learn new recipes

been too busy with work so i haven’t got much time to cook. that God for the holiday i was able to prepare dinner for my family.

two slices of toasts and a glass of soya milk—my breakfast this morning. :)

since my brothers are such kfc freaks, i decided to try this recipe i found out for dinner.

turned out well and taste almost the same as the orignal. the only drawback is the lack of KFC gravy. :)

Yesterday, I made onion rings for merienda. I just found out what makes it so tasty and crispy. And that’s half a can of San Mig Lite. Thank goodness my brothers didn’t get drunk haha.

As for dinner, I tried cooking beef with broccoli. Had to marinade it first for 5 hours so the meat will absorb all the flavor. I also learned that par boiling vegetables (boiling it for about a minute) will make the colors brighter. Also, incorporating egg whites in the marinade makes the meat tender (I just theorized this). The result, beef w/ broccoli that almost tastes like the ones we have in restaurants. :)

The pictures aren’t mine by the way. I just borrowed it. It’s hard to take photos coz once I place them on the table, they disappear immediately. Maybe next time I’ll take pictures of my concoctions. :)

Saw a recipe posted at an LJ community. I tried it for lunch this afternoon and it turned out really good. My brothers loved it! :)

Will definitely prepare this again, this time for dinner so my parents could have a taste. :)

i’m really happy cause i can now cook this recipe :)

my family loved it by the way :)

beef+bacon+chorizo+to-mah-to+basil+parmesan = yum. :)~

my mom’s so proud with what i’ve cooked that she gave some to our relatives. they love it! i’m happy. :)

too happy that i forgot about my tortured hands. cuts and burns all over. ouch! but it’s ok. as long as everyone’s happy :)
