My Longing for Pinoy Food Satiated this Weekend- Happy July 4th Celebration

My First Okra and Tomato Harvest. The Bluebirds in my backyard pre-tasted one of my tomatoes-you naughty birds!

I have been longing for Pinoy dish since yesterday. However, I did not feel like cooking or even ordering on line via Doordash. Today, I felt better, harvested my first okra and tomatoes from my garden. I even had the energy to order Grilled DeBoned Bangus, Pancit and Lumpia from our nearby Filipino/Japanese restaurant, Teriyaki Station in Folsom.

I cooked the okra with tomatoes and onions and sauteed it with Shrimp Paste (Bagoong) for my early dinner today. I am very choosy with the brand of shrimp paste I used for cooking. It has to be Barrio Fiesta.

Here are the photos of my Okra Before and After, my 15 minutes cooking.

OKRA BEFORE AND

OKRA AFTER- Served with Grilled/Deboned Bangus, Pancit, Egg roll and Steamed Rice. Half of the Bangus and two Egg Rolls and Half of the Pancit, I already consumed during lunch.

Meanwhile enjoy Franz Liszt "La Campanella" played by Michael Andreas- his great-great grandson

Have a Happy and Safe July 4th Celebration! and Thank you All for reading/liking my blogs!!

Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort and Conference Center

These are the reviews from from two of our guests published at the Trip Adviser web site. Visit the Trip Adviser website for additional details. 1.What a peaceful place to spend relaxing time in Marinduque! The cottage is very comfortable, and right on the beach, with a large deck for watching the sunset. The location in Boac (and not too far from Gasan) is well placed for a home base for day trips around Marinduque. But the best part of our stay here was the graciousness of the hosts, David and Macrine. They are warm-hearted, know the island well, and truly made us feel at home. Although we were there to explore the island and relax, the property has a great conference/meeting facility as well. Highly recommended. 2. Nestled against the beach, this cottage on stilts was a great place to spend a week away from all the insanity of urban life. With a spacious deck, two bedrooms, a living room and a full kitchen, my entire family truly enjoyed their stay. The hosts, Dave and Macrine do everything possible to make you feel like family, while still giving you space and privacy. The beach is all of 25 feet away and early morning walks on the beach are what I remember most. My kids were fascinated with the bamboo flooring. A reef is just off shore and filled with beautiful fish to enjoy while snorkeling. I would go back in a minute if I could.

I love Sunsets! How About You?

1. Sunset from Balcony of the Chateau Du Mer Beach House, Amoingon, Boac, Marinduque, Philippines Over the years, I have seen and photographed several dozens of sunsets in several countries that my wife and I have visited. We have been to Marbella, Spain, Rome, Italy, London,England, Vancouver, B.C., Cancun, Mexico, Aruba, Hawaii( Maui, Kawaii, Big Island), Puerto Rico and most of the US big cities, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City, St Louis, Miami, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, NV, Houston, TX and other small cities . But the two most beautiful sunsets that stir my emotion are the one at Amoingon Bay (#1- taken at the balcony of our Chateau Du Mer Beach house-top photo) and the one over Manila Bay(# 9 photo). You will probably say, I am partial since I am a Filipino-American, but judge it yourself. Above are ten of my favorite sunset pictures for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! Comments, anyone?
