Holy Week Food Challenge: Easter Sunday

So Easter arrived and it was also the time Malanang celebrated its Fiesta with their patron saint, San Vicente Ferrer. Because it is my parent's alternative home after Sendong, we found an excuse to celebrate too. But unlike the previous feasts, we only had simple food served as budget is tight. 

We had the following:

Fruit Salad with Cherries on top.. Lili's favorite... This was what I prepared on a Black Saturday.. Boy, this was so creamy because of the milk and cream used..

My father's yummy Humba...Soft meat that falls off the bone, delicious sauce to match.. 

My father's Patatim. This took hours to cook inside the presure cooker outisde the house, on a low burning charcoal cooker. I tell you, the pork leg is to die for. My father's been cooking this recipe for years and the taste remains the same. 

This is Suman given by my mother's offciemate who happens to live in the same village. My mom gave her a bottle of Macaroni Salad in exchange, lol..

I prepared meat balls, and I forgot to snap them when they were served, lol. The photo above was when I was yet cooking them, deep fried in vegetable oil. 

My mother's Chicken Tanghon, or what's left of  it..

The Macaroni Salad I also prepared the day before the fiesta. I used elbow macaroni for the pasta, cheddar cheese, raisins, pineapples and Best Foods Mayo Magic all purpose dressing. And I wouldn't recommend any other mayonnaise.

We also had Fried Chicken and some fish recipe, but I totally forgot to snap them. Anyway, the food may just be few and the selections are quite ordinary, but because the food served were prepared with love, they all were expectedly delicious..

Holy Week Food Challenge: Black Saturday

Shop at More Food Adventures

We woke up early for an early trip to El Salvador to visit the Divine Mercy Shrine.  We saw that another structure will soon rise, a community church. 

After our visit, we went straight to Gaisano Bulua for grocery shopping. If there was a healing mass, our stay at Divine Mercy would have been longer, but due to the Lenten Schedule, the ordinary schedule was not followed. 

 Although it was Black Saturday yet, we bought MEAT: Chicken, Beef and Pork. And as soon as we arrived at my parent's place, we cooked them in preparation for the Feast of San Vicente Ferrer which fell on the same day as Easter Sunday. We also cooked Nilagang Baka for our viand for lunch of Black Saturday. I guess you could say that lunch and all the way through all meals that day and the next, we had meat.. and more meat..

Except the chips that we bought, lol..
