The Aftermath


How's your second... or first new year day? Depends on which part of the globe you're in ;) 

Woke up late again today. Spent most of the day disposing trash from my paper files and bin yesterday. One of those long overdue tasks! Whew! I bet you also spend seconds? minutes deciding which bag to place things eh? Guess what... I checked my daughter's "trash" bag and ended keeping some items I could still use in the office. Yellow pads, calling card holder, and the like. Hmmm... I bet she has already predicted this would happen! 

Now, did I just give you a valid excuse? I mean, for getting up late? 

Since New Year's Eve, I've been spending some time doing some space management before closing the fridge. So today, before leaving my bed, I knew exactly what to do... here it is!



First, the left-over baked potatoes and button mushrooms arranged in a platter with lettuce. Then I added a few pieces of Spanish sardines. But that doesn't end there. I seemed to have a craving for egg omelette. So here goes the Spanish Sardines Egg Omelette. 

Ingredients:
Oil
1 small onion, sliced thinly
1 medium tomato, sliced thinly
3 pcs Spanish sardines, flaked
3 pcs egg, beaten
Pinch of salt, Garam Masala (Indonesian spice)
1 small piece leek, curled and sliced thinly

Directions:
  1. Heat a few drops of oil in a pan.
  2. Saute onions, tomatoes and sardines.
  3. Pour sauteed mixture over beaten egg.
  4. Place egg mixture back on pan. Wait for egg to settle.
  5. Add seasonings
  6. Sprinkle leeks before serving with hot fried rice.



You may add a few pieces of sardines for a more spicy flavor and enjoy the aftermath of the holiday season. 

Oh, no, only two more days left and the long holiday break is over!!!

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is...

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
