Since our cook left first week of July, I have been the unofficial kitchen helper of the Tan family. The Tan family comprises of 3 main houses: those of Lucio, Luna and Lucas. We have one common kitchen that prepares for our lunch and supper. Our food aren't anything special. They are mostly the usual meat, veggie and carbo viands. We are not picky eaters too. But I guess working in the kitchen is not an easy job, so occasionally the family encounters a change of helper now and then. Our last cook was the worst of them all. She was uninterested to learn new recipe and because of her religion, wasn't able to taste all of her pork dishes. (not a muslim by the way). Our meals are kind of scheduled for MWF and TThS. Sunday fare was always the same all through out. Haha! Worst than a school cafeteria. Even that, Lucas and I were always happy, thankful and contented of our three-square meals everyday.
Anyway, since I am the only member of the family who doesn't work in the store, so I tasked it to myself to help in the kitchen while we look for a more fitting cook. Honestly, I kind of love to work in the kitchen sometimes. To be a good cook though, one must need an abundance of good ingredients to make the food delicious. How I wish I can have a great kitchen too, so I can concoct good dishes like a seasoned chef. Hahaha!
I guess I'll just make the most out of everything and do my best. Hope to get a good helper soon
Mmmm... I remember Sunday is always lomi day. hehe yum :) Although the food prepared in Cotabato are quite ordinary and simple, I miss the food there. Lomi, Ba-Kut soup with corn, Monggo soup with sago, lechon paksiw, paksiw na isda, and other viands. :) Keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteSunday is still lomi day! haha!
ReplyDeleteYum :) I remember the spaghetti which we can spoon in our own sauce. That was always fun... I also love our sweet soups: banana, kamote and monggo! Also the simple dishes like the (adobong?) kangkong dish, and fried fish.
ReplyDeleteWe still do all of these! Kind of a family tradition. Haha!
ReplyDeleteThey are cheap easy to cook food, and nutritious! Haha!
