What's cooking?

Better yet, who's cooking?

And the answer? 

Me.

Got home from the office quite early last Thursday, so I decided to cook dinner. Mom was already preparing to cook Camaron Rebosado, but I thought of levelling it up and made this Camaron Rebosado x Tempura hybrid.

See? I can be useful in the kitchen, too.

Start spreading...

Not the news.

Just spreads.

Making spreads was my activity this weekend. Armed with stuff from the kitchen, was able to put together these 2 spreads.

The first one was the classic tuna spread, while the other is an herbed chicken spread.

Despite the fact that it's been a long while since my last spread making activity, these turned out to be good!

Stew You

One of the dishes that Dad enjoys cooking is this Spanish/Portuguese stew called "Tacho."

Tacho is made of shredded chicken, white beans, and chorizo. It's a very hearty stew that you can eat on its own, or with bread or rice. It has that very rich blend of flavours, but not too overwhelming. Despite the many ingredients, the dish is still very balanced.

Even as kids, this would be part of his repertoire, along with Pochero. These 2 dishes are similar in some ways, particularly with the use of legumes.

We're lucky that Dad still loves to cook these dishes until now. We enjoy a taste of our childhood even as adults.
