Hi gals! Sorry late ako. Had to feed the family first. Stel, thanks for organizing this! Hello to everyone….

kain na!

Sisig! I didn’t have a whole pig’s head, so this is made just from the ears and a chopped up chicken liver. Boil/tenderize the ears (with some aromatics if you like), grill, then saute over high heat with traditional flavorings — salt, pepper, garlic, onions, a dash of soy sauce, a dash of pineapple juice, a dash of vinegar, chopped up Thai peppers.

Quickie Tira – Misu to the Rescue

“Tira” (leftovers)-misu because this is a “cake mistake” reincarnation — I made a fudge layer cake for my daughter’s confirmation party Monday, but in my haste I forgot to put the parchment paper in, so the cake stuck to the bottom of the pan and it broke — too ugly to be served at a party, so we had to settle for store-bought. However, I was left with the broken cake. So today I whipped up some zabaglione, added a bit of marsala, folded in some mascarpone, dipped sliced-up cake pieces in some strong Illy coffee and made this tiramisu.

Happy Birthday, Stel!!!

Karen, Schatzli, CeliaK, great to see you at the party! and how fascinating (and educating!) to meet everyone else. awesome party stel!
