Gabi for lunch? Becoming Filipino! Philippine Province Living June Trip...

Becoming Filipino? Today we prepare gabi or taro root for
lunch. I learned how to peel and cut the gabi leaves so they could be cooked
down into a ginataang. I have had plenty of experience as a young boy growing
up in Alabama shelling peas, but this was a little different experience. After experiencing
the mess this makes of your hands, I would a lot rather shell a bushel of peas
instead!



While eating this meal, I was expecting a more slimy texture
like that of okra, but it actually was not that bad. The taste with the coconut
milk was actually pretty good. This is a common dish of the Filipinos in our
area. I guess you could say I am really becoming Filipino now!

Cauayan Public Market- The Search for Fresh Pancit! Philippine Province...





When going to the market with Maly, you have to be ready to go from end to end in search of whatever she needs. If she cannot find it in one stall, she will search the whole market until she finds what she is looking for.



Today we were in search of fresh pancit. Fresh pancit noodles are the best for making this Filipino favorite! We had a lot to make so we needed to find someone with a good supply. Luckily for us, we finally did find a stall that had it. We ended up getting 2 kilos to bring home with us.



You will notice, this saleslady had a pretty good audience as she was told she would be on Youtube! They all gave her a cheer!

Driving in the Philippines - Traffic Jam in the Barangay? June Trip VLO...

Cows, cows, cows! Everywhere there are cows! It was a
traffic jam coming out of our Barangay this morning. It seemed everyone was out
taking their cows somewhere to graze. Wouldn’t you like it if your morning
commute only had to deal with a few cows?

Come take a ride with us as we go to fill up the MIO. We got
a full tank for 120PHP which is equivalent to approximately $2.40 in the US.
This is for 3 litters which is less than a gallon of gas. Yes, the price of
fuel is expensive here.

My Camera Was Stolen! A GLIMPSE OF PROVINCE LIFE - June Trip VLOG 13

My camera was stolen! After a hard morning at work and a
good lunch, I decided to take a short nap. While I was peacefully sleeping, I
had my camera stolen. Luckily for me, it was used to take a stolen video and
then returned.
A quick lesson learned was that I need to be on alert at all
times. Even while in the comfort of my own home, I have some sneaky little guys
that run around looking for stolen shots. Hope you will enjoy this video!

Maly's Secret to Great Chicken Tinola - June Trip VLOG 11

Chicken tinola is one of my favorite dishes while in the
Philippines. Maly has always made sure to make this while I am home. Her recipe
is one of the best I have had. Maly shares her secrets of what makes her
chicken tinola so good.

Chicken tinola or tinolang manok is one of the authentic
Filipino dishes in the Philippines. Traditionally, garlic, onion and ginger are
sautéed, respectively, followed by the chicken. Sautéing these ingredients to
induce the flavor of the ginger are key. Later you will add the chayote and
pepper leaves to complete the dish. 

This is a wonderful meal whether the heat is turned up and
it is 140 degrees outside or if it is a cold winters day with frost biting at
your nose. The delicious flavors of the chicken, garlic, ginger, chayote and
pepper leaves make this one of the best chicken soups you can have.


We hope you have enjoyed this cooking with Maly episode and
will come back to watch more of our future videos.
