Bread Machine Fun

My sister recently bought a bread machine from her recent US trip.
We all had fun with it and enjoyed the freshly baked bread.

It so easy to use, just dump all ingredients in the machine, set the
cycle and wait for it to cook.

Nutella goes well with hot bread

mom wanted some raisin bread but we didn't have raisins
that time, so we use trail mix instead

Christmas Reunion

I have been absent in blogging for more than 2 months now.
But I'm back on track.

Christmas was a busy month as usual. Couldn't help with shopping
late for christmas gifts and attending Christmas parties here and
there. This is also a time for our family reunion. My Dad's immediate
family usually held our family reunion on December 25. This year,
Dad decided to bring lechon (roasted pig) for the reunion. He has
been saving one of the pigs he raised in our backyard for this occasion.

Anthony Bourdain of "No Reservations" show did an episode on lechon
with Marketman last year. For our purpose, Mom called up a niece in
Iligan City for the recipe.

onions, garlic, bell pepper, black pepper, lemongrass
spices placed inside the pigs cavity

3-4 hours cooking in slow fire

finally!

Our scientist in the kitchen

My sister loves to cook! Experimental cooking, that is.

I have learned to appreciate the food she prepares for us whenever she's in the mood to cook.

A few minutes before mealtime, and we still don't know what to eat. And before we have to eat them, there is still the waiting time for her to finish taking pictures of her creation to post on her website. Dad don't like this waiting time.

I love her pasta dishes and her baked eggs.
