Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
After the New Year’s Eve has ended my body feels so drain
from cooking a storm for the past month. I can’t imagine myself cooking every
day and have to cater to a lot of people. I feel drained from the month of
December when I had cooked for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Christmas
Party for the Employee and New Year’s Eve.
Wow! I look at all back the food I have cooked from the old
repeated dishes and new dishes I have made last year.
Now, we have added leftovers from all the occasion and we
don’t to eat it. But it becomes a waste
if we don't. We really have no choice to eat what was served.
I have found ways to eat our
leftover and make a dish to something new and no one who doesn't know how to
cook will know anything about it.
We have a lot of left over buttered
garlic shrimp, ground beef, salsa, Mexican rice, refined beans, pork barbecue, nacho
chips and tortilla.
This is my favorite part is
creating a new meal out of our leftover food. Why not make it into a burrito or
make nachos by adding everything all together.
All we need to do is reheat the food
and remove the skin and head from the shrimp. Remove the pork barbecue from the
stick and cut into small pieces.
Add melted cheese on the nacho and
now we have something new to eat.
I live in a household and so may not
know how to cook. They like it so much when I have a new meal to cook for them.
They may have eaten somewhere else, but they always look forward in what new dishes I have to cook.
The best part in learning how to
cook a new dish is sharing it in my blog. The best effort is when people who
eat it compliment on how it really taste. When you cook your own food you get
immune and you have no more taste as you repeat what you have cooked for so
many times.
The more you cook a new dish you
tend to change the way to cook it and make that dish improve its taste for the
better.
