Today’s ECQ UPDATE:
I wasn’t able to watch Pres. Duterte’s Speech but here’s what I got as per Facebook Friends….
As per Pres. Duterte’s Speech, April 27, 2020.
After the 15th of May, if the ECQ will not be extended anymore, we should all assume that a GCQ will be imposed on ALL of the regions affected by the COVID-19. Let us help Malacañang in informing people of the new normal we have to follow. Familiarize yourselves to avoid confusion.

So as you can see, we can’t really go back to the old “normal” as we knew it. Not until a vaccine is found anyway. We have to go by the GCQ and remain staying at home as much as we can.
Okay, enough of the ECQ, Let’s talk about LECHON KAWALI KARE-KARE.
To be honest, Kare-Kare is one of the dishes that I used to be intimidated to cook. Mukha kasi syang mahirap lutuin because there are lots of ingredients. As a matter of fact, I used ready made mixes before but I felt that there’s something lacking with regards to the flavor. I put peanut butter and experimented with the flavor.. but I always went back to old school crushed peanuts and rice flour. The crushed peanuts I use are not the dry ones ha. It’s the one with oil which you can buy at your nearest wet market — kinda like peanut butter but it’s not creamy nor sweet. It’s just like wet crushed peanuts. Oh and I love love using atsuete seeds!
I think I’ll have another round of this next week!
Kayo mga mommies, anong favorite nyo i-Kare-Kare?
