Tips: Carmina Way to Hang Laundry with Less Space

Summer in the Philippines we tend to change our clothes several times in a day. Our laundry will come around double since we have clothes to wash daily due to the humid weather. Carmina needed extra space to hang her clothes, towel and beddings.  Carmina decided to look the same corner laundry rod that she had a very long time. It is useful because you can easily move it when someone else occupies the room. Carmina was able to find a different version from  Linlee Mall  Online Shopee Philippines for 411.00 pesos ($7.34) not including shipping and handling. I was watching the video from Linlee Mall to see how to assemble the adjustable sampayan clothes rack stand floor to ceiling tension drying rack hangers. It looks easy to the one I have right now.  There was a choice how many hangers you wanted. I decided to get the one with five hangers.  My item has arrived and was able to assemble without any tools needed.  Kindly watch the video to see how it looks so you have an idea just in cas

The Story of Dinuguan Dish and Its Recipe


Ever since I found out what dinuguan was made of I never ate it again when I was a child it use to be my favorite dish when I was a little kid.

One day my mom and I went to the grocery store in California where I grew up she had shopped at Magat an Asian Grocery Store in Union City and my mom decided to buy the ingredients of the dinuguan.

My mom began cooking the dinuguan in the kitchen as I was watching her cook the dish I saw my mom pour something that look like blood. I questioned my mom what was that she was pouring and she said it was pork blood. 

Ever since I saw the pork blood she had poured into the dish I had told my mom you are a vampire and ever since that moment I never went back to eat it until I grew older.

During the time I had celebrated my birthday and I had friends come over at my house my mom would cook dinuguan as one of the main dish and during that time we had called it chocolate meat. My friend love my mom's cooking and ask me what it was made of and I lied it was made of chocolate. 

Later my friend asked again for the recipe and wanted their mom to also make it for them that is when I had to inform my friends it was made of pork blood. 

Dinuguan is often eaten with puto (steam rice cake) or rice.
