After watching Julie and Julia, I got inspired to embark on my own culinary journey...not to Master the Art of French Cooking but to Master the Art of Filipino Cooking ....maybe according to my childhood taste buds.
My humble beginnings began in a small town in Philippines (zooming in like Google Earth) > Luzon > Pangasinan > Rosales > Santa Maria > Tayug > San Nicolas > corner house on Luna Street. Maternal grandparents & great aunt were our caregivers while Mom was teaching at a distant town elementary school and Dad was somewhere in the Pacific Ocean on a US Navy ship.
There will be lots of flash-backs and flash-forwards in this journey so hang on tight as my time machine gets ready to take you back to my hometown style of Filipino cooking.
JUST CALL ME TEE....... Explore, Experience, Enrich LIFE and add a bit of humor along the way.
I can't wait! Just think...maybe one day we'll get you to write a book, then you'll be on ABC promoting it. Then eventually you'll have your own series on the Food Network. Do we get free tickets to your studio?? Good Luck in your adventures my friend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteMimi ~ not only do you get free tickets but VIP front row seats and invites to all the red carpet galas....pinky promise my dear sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteAs Julia has her famous closing line....here is mine "MANGANTAYON" (Let's Eat in Ilocano - my hometown dialect)
Goodluck on your journey, would love to see recipes and thought provoking insights
ReplyDelete@avflorist ~ salamat (TY) for your well-wishes. It's a journey long overdue. I am excited to see where it will take us. Sit back and enjoy the ride.....MANGANTAYON..!!!
ReplyDeleteThat movie, and book, really made me want to do the same thing, but I just can't seem to get myself started. I hope you have fun with it! Can't wait to see all the great recipes that you make.

@Anne, I don't know about having great recipes but good enough to satisfy my toughest critics > > > my family & friends. Hope you'll join me in my journey outside my cooking comfort zone to experience my culture & food. As we say in my dialect....MANGAN TAYON (Let's Eat).
