Meringue everyone!

For the past month I have been making meringue here in my house. Bob saw the recipe on TV and he let me see it when they showed the segment again. I just memorized what the chef said and made a few changes. It’s really an easy recipe to make. I am lucky because I had my nieces and my kids who are into cooking also. So now, I will just tell them to make it, and in less than 20 minutes of preparation then its in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, really until the top of the meringue turned color brown.

Bob likes meringue a lot and so does our youngest son Jared. I made this meringue like a pie. Unlike the other meringue that we’ve made before that it looked like a small cupcake that swirl inside. Honestly it is not a difficult recipe to make. Maybe the hard part was just separating the egg whites and the yolks. It should be that no yellow mix in on the egg whites. The good thing the ingredients is easy to find in the pantry and fridge. It’s really a common ingredients even the sari-sari store has it always.

Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs (white only)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • a dash of salt

Procedure:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Beat the egg white with the blender, put the cornstarch and the salt. Slowly pour the sugar, keep beating until it is smooth. Really until the all sugar dissolve. When its ready, put in the grease cookie sheet and cook for about 25-30 minutes. Until the top of the meringue turn brown.

Have fun eating you guys!

I know how to make binignit

You know what?  Recently, I learned how to make Binignit, or if you are Tagalog you would call it Ginataan.  Binignit is a favorite Filipino snack of mine!  I always love eating it, but never knew how to make it until just recently.

I even wrote an article over on the Live in the Philippines Web Magazine, including the whole recipe of how to make it!

So, if you are missing binignit or ginataan, head over to LiP and get the recipe, I am sure you will enjoy yourself, both making it and also eating it!

Hang out!

A few nights ago the Bisaya teacher of Bob Bebe invited us to go and hear the music of one of her student. His going to perform live at Kangaroo Coffee shop. The show will start at 8pm. After Bebe was teaching Bob, the sessions ends like 6pm Bebe told us that she had to go home and feed her kids and she will come right back at our house before 8 o’clock for the show. So in between that time me and my nieces prepared our dinner too so that when we go to the coffee shop we will have our dessert there. Bebe was true to her word she came back at our house before 8. She waited a few minutes at our house because me and my nieces are not yet ready. While waiting her and Bob and the kids are happily chatting in Bisaya for Bob’s practice communicating too. By 8:10 off we went to the coffee shop.

When we got there, theirs already a lot of people there. The singer was already started performing. Bob told me that I will just order for everyone since its jammed pack inside. I did order and I asked the cashier to please bring our order outside since it is hard for us to sneak back inside to get what we order with so many people standing. He said “no problem ma’am”. So I went outside and joined Bob, Bebe and our 2 nieces Glenda and Dedeng. While waiting for our order we were listening to the performer. He was actually pretty good. Then in just few minutes the sound system went dead. We can’t hear anything from the singer. It’s okay because its nice to just talked with Bebe and my nieces too. Then all of a sudden the waiter came near our table and called  my name and told us to get our order. Really he could have just brought our order when he came and told us. I was not happy going inside to get our order passing through a lot of people. It’s pretty tight inside. That’s one thing I tried and don’t want to go to Kangaroo coffee shop because all of the other coffee shop here in Davao will deliver your order in your table. The thing is I saw some of their waitresses and waiters just standing behind the counters chatting a bit. For me I went there to relax and unwind. It just shocking to me that their waitresses and waiters can’t even just bring your food to your table.

Oh well, lots of coffee place here in Davao that we like to hang out too. Just go there and have fun and relax… I like Bose coffee club at F. Torres and SM, Bastis at Victoria mall, Fagioli along Bajada, Coffee Dream at SM, At Jack Ridge too, Kopi Roti I think in Jacinto. I like their bread there, Yummy…

Cheers!

Good Dinner!

Yesterday night I had a pleasure to have a friend that cooked for us. He was from the UK. His name is Steve. We knew Steve through John. They both live here in Davao. They were kind enough to come to our house and prepared dinner for us. I was kind of assisting and trying to learn from Steve on his good recipe. My mouth still drooling from it. Honestly all of us pig out that night. Can’t help it though.

Steve prepared a typical Sunday roast, with roasted potato, mushroom stir-fry, steam carrots and broccoli. Of course the yorkshire pudding(not a dessert). It was delicious. I am so proud to say that we made it from scratch. That was the first time that Steve made it himself. Usually in England he will just buy the dough from the store. Since we can’t find it here in the Philippines, I immediately look up the recipe on the internet. Amazingly I found it. I’m going to cook that stuff soon so that I won’t forget to make them. The roast it was so good. Steve rub lots of herb on the roast and put it in the oven for over 3 hours. It took that long because we have a big roast. After I make this stuff I will share some of the recipe here in my blog.

Soon I will be posting what I will cook for Thanksgiving and I will share some recipes too. Anyone that wants to share their recipe feel free to do so.

Have fun cooking!

Eating out with friends

Few days ago Bob, myself, John, Steve and their friend Harold meet up to have dinner. We decided to eat dinner at the Mediterranean Cafe at Chimes Mall in Governor Sales Street. It is really a good restaurant. We ordered some gyro llamb sandwich in peta bread. It was delicious. When we ordered we told the waiter that the gyro we want it to be our appetizer so we wanted him to bring that first. It didn’t happen he brought our main course first instead. I even told him in bisaya. I told him too that we want our drinks right away and he answered me back okay, but still it didn’t happened. All of us just sit there and stir at each other and smile about it. We didn’t complain or anything we just tried to figure it out why he didn’t listened what we say to him. We all ageed that maybe he just so nervous having few foreigner he has to served in our table. I even talked to him in bisaya so that he would be more comfortable. I felt sorry for the guy he just panicked. Some of the waiter are doing just fine. Maybe our waiter was just new.

That place really had good foods. They had lots of customer there. I want to go back there soon and try some of the other foods. I would really recommend to everyone to go and try that place. You would not be sorry you went there. Have agood eat there guys.
