Barbecue Anyone?... Filipino Style..

Happy 4th of July everyone.. I hope you are doing great with your barbecue and beers.. Cheers! It's gonna be a fun-filled day, am sure.. So what have you prepared for today? Anything from your kitchen?

Here in the Philippines, 4th of July is no longer the Independence day we celebrate but, June 12.. But in order to make 4th of July still a noteworthy celebration, it has been marked as the Filipino-american Friendship Day instead..  Some may have it as an excuse to bring out long tables and serve barbecue and beer, and still others celebrate it for another reason--- birthdays, anniversaries and so on and so forth.. While in the US, some people celebrate with an outdoor barbecue, others do even more as having a community fair.. But in most instances, the day is capped with fireworks display.. Ah.. Must be tiring to go through everything just to make the celebration a hit.. In cases where accidents happen and the injured may need the cheapest tramadol overnight, I am sure hospitals would be accommodating.. After all, the merry making may not allow him to find it, unless he would know where to order Tramadol online overnight... Surely, even during this really busy occasion, I am sure we can order tramadol online 24h should the need arise..

4th of July treat for the kids.. 

Ha! I have been carried away by that intro, pardon me.. Anyway, I know I have posted the hotdogs above in a previous post, but they are actually very good treats to serve during 4th of July Barbecues.. especially if kids are around.. Burgers and hotdogs do wonders during outdoor grilling too..

Pork Barbecue with hot sauce

Of course, 4th of July won't be the same without the pork.. If some people would have ribs and chops on the grill, Filipinos will always have the Pork Barbecue on skewers..

Shrimps on skewers

And of course, seafood on skewers, if they are available.. For those who will not eat pork, chicken is a very good alternative. Unless he or she is a vegetarian, Tofu can be grilled too..

Chicken Barbecue..

 Now they are ready for the grill..

hot outdoor grill.. 

I have cooked or been part in the preparation, cooking/grilling of some of the barbecue you see above, all in different occasions. We didn't celebrate 4th of July in this part of the world, but we are one in wishing America a very happy Independence day.. If we are to do a 4th of July gig, I am sure we too will have the above barbecue..  Why? because Filipinos love the above food.. agree?

Needless to ask, what 4th of July treat do you wish to share?..

I Could Shoot a Video in Davao---

Shop at More Food Adventures

I have been on the bus for ten hours or more, when I went to Davao City for DFAT 2011, via Butuan City. actually, it felt like forever because I just came from Camiguin Island, and the van and ferry took quite a while, so that added to the hours sitting down on my journey.. It was so tiring.. Unlike the guy sitting in front of me, who was watching Magnetic Man P Money Anthemic Music Video and the Joe Jonas See No More Music Video, I was feeling the burden of lots of things carried in my shoulders. My luggage plus the laptop bag separate with my hand bag-- whew! I couldn't imagine how I have survived that journey to and back.. I could have watched a video of, or listened to and sang Scouting For Girls Love How It Hurts, while traveling, but, I had to rest and enjoy the sitting challenge, lol.. 

Anyway, when I arrived in Davao, no music could ever describe how I felt about the city. It was so nice to be there.. We had our pre DFAT dinner and went back to my hotel to rest after our night cap at Jose Rafael.. The next four days was a bit hectic for a gastronomic frenzy, vis a vis my curiosity and excitement which somehow developed later into a desire to relocate in Davao City. Why I am posting this is relevant to the latest incident of the mayor punching a court sheriff amidst demolition exercises.. I swear, even if that happened, I still would like to relocate in Davao City. The people and food, places and sights are wonderful.. If you are a musician or an artist who would like to shoot for a movie, advertisement or a music video, Davao has every nook and cranny that would best fit any video theme. Truly, it is a melting pot of cultures and traditions as well as modernization and development.. 

Dreaming to go back there one day.. Not just for the Durian, but everything I have come to admire and love about the city in my five day stay..
