This is the second week of the weekly Lunchbox Meme that we have over at the FilipinoMomBlog.com.
Below is a photo of my eldest daughter’s food container which she brought to school last week. Yesterday, she had this.
Pan-fried pork steak, marinated in soy sauce and ground pepper.
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!
Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is RUIN(ED).
The first thing that came to mind was the photos we took when we all trooped to historical sites as a part of our home schooling lessons for History. I have posted entries here, here and here.
Photos of the entrance to Intramuros are in my other blog post about Ruin(ed).
My entry for ruin(ed) is this:
Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel, Intramuros, Manila
The sign at the gate of the church says:
We had a basil plant.
Yes, had because the plant died courtesy of those small white insects that seemed to feed on the fragrant plant. Coupled with that, ants infested on these small white creatures. I wasn’t able to take photos of these creatures but Googling them I was able to land to this page. Click here.
I knew I should have made pesto when the leaves were plentiful. This would have to wait until I get another plant or resolve to buy fresh leaves from the supermarket. I know I should have read pages like this one before I got the plant but that is water under the bridge now. Sigh.
Sungka is an old Filipino game. This is also a popular game in other Asian countries.
The game has an elongated wooden board with seven pockets on either sides. Each pocket has seven shells in it.
At both ends of the wooden board are bigger pockets, called stores. One store is for each player, usually the one found on the left hand.
At the start of the game, both players will simultaneously choose to get a bunch of shells from any of the pockets on his side of the board. Each player will then store a shell on all the pockets moving clockwise. Each player will put one shell in his own store but not in his opponent’s store.
If the last seed is put in an empty pocket, then that player stops playing. If not, then that player keeps on playing, getting shells from the pocket where his last shell has fallen in and putting these in the holes and in his store.
There are still other rules regarding this game which is also called Congklak, click here.
The FilipinoMomBlog.com officialy launched the “What’s in Your Lunchbox?” Meme today, November 11,2008.
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?
