy Pusit would also be a very good partner or tuyo, anything salty actually is a good partner to champorado.
And so, a day has passed and my hubby is still not over the yummy champorado. He suggested that we ask his mom to cook authentic champorado when we visit them next week. (we’ll be going home to Mabini, Batangas for Sam’s birthday next weekend. Yey!) He said that we can buy the ‘malagkit’ rice at the grocery and buy tablea (tablea de cacao) on our way there. I’ll try to find coconut here and extract the coconut milk or maybe we can buy at the talipapa. I think Champorado would be yummier if served with a drizzle of coconut milk. Wow, thinking of it already makes me hungry. I’ll stop thinking about it for now. And that’s the end of my story. Next time, I’ll post the Champorado recipe, not instant.

As Sam my smart and beautiful daughter likes to say, (she got this from the LuckyMe commercial) “ang pagkain ng pamilya ay mahalaga”. So when you have the chance to cook for and eat with your loved ones, enjoy, its a wonderful bonding moment.
Have a blessed week everyone.
