Pork Spareribs Adobo Delight

Pork Spareribs Adobo Delight

 

Hi! It's nice to be back after a long long time :) I honestly feels so happy to be back :)
Maybe this time, I can have more time to post more recipes here :), hope so...

Lately, my life was just like a roller coaster :( 
Space may not be enough to tell the whole story why, but I am moving forward one at a time, thinking what will be my next step to face tomorrow :).

While I'm at home, I am playing the role of a full time Mother to my two (2) "super kulit" girls. Then few hours ago before dinner time comes, they both requested me to cook some food to be serve later once their Papa arrived at home from work. 

When I asked them what they want, they both replied "Mama, puede po Adobong Spareribs, for sure madami po kami makakain". I really felt the excitement on their face and so I just replied them with a smile.

While cooking, I realized how time really runs so fast, I might have few hours to spent with them in the past since I am working and used to manage My Little Angels Online Shop after work. 

But the coming days might be different from what we used to do. God permits us to be together all day long. An opportunity to guide them in doing housing chores, watching television while exchanging views and sharing stories of anything under the sun. I want to enjoy each moment with them while they both at summer vacation. 

Ingredients:

1 kg pork spareribs and/or liempo
5 cloves of garlic pounded 
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp ground pepper 
2 tbsp Mama Sita's barbecue marinade
1 sachet Maggi Magic Sarap
2 tbsp cooking oil 
2 tbsp butter
2 pieces hard-boiled eggs

2. Marinade for at least 1-2 hours.
3. In a pan, transfer the marinated pork, cook for few minutes at medium heat.
4. Let it simmer, remove all dark bubbles on top.
5. Add cooking oil and water. 
6. Let it simmer, stir once in a while until becomes medium cook.
7. Add barbecue marinade and butter then stir to make it saucy adobo.
8. When done, move out pan from heat.
9. Serve with hard boiled egg on side and hot plain/fried rice. 
10. Share and enjoy!

During our meal time, I thanked God for the foods present at our table and how my kids appreciated them. Much more than that, I thanked Him for my kids who keeps on cheering me up, when everything seems so wrong and helpless.

For my kids, thank you so much for making me feel perfect despite my imperfection; 

loving me completely even on times that I feel empty;

In my heart, both of you will always be My Little Angels forever :)

In times, I might felt lost and had no purpose at all in life.
Then later realized, I have so much more to do, so much more to share to others and so much more to learn from others who will comes on my way :)
I just need to continue DREAM BIG & WORK HARD to make them all possible.

So from this day onward, I promise to challenge myself for all positive opportunities ahead rather than to feel pity about time spent for yester-years.


Thanks a lot for viewing and reading :)
May you keep on coming back for future post, hehehe...
God bless us all always, take care :)

Buko Pandan Salad Special

I am proud to share with you this recipe made with the effort and personal touch of my eldest daughter, Sophia Camille.

Lately, I noticed how "Ate Camille" as we always called her, started to showed her interest to cooking. She used to stay beside when I am starting preparing for our meal until its done.

She used to named foods and asked me if I knew how to prepare it. Evey time I replied yes, she then immediately asked me to please teach her how to make it. She always asked me when will I start teaching her how to cook. When I asked her why she wanted to know how to cook as early as her age,she will then replied, "Mama, there were kids younger than me who joined recently ended Judy Ann's cooking show, the Junior Master Chef."  Maybe those little kids really influenced her to show up her interest into cooking as early as this time.


As starting point, last Saturday I teached her how to prepare one of her favorite dessert. From jelly preparation, cutting, blending of mixture until its completely done. I saw the excitement on her face while preparing for this foods, finding out what will be the results of her effort as well as the reactions of her tasters when served. 

It's serving time... I just noticed how she smiled and snobbed when her Papa and sister, Iya Samantha, told her, "Wow, ang galing na ni Ate Camille magluto, uy mag-a-asawa na yan, kaya nagpapaturo na kay Mama"...

Ingredients:

6-8 pieces Buko, thinly strips, drained well
1 pack flavored gulaman, prepared according to package instruction, cut into squares
1 bottle Nata de Coco, drained and set aside
1 250ml All Purpose Cream
1 300ml Condensed Milk

Preparations:

1. Blend all purpose cream and condensed milk in a bowl
2. Add gulaman cubes, nata de coco, buko meats to the cream mixture
3. Chill for 2-3 hours or overnight before serving
4. Optional: may served ala "Supreme"

Supreme Service:

1. Get 2 glass punch bowls, one must be slightly bigger that the other.
2. Put ice cubes and about 2 cups of water in a bigger bowl.
3. Put the smaller bowl on top of the bed of ice, then place desired serving size of prepared salad
4. An elegant presentation to chilled foods.

Then suddenly I realized, time really runs so fast. Our little baby now started to find and explore herself to learn new things into this magical world.  

We cannot control the movement of time. I just prayed that she remains smart and simple until she reaches all her dream in life.

Let me share with you some picture of her when she was still 2 and 5 years old. We love you very much Ate Camille...

Again, thank you very much for viewing. God bless us all.
