My Friday
Friday, April 13, 2007
Holy. It's Friday and I'm at home. With nothing else much to do. I sit yet again in front of this computer until sleep comes to me. So ever since I started work, it has always been like this. Go to work in the evening, come home in the morning, eat breakfast, and then sit in front of the computer, blog, chat, listen to mp3s all that stuff.
I'm still the way I am. Back home, I rarely go out. I just visit the supermarket once a week to buy stuff you know; don't even eat out because I cook. I've learned one thing today, I should plant calamansi. They cost a lot here. It's better if you harvest your own. Asado with freshly harvested calamansi from the yard. It sounds delicious. I also miss eating adobo. It seems they haven't cooked adobo since I came here.
It's just vinegar, meat (chicken or pork), onions, pepper, and a little bit of garlic. So how do I cook mine? Well, apparently, Kapampangans cook it in a different manner. First, you sautee the onions and garlic. Add a small amount of fish sauce, a teaspoon or two would do. Depends on how much meat you're cooking. Anyway, so after adding the fish sauce, the next step is adding the meat to the mix. So it's the onions, then garlic, fish sauce, then pork: chopped in strips or in cubes, whichever one prefers. So wait until the meat gets a little brown, after which you add vinegar. Usually I add a cup and a half. Let the meat boil in vinegar. When the vinegar boils, wait 3 to 5 minutes and add half a cup of water. If you wish add also a small amount of soy sauce to give the adobo sauce a little color. And there you go.
Another way of cooking it, the way Tagalogs do (as my grandmother calls it), is fry the pork. Fry a little bit of garlic. Then let the pork boil in a solution of vinegar and soy sauce, which will eventually serve as the sauce of the adobo.
Oh I'm hungry now eh. I'll just open a can of meat instead.
I guess no Friday night out for me too tonight. I'll just stay home and sleep. I am not doing overtime either.
Oh French word for today:
Croitre v. to grow
But has to conjugate this verb, like je crois or nous croissons. I don't why google translates the former as I believe, maybe that's how it's used. On the other hand, the latter phrase is translated correctly, "we grow."
French is fun if you get to speak with other Francophones. But not here in Winnipeg.
