Omelet with potatoes, roast red bell pepper and Manchego cheese
Bobby Flay prepared omelet with potatoes, roast red bell pepper with Manchego cheese. As I’m watching him prepare this dish I was imagining the smell, flavor, and texture of fried potatoes, roast red bell peppers and cheese

Abalone Mushroom
Abalone Mushroom and wanted to share my findings. The mushroom is popular in Japan and Central Europe and can be found in the temperate regions of the world from autumn through winter. First cultivated in Hungary, it is now mainly cultivated in China and Japan. Similar to oyster mushroom, this species can reach a width of five inches and forms on a very short stem offset to the side and attached to the tree.

Day after Burger King
For lunch I will prepare bruschetta with prosciutto and sprinkle Parmesan cheese. Nice healthy lunch and later in the afternoon workout in the gym.

Tyropita (Greek Cheese Pie)
yropita (Greek Cheese Pie) is one of my all time favorite Greek food. Half a pound of Greek feta cheese, eggs, olive oil, butter, and Phyllo dough in the frozen food section. I have made this many times and have been lazy lately. Definitely one of these days I will be making it for appetizer. I’m thinking of paring this with Pinot Grigio with its pale straw-yellow in color.

Burger King – A.1.® Steakhouse XT™ Burger
Mom wanted to try their new A.1. Steakhouse XT Burger and I couldn’t say no to mom. I figured it would be okay since I don’t have fast food that often. I was so afraid to take a bite because I know the caloric content will be quite high…

Kare Kare (Beef Stew in Peanut Sauce)
Kare-Kare is another popular Filipino dish rich and meaty stew simmered in peanut sauce. This dish is typically served on special occasions. I have prepared this many times and family/friends love this dish every time I prepare it. It will take a couple of hours but worth the wait and leftovers are so good because all the flavors blend so well.

Parmesan Crusted Tilapia
The only fish that comes close is Waterfront Bistro in the frozen food section. This will be easy; all we have to do is cook the fish in the oven.

Strawberries!!!
Strawberry season is here and I just purchased these beautiful strawberries. I will try one and leave the rest for Mom to eat. Many years ago I can consume all the strawberries I want and now I can only have one if I’m lucky. I don’t know why all of a sudden I became allergic to this fruit

Mom’s Adobo Version
Wow!!! I can’t believe it that mom is going to cook dinner tonight instead of opening a box of frozen food purchased at Trader Joe’s or Safeway. She defrosted chicken thighs and pork bellies purchased at 99 Ranch. Mom used rice vinegar instead of cane vinegar.

The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards
From where we were sitting you can see the vineyard, wine tasting room, and golf course. With the sun beating down on our skin, I suggested we order wine with lunch….so many wines to choose from. We wanted something light, crisp, and will compliment our food.
