:Food Friday - Lumpia Veggies with Tofu

It's veggies and fish these past two weeks to make up for the holidays' meaty fiesta :-) I cooked this Lumpiang Gulay with breaded tofu as toppings. It's good to combine tofu with veggies because you're sure that you don't have any meat on your food, that is if you really want your diet to be pure veggies and fish only. Oh well it's one of my favorite food. This one is served with peanut sauce but I've added the pure ground peanut in this veggie mixture so no need to make peanut sauce as this one is so healthy yummy already! I didn't add any coloring (the reason why it's pale)

High Performance Aircrew Helmets

I heard the news yesterday night that the PAF Nomad plane has crashed on some houses in subdivision in Cotabato City causing death among the passengers, pilots and crew of the said plane. It also caused fire and great damages on the properties where the plane accidentally landed. It’s rather tragic to hear that news as many of that Nomad plane has suffered the same fate in the past years. Now flying of the Nomad plane was suspended until investigations were over. As for me I wouldn’t ride anymore on that Nomad plane as it’s already proven from the numerous accidents suffered by the plane that it’s not safe anymore. That’s only my opinion. I don’t usually write things like this one but I pity the families of those passengers especially their kids. It must be so sad for them.

Our government should look into the planes we are purchasing from other countries as maybe some of them are not perfect in performance. Well I’m not in a position to talk about this but I’m just concerned. Speaking of performance I happened to surf some high performance aircrew Helmets New U.S. Military which even from the looks only you can tell its high quality and advanced design. I wonder if our government could provide some of it to our own Air Force staff. I’m just wondering of course as I’m just awed by its features and qualities and dreaming that our own air force would have advanced technology gadgets.

Looking for Project Software

I’ve recently talked to my former office mate and she’s now employed in a different company that relies mainly on automated system on all departments and aspects of their works. Since their system is so efficient there are no reasons to make a lot of mistakes and works are expected to be perfect.

Her only problem is that of handling a new project that’s not included in the current system they have. She didn’t want to be so demanding on the company to have bigger funds for her project but she wanted software that will run it efficiently. I told her to try project management software because it will not be as expensive as other system software. She’s thinking about my advice and probably will try this new suggestion of mine. Anyway she really needs some piece of advice from me since we’ve worked hand in hand with big projects years ago.

Learning Some Electrical Repairs

DH’s day off last Thursday was a good day for all of us aside from celebrating his birthday one day earlier. He has managed to repair some of our appliances which have malfunctioned after the flood has submerged our house up to neck-deep water. He has helped Ruth in making her electrical project in school which was not so easy with grade school students. DH has no knowledge of any electrical repairs but managed to follow directions from DIY guide and after more than an hour he has repaired two electric fans and our washing machine. He just asked me for some clamps to help him fasten some small objects because they keep on moving and getting out of place. I noticed that he’s happy doing those works and I told him he can study some short course if he wants to learn more.

:Food Friday - Hubby's Birthday Food!

Today is dear husband's birthday and these are his birthday foods. We celebrated it in advance yesterday as he filed a leave of absence yesterday for a one-day vacation rest in Tagaytay. We didn't go on with the plan of going to highlands of Tagaytay but we spent the day together in the house and decided to cook and celebrate his birthday yesterday. We went to the mall in the morning with Josh as he's on an early morning school schedule and bought some food and electrical supplies for the house.

Later in the afternoon I cooked pasta and chicken, made some delightful fruit salad and ordered cake. My girls were surprised at the advance celebration when they arrived but were happy with it. They were expecting that we're still in Tagaytay. Well everything happens on purpose, maybe on our next plan my young girls will have no exams and they will able to come with us.

Happy Food Friday to all, see other yummy foods here!
