Popular Post virginprune Posted June 13, 2016 Popular Post Posted June 13, 2016 My SO is a good cook but I enjoy cooking so much that I generally own the kitchen around 5 days a week. She cooks the Filipino dishes usually, sometimes I cook them with a twist, like adding herbs and such but then her son doesn't like them! So I usually cook non Filipino food, pasta with various sauces, Indian curries, stews, western style fried chicken etc. When we have pork we only use fillet, great in Thai curries with those small egg shaped eggplant. We eat fish maybe 3 times a week, either steamed with salad or curried. I like curry!! Breakfast tends to be toast or eggs and a couple of pots of coffee. Sometimes lunch is a sandwich, tuna and cucumber and egg mayo go down well. We both eat lots of vegetables and fruit and I drink lots of tea! All in all we have a good varied diet that we both enjoy, except she does not like her food as spicy as me! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogo51 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Jack, Don't be too hard on her regarding the eggs. they are very difficult to get right. I like mine soft but not undercooked. Robert, tried Chowking once, that was enough, but donuts, well that is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a wonderful cook in many respects but alas the egg escapes her. Same here. Wife likes to hard-boil her eggs in the rice cooker, on top of the rice. So it makes sense that her other variations are not quite as 'perfect.' Back to the OP, a lot of the locals have no clue about us. I was buying rice from the sari-sari last week and the guy asks me if I eat it. I told him , of course, almost every day. Then I completely blew his mind by explaining to him how I actually cook it in the rice cooker. I quite sure he thought I was bullsh***tting him.

Tukaram (Tim) Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 One time on our ship, for a few months, almost the entire kitchen crew was Filipino. Not one of them knew how to cook rice without a rice cooker ha ha. You know we gave them hell about that... I never heard of making hard boiled eggs in a rice cooker but my wife said they did all the time - before. Before me I guess? I want to try it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Judy cooks excellent Batangas style cuisine with lots of fresh vegetables with fish or pork to make a thick broth soup. But when it comes to western style food, she murders it. Take the famous Filipino style spaghetti with sliced hotdogs and ketchup. Yum, yum......especially when I'm drunk and hungry. I'll eat that cold.....he, he. And oh by the way, Judy still use the smoke detector for her timer. Gotta lub them Filipinas! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only try it if you like rock hard eggs - similar to the ones you get from 7/11.. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Glatt Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 My Grandfather Saterno Mangoni Always said water is for washing, vino is for drinking. I believe that drinking before and during and after a meal greatly affects the taste of the food. A cocktail before wine during and a fortified coffee after works well for me, also by following Pa's sage advice I have very clean feet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly my wife makes a very good pot of spaghetti. Well she can. What she actually does is pull some sauce for me, then proceeds to ruin the rest of it with canned meat, hotdogs, and sugar, but what she pulls out for me is really quite good! ha ha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
