Grilled Stuffed Squid

Grilled Stuffed Squid

I haven’t tried doing this at home. I have tried grilling squid, yes, but not stuffed.

This seemed difficult to do, with the cleaning of the squid and thinking about the stuff to out inside. Of course, there is the trusted Google that will spit out probably hundreds of ways that this can be done, and yeah, there 46,700 posts about “grilled stuffed squid”.

My student GG loves havng this grilled stuffed squid. To think that he is a picky eater mean that this food is really special to him.This may not look too appetizing to some but to me, this is tops.

Naku sa totoo lang, masarap ito kainin ng naka-kamay at me kasamang hilaw na mangga at bagoong. Wagi!

Bubba Gump’s Spicy Jambalaya Pasta

This is my first entry (and hopefully not the last) for Lasang Pinoy, Sundays which is sponsored by a dear (virtual) friend, Ces.

When I got an invite last week to go to TriNoma’s Bubba Gump Shrimp Company to have lunch with “Forrest Gump” I just needed to check what day the lunch date falls on and when I saw that I do not have to go to work that day, I replied with a “YES!”

Well, not exactly just that word but of course, I said “yes, I will be glad to accept the invitation…”

I know “Forrest Gump” was from Alabama which is one of the Southern states, known for their spicy, hearty and creamy Southern, Creole and Cajun cooking. Looking at the simple ingredients incorporated to make the dish Spicy Jambalaya Pasta, one can only wonder why Filipinos have not really thought about using seafood with pasta, not until the introduction of Italian and yes, Southern cooking style.

Jambalaya means cooking all ingredients, meat and vegetables and stock in just one pan. Isn’t this how our grandmothers made Paella and (my father’s favorite) Arroz Valenciana?

Seafood is one of the many riches of the country although sad to say, these are expensive, especially the shrimps and crabs, that ordinary home makers may find too expensive for everyday cooking.

Filipinos love spicy food so it is not a question at all that this dish is one that can be appreciated by those who love both seafood, pasta and anything spicy.

Bubba Gump Lunch with Forrest Gump

We had lunch at Bubba Gump TriNoma today and met Forrest Gump being “played” by Steve Weber.

I had fun, I think the other blogger guests had fun too.

The food was great and so is the ambience. The crew were friendly and so is Forrest.
