Food Friday : Cassava Cake

My first time to make this using the cassava we got from our garden. It was a hit!

Food Friday : Roast Beef

Our dinner few days ago served ala Pancake style. Roast beef with mushroom sauce on top of a bread with mashed potato on the side. Maybe it will take a while before I'll cook this again. Or beef for that matter. What with the high cost of LPG now. I don't want to waste money on gas just for tenderizing the meat. It took me several hours before the meat became tender! Gah! Which reminds me, we need to buy pugon for that purpose. Why not a pressure cooker? Well, I have a phobia in using one. I once saw how it exploded in my cousin's kitchen. Takot ako!

Food Friday : Pork Binagoongan

Our lunch several days ago. Served with garlic fried rice, scrambled egg and fried eggplant. Would have been best with shredded mango but I was not able to get one that day. So I just settled with the eggplant which is also best with binagoongan.
