I Need To Relax!

I've been very busy these past days. Symone's final exams ended last week. Symone and I was very busy reviewing and at the same time my son Liam was sick for four days. Summer has finally started this week. Hubby will be having his holy week vacation and I am so excited to spend more quality time with my family. I told hubby that I really need to relax a little. I wanted to have a massage but having a massage these days can be very expensive. Hubby told me to look for an educational dvd about massage so that we can both learn and later on apply it on ourselves to save money. Hubby and I love to go to massage parlors to unwind and relax. Lucky me, I found this educational dvd that has stone massage video, breast massage and hand reflexology

Here's the teaser of the educational dvd about massages

What's For Lunch?

Hubby has been telling me to cook PININYAHANG MANOK (Pineapple Chicken) ages ago. I don't have any idea how to cook it so last night, hubby said to look for it on the net and so glad I've found it. There were so many versions of this food but I stick with the most simple and easy to follow recipe that I found at GROUP RECIPES

Here are the ingredients and the step by step procedure on how to cook it just in case you want to try it out for yourself.

Pininyahang Manok Pineapple Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

1 whole chicken, cut into serving pieces
1 can pineapple chunks, set aside the syrup
1 Tbsp oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium-sized onions, chopped
1/2 cup evaporated milk or coconut milk
patis (fish sauce), to taste

Directions

Marinade the chicken with the pineapple syrup for a few minutes.
Pour the chicken with the marinade in a pot, cook until the marinade evaporates and the chicken is lightly brown. (You’re not exactly frying the chicken–you just want to seal in the juices.)
When done, set aside the chicken on one side of the pot.
Add the oil, saute garlic and onions then mix together with the lightly browned chicken and cook for about a minute.
Add the pineapple chunks then pour the evaporated milk. Cover and bring to a simmer. (If you are using coconut milk, do not cover, otherwise it will curdle).
By the time the chicken is done, the sauce would be rather thick and creamy, stir then season with patis.
Simmer again for 2 minutes then turn-off the heat.

Best serve with steamed rice.

Here is the Pinanyahang Manok that I cooked for lunch which made my Hubby's day.

Hubby told me that the taste was good.... hmmm... not bad for my first shot n this food.

Finally... My Own Dot Com

Finally I have my own domain. Proud Mommy just celebrated her first blogoversary last month and as my way of celebrating it I just bought my own dot com. I know that it'll be a lot of hardworks (changing my url on some sites) but I guess I'm ready in putting this blog on the next level. I'll be having a blog makeover soon also so I am so excited with these changes on my first ever blog.

Right now I have 3 blogs (including this blog). Two of my newest will be announced soon. I am still trying to put up some stuffs and I hope to finish them soon.

here is my newly bought domain.... www.triciamgalvez.com
