Mycah’s field trip:

an
- Enchanted Kingdom- And lastly in Enchanted Kingdom – same as her Ate Steph she really enjoyed all the adventures inside with no fear she experienced all the rides.


Hmmmnnn My Mycah said , her admirers exchange seats with the others just to be seated besides her.




21 – my Stephannie’s volleyball team competed for the Bulprisa but sad to say they
got only the 4th place.



My Stephannie is always busy, from Monday to Friday school days, Saturday –practicing volley and then even Sundays she‘s practicing drumming (they form a band group now). Her complexion now is so dark but she never reduce weight though she‘s always tired. It’s good that she didn’t join this year in presidential election for the whole college level. She was the president when she was in 1st year and in 2nd year, now she’s in her 3rd yr, she quit the presidential (no more headaches). She said her study now is harder and harder so she wants to concentrate.

23 – Stephannie won the 1st place in poster making. On Oct. 14th she gonna compete again for the Provincial competition.

Eggs in my fridge

Eggs – Stuff my fridge should have. Eggs are one of the few nutritious foods that provide you with a delicious breakfast (even lunch or dinner). And mostly it’s one ingredient we use in some recipes, like as thickener for sauces, base for dressings, coating for breaded fried foods, leavener in baked products and more.

Egg - the easiest digestible, energy boosting protein and help level out blood sugar. Eating two whole eggs per day keeps you within your daily cholesterol range.

I store different kinds of eggs for my daily use.

White eggs and brown eggs(native), there’s no difference in nutritional value and flavor between the two. I often cooked it for breakfast as sunny side up (but the yolk should be broken – that’s the way my children likes their SSU) or scrambled or omelet or poaching or just steamed.

Poached egg....I'm not good in poaching even if I swirl the boiling water still it's in bad form.

Duck Eggs – a bit larger than chicken eggs, good for Leche Plan (popular Filipino Caramel custard - a dessert my children love to eat).



Quail Eggs – So cute and fun to eat. Sometimes I just hard boiled it for the bento of my kids, sometimes I mixed it in veggies, in my chicken pasta soup, or just coat it a flour mixture then deep fry.




Red Salted Eggs - immersed in super-saturated solution of salt for at least 2 weeks and then boiled and colored red. See the link for my old posting about this.

And oooops, I almost forgot this one…..

Century Eggs - Duck eggs preserved in lime, ash salt and clay for weeks. – I use this as toppings for my congee or porridge or lugaw)



2 kinds of Filipino lugaw – Arroz Caldo, a chicken porridge and Goto, an ox stripe porridge.



And one kind of an egg that I haven’t bought yet is an Ostrich egg. It weighs between 1 1/2 to 2 kls. Its price is equivalent to 3 kls. of meat or more … hmmmn ,so expensive. It’s available in Manila and other province. But if I have a chance to find it, I may buy just once for curiosity reason. To know how it taste and how hard its shell is. They said it takes an hour to cook it hard boiled.

Hmmmmnn ...wondering if I can use the egg whites of an ostrich egg for my facial care too, he he he ..^_^..
