The (frustrated) cook in me this holyweek.

Over the holy week, we did nothing but eat. We were at home the whole time would you believe? Since we just got back from Guam and are off for an overnight stay in Tagaytay this Friday and a short getaway in Boracay this May, we didn’t bother to make plans for holy week anymore. Besides, my SIL who is vacationing from the US is here for a short two weeks so she would rather spend the time here at home with the little girl, her all time favorite niece. So for four days, I did nothing but cook for everybody at home with the helpers’ help of course. Yes, I got so domesticated haha. It has been a long time since I was, believe me. I just decided to be one again as to impress our guests haha.

In the four days I was able to cook wagyu beef, mashed potatoes, buttered veggies, kare-kare, bicol express, sweet and sour lapu-lapu, kaldereta and chimichangas. Everything was yummy daw! Oh well, thanks to Pinoy Cook and some recipe books. :D

I wasn’t able to take a photo of the other dishes I cooked sayang. This was the only pic I got.

Sweet and Sour Lapu Lapu.

My yummy kare-kare.

Since I was home the whole day today, I decided to try cooking Kare-Kare. My first ever attempt to cook the dish. Thanks to Juliana and Pinoycook for the recipe I used as guide.

Modesty aside, it was yummy! Even if it doesn’t look like it, it sure was. Promise. Jon said it was, really :)
