We had bruschetta the other my husband prepared the tasty Italian dish alone, he didn’t let me see what he is doing until it was ready.  I have read that this is a wonderful summer appetizer and can be prepared with tomatoes, basil, garlic. Bruschetta has been popular in Italy since the 15th century and has different variations.

My husband uses these ingredients to prepare bruschetta with tomatoes – tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil leaves,  baguette, parmesan cheese and salt. He just mixed the ingredients all together in a clean bowl and put the mixture in top of the sliced baguette, the bread should be toast but we have no oven in our apartment so this version of bruschetta for us is good to go.

This is my poor man’s version  of egg tomato salad. It was getting late and I didn’t eat my lunch yet, cooking will take time so I boiled eggs and cut one tomato from the fridge, mixed them together with salt and ready to eat.

Eating with raw tomato in the table is the food I missed in the Philippines, we ate tomato most of the time. It is my family favorite side dish in partner with fried fish, meat and even eggs.

Taping fliers on your door is normal in Korea, there are times we could find 2 or 3 food fliers taped in our door from different super market or restaurants, every month there’s a small booklet too full of advertisements from different food establishments. So the other day when I went out to throw our garbage in the bin for biodegradable waste I found a Lotte Super flier in our door. I brought it  inside and just left it on top of our microwave oven.

My husband look at the flier before going to work and he found  a deal for red meat, they are on 37% sale or ￦1,000 for 100g of red meat. We are planning to have grilled meat and this is such a good deal so instead of buying marinated meat in the nearby super market I went to Lotte Super bringing the flier to the meat counter.

We grilled the steak last night in our balcony using our electric grill unlike grilling pork this is very easy. I didn’t spend so much time grilling the meat as my husband requested for medium rare steak. It was just too bad we have no steak sauce because my husband thought he doesn’t need it but for the last minute he wants a steak sauce but he has no desire of going down to the supermarket. I can’t because I am busy in the balcony.

When I am done grilling most of the  meat, I marinated the two steak left on the basin using water, soy sauce, salt and brown sugar. I also pour salt on the other two meat I am currently grilling so it has taste aside from being meaty.

Being busy online leaves me no choice but to eat food that are easy to prepare and cook. So I often eat noodles, boiled or fried egg, fried spam and even sometimes instant meal. This is my meal the other night noodles and bread, it brings back memories because we typically eat noodles and bread during rainy season or breakfast.

I remember every morning eating noodles with egg and rice before going to school. That’s what my mother normally prepare to us every morning when we have no left over viand from the previous night, there are times too when we have extra money we have hot dogs or longganisa on our breakfast table.

The other day I experimented cooking the hot dog by adding stir fried vegetables.  I added ginisa mix to add more taste other than salt. It was awesome for me but as usual my husband comment is it is crap without tasting it. Lol

Cooking this was very easy I sauted garlic and then add the hot dogs and vegetables when the hot dogs are little brown. After it I add ginisa mix and little salt and add little water to cook it.

Nothing really special with my adobo today I just cooked in sprite, add eggs and carrots. I was already tired eating normal adobo, it was kind of salty for me as the soy sauce and venigar in Korea are quite strong compare to the Philippines which soy sauce usually is sweeter.

I would like to add broccoli to my adobo but the supplies we had in the fridge is not enough so I just ate the broccoli raw while eating rice with my viand adobo.

After long years I am able to cook and taste longganisa in Korea, I bought one package from the Asian store in downtown the other day.  Longganisa is one of my favorite food to eat on breakfast probably most Filipino people too,  well I think I am too excited that even they are not well cook I ate already, haha but after eating I return the remaining longganisa to frying pan and friend them a little.

I would say those longganisa that can be bought in wet market is much better than the longganisa in package, I am expecting that this longganisa taste good because the packaging says it came from Pampanga but sad to say it is not impressive. Luck of taste and no flavor at all, just a processed meat in red coloring.

Samgyeopsal is a popular Korean dish, every where you can see barbecue or grill restaurants in Korea. Anyway I didn’t finish the work out I left the gym first so I can go to Noghyup Supermarket and shop for pork meat. I bought 1.5 kilos of meat marinated in soy sauce with carrots and onions.

I barbecued the meat in our balcony, I just opened the window and put the electric grill in top of the washing machine. It took me one hour to barbecue all of them.

I am very engrossed reading online last night when my husband asked me on how much likely I want to eat chicken and dumplings. I didn’t bother to answer because my mind is focused on what I am reading plus I don’t want to eat more food I am trying to lose weight. As he thought I don’t like going out the chilly weather he started preparing his meal by getting them on the fridge and that’s where I stopped reading and told him I thought he likes dumpling and chicken.

Well anyway on my husband last meal I have to cook white eggs with  cheese but it turns out only one cheese left so I have to go out and buy a package in the nearby GS25, aside from it my husband asked me to buy him dumplings and chicken if the brand he likes are available. While there, I bought noodles and sandwiches for me, the brand of chicken he likes was not available so I didn’t buy any, same with dumplings which is also not around but I still buy different package.

I got lucky with the noodles because it is not spicy, it was not also a processed noodles it uses fresh white noodles though the seasonings are not.

We are on juice diet and we are not supposed to eat anything solid but today we surrendered after few days of doing it so we had dumplings, chicken and chips. Tomorrow we promised  to start all over again, silly isn’t it?

My husband didn’t like the smell of the vegetable juice, I think he got tired smelling cabbages, cucumber and celery. So he is planning of  drinking more fruit juice instead, dunno if his plans going to change soon.
