Mrs. D, my sis in law, grew up in Mexico and learned to make salsa the old fashioned way. It is very labor intense but the flavor is worth every sweat and tears!!! I have used her basic recipe to make guacamole and mango salsa. Here is a similar recipe for pico de gallo minus Mrs. D's secret seasonings.
Whatevah salsa flavor you choose, make it a TEErific one!!!

First step is choosing a wok that matches your needs & budget. I prefer to cook with a round bottom wok. Wok cooking is very fast, so gather all your ingredients first before heating up the wok. I use the wok for all my everyday cooking.
Here is my simple & quick recipe for a healthy sinigang (Filipino sour soup dish).
1. Spices (lemon pepper, garlic & onion powder), tarmind soup base & olive oil spray
2. Chop up onions (1/4 cup) and 5 cherry tomatoes
3. 5 catfish nuggets or tofu
4. Bitter Melon Leaves (one handful bunch)
5. String Beans (1/2 cup)
6. Coat the wok with the olive oil spray under medium heat.
7. Start with the onions & brown the catfish nuggets before adding the tomatoes.
8. Add 2 cups of water and allow the mixture to simmer.
9. Season with the spices, start with one teaspoon first and taste.
10. Add the string beans, constantly stir the mixture. And 5 minutes before serving, add the bitter melon leaves into the mixture to cook.
11. Approximate wok cooking time: 20 mins.
12. Eat it as a soup or over steamed rice.

This YouTube video (gusto14321) caught my interest. I love halo-halo especially the ones I had back in our small town in the Philippines. The ingredients were fresh not canned except for the evaporated milk and they used the metal shaver on a block of ice. Our local street vendor prepared the mixture right in front of you. I am salivating as I write this.
Well, I am on my way to the next stop to find that TEErific halo-halo perfection.....stay tuned.

Our grandparents got us "hooked" on catfish when we were little. They would cook it in way that you just could not resist eating it. And being finicky kids, that was a major accomplishment. So in honor of Grandparents' Day, this blog post is dedicated to them. Our mom, now a great grandma loves fried catfish. Because of her dietary restrictions, we have to find healthy ways to cook catfish. This is one simple recipe she loves. This is my recipe, you take a little bit of this, a smidgen of that, squeeze this and add flavor of that to the mix. Not one for exact measurements, you just know when it is right or other words hit or miss. You be the judge and adjust according to your taste buds.

Mahina Hawaiian BBQI usually call my order in to avoid any lunch or dinner hour crowd. Our fav (Cee & Tee) is the Seafood Mix (Crispy Shrimp, Mahi-Mahi, BBQ Chicken). We prefer teriyaki chicken over the BBQ chicken so we substitute at no extra charge plus one order of spam musubi. Total cost: $12.
I have not eaten at the location but it does look clean and presentable. Friendly & smiling cashiers are a hit and miss. Ample parking spaces. No desserts but Baskin Robbins and Starbucks are close by if you have a craving for sweets.
