Christmas to other people may seem faraway yet in Carmina's world it comes early preparing ahead of time. Carmina had received her boxes that she had shipped out from her California vacation. Carmina's family had given her some stuff to give away for Christmas. Carmina started thinking how she would like to pack her upcoming Christmas gifts. I wanted to do something different this coming year rather wrap it up wanted to make look special. Long time ago Carmina use to make loot bags when came home from vacation giving my co-workers and friends some goodies. I felt can do the same thing just for Christmas any age would appreciate my gift coming from me. Over the weekend just stayed home trying to figure how I can do it began looking online at the TikTok Shop. I had to measure to see which would fit the item that going to give out. I came across from Christmas loot bags from Little Emily Shop TikTok Shop. I had asked the seller if you can pick the color and design was told it i...
This New Year's Eve I've decided to go out and explore and cook something different this year. I came across making Mexican food on my own.
I've been searching in
the Internet looking for the best Mexican rice to make at home in the
Philippines. I had checked so many recipes and it keep asking for Calde de
Tomato Bouillon. Unfortunately we don't have that where I live I went to search
more to see what I can use to substitute for something that might be available
for me.
I read you can use
tomato soup, but there are so many sugar content so I decided not to use that
one either.
I was thinking to myself
how I can make this authentic as possible for me to make it home and still
taste delicious as you are eating in a Mexican Restaurant.
I decided to change the
cooking ingredient to something else. I will be using fresh tomato and see who
knows it would work better than what it is asking me to use.
I will be exploring
making my own way and see which is really best.
I decided to fry the long grain rice what I have seen in the Internet they say, the long grain rice will enhance it's nutty grain and add flavor to the dish.
I decided after I fry
the long grain rice I will place all the ingredients in a rice cooker this way I can
determine the rice being cooked.
In the Internet it says's
use one cup of rice not sure why. That doesn't seem to be enough to feed
everyone who has a big family.
This is my outcome of my
Mexican rice became successful in one shot.
