:FF/FTP: Adobong Tuna

This is my first ever venture to cook a big tuna fish. My Mom' friend gave a one and a half feet size tuna fish and as I don't want my Mom to be tired in preparing this I took the courage to do it my way. Since I'm not so used to cooking this one I just did some simple steps to cook it. Here's what I did. I've cut the fish into slices and cook it in three phases:

First Phase : Have it boiled slightly in vinegar, garlic, pepper and salt to remove the bad odor or 'lansa'

Second Phase: I fried the slices after removing it in the vinegar boiled mixture

Third Phase: I made an adobo recipe out of it, I've put soy sauce, garlic, seasoning and drops of calamansi to give the lemony aroma and taste because tuna fish has some 'lansa' smell on it. Now you can see above the final menu which my son commented that it took me some time to cook our lunch. Well my effort paid off when they praised it. My Mom and kids loved it! It extended up to our dinner. Actually it taste like chicken to me lol!

Clog-Free Gutter System

We’re experiencing the hottest summer season so far and made even worse by El Niño. Some provinces are over 40 degrees and we desperately need rain to recover agricultural losses. Most of the rice fields in North Luzon can’t be recovered because of drought and more of that situation was being aired on the news. This drought will make the economy suffer more downfalls and I’ve yet to see what the new President will have to do with this kind of situation.

Anyway just another month and rainy season will set in and people must be ready with that too remembering the great flood last September of 2009. In our house only we’re checking all possible areas for repair such as roofing’s and gutters. I noticed that our gutters are old already and it doesn’t filter much. The gutter system is very important because it controls the water that flows from the roof down the drainage and if it’s functioning well it will prevent the water from overflowing. Since it really needs some replacement I’d like to replace it with one-piece seamless debris shedding gutter like the LeafGuard gutter system because it has no movable parts, with solid seamless hood and can handle over 21 inches of rain waters per hour.

I’ve seen some of their installations like Gutters Norfolk and noted that aside from the strong and reliable performance of their gutters it also looks good. It comes in various colors and gives an added beauty to your homes. With LeafGuard you don’t have to worry about water damage on house because this gutter system will run free of debris always.

The Perks of Being a WAHM

After my one week trial of doing a semi-cleansing diet I feel wonderful inside as the fruits and veggie diet started to work wonders on my system. I feel more energetic but yesterday after skipping one day of my regular healthy meal I was infected with colds and my body starts to weaken again. To immediately stop the sickness from entering my body I had my back massaged by my dear Mom and start taking plenty of water.

After lunch I opened my PC and start working again on my online job. That’s the value of working at home; you have the chance of working on your flexible hours. Actually you can work even if you’re not feeling good. Just do your work easy and work only on the most important and tasks nearing their due dates. If I’m working in my former office now I may have used my vacation leave because I really can’t travel with this ill feeling I have right now. It’s really nice to be a WAHM (Work-at-Home Mom).

:FF/FTP: Home Made Meat Patties

This is my home made meat patties which is one of my kids' favorites. I don't want to give them the commercial kind of patties that's why I made my own very simple and quick mixture of meat patties.

This is made of 1/2 kilo ground pork, 1 egg, 2 medium potatoes, 1 big carrot, 1 big onion, 1/4 clove of garlic, 6 tbsp. cornstarch (more or less), seasoning (optional), salt and pepper. It's easy to do it, just mix all ingredients and make sure all are grounded and finely chopped for easy cooking. After mixing all ingredients evenly try to form balls or patties depending on the shape you want and deep fry it.

If you want burger patties just remove potatoes and carrots and it will taste just as good and yummy!

Importance of Writing Things Down

When you’re working in an office or even at home you have to be organized in some ways. I’m not telling you to become a machine or a computer but to become more orderly in your daily living and activities. One way of being organized is to write things down.

When I was still working in office my staff would comment on my writing every important detail that should be noted and remembered. I was known to have a photographic memory since I was in my primarily school but I still write things down because I want my mind to be free of clutter. It helps me to accommodate more things in my mind if I noted everything down in my notebook.

Everyday of my working life I would write the date and the things to do for the day and take note of the callers, billing due dates, clients to email and followup collection, important dates to remember and the special notes for my boss. Being an officer in the company with many tasks assigned I wouldn’t be able to handle it all if my mind is cluttered and the notes that I wrote helped me in many ways. If there’s something amiss in our works and we need previous information I can look back with the help of my notes. My boss knows it and sometimes he referred to it on critical moments.

You don’t need an elaborate system. Anything that comes up that you may need for future situation just write it down. Don’t worry about grouping the tasks you’ve written there. Just do all the recording and you’ll soon be thankful in the future that you have organized yourself in the habit of writing things down.

Part of Growing Up

I’m chatting with my friend and she asked me about her teenage daughter’s skin problems I told her to consult dermatologist or if she has time she can visit www.acnecuresrevealed.net so she’ll know the best treatment for her daughter’s acne problems. She can ask her doctor if the treatments are safe and guaranteed to give good results.

I was thinking that maybe after few years I would be asking the same question as my eldest daughter will soon be entering teenage years and it’s one of the normal problems of the kids in their adolescence period. It’s part of growing up. I was lucky not to encounter too much of pimple problems as I had it once or twice only unlike others who had to consult skin doctor to get rid of those acne and pimples.

Planning for Cleansing Diet

I’ve started again my new plan of healthy diet and I’m readying myself for my cleansing diet in the next few weeks. I’m wise enough not to start immediately on my plan as I will be unprepared for it if I do it now. I must start taking my food in halves then limit it a quarter before taking my one week fruit cleansing diet. I’ve read some allireviews.com and I’m decided to take my diet naturally as it’s safer and healthier. I really want my colon to be cleansed and the right way is to go on cleansing diet. It will be a week of eating fiber-rich fruits only. For now I’m consulting MIL because she’s done it several times and I’ve noted the kinds of fruits I should be taking and some of them are apple, pineapple, citrus, pears and some veggies like cucumber and carrots. Hope I can start as soon as possible so I will be healthier!
