Food Flags.

Posted on January 24, 2010 by adminNo Comments

I was looking at various motorhome for sale online when I came across these food flags. {We cannot afford such vehicle, so I just content myself looking at them.} Anyway, an advertising agency has come up with a campaign to promote the Sydney International Food Festival: flags made from food typical of each country.

The flag of Italy is made of basil, pasta and tomatoes. LOVE this one. Yummy!

The Greek flag is made of feta cheese and olives.

France.

For Noche Buena.

Posted on January 22, 2010 by adminNo Comments

I know, this is long overdue. Our internet connection over the holidays was extremely slow and it’s only now that I get to slowly update my Flickr account. I can finally check for clamps over at ReidSupply.com, too. Anyway, I am sharing what we had for Noche Buena. Nothing unusual and everything is inexpensive. I was too lazy to prepare food so we just bought ours.

These are mostly local Pinoy food. We had buko pie, The Original is still the best. We also had Dolor’s sapin-sapin, cake and pancit palabok from Red Ribbon, bibingka and puto bungbong. I was supposed to prepare Pinoy tsokolate but we couldn’t find the suman to match it.

Garlic Pasta.

Presenting my garlic pasta.

I have been hearing about garlic pasta and decided to give it a try. My ingredients include olive oil, chopped garlic (lots of it! garlic is good for you.), lemon juice, a sprinkle of chili flakes and some salt and pepper. I can’t give the exact measurement of each as I mix them according to taste. The steps are simple. I just heat the olive oil in a pan, then add the garlic (be careful not to burn them), then the lemon juice, salt, pepper and chili flakes, and then I added the cooked pasta. My son enjoys this pasta so much even if I put tons of garlic on it. And for a variation, just add crushed bottled tuyo flakes and some lemon zest to create a lemon-tuyo pasta.

Spaghetti Dog.

My son loves pasta, even the plain, just-boiled noodles. Just this week, we had sopas (chicken noodle soup) twice, as per his request. He really loves eating the boiled macaroni noodles. And today, he again requested for sopas and brown hotdogs (chicken hotdogs).

Then I came across this spaghetti dog. This may look weird, but I think this is fun. I plan to prepare a similar one this weekend. I’m sure he’s going to love it.

From The Kitchn:
To make these spaghetti hot dogs, you stick raw spaghetti through chunks of hot dog and then boil the whole thing until the noodles are soft.

This is a fun idea especially if you have kids. My son loves pancakes so I am thinking of preparing his pancakes this way.

Excited for Sunday. I am meeting friends and we are having lunch at Sonya’s Garden. I do hope that they get to enjoy the food as much as I do.

We are having these and more.

Of course, the trip will not be complete without shots of the beautiful garden.
