Homemade Gourmet Tuyo


A couple of months ago, we tried to make our own Gourmet Tuyo in an effort to make filleted tuyo readily available for breakfast. Our little lady loves tuyo, but it is time consuming to fillet it for her while we are eating. We looked for Gourmet Tuyo in supermarkets in Bulacan, but found none; we thought that by making our own, we'll be addressing our need and may even be able to start a business out of it. Unfortunately, we find the cost of making Gourmet Tuyo expensive; it leaves no room for profit unless we will be willing to sell it at 25% mark up (even then, it will still be quite expensive). We left the business side of the project at that and just enjoyed our Gourmet Tuyo that week.

Last week, I shared this attempt to sell Gourmet Tuyo on my Facebook Page. I remembered I have all these pictures taken of the process of making a jar of filleted tuyo in corn oil. I decided to share it here just in case readers want to try the recipe and/or sell Gourmet Tuyo (I hope they find a way to lower down production cost). Recipe and pictures below! Happy cooking!





Tuyo
Corn Oil
Garlic
Vinegar


1. Fry tuyo in corn oil. Turn off heat and let cool.
2. Chop garlic. Set aside.
3. Remove head and scales, fillet and set aside.
4. Fry garlic in corn oil until almost brown. Add tuyo fillets and let simmer in oil.
5. Turn off heat and allow cooked tuyo to cool down.
6. Transfer in a jar, add 2 teaspoons of vinegar and keep at room temperature overnight.



That's it. Making the first jar is just like preparing for a wonderful breakfast the next morning!

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

OPPO F1s: Valentine’s Dream Date

Before I talk about my Valentine's Dream Date, I'd love to first give you a bit background about who I am and what I do. Who I am can easily be summed up in 4 letters: W-A-H-M. I am a Work-At-Home-Mom doing various freelance writing, admin, social media and design work for clients abroad. I have been in the business for many years. Haven't looked back to my also fun call center life since. I have no regrets about choosing to be home all the time. After all, I am an introvert. I don't really enjoy being in a crowd. They can be overwhelming to me. I also have a 7 year old daughter, and I'm just really thankful I am present in her life and I get to watch her grow up into a happy, beautiful girl each day. I understand this is a privilege not many moms get to enjoy. I love my WAHM  life! I'm going to say this over and over again— I live to be a good mother and homemaker. I believe this is God's purpose for my life. Freelancing helps me achieve this. Working

#CoffeeShopCamping: The Frap Bar, Hotel Lorita

It's not the first time that I tried to work in coffee shops. My 'coffice' search started (and failed) in 2012. There weren't many coffee shops in Bulacan back then, and freelancing was unheard of. It was difficult to find a coffee shop that welcomed remote workers. Fast forward to 2016. Entrepreneur Philippines now features freelancing/freelancers in its articles regularly. Independent contractors come up on Facebook from time to time to share their stories and excitement for the entire world to read. We're no longer unheard of. We're now a community that sparks interest from people looking for jobs or looking into the option of starting a service-based business from home. As for me, that's total of 5 years in freelancing, and just very recently-- in Tuguegarao City. A lot has changed, but the question of whether I will be able to find a coffee shop that will welcome me in their place still stands. Prior to moving to Tuguegarao City, I found
