Wednesday Special

Buffalo wings recipe is very common here when you go to a bar
and grill place. Some would want it serve with cold beer or soda,
but bar and grill is not the only place that knows how to make
Buffalo wings, we do too.



Chicken wing is the main ingredient, vegetable oil, flour, hot
sauce and butter is also needed. My husband and I will like it
with fresh carrots, celery and ranch for dips. The recipe will
taste even better if it’s being prepared cheerfully. Try it, you
will love it!

Because of Pancit

Pancit is a food very common to all Filipinos and personally
it is one of my favorites. Whenever we meet someone here that
has visited the Philippines they always say that they like pancit.

In my prior post I mentioned a place named Harleys that my husband
and I go to almost every Sunday that serves free barbecue buffet.
If you want to bring a special dish for all the people to enjoy
they appreciate that. One day my husband and I agreed to bring
pancit. When we reached Harleys, I handed the dish I had prepared
to the bar tender and gladly he said, “Thank You.” As we listen
to the music of the band, the bar tender approached us and asked
if the food that we brought was pancit. I said yes and I asked him
how he knew about pancit. With smile in his eyes he said that his
mom is from the Philippines and used to cook the said food for the
family.

What a small world. Because of pancit my husband and I made
someone smile. Isn’t it great? Before we left the place he said
that he missed having it and that he truly appreciated the dish.

I miss you... Mango!

Mango is one of my favorite fruits. It is also one
of the most delicious and nutritious foods and it's
a good source of vitamin A.


Yellow mango especially when sweet tastes good.
Eating it plain, or maybe make a dessert like mango
float, mango glaze or mango shake will for sure make
your day. I missed it back home. Although we can
still buy mango here the green mango is just hard to
find. I like it with bagoog (fermented shrimp paste)
or a shake out of it.

Congee for rainy day

Back in the Philippines, I always like to have soup during
rainy days especially when it’s served hot.



Last Tuesday when the rain poured heavily the whole day, I
decided to cook something that will at least give a balance
to the cold atmosphere. Congee is the recipe. Rice, chicken,
ginger, black pepper and green onions are the main ingredients
that I used. I had kalamansi (a small citrus fruit)and patis
(fish sauce)for flavor enhancement while my husband had soy
sauce.

We both enjoyed the food as we watch the rain fall by the window
pane.
