Salted Egg experiment

 

 

I did not expect my experiment in making salted eggs with a different color to turn up well. But am very happy with the result. Am planning to call these eggs "ginintuan".

 

I have always been worried by the red dye used in the traditional red colored eggs. Dyes are not really the safest of chemicals but sometimes when you cut open the red eggs, one can not avoid staining the inside of the egg which eventually gets eaten.

 

At least with the Ginintuan eggs, the colorant I used is from a plant and so is very safe.

 

Taste wise, the result of this experiment is equally very good. One taster even likened the taste of the white of the egg to the local carabao cheese. Not too bland nor too salty.

 

Looks like I will just be making instead of buying the salted eggs for our table.

 

 

 

 

 

 



Toilet paper lock

Although I commend McDonald's for its high standard of hygiene and cleanliness, I find this lock on the toilet dispenser a sad commentary about us as a people.

This is not the fault of the restaurant but the customers or the cheap whoever who would rather swipe than buy their own toilet paper.

Relevant history vs merely remembering

When we look at the past for its own sake and without relating its relevance to the present except for comparison, that is merely remembering. The past becomes historically relevant only when we can see its effect and influence on the present.

The Rosemary challenge

I admit I am a trying hard urban farmer. But for some reason I can not say I am there yet. So far most of my attempts at raising plants have produced only so-so results. Still the little success that I get are enough for me to go on.

A recent challenge that I took on for myself is being able to grow the aromatic herb rosemary. I had tried to grow them before but my earlier attempts only ended up as failures. I know there is something that I am not doing right with this plant.

Hopefully this time, I will be able to get it right.

Kanin-baw

Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, lahat na lang ay ginagawa ng ating mga kababayan para lang makakain ng husto. Pero kung minsan, ang kanilang imbento ay sumisikat at kinakain na rin kahit ng mga may kaya.

Kailan lang ay may narinig akong pangalan ng pagkain na bago sa akin - "kanin-baw". Akala ko kung ano ito pero ang ibig lang palang sabihin ay "kanin na may sabaw".

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang lasa ng kanin-baw na narinig ko, pero naisip ko, hindi nga masamang ideya kung may gumawa ng sosyal na version nito na masarap ang sabaw at maraming laman.

Baka nga ito ang sunod na maging patok na usong pagkain.
