What do you do when you find out that they have a buy 1 take 1 sale on canned peaches at the nearby supermarket?
You make peach-mango-sago! (And when I say "you" it means "me.")
While there was no recipe followed, it turned out to be really good!
If they still have those peaches on sale, this is going to have a part 2. And part 3. And part 4...
As a kid visiting Bicol, one of the things I’d constantly look forward to is being able to eat “Budin”
This is a traditional dessert in Bicol. It’s a small cake made of pili nuts, with whole piles on top. They’re square shaped and we’re wrapped in white paper.
Lolo Doring and Lola Pining’s house in Malinao would never run out of budin, and they were so good that it wasn’t uncommon for me to finish a pack in one sitting.
It’s been a while since we had this at home, mainly because it’s been years since my last trip to Bicol.
The next time i’m there, this will be one of the things that i’ll make sure to find.
Presenting the Netflix Series that is fuelling my craving for all those Mexican goodies that I enjoyed in the early 2000s when I lived in Mexico.
"La Divina Gula" is currently showing on Netflix and I've been binge-watching it since last Friday. Translated, the title means "Heavenly Bites," which is exactly what I've been seeing each episode. Heavenly food and drinks that are part of my Mexican experience.
Aside from Chilaquiles, the series made me miss Tortas, Tacos, Pan Dulce and Micheladas! This is on top of the usual Dona Torta Gorditas, Pinguinos, Choco Lala, Raspas and Helados.
Oh Mexico! I can't wait to go back and take a bite of these goodies again!
