Today is Sunday- A Catholic Lord's Day. This should supposed to be a relaxation day but opposite for me for am so very busy doing cooking, laundry, cleaning, e-social networking, and updating my bl
og! Well, it is because I don't have time for all of these tomorrow 'coz I will have to go to school- it's fulfilling though- that I have the courage to do all the stuff and be busy. Lately, I cooked ampalaya vegetable with eggs and salted shrimps fry. And also a kangkong (which we bought at the Asian m
arket 2 days ago-
Friday) soup with pork meat. Am glad my husband likes wha
t I cook- usu
ally he don't like vegetables- it's just seldom he eat
when I cook vegetables unless it is lettuce for salad, spinach for shrimp soup, and potato for estofado. Anyway, the following pictures(fresh from my stove) is what I took from my missed and two of my favorite vegetables that i used to eat way back when I
was
still in the Philippines. Am just glad that I can still eat it
here thinking that this is another country of different foods, culture, and lifestyle. My husband told me that I should have to learn eating American Foods and fo
r that, am learning the taste of it now. Still, I miss what has been into my m
outh before.. heheheh
.. Am really
glad that I can't miss that much knowing that there's still in here (imported already from Asian Countries and Philippines is one which it came from). Am really glad thanks God. (~_~)

thanks on food menu tips.
To Vhing, yes there is kangkong in here and dried fish! a lot but my hubby wants me to learn to eat to be familiar with the taste of their food, that's why I just seldom cooked Pinoy Foods. Thanks for dropping-by! muahh!
