Left Over food

What do you do with your left over food? Do you throw it away? When I came to the States, I've seen left over foods just being wasted. Especially after big occassions like Thanksgiving, Christmas or 4th of July Celebration. When I see the food just go bad because no one wants to eat left over anymore, I feel really guilty inside. I always think about the street children in the Philippines where they have to sell Sampaguita, rugs or newspaper just so they can help their family to raise money for food..

As part of the Filipino culture and tradition, food is very important and we never throw left overs. I carried that practice even now that I am married. I see to it that the food I am cooking is just enough for us. There are times that we have left over but I never threw them. We always eat it the next day, after all some LOs are better tasting when it sets for a day. 

The other day I made a beef roast but we didn't able to eat it all, so what I did is I made a vegetable soup out of it. I just added some frozen veggies (fresh veggies is better) and tadahhhh masarap na ulam na for lunch..

Some left overs that I always used forsecond cooking is adobong baboy, I always uses it as sahog in pansit... Yummmmyummmyyy!

This is our dessert for today.. Sweet rice or malagkit.. Do you guys want some?

Eyeglasses for Rylie

We will be flying on Wednesday folks and our internet connection will be unplugged tomorrow, so I am leaving you something to enjoy. We were eating at our favorite Korean resto last week when Rylie decided to try on my eyeglasses.

Oh boy, I am not looking forward for this long flight. We will be travelling for almost 19 hours. We have connecting flights from Korea to Japan, Japan to Detroit, Detroit to Pittsburgh, then we have to drive one hour from Pittsburgh to West Virginia wahhh. This will be an ardous one. Thanks for visiting and commenting guys!

Our Inspiron Lappy

My husband gave me this Dell laptop when we first met almost 7 years ago. When we relocated here, it got damaged and some of the keys in the keyboard aren't working anymore. The sad part is, the moving company never process our claim. I am kinda sad and at the same time upset because this is very sentimental to me and it got ruined. Oh well, I can't complain too much. This laptop was the one that kept our communication when I was still in the Philippines waiting for my papers to get done. I'll probably keep it this forever as a lasting remembrance of our journey.

Mango Juice Lover and my Thursday 13

As I've mentioned before, our kids loves mango juice so much especially my dear daughter. She can't pass a day without drinking her favorite juice. These were taken last Sunday after we came from church.

The opposite of smiley hehehe. Rylie tried to frown.

Magpies

There's a lot of magpies here in Korea, unfortunately they're very aloof so you can't really take pictures in a close distance. But I never give up so when we were taking for a walk, I patiently took picture of this fella up in the tree.

Thanks for visiting folks!
