Lengua Estofado (Ox’s Tongue in Tomato Sauce)

Lengua Estofado  (Ox's Tongue in Tomato Sauce)

I’m frustrated. I was planning to make a lot of Halloween dishes towards the end of October but things happened and my daughter got hospitalized for four days. I was left with spoiled and not so spoiled ingredients.

Would you mind if I make Halloween dishes this November? I know you wouldn’t, you would probably like to see how crazy I am making Halloween stuffs past Halloween.

Another thing I’m frustrated about is I miss cooking. If you will notice the few posts before this are all about eating out. I have no time to cook.

Well, here’s to hoping I could leave all my problems to October and step right into November without them.

BTW, Do you know it’s my tatay’s {dad’s} birthday today? Well, when there’s a special occasion then there’s also special food in the table. My dad loves saucy dishes like this. I know some of you may not like the sound of ox tongue being served on special occasions because I know that some of you just found out today that ox tongues are cooked and eaten.

Uh…… Happy Halloween!! LOL! Just kidding.

Ox Tongues are really expensive here in the Philippines. Its price ranges from P400 – 500 {$9+} per kilo so you won’t see it grace the table everyday. And another reason why it doesn’t grace the table everyday is because you’ll need a lot of time to prepare and soften the tongue before you can even cook it.

This is what the tongue looks like after boiling….

This is my mom’s version of Lengua. I grew up eating Lengua cooked this way and I have yet to try and make my own version but I will….soon.

As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for acti As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for activities that will help support Twinkle's Immunity, Brain and Bones. Good thing this All Around Development Kit from @Lactum3 arrived over the week, kaya naman ito ang aming bonding activity this weekend!

Ang saya ni Twinkle because it has all the fun exercises and activities she really enjoys doing. We planted Arugula, Mustard, and Alfalfa seeds, painted the post, solved a puzzle, and played Twister. Afterwards, I made sure to give her a glass of cold Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which helps support her all-around development in Immunity, Brain and Bones with proper nutrition and stimulation.
