Cross out

Why didn't you mend me halfway? You could see me bleeding, why couldn't you put pressure on the wound? You only think about yourself. You only think about yourself. You better bend before I go...on the first train to Mexico.

BUTTERED PINK SALMON

Fry the Salmon in Butter!
Simple and Easy

SAUCES
  • This is best to serve with Lea & Perrins: Worcestershire sauce! 
  • Soy sauce with kalamansi would suffice

SIDE DISH

  • Baguio beans, kernel corn, carrots and mashed potatoes are excellent with pink salmon! 
  •  sadly; i dont have any of those in the fridge. Stay tuned for my mashed potatoes coming right up this week! :)


STEPS & TIPS
  • When you put a tablespoon of butter into a hot pan be sure you spread it all over the pan while it melts
  • DONT BURN THE BUTTER! (you shouldn't let the butter turn into brown before putting the salmon into the pan)
  • Place the strips of salmon meat 
  • And for about 3-4 minutes on each side of the salmon: flip it (it doesnt need to take that long to fry the salmon meat because its meat is sooooo soft and if you cut it into thin strips then it'll be easier to cook)

look the picture
the meat is PINK while the outside is REDDISH BROWN

WHY THIS BLOG?



It's to help people out there who are too busy to cook but still find time to cook. It has always been my passion to cook for people whom I love. Like during christmas, i always get up in the morning to prepare the foods that are going to be serve night before christmas (buena noche). And that's has always been so fun - bonding with my parents, getting so dirty in the kitchen and all plus I get to learn.

Learning was the side dish. Fun in cooking is the main course. I enjoy cooking everything from desserts to pasta to pop corn. I know I have lots to learn and lots to experience. So this is just the beginning of it. I hope all the recipes I put in here would be beneficial to those who wanted to prepare something nice, and special for their love ones. 

So that's a dish I got from my mom; after shock for a lunch meal: 
AVOCADO IN MILK
It's like a milk shake (-) the shake. ^_^

INGREDIENTS
  • Carnation evaporated milk (alaska preferred)
  • Sugar/Equal (optional)
  • Crushed Ice
  • Avocado
PROCEDURE 
Prepare the avocado by cutting it in half, throwing the seed out (and plant it somewhere near your house) and scope the avocado with a spoon.
On a bowl, pour in the carnaiton evaporated milk, as much as you want, and crush ice. Put the avocado. Now, Taste it. If you think you got a sweet tooth then add equal. For the one I did, I was happy without sugar. Haha ^_^

Share it with someone. It makes the taste much more
