Adobong Pusit

This is my version of Adobong Pusit

The things you will need:

ginger, garlic, and onion (chopped, sliced, diced, whatever you like darling)

of course, Pusit (squid)

don't forget the Ink Sacs

2T oyster sauce, 2T vinegar, 3T soy sauce, 1/2 cup sprite

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

here's how it works:

saute everything in oil

add in squid

then toss in the ink sacs, cook for 2 minutes

then add oyster sauce, saute till everything gets coated

pour in sprite (yes I got greedy, I has to put moaaaaar :3 )

Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. I know people would be saying "that's gonna be like chewin rubber".
NOPE! 15-20 minutes is enough for it to get tender. I don't have problems with overcooking squid, cause then I wont have any problems with having leftovers and having to re-heat them again :)

just remember that half-way through the simmering era of the cooking of the adobo, don't forget to add in the vinegar. just drizzle it on top and leave it covered. it is important not to stir after the addition of the vinegar.

a little salt and pepper to taste

Here is what its gonna look like after

Pork & Mushroom

I like how our freezer is so full of stuff after the holidays. But I'm tired of having to heat and reheat the leftovers. So I'm making something different for tonight's Dinner.

Here are the Ingredients:

Garlic

A can of Mushrooms

(frozen) Bacon Fat: but oil and butter will work fine

a bouillon cube; pork ofcourse

liquid Seasoning

Sliced Pork

Flour or Cornstarch

Let's start cooking!

Saute garlic in oil

toss in meat, and saute till brown

Add mushrooms, stir

pour in 1 water, bouillon cube, and pepper

Cover and simmer, when meat is done, make slurry and add in.
simmer for 10 more minutes

And Serve! :)

I was home alone with a sick kitteh so I decided to share with him the experience.
Hello Readers! meet Santiago :3

3Cheese-Tomato Ravioli

1 egg

3 teaspoons tomato paste

1/4 teaspoon salt

3T olive oil

60 ml water

blend altogether

Then add 1 cup Semolina Flour and 1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour

knead into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and chill inside the fridge for 20-30 mins

while waiting, mix together cream cheese, sharp cheddar, & parmigiano reggiano. I have no measurements for these
since I only found these scraps inside the fridge

roll out the dough and get creative. doesn't matter what shape you do,
as long as you seal them tight!

and here is the finished product. drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with some dried basil leaves.

After tasting, I realized two things. One, I should have included the dried basil into the pasta dough. Two, this needs sauce. Oh well. I only worked with items I could find. maybe next time :)

Say Cheese!

Sharp Cheddar + Cream Cheese + Parmigiano Reggiano
