Hamonada and Beans

We celebrated Balulang Fiesta last September 14, 2010 and although we had lots of visitors there were yet so much left overs. It's a positive thing, really.  See, my parents explanation why we have to celebrate Feasts like that of the Feast of the Holy Cross or the Sta. Cruz Fiesta or even the Feast of Saint Augustine, is because we are offering the saint part of our earnings. It's an offering that we also share to others who drop by to eat what you have offered on the table. It signifies bounty in the past, at present and in the future. Although it is not a good idea to spend so much for the banquet if your budget would not allow you to, it is always appreciated if a portion of your income is saved for said purpose.

Anyway, today is the 26th of September, twelve days after the said celebration. The last leftover we had has finally been eaten. Oops.. It's not a stale food or anything. It's Hamonada. It is after all, cured and will definitely stay longer even for a month, with proper refrigeration.

And my mom cooked four of them, of which, only two were touched. Prior to keeping the left over Hamonadas  refrigerated, they were actually heated, reheated and kept fresh by a reusable airtight container that sealed in the freshness. And they were actually divided in portions, as not all people would eat the same foodies at a time. So whoever wants to eat what, the food can be reheated in portions that the person can finish.

This morning, I opened the refrigerator and found that there is only one container that is left, so I rejoiced and decided to make a new viand out of it.

To make it more healthy, I added vegetable plus cubed Hamonada meat to my cooking. It's supposed to be Pork and String beans, but I kinda created a new recipe, Hamonada and String beans Soup. It was a hit during lunch. I love how the taste of the Hamonada is infused in the soup and how healthy it had become because of the string beans.

My sister Sweet and I won in Missy Bon Bon's Facebook contest last July 25, where 21 of us LIKED a certain post at Missy Bon Bon's page. Actually, only eight were supposed to win, but I guess they could not quite figure out who the first eight were as 21 appeared all together so they made all of us win, lol..

We have put it on hold for quite a long time as prize can only be claimed at the Missy Bon Bon Lim Ket Kai branch, so even if we ate so many times at Missy Bon Bon Robinson's branch we were still unable to claim our prize, not until yesterday where we went to Lim Ket Kai branch for a snack, as it was nearest to our destination. So with the breads we bought, came our FREE scoop of  Missy Bon Bon Gelato.. Sweet and I both enjoyed our winnings.. yumyum..

 I had the Missy Bon Bon Blueberry Gelato with my Missy Bon Bon Coffee Profiterols...
... 

And Sweet chose to order Missy Bon Bon Cobblestone  with the Missy Bon Bon Stracciatella Gelato..

We also bought Missy Bon Bon Sweet Potato Breads for the people in the house, as well as the classic loaf bread to go with a pint of Missy Bon Bon Sans Rival Gelato..
