I was looking around for a Goto Recipe. I wanted to serve some to add variety to our daily breakfast menu. Good thing I found a one that I really like. Why don’t you try it? I’m sure you’ll love it too.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups glutinous rice (malagkit)
• 1/2 kg beef entrails, boiled and tenderized
• 1 liter rice washing
• 1 medium sized onion, sliced lengthwise
• 1 clove crushed
• 1 tbsp ginger, sliced lengthwise
• salted fish sauce (patis) for seasoning
• cooking oil
• 1 tbsp saffron food color (optional)

Procedure:

1. Heat enough cooking oil in the cauldron.
2. Once the oil is hot enough, add crushed garlic, sliced onions and ginger. Stir slightly until the sauted ingredients turn golden brown.
3. Add tenderized beef entrails and stir ingredients thoroughly.
4. Add the right amount of salted fish sauce. Continue stirring.
5. Add glutinous rice. Continue stirring until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
6. Once the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, pour one liter of rice washing carefully into the cauldron. Stir a little more.
7. Reduce thea and cover the cauldron. Cook for 10 minutes.
8. After 10 minutes, stir. See if the rice has already risen and softened into porridge consistency. This is the basis for determining if the rice is already cooked.
9. If rice is not fully cooked yet, cover the cauldron again and cook for another five minutes.
10. Serve hot. Garnish the goto arrozcaldo with celery or fried garlic as toppings. Good for 8 servings.

You can try this Goto Recipe not only for your breakfast meals but also for your snack particularly in the cold season.

Friends are essential to our overall well-being. When I was young I had a lot of friends but then I was longing for a family – a complete one, that is. I was raised by my lola and how I wished I had a complete family.

So when I grew up I was in a hurry to have my own family. Now, I’m very happy I have my very own little family but unfortunately, I have no more friends. LOL!

Well, can you blame me? I am at home 24/7 and I haven’t seen my friends in years! That’s why I am thankful for blogging. I’m slowly rebuilding my network of friends. Some I have only seen once or twice but then I feel closer to them because I am always updated with their lives and it’s all because of blogging!

Do you know where the End of Internet is? If you’re thinking I’m going out of my mind already from too much online activities then you’re wrong. I’ve been to the End of Internet and has lived to see the tale. So where did I find the End of Internet? Read this:

The End of the Internet
Congratulations! This is the last page.
Thank you for visiting the End of the Internet. There are no more links.

You must now turn off your computer and go do something productive.

Go read a book, for pete’s sake.

I found this at the end of my Google Reader after I have read all the blogs I subscribe to. How about you? Have you been to the End of Internet?

This is the most recent picture of me with my kid, Z. Z is my one and only child and until now we’re not planning to have another one. He is mostly obedient but like other kids sometimes he can’t help but disobey when he’s having fun. For now, his playmate is our shih tzu named, Chewee. He loves him to bits and teases him crazy. Chewee loves him and knows how to play with our little boy.
