My version of pata tim

This is Friday evening, i just came from work, before i went home, i passed by the local store to buy some of the things i need for my planned meals this Saturday.  As i am at work most of the time during the weekdays, it is only on Saturdays and Sundays that i really has the time to cook.  Well, of course i washed, sliced and seasoned the meats and fish(es) i will use for my planned meals.  Breakfast should come easy, scrambled eggs, pancakes with maple syrup and orange juice will be a good starter for a day.  I don't think there is a need to go into the details of preparing scrambled eggs and pancakes so we move for cooking the lunch.  I have started to clean pork and prepare the ingredients.   Here is how to cook pata tim.

1 pork pata (front leg) about 1.5 kilo                Procedure:
8 pcs shitake mushrooms                              1.  Combine all ingredients including pata in a stockpan, 
3/4 cup soy sauce                                               cover and cook to high heat until mixture comes to boil
2 pcs star anise                                             2.  Lower heat to simmering and continue cooking until pork     
2 pcs laurel leaves                                             is  tender.  Add water if needed
2 tbspoon sherry or rice wine                           3.  Add seasoning according to taste
1 bunch of spring onion
enough water to cover the pork pata
I am sure we will have a happy lunch time with this delicious pata tim

My Meatloaf

Finally, i was able to find time to cook meatloaf.  It took quite a while before I could cook this recipe because I do not have oven big enough to contain this loaf of meat.  But with my new 'paellera" there is no need for me to have oven, one can cook almost everything in this wonderful pan.  So now, here it is my meatloat.

@work with my team

        With the increasing report of abuses involving women and children, our office can't help but be concerned  on the management of how the police should handle cases like these.  The initial action would be how to protect their rights be they are victims or offenders.  As you see, these part of citizenry should not be treated like common criminals, no special treatment particularly the offenders, but just to retain and maintain their dignity and to keep their identity confidential while the case or trial is on going.  So our office, mandated to have control and supervision over the police, laid out several policies that would guide the police officers on how to handle cases of women and of children in conflict with the law.         Those policies were set for implementation years ago, foremost among them is the establishment of Women's Desk in every police stations.  The committee on Gender Awareness Develo...

after the storm

Rain, rain, go away... here in the Philippines at this time of the year, the rain never stops, storms and typhoons are always nearby... water, water everywhere.  Gloomy days just like my heart, drowning in emptiness but i find hope and inspiration in knowing that there are other people whose problems are enormous but still they are standing and keeping their fingers cross hoping against hope that the next day will be a better one.  I don't enjoy seeing miserable life, its just the thought that our problems are not unconquerable, that every problem has solution, and that everything will fit the picture at the right time. I have been spending time surfing the net looking for recipe and tips on good housekeeping and articles on health.  Oh i'd like to read on and on to have something to blog about.  Hey, i am going to be an expert blogger in no time, watch me.!!!    That is why heavy rains are at times good coz i will have plenty of time reading for my blog...
