Before Summer Ends...

The rainy season is fast approaching, so before summer ends, here's our last 'hirit' to beat the heat!

Had a sinful yet heavenly lunch with my family yesterday, again courtesy of the best chef in town, my dad. :D

First on the menu was the Tuna Meatballs. With just a can of Tuna soaked in water, eggs, minced onions, tomatoes, and salt and pepper, rolled into bread crumbs, this delectable dish sure is a perfect treat for health buffs out there. Just be sure to use olive oil or vegetable oil in frying for a more guilt-free treat. :p

Another healthy treat was the Buttered Veggies. Slices of potatoes, carrots, sayote, Baguio beans, and button mushrooms sautéed in butter never really fail to satisfy my palates, especially when the veggies are cooked just right.

The meatballs and veggies were perfectly delicious, but for an added twist, my dad also made these:

You may enjoy eating the meatballs and veggies plain, or have it with gravy for a more delectable treat!

We also had Century Eggs, which is Gia's favorite. :)

Another tasty treat was the Papaitan. This is one of my dad's specialties. It was so good that my mom wasn't able to resist eating it even if she was advised by her doctor to avoid food with high uric acid content. :p

And last but not the least, was our all-time favorite, Cripy Pata! Just look at the picture...need I say more? *drools*

After out mouth-watering lunch, we had a refreshing dip! Summer time will surely become more fun and enjoyable when spent with the whole family!


Hope to have more and more family fun next summer! :D
