Beef Tocino

I made this over the weekend. I usually marinade the meat for a few days, but this time I boil it over medium heat until the sauce is almost dry. I was pretty sure DH liked it the last time I made some. However, this time, he not very fond of it, I used pork when he liked it. I think the beef has a stronger flavor for tocino marinade. I'll make sure to marinate it for a few days next time. ODS enjoyed it with hot steamy rice.

Beef TocinoI also pound the beef to make it tender. But I noticed that it did not make a difference. As soon as it started cooking it all harden and the simmer process made it tender again.

Or maybe I should have keep on pounding until it was really tender? All I can do is try again, and make it better next time.

If you leave it cooking without closing the lid in a normal cooker, the fibers will turn hard. For it to be tender without a long, long marinade you should use a slow cooker (you can check wikipedia, is an electronic appliance). Hope next time it is better! :)

Paksiw & Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Image
This is my FTF entry for this week. Paksiw (sour broth) frozen baby bonito (tulingan). I settled for frozen ones, because this is very hard to find in my area. Always eaten with ton of rice...lol I don't have any other vegetables to mix with it but the pepper. I was lazy to go out (shopping) with the heat we are having. And for dessert; strawberry banana smoothie. I was weeding my vegetable garden today and I was sweating a lot. What a nice drink to have! Very filling (sweet) and refreshing after soaking under a hot sun. For more FTF images, just follow the image below.

Mango Float

Image
They are in season now a days. I am talking about mostly any fruits. Here is my version of mango float that similar Filipino goes gaga about. Like I mentioned in my previous post, the sugar in this recipe is the killer. I can have this maybe once a year and I still prefer just plain mango anytime. This one was taken after a few hours in the freezer. You can see the cream and milk mixture are still runny. This one is taken the next day, when frozen. It turns out that DH love it. The only complaint he got was the taste is not even. He still wanted to make ice cream with the same ingredients. I can't wait to see how it would taste.
