Hotdogs wrapped with crescent rolls!

You probably wonder is it really easy to make the crescent rolls? It is, but just the waiting for the dough to rise is the hard part. :-). In the the West, particularly in the US, you can just buy the dough in the grocery store and ready to bake. The crescent  dough was made by Pillsbury. Unfortunately here in the Philippines it’s very hard to get any Pillsbury product. Since me and my family are into crescent rolls. I have to do some researching on the net for a good recipe. I found one that I tried and it’s good.

Delicious Homemade Biscuits!

My family really likes eating biscuits. As you know living here in the Philippines we don’t have those Pillsbury frozen products on our supermarkets here like what the supermarket in the West have. If they have here it’s just so limited. So to keep up with some food that my family are kind of used to when we lived in the States. With the net nowadays I can cook anything even with the ingredients in the Philippines sometimes are limited, still I can cook it. Lol

Pork chop with caramelized onions!

Bob and I like watching a good cooking show. One of the shows we liked to watched were Gordon Ramsey’s “Ultimate Cookery Course”. It’s really a great and learning show for me. So for my first menu I tried the Pork chop. I went to the market last Sunday. While there I bought  my pork chop there. As you know here most meat stands when they sells pork chop it was chopped to about an 8th to a quarter of an inch, so it’s thinner than the pork chop that I wanted. So I went to the meat vendor that I always go to in Bankerohan and told the owner of the stall what I want. She said to tell her butcher what I just told her. I told the in-charge if he could cut me 4 pieces of pork chop and about an inch thickness.  He gladly did it for me.

Tonight I cooked the pork chops. I seasoned the meat with salt & pepper. Cut the side of the chops where the skin  about 2 inches apart. While waiting for my meat to be at room temperature. I prepared the other ingredients, chopped the onions. I cooked the onions first. Cut the onions. Put the pan on the stove to heat a little then put some canola or olive oil not smoking hot. Then put the onions add salt & pepper. When the onions starts to turn glossy put about a half to a tablespoon of sugar and keep stirring until color brown or to your liking. You can add red wine vinegar to the onions or balsamic vinegar. Up to what you felt like putting. Put in the bowl and set aside.

Wash the pan where you cooked your onions. Put in the stove for a few minutes to make the pan hot. Then pour like 3-tablespoons of olive oil. Make it hot, then put the pock chop and maybe like 3 cloves of whole or a little smashed garlic with it. Let it be cook like 3 minutes in each side. While the chop was cooking put about 3 tablespoon of butter, using the spoon keep on putting the oil and butter mixture on top of the pork chop while its cooking to keep the pork chop moist inside. After cooking, put the pork chop in a plate and if you like garlic squeezed the cooked garlic on top with the pork chop and let it rest for like 5 minutes.

Have fun trying and eating you guys!

Home cook hotdog spaghetti!

Bob and the kids asked me to cooked something for them for lunch one day a few months ago. Bob just told me what they saw on the internet. The kids were so excited and really beg for me to cooked it for them. I am really a softy when it comes to my family, so I told them okay I will cooked it for them. Luckily I have my sous chef at the house at that time. Really my niece Glenda almost always my right hand in cooking. So I explained to Glenda what we are going to cook and she understood what I’m talking about and she started to boil some water for the pasta.

Prepare water on the pot to boil. While waiting for the water to boil, I started gathering the other ingredients. I got the hotdog cut into 4 slices. After cutting the hotdog get the pasta and start to poke on the hotdog. Put maybe like 6-8 pasta in each hotdog slice. Drop it in the boiling water until the pasta became aldente. Drain and put aside.

Please vote wisely!

Wow its been awhile since I wrote something here. I was thinking of doing some other stuff on this site. As the saying always goes that we woman really changed our mind more often than we ever think of. But I really am wanting to write more often now. I am going to write anything that comes up to mind.

It’s almost election time here in the Philippines. It’s going to be in May this year. Right now I could already hear a lot of the cars or tricycle having the advertisement over the microphone for the candidate they want to endorse. A lot of the candidate not just the one running for the presidents made a song for their slogan. The kids even memorize it. I know of it because my youngest son was really singing one of the song of the presidential candidate. I didn’t even know at first. I asked him what song was that? he said its for the presidential candidate. I mean he really know every lyrics of it. He believes with this candidate at first. He said he will vote for him because he can really help with the less fortunate people here in the Philippines. Wow I can’t believe my son was really so in with the politics here in the Philippines. The only thing he could not vote right now. We told him how can you vote you are not old enough to vote plus you are not a citizen yet of this country. Hopefully soon.

Now my son said he will believe with this candidate if all the poverty in the Philippines will be wipe out. We told him keep dreaming. That ain’t gonna happen my dear. But try to keep on wishing and praying though. Honestly I have some candidates in mind but I know they just don’t have no chance of winning. Really I just want somebody that can help improved how the government works for the people here. I hope they will not put the money to their own pockets, instead make more projects for the benefits of the poor people. I saw too many people suffered. Its unbearable sometimes to see.

To all Filipino citizen that lives abroad I know you can vote. I am sure you can inquire in the embassy or the consulate in the country you are residing in. Please try to vote wisely and think of a candidate that really makes the Philippines better. I know its not easy to choose but try to know the candidates now. I am not telling you guys who to vote but I am just saying don’t be bought out by a nice talk. Make sure you vote whats really in your heart.

HERE ARE THE NAMES OF CANDIDATES  THAT’S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT AND THE PARTY:

Vetallano Acosta (KBL) VP: Jay Sonza, Benigno ” Noynoy” Aquino 111 ( Liberal Party) VP: Mar Roxas, JC  de los Reyes (Ang Kapatiran) VP: Dominador Chipeco, Joseph “Erap” Estrada (PMP) VP: Jejomar Binay, Richard “Dick” Gordon (Bagumbayan) VP: Bayani Fernando, Jamby Madrigal (Independent) VP: none, Nicanor “Nicky” Perlas (Independent) VP: none, Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro (LAKAS-KAMPI-CMD) VP: Edu Manzano, Eduardo “Eddie” Villanueva (Bangon Pilipinas) VP: Perfecto Yasay, Manuel “Manny” Villar (Nacionalista) VP: Loren Legarda.
