Chicken Adobo Flakes

I often make this for Mark since he loves to eat adobo flakes for breakfast and I find the store bought ones a little expensive considering its quite easy to prepare

Ingredients:

One whole chicken breast (bone in)

One half bottle of adobo marinade ( i often use silver swan - Php 15 per small bottle)

3 pcs laurel leaves

a few peppercorns

one cup water

Procedure:

Mix marinade, laurel leaves, pepper corns and water.

Boil in chicken with mixture in low heat for at least one hour or until chicken is very tender and meat is separating from the bones.

Drain chicken from the sauce. Reserve sauce for later use.

When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from the bone and flake meat into desired thickness.

Put chicken flakes back to reserved sauce and continue cooking until sauce evaporates completely.

Place mixture in a container and freeze overnight.

Fry flakes in cooking oil until desired crispness is achieved.

Serve with salted egg and tomatoes on the side if desired.

Big Better Burger VS Hot Shots

Big Better Burger (BBB)









Versus




Hot Shots









Mark and I often eat out at Burger Joints when we go out. Gusto daw nya protein para pang build ng muscles. he he. Here's what we ordered at Big Better Burger (BBB) and Hot Shots.
Magkaibang araw yun ha? at medyo matagal na din pero ngayon ko lang naichika sa inyo.

Mark's Meal:


BBB - Jalapeño Burger (approx php 160.00)

verdict: masarap daw sabi ni mark. juicy yung burger nila at sulit na din. separate yung potato wages (approx php 50.00) pati yung cheese dip bukod bayad (approx php 25)


Hot Shots - Cheese Burger (approx php 130.00)

verdict: di nagustuhan ni mark. parang lasang luma daw yung cheese. may kasama namang potato chips on the side. medyo oily nga lang.








My Meal:


BBB - Fish Fillet (approx Php 160.00)

verdict: nagustuhan ko sya. crispy yung patty at juicy naman yung fish. i ordered tartar sauce on the side. yun kasi bagay pag fish fillet sandwich.


HOT SHOTS : Fishermans meal (di pa nga ko sure kung eto nga exact na tawag sa inorder ko, he he- approx Php 160.00)

verdict: fish sandwich din inorder ko kasi nga bihira ako kumain ng beef. suprisingly ok sya sa kin kahit may wasabe. masarap nung mga unang kagat pa lang. pero habang tumatagal, parang may kakaibang after taste na din sya kaya di ko din naubos.


Overall verdict namin mag asawa? Babalik ulit kami sa BBB at sa Hot Shots, malamang hindi na. he he.

Marianna's First Haircut

Ayan si Marianna bago kami umalis ng bahay. I call her "cousin it" from the adams family. Yung puro buhok? Di na kasi makita mukha at natatakpan na ng buhok.

After going to the Pedia for her Hepa Vaccine, we decided to have her hair cut sa Cuts for Tots sa Trinoma. Ayan muna ang mag ama at nagrequest pa na picturan ko sila sa harap ng store ng Nike.

Ayan sya as she prepares to get her hair cut. Pinikturan din sya dun para sa certificate (additional P 180.00 to the P 250.00 basic hair cut ) na may before and after pictures ng gupit nya at may kasamang strand ng hair. Babalikan namin yun after 2 weeks and I intend to get it framed. Lalagay ko yung certifcate sa room nya.

Ayan sya habang ginugupitan. Kung kailan malapit na matapos tska sya nag iiyak. Di nya kasi kilala si Barney. Puro barney kasi palabas ng tv dun. Hinahanap nya siguro yung mga Wonder Pets. he he.

Niloloko namin si Marianna nung natapos na gupit nya. Eh kasi naman sabi namin Dora style. E bakit parang mas kamukha nya si Diego. he he. Kamukha kasi talaga sya ni Daddy nya kaya ganun.

Marianna's 1st Birthday Celebration

Marianna's 1st birthday celebration was held at Mc Donald's victory mall branch. It was originally scheduled on the 26th but because of Ondoy, it was re scheduled on the 28th, which was exactly Marianna's birthday. Salamat din at pumayag ang Mcdo na iresched na lang dahil nga sa masungit na panahon. Lunes yung 28 kaya karamihan ng mga bisita namin, di nakapunta. But its ok, naging masaya naman party nya at may nakapunta din naman kahit paapano, namely Kuya ko, mama ko, mga anak ng kuya ko .... he he.




Eto ang bonggang cake ni Marianna, courtesy of Ninang Janeth. Thanks Ninang. Hindi nag papigil na kahit na malayo (saudi) ay nagpadala pa at sagot daw nya cake ng inaanak nya. Pati nga tong cake, naka sched for pick up nung 26. Nilusong namin yung baha at sinadya yung Red Ribbon sa Araneta Square at pinakilagak muna hangang makuha namin nung 28th.




Ayan si Mama, pag kakita kay Marianna, practice agad sila ng lakaran.



Ang mga ever loyal na ninang ni Marianna. Si Ninang Annie (right) galing Dubai yan, kasama din nya dun yung isang ninang ni Marianna, si Ninang Janice. Dapat flight nya pabilik 28th ng tanghali. Buti at naparebook at naka attend pa sya sa party ni Marianna. Si Ninang Romelia naman (left) galing field yan, nag audit, nag pumilit humabol sa party ng inaanak nya. Salamat mga ninangs. In fairness naman sa mga friendship ko at ibang ninang ni Marianna, nag sabi naman sila na di makakapunta because of the Ondoy factor.

PS. thanks sa gift Ninang Janice. Tuturuan ko si Marianna dun sa bigay mo at ng makapasa sa ibibigay mong quiz sa kanya pag dating mo sa Dec.




Yan si Bam, kasama mag ama nya. Ka office mate ko yan. Mabuti na lang at check up ni Gillian kaya tamang tama di sya pumasok kaya naka attend sila sa party ni Marianna.






Lola Rowena, Cousin Deanna and Tita Rio. Medyo na late lang si Lola kasi super traffic galing sa kanila sa Marilao. Si Tita Rose, Tita Rio tska Deanna naman sa amin nag stay since saturday kasi binaha sila sa Marilao.



And here are the crying factors. Si Ria, anak na panganay ng kuya ko, paakyat pa lang sa party area, rinig mo na umaatungal. Ewan ko ba dito, parang nagkaphobia at lagi na lang ganyan ang drama pag pupunta ng birthday party. Ang lakas ng tili, sigaw pa nya o "AYAW MCDO!!!!" tawanan yung mga nandun, tanong nga ko ng host nung party, si Jumel bakit Jollibee daw ba gusto? Sabi ko, lahat ayaw nya, KFC lang yata gusto. He he.





Tapos ang anak ko naman. Kinakantahan sya ng "Happy Birthday" dyan ng umiyak. Unang kanta ok pa sya e, pero nung pangalawa nung lumakas, ayan bumunghalit na ng iyak ang bata. Feeling siguro ng anak ko sinisigawan sya, he he.




Party games. Mas madami pa adults sa mga kids. Enjoy ang mga isip bata, he he.




Ayan ang Daddy, pilit isinasali ang anak sa dance number ni Kid Mc Do tska Birdie.



Message from Mommy to Marianna: "Sana lumaki ang anak ko na masunurin, mabait, may malasakit sa kapwa, malusog at di iyakin" (Nag iyak pa din sya eh. Oh well, wishes doesn't come true instantly)

Message from Daddy to Marianna: "I hope she grows up like her mom, sweet, understanding and God fearing" (Oh di ba? Pogi points para kay daddy!!!)






Happy 1st Birthday Anak. Mahal na Mahal ka namin ni Daddy mo.
