Kalderetang ITIK

noreply@blogger.com (Jesse) — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 12:35:00 +0000

Am craving for kalderatang itik (duck) so I decided to wake up early today and cook it for lunch…it so easy to make and here’s how:

in a pan, sweat and slightly brown chopped itik and set aside..using the same pan sauté garlic; onion (I suggest lots of onion); itik; salt & pepper and flavor enhancer (Maggi Magic Sarap)..pour in about 12oz of Sprite (serves as duck meat tenderizer) and simmer until the meat is tender (slow cooking will enhance the flavor of the duck meat). Add the liver spread and tomato sauce..lastly, add bell and chili pepper..though the liver spread will thicken the sauce, you can add-in bread crumbs to extra thicken the sauce and for texture…serve on top of steamy rice..SARAP!

A striking tagline “Help, not only because it feels good…but because we should” … It was a fulfilling experience to give service to others without expecting something in return…it was like bringing joy and happiness to these under privileges kids even for a short period of time when we did the feeding program last year.. It was a precious moment though it is a memory that I hate to embrace… instead, a more brighter picture of happy kids showing they have enough to live a comfortable life are more beautiful to see…at some point in time, I have to face the reality that not everyone can afford the comfort of life… I just wish for more generous people to walk and see through the path in helping less fortunate kids and families….

Best in Vigan "Pakbet compliment Bagnet"

noreply@blogger.com (Jesse) — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 10:30:00 +0000

On my second visit at Vigan, Ilocos Sur, I cannot resist but to try one of their famous delicacies the fried pork belly or “bagnet” and bring it home in Manila. Ilocano's may correct me, but i guess it is their version of Filipino dish "lechon kawali" same ingredients but probably differs on the process and preparation. Bagnet is nice paired with cold beer, but surely not for the faint of heart. It is best incorporated in another famous Ilocano dish called “pakbet” which I'd like to share how to make this healthy simple dish. Ingredients for pakbet are: Bagnet, bitter melons or ampalaya (soaked in hot water with salt to remove bitterness); eggplants, okra, medium sized squash; string beans (all the vegetables are cut into serving pieces); garlic; onions; tomatoes; ginger; fish paste or “bagoong alamang”; cup of water; Patis (fish sauce) and pepper to taste.

Here’s how:

In a hot pan, slightly sauté ginger, onions, garlic and tomatoes add fish paste then add in all the vegetables and water top with bagnet. Cover and bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until the veggies are cooked (best not to over cooked the veggies) add fish sauce and pepper to taste...serve over steamy rice..sarap!

Apple Courtesy of Wax Museum

noreply@blogger.com (Jesse) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:00:00 +0000

This was published by DereKenGavin shared on my blog.. a forwarded message from silvagerry2000 giving warning on eating apples.. Be Careful when eating apples Please don't eat the skin of the apple because it's coated with wax. Check before you eat many of the fruits. WAX is being used for preservation purposes and cold storage. You might be surprised

especially apples from USA are more than one year old, though it would look fresh. Becox wax is coated, preventing bacteria to enter. So it does not get dry. We all love to eat apple so better if we cut and peel off the skin before eating it or Eat Apples after removing the wax as shown in the picture.. Well, reading this message confirms my thought that not everything we read and see in the internet are true...

RelaxatIon teCHnique

noreply@blogger.com (Jesse) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 14:36:00 +0000

related topic about fatigue and stress by DereKenGavin shared on my blog. You may be one of the countless people plagued by fatigue – would this be physically or feeling mentally will leads a visit to the doctor. We all need a time out from stressful and exhausting activity at work. Experts says fatigue and stress comes partly from ignoring are limits in society where sleep and relaxation are lacking. Relax! Probably, each one of us has own techniques of relaxing, though no one method is better than the other. Mine is listening to relaxing music background like VIA DOLOROSA by sandi patty ...but you should consider these steps:

Breathing Exercise – a good and easy technique. 1.Sit or lie down in comfortable position then place your hand in your stomach 2.Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose then hold breath for a few second 3.Then, exhale all your air slowly through your mouth 4.Repeat steps 3 several times
Stretching Exercises -this is an easiest way to loosen or unscrew “knots” in your muscles. You can do variety of exercise like shoulder stretch; back bend and the likes.
Progressive Relaxation –this technique reacquaints your body with the sensation of muscular relaxation. It is a process of tightening and releasing, and feeling the sensations in your body. 1.Tighten your hand muscles by making a fist. Feel tension in your hand; hold this position for a few seconds. 2.Relax your fist, letting the tension melt away. 3.Repeat these steps with each muscle group in your body such as: your arms, face, back, neck, chest, stomach legs and feet.
Visualization – this technique is builds on the principle of mind over mater. It uses mental commands to reverse physical symptoms such as cold, sweaty hands. By telling yourself you feel warm and heavy, your body begins to relax; it learns to follow your thoughts. 1.Sit comfortably, loosen any tight clothing [oops…don’t get naked], close your eyes and try to clear your mind and picture a tranquil setting. 2.Mentally focus on your right arm, and think of your right arm to feel warm, until it feels warmer and heavier. 3.Visualize feeling calm, warm and relaxed 4.Repeat the same command with the rest of your body until you completely relaxed.
