'Goodbye, Summer' Lunch.


Since tomorrow officially brings with it the Fall season, we had a sort of last hurrah for summer during lunch today (much like how Tessa welcomed Summer before).


On the menu:


Grilled Pork Liempo


Ensaladang Itlog na Maalat (with tomatoes and some cilantro for crunch and spice)


Of course, paired with steaming, white rice.


I'm proud to say that I whipped it all up from scratch in about an hour, largely due to our spanking new lean, mean, fat reducing, grilling machine. (Although I don't know how much fat you can really reduce when you start with cholesterol-laden liempo in the first place :0P)


While eating, I looked at Mr. A and asked:


L: What's missing that would really complete this meal?


And without missing a beat, he answered correctly:


A: Ice cold Coke!


I love it when he does that hehe :0)


Sad to say, the preggy lady has given up caffeine so we had to make do with ice-cold water :0P Still, it was a very satisfying meal that brought back memories of summers spent at the beach :0)

Hi, Jenee!

Yup, merong itlog na maalat dito... one of the perks of living in Cali hehe :0)
The green stuff is cilantro, or wansuy. Sarap sya with tomatoes as side to anything grilled :0)
