Fried Rice

This is my fried rice version. It is also my hubby's all time favorite among the Filipino dishes that I have cooked so far.

Ingredients:

1 cup carrots in cubes
1 cup green peas
1 cube of beef bullion
1-2 lb of beef (sliced in cubes)
6 scrambled eggs
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 cup rice boiled in 2 cups of water

Roasted Turkey

I took this picture last Thanksgiving. Just looking at it, makes me drool. It also urged me to ask my hubby if we could roast a turkey one of these days. Fortunately we still have one in the freezer and he said we will have it next weekend because it takes time to thaw. Back in the Philippines when we roasted a turkey, we would only put a big bundle of lemon grass inside but here in the US my hubby uses stuffing mix, onions, celery and giblets to make the stuffing. At first I did not find it tasty but later I began to like it and now even crave it. My hubby usually does the cooking. We have a division of labor in the kitchen. Since he does most of the cooking, I clean the mess.

Stuffing Ingredients:

1-16 ounce bag of Pepperidge farm stuffing
2.5 cups of water
6 tablespoons of butter
chopped turkey giblets (liver optional)
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
8 to 16 ounces of sliced mushrooms
2 raw eggs

Optional: In addition to or instead of giblets one lb cooked and crumbled sausage.

Sweet Jackfruit

When I first saw a pack of jack fruit at the Asian store, I did not hesitate to grab one. It has been more than two years since the last time I had some. If I lived in the Philippines I probably wouldn't crave it so much because I can get it there whenever I want. Actually we have a few jack fruit trees growing in our yard there in the Philippines. I ate the whole pack of jack fruit by myself. My hubby tried some but he did not like it that much because for him it was too sweet, so I ended up eating the rest by myself.
