I really miss our food, sometimes I make myself feel better by browsing the internet of Filipino recipes, but of course, coz I can't cook it is just gathering dust. I'm like I cook that, and that and that..........
Oh well! Can't have everything in this world!!
Of course you can cook my Missus mate who has lived here for the quite a few years now had to get the Wife to show her how to cook some very basic foods. Now she is fine i guess sometimes its more a not having someone to make them with at first which is the problem.
But i think even i could have a bash at some dishes if you gave me a receipe book the ingredients and a gas mask to filter out the vinegar fumes.
Actually my Wife before she left and even when she went back to phill last, made lots of notes both mental and written ones on receipes and methods to cook foods she loves. Now with the add of skype and truphone she will go though the first run with her mum or a tita to make sure it goes smooth and off she goes.
For all you ladies yet to move over, who miss the home cooking its worth practising your favourites dishes before leaving, its what i did here in the UK before i moved out from homebut still had to go back to taste the real thing
My wife on her last trip back took many novel new foods back whch they loved such as bread and butter pudding, xmas pudding (which was the best recieved by far) and belive it or not butter chicken (which she learned the receipe from the local indian takeaway) If we ever go then when its rainy season the missus wants to cook them a roast dinner but thats not a great dish to prepare when its 36 all day
