Thank you so much for watching!
Our town of Maco is enjoying another beautiful sunny morning.
The sunshine seems golden and the temperature is rising by the minute.
I woke up early and started making my husband’s favorite breakfast - Russian pancakes called blini.
I will need 2 ½ cups of warm milk
2 large eggs
half a teaspoon of baking soda
a quarter teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of coconut oil or butter
and 1 cup of flour.
Mix the batter until it is smooth. You can also add sugar, but we don't want the blini to be sweet.
Greased the pan with cooking oil. And when it was well heated, poured in a ladleful of batter.
In our family, we like to eat blini with fruit jams or chocolate spreads.
So I make a simple pan bread for him.
You only need four ingredients
Two and a quarter cups of flour
1 cup of warm water
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of yeast
Mix the flour and yeast and adds the water and salt.
Then it all needs to be mixed by hand to make a dough.
The dough needs to be covered with a clean cloth and put in a warm place where it will rise for an hour.
An hour later, the dough is ready.
Grease the pan with oil to keep the dough from sticking to the bottom. Then sprinkle the dough with a little flour and gently roll it out.
I put the dough in the pan and pressed down lightly to flatten it. Covered again with a cloth and left to rise for another 30 minutes.
And now it's time to bake.
To make sure the bread cooks evenly and doesn't burn, you need to turn the heat down to the lowest setting.
Cooking one side of the bread will take about 25 minutes. Then it should be flipped and cooked for another 7 minutes.
For lunch, I will make pork adobo.
Adobo is a very popular dish in the Philippines. It is a stew in soy sauce with vinegar onion and garlic.
There are many ways to prepare adobo. Almost every region in the Philippines has its own variations of this dish.
I like to add vegetables. I like to eat them more than the meat.
The next day, I decided to make dumplings.
I would need 3 cups of flour, two small eggs
1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
a teaspoon of salt
and ¾ cup of warm water
The hardest part for me is the kneading.
Put the dough in the refrigerator to rest while the filling is being prepared.
For it we bought pork and some ground beef. Salt, black pepper and chopped onion are also needed for seasoning.
I kneaded the dough again and cut it into four pieces. Then I stretched the pieces to make them look like long sausages. Then I cut the dough into smaller pieces and dipped them in flour. It remains to roll out the flaps with a rolling pin. It is important that the dough is not too thin, so that it does not tear when you put the filling.
Molding dumplings together is our bonding. And it has become another one of our family traditions.
All my husband has to do is boil the dumplings in water with salt. After they boil, he turned the heat down and wait 5 minutes until ready.
The dumplings can be topped with the broth they were boiled in. I like to dip them in calamansi and chili soy sauce. Boria like to eat dumplings with sour cream, or tomato juice, but both are hard to find in the Philippines, so he diluted vinegar and water.
After a hearty lunch, I started reading the book my husband gave me for New Year. "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe.
It's amazing to Boria that I, who was born and raised on a tropical island, knows about the Romanov royal family, Rasputin, Catherine the Great, but has never heard the story of how Robinson Crusoe survived on a desert island. In his country this book was very popular.
