Recipe: Sinigang Na Buto-Buto ng Baka

A few days ago, we went to SM Marilao Hypermarket to buy chicken and cook Tinolang Manok. Everything had been planned for lunch, but when we saw the lot of Buto-Buto ng Baka on sale; we decided to give it a try and cook Sinigang  na Baka.  Sinigang is a favorite in our family (in many Filipino families, actually). My Nanay cooks the best Sinigang na Baboy and Baka. For Sinigang na Baka; she buys from her suki in Meycauayan Market, where she only pays for the beef strips and gets its fat free of charge. Her Sinigang is tasty and sinfully delicious; we're like in Tokyo Tokyo whenever it is our ulam (Unli rice!) My Sinigang na Buto-Buto ng Baka is no match compared to her's, but it turned out very good, too. Buto-Buto is flavorful and is perfect match to my Sinigang's thick sour soup. I'm proud to have cooked it a couple times and to have succeeded each time (which is not always the case, believe me!). Below are the ingredients and recipe for Sinigang na Buto-Bu

The Cabbage Soup Story

The making of The Cabbage Soup Cabbage Soup, Bacon and Tinapang Bangus saved the day! It's hard to live my brand, but it is a choice I made to walk towards the life I want. I want to be relaxed because that's how God wants me to be. He wants me to have self-control and be gentle.  I want to be relaxed to be a good example to my daughter. I want her to be calm and gentle, and to grow up to deal with life with confidence.  I want to be relaxed to take care of my relationships. I love Bunch, Nanay, Tatay, my sisters, family and friends. They are closest to me, so; when I lose my temper; they are the first ones to take the blow. I want them to feel loved not disrespected when I'm around. 13th of February 2015 marks a milestone in my goal to remain calm and relaxed despite difficult and trying situations. The scenario: I prepared everything to cook Sopas for merienda. We ended up eating Cabbage Soup for dinner! It was an accident. I was preparing ever

Celebrate All Kinds Of Love On Valentine's Day

I have Valentine's Day stories to share. The one that I will be blogging about later or tomorrow will be from yesterday. It's a Pre-Valentine's Day story. It's about food, love and priorities. It's a lovely story! Back to present— the actual Valentine's Day. Relaxed Wahmmy is happy, but not completely. I fell asleep praying last night. It's a prayer for a loved one. She's being tested and I pray for her peace. I know she'll be OK. We both just need to leave it all to God. I will not worry. I try hard not to worry. Valentine's Day still proved to be a lovely day despite this. God never fails to send us love every day. In fact, captured in the above photo is no-ligo-yet #littlelady. We've been to the doctor a total of five times this month and last month combined. Know what she learned? How to be a good doctor!  Here she acts as doctor and secretary in one. Her patients are Tiger and Lotty. They are Dada's kids. Lotty has chic

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I know it's kinda late because I should be greeting everyone Happy Valentines Day instead. Better late than never, eh? I was too busy taking care of life that I left this blog all empty and sad. Well, we've got hormonal imbalance and chickenpox to blame, but they are both a thing of the past now; I'd rather be excited moving forward than continue looking back at how difficult it was to deal with these health issues. And now that we're all homebound waiting for our blisters to heal and fall off; I can't think of a better time to pour my heart out on this blog. It's hard to start writing on this blog again. My recent experiences have been limited to whatever can be seen around the apartment. Isha missed school and we have a lot of catching up to do in the coming days. Now, I try to focus at work while there's plenty (There came a time when I didn't have any!). I am also into goal setting these days. I want to carefully plan my actions

Relaxed Wahmmy is back!

Want to know how many months I spent preparing for this blog? Two months. That's how much time I needed to convince myself I can be calm and relaxed despite this roller coaster ride called life. Two months and then I told myself, "Just do it". It need not be perfect, anyway. I just have to get started and everything else will follow.  7 months later: an outdated blog. What happened? Life happened. I lost one of my long term projects, I got sick, we moved (we moved again!) and then there's our family chickenpox nightmare, which happened just very recently. It's like running into shit then washing it off just to run over another shit. Rinse. Repeat. There's not much time to fully recover and heal. Yeah, we've been through a lot. I was unable to think straight for quite some time. I had no idea where to restart my life. No idea what to write. Then, it dawned on me. I don't need to restart. I just need to pick up from where I left off. I set out
