Skinless Longanisa

noreply@blogger.com (Jeanny) — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:47:00 +0000

I posted in my other blog that I love eating longanisa. The only thing that bothers me is the amount of salt it contains plus the preservative it has. So the fix.....

Tada!!!! I made my own skinless Longanisa. It's easy you just have to mix everything lang!!! :)

To do this you need:

Half Kilo Pork

1/4 cup brown sugar

3tbsp crushed garlic

3tbsp of vinegar

5 tbsp worstershire sauce

1 beaten egg

salt and pepper

Then.....

Just mix everything in a bowl (I used my hands). Then get a small amount of the mixture, fry it to know if it need adjusting in it's taste. I want a garlicky, peppery and a little sour longanisa so I add more garlic, pepper and vinegar. Then when everything is mix form into log and refrigirate.

Fry in a little hot oil.

Serve with fried rice and sunny side-up egg. Dont forget the vinegar with garlic. Hmmm!!!

That's it Pancit!

noreply@blogger.com (Jeanny) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:09:00 +0000

This is how I cook my pancit. :)

You'll need;

1/2 kilo pancit bihon

pork slices, fried

chicken liver

chicken breast, boiled and shredded

Broth

Veggies such as;

baguio bean, carrots, chopped cabbage, soaked tengang daga

garlic, onions, soy sauce,

worcestershire sauce or oyster sauce or bell pepper * :)

Here's what I do

Soak the pancit bihon noodles to soften for 10 minutes.

Grease a large pan or wok with oil. Sauté onions and garlic. Add the sliced veggies (in this order carrots, baguio beans, cabbage and tengang daga). If you want a spicy taste add bell pepper. Stir fry then set aside.

In a separate wok, saute onions, add pork, shredded chicken breast, chicken liver. Add the broth. Drizzle some soysauce depending to your taste. Add 2 tbsp of worcestershire sauce or oyster sauce. Simmer.....simmer. (I dont use shrimp, Im allergic to it by the way)

Now...

Mix in the pancit bihon noodles cook for about 5 minutes or until the noodles are soft.

Add salt and ~~more~~ pepper to taste.

Top with the stir-fry veggies

Serve hot with sliced calamansi on the side.

* I suggest that if you'll use bell pepper omit the worcestershire sauce or the osyter sauce. So you can really taste the goodness of it's spicy flavor. And that goes too if you'll use worcestershire or osyter sauce :)

Parentricity is a social network that was created that aims to help first parents find informative stuffs such as product reviews, advice, experiences from other parents too. It’s an exchange of information from one parent to another. So you could be sure that each product reviews are real and safe as it comes from real parents who actually used the products to their own kids.

I visited the site a while ago and I assimilated a lot from their advice section. Actually I got hooked reading everything. People there are so kind in giving advices. Another thing that interests me, they have a section for books reviews. It would be very helpful to parents who are looking for books for their kids or for themselves Instead of going to the bookstore, read their review first to be inform on what book to get that would be time saving.

Dont be Busted

noreply@blogger.com (Jeanny) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 17:24:00 +0000

With the economical drift that is happening, being a mommy right now is becoming a little harder. I am not a mom yet but I have lots of mommy friends telling me that, one of them is Mei. She’s living in the US with his husband Tim and two kids. Her last email told me that she’s feeling busted because of the economy but like any other girls, Mei found shopping an ultimate stress reliever. Great thing, she found out that Sears is offering 75-80% off original prices on fall and winter apparel until April 18. Thus it would be a great help for her to save.

Now another thing that made her more excited, she recently joined a constest sponsored by Sears. The contest is open to anyone who is a legal U.S. resident, and is at least 18 years of age. This campaign was launched to help out moms all through the US in form of $25 gift cards just by following Sears on Twitter @bustedmoms. The main highlight of Sears’ campaign is the $2,500 Mommy Makeover Package giveaway. Visit Busted Moms at bustedmoms.com to enter the cool contest and become a fan on their FaceBook..

Even though we are in the middle of the economical crisis, we can still live the life that we used to have. So get up there and enjoy life!
