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...
It is hard to cook in a kitchen that doesn’t belong to you.
The reason why I say this today I decided to cook what I had in my food pantry. Sometimes you get tired ordering food and decide to cook something random by the feel of wanting to use items you have left on your shelves.
The ingredients I had we’re the following:
1 – Box of Penne noodles
½ - Package of Red Cheddar Shredded Cheese
1 – Carton Organic Cow Milk
½ - Kilo Leftover Bacon
Our breakfast was bacon and egg. We had left over bacon decided to cook something from it other than eating it the same way over and over again.
At least the food I had along the ingredients was something I can whip up in someone else’s kitchen.
I went to Manang V’s kitchen while she was taking a nap.
I was looking for the pot, kitchen scissors and other items I needed to make my food.
No matter how hard I looked I figure Manang V had stashed her cooking utensils where she didn’t want anyone to find it.
In our home we have people who borrow items from Manang V and no longer return it after they have borrowed it. Manang V has a hidden place where she puts items I have bought for her to cook example kitchen scissors.
I didn’t want to wake up Manang V while she was taking her nap from the noise I was making she came out of room and gave it to me.
After I used the kitchen scissors I washed it and place it back in her hideaway this way it is only both of us know where it stays hidden.
