It Just Grew..

We were on our way yesterday to school and while my father was maneuvering the car to a halt, this is what caught our eyes.. Watermelon growing in our front lawn. We didn't plant it there, it just grew? How? Hmmm.. My mom said that probably someone ate watermelon and spew the seeds there, and it grew. Rain and sunshine fed it, but not us. Thus, we consider it a blessing. 

I shared the photo I took with my co teachers and one of them said that it was a sign for good things to come. Good luck is what it is meant. If that is so, then I accept that explanation, hehehe..

From Lechon to Bamboo Shoots

Shop at More Food Adventures

My friend's mom, after much conversations with her on the phone during the week-long confinement of my friend at the hospital, sent me this huge container full of  Lechon from yesterday's fiesta celebration. I didn't know what to say, but thanked her for this. I mean, I didn't expect anything in return for comforting her and calming her during the nights she would call about my friend's sickness. 

Anyway, as I do not eat pork much these days, I gave the Lechon to my sister, who cooked part of the Lechon into some Bamboo Shoots dish.. 

The other half was baked to reheat the Lechon. Of course, the Bamboo Shoots dish with the Lechon slices was yummy..  You can still taste the Lechon there, but the dish isn't that overpowering anymore.. When I arrived home, it was tempting to eat.. hahaha.. I tasted it to be able to blog about it.. Just a taste.. :-)
