Sweet and Sour Pork

Saucy.

What comes to mind first?

For me, this:

Sweet and sour pork. Yes, a Chinese recipe but it has come to be a Filipino dish that we love.

I love this but honestly, I haven’t tried cooking that. Maybe because we haven’t had pork for a long time (except pork steak cuts for baon). I tried sweet and sour sauce with fried tilapia though.

That by the way was an order from Chowking 😉 Tastes good but a tad too sweet. I could do with more lean meat than fat and more vegetables in the dish.

Personalized Gift Tags

Join our weekly Tuesday Fab Holiday Finds meme at the FilipinoMomBlog.com.

This is the first round of the weekly Fab Holiday Finds over at FilipinoMomBlog.com.

For this week, the theme “any color” is what will guide us as we start off this fabulous Christmas meme.

Below is a more detailed version of one of the personalized Christmas gift tags I made last Sunday. I know it is not as fancy as the ones being commercially made but I still decided to push through with this simple project.

Yeah, I know some glue drippings can still be seen on the paper, bear with me, I haven’t done this for a while 🙂

Details for cost and materials can be found here, along with the other gift tags I have made.

Sliced Apples and Chocolate Milk Drink

For the third week of the What’s in your Lunchbox Meme entry over at the FilipinoMomBlog.com here is what Julian and Tania had for snacks yesterday:

Sliced apples and chocolate milk drink. I know these do not exactly “match” but they love both so that is what I give them.

The apples were washed using (I know this may sound weird) liquid dish washing soap to ensure that the skin is clean. The apple is then sliced thinly so that they can easily eat the pieces and not feel that have had too much of the fruit.

This lunchbox photomeme will be posted all Tuesdays for the month of November and is open to everyone who prepares lunchboxes for their children and/or husbands and/or themselves.

I have posted my children’s lunchbox menu yesterday here.

Then I remembered that I have taken a photo of what we brought for snacks for Wednesday last week and here they are, grapes, apple slices and sandwiches in the brown paper bag:

Now why the fuss about what is in a lunchbox?
