CHOCO HUMBA (Sigh)

I just realized that it has been awhile since I last made my favorite dish.  I thought it will be relaxing to make one after all these years.

The members:








      2 kilos belly
      Make sure its thickly sliced



               



        1/4th slice of panucha        












                 or you can substitute the panucha with
                 200g to 250g reaaally brown sugar.    

                   


                            2 Cups light soy sauce
           


        1 Tsp. freshly ground black pepper
             


                    6 pcs. lemon.  Don't use vinegar as this will
                    cause the sauce to be watery







                A pack of dried banana blossom

 




                  1 - 2 liters of soup stock or water

 






                         1/2 Liter of fresh pineapple juice
                         (or canned unsweetened)
... and of course, the native unsweetened
Chocolate medallions!




 The choreography:

1.  Boil pork belly cutlets in water until soft.  Season it like nilaga but with very little salt.  Throw in banana blossoms, black pepper and roasted peanuts (optional).  Continue boiling uncovered so that soup evaporates.
2.  When the soup reaches a sticky sauce like consistency, pour in pineapple juice and boil some more - uncovered
3.  When the pineapple juice reaches a sticky sauce like consistency, pour in soy sauce and mix in panucha or brown sugar as substitute.... squeeze in juice of lemon.
4.  Throw in one medallion of chocolate medallion (thin).  continue boiling until sauce thickens.  Season.  follow your taste.
5.  Serve with kaning lamig.  Easy di ba?

FEEL ME

Insensitivity becomes an excuse because of ego. It is a fact that some things are not meant to be.  We have no choice but to suffer uncertainties and the pain of knowing that some people will just play along.  its the way of the world... no one can control that.  But things would have been better if one is sensitive enough to at least recognize how one feels.  But then again its the way of the world.  one is basically is on his own... its the way of the world... no will care about how you feel... not even the most important person to you.  your best way out? just get out.  love is only a belief... its nothing. It's superficial.  My heart right now feels that no one deserves a beat - no one.
