We had the unhealthiest weekend since I can remember. We mostly ate meat. Blech! Well, we had homemade Spanish bread with our coffee for breakfast on Saturday. For lunch, the boys had fried chicken and mashed potato, and I had vegetable stew.
However for dinner, we all had meat. I cooked Pork Adobo for dinner, plus there were still a few pieces of fried chicken from lunch. I think I used the fattest part of a pig, pork belly. I had a small slab in our freezer, so I used that. I forgot to add several hard boiled eggs to it as extender. I only remembered about it today when the mister had the last bite.
Today, Sunday, I cooked Filipino style beef steak (Bistek Tagalog). I had fruits and quinoa with mine. But still, it didn't feel right eating all the unhealthy dishes I prepared for the family. I wasn't able to go to the grocery store on Friday and Saturday, that's why.
Today, before the mister went upstairs to take a shower,
Me: Di na lang ko mag-chicken adobo ugma sa panihapon! Puro karne man ta karon nga weekend gud. (Let's not have chicken adobo tomorrow for dinner because we've been eating meat the whole weekend.)
The mister: Sige. (Okay.)
Me: Tagnaa unsa atong panihapon ugma! (Guess what we're having for dinner tomorrow?)
The mister: TOFU!?
Hehehe.
Yes. He guessed it right that we're not going to have anything meat tomorrow, but we're not having tofu. I'll prepare mung beans soup with lots of spinach. That's how the boy likes it.
How was your weekend?

Hahaha! He likes tofu?
He likes it with bell pepper with hoisin sauce, or in soup.
I cannot eat meat everyday but maybe for once in a week. Your family is so lucky to have you as a cook. I miss home cooked dishes. I am going there, hahaha!
Come over. :)
Whenever I ate too much meat, I would flush down with gallons of fruit juice diet to detox my guilt. Lol
I really love real Filipino food and desserts! I had the yummiest meals during my week long stay at Makati. I had never tasted good Filipino food outside Manila in this world. Maybe your kitchen, yes!!
You sound like a very good cook, all the dishes sound yummy even though they all contain meat.
