Tips in cooking

Tricks for using Skewers

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using them so they won't burn during cooking.
If you prefer metal skewers, which have a long life, use square or twisted types, which will hold the food better than round ones.
To keep food from slipping off during cooking and turning, use two parallel skewers rather than a single skewer.
If you're using a wooden skewer, as you thread the food move the pieces close together, with no space showing. If the skewer is metal, you can leave small spaces between the pieces.
When using foods with different cooking times (such as shrimp and beef), don't combine them on the same skewer. Instead, make skewers of just shrimp or just beef, start cooking the beef first, and then combine them on a serving platter.

How to use Chopsticks

Place the first chopstick so that thicker part rests at the base of your thumb and the thinner part rests on the lower side of your middle fingertip. Bring your thumb forward so that it traps the stick firmly in place. At least two or three inches of chopstick should extend beyond your fingertip. Relax. Now position the other chopstick so that it is held against the side of your index finger by the end of your thumb. Tap the ends of both sticks on the plate, while holding them at a slight angle to the table. Allow them to slide just a little so that the ends line up. Place a little pressure on the top chopstick. It will pivot on your index finger just above the second knuckle. Remember: the bottom chopstick is stationary. The tip of the top chopstick will move towards the tip of the bottom chopstick.Encourage this. Hold those tips together firmly enough to grasp a piece of food and lift it off the plate. Place delicately into your waiting mouth. Although there's no need to stoop, you may wish to lean over your plate a bit during your first attempts. It might save you a clean-up!

About Honey

To substitute honey for sugar in recipes, start by substituting up to half of the sugar called for. With a little experimentation, honey can replace all the sugar in some recipes.
When baking with honey, remember the following: Reduce any liquid called for by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used. Add l/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used. Reduce oven temperature by 25 F to prevent over-browning.
Because of its high fructose content, honey has a higher sweetening power than sugar. This means you can use less honey than sugar to achieve the desired sweetness.
When measuring honey, coat the measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray or vegetable oil before adding the honey. The honey will slide right out.
To retain honey's wonderfully luxuriant texture, always store it at room temperature; never in the refrigerator. If your honey becomes cloudy, don't worry. It's just crystallization, a natural process. Place your honey jar in warm water until the crystals disappear. If you're in a hurry, place it in a microwave-safe container and heat it in the microwave on HIGH for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Remember, never boil or scorch honey.

Where's the party?

Here in my town Halloween party is so popular compared to Christmas party because our honorable Mayor Rodrigo Roa duterte doesn't permit selling firecrackers during Christmas season. During the old days when "BER" months is already fast approaching you can see a lot of firecrackers and stores that sells fire crackers but this time you can even see a single store selling firecracker because our mayor doesn't permit them due to unwanted accidents brought about by firecrackers. There were a lot of child and adults rush into the hospital because of firecracker incident. That's why I can say that Halloween has much more enjoyable event than Christmas because you can see parties everywhere inside the cemetery ground.

Where is everyone?

As I arrived home. There was no one to talk to and silence is everywhere. All of my family members went to their hometown to spend their Halloween season. I was the only one left here to guard the house. I just keep myself busy so that I can't feel the emptiness in my heart. I love being with them because it is where I can share my thoughts and ideas of different topics and issues but since they were not here, I'll just stay in front of the computer and make friends online and read interesting articles on the web.

More ornamental seedlings in Kidapawan area

During the old days seedlings of flowers are very much available in Davao City. Many gardeners buy seedling and grow them in their backyard garden, when the plants are big enough and flashes more flowers, plant hobbyist sell them, that is the secret that most gardeners used to do here in Davao. As time goes by, the availability of ornamental seedlings decreases that's why Davao City gardeners travel as far as Kidapawan area just to buy ornamental seedling. The Kidapawan ornamental seedlings are much cheaper than the Davao City producers. As a result, the buyers of seedlings for Davao decreased because most of them go directly to Kidapawan producers to buy their stocks.

A new Filipino -Aussies is elected to run an office downunder

A MAJOR milestone for Filipinos in Australia. Filipino-Australians Jess Diaz and Irene Ensomo Broad are the first Pinoys to be elected into public office at the local level Down Under.

Diaz, a lawyer won a seat in the council of Blacktown City, one of the largest suburbs of New South Wales with the largest concentration of Filipinos in Australia — 21,000 registered in the 2006 Australian census.

Diaz is a former schoolteacher and was senior legal counsel for Citibank Australia before going into private legal practice. He has been an active community leader, a member of the Jaycees, Lions, and the Knights of Rizal.

On the other hand, Broad is the first Filipino female councilor reelected in the shire of Temora, and the first Filipino-Australian to be elected into public office in the state of New South Wales.

Credited for crafting town policies that has made Temora one of the most friendly towns in New South Wales, she was first elected as an independent councilor in 2004 in the predominantly Caucasian district.

Philippine Consul General Maria Theresa Lazaro said that while Australian mainstream society acknowledges Filipino-Australians as active participants in nation-building, “this is the first time that Filipino-Australians in New South Wales have exhibited interest and involvement in Australian mainstream politics.”

She said this interest to seek public office and to be politically empowered augurs well for other Filipino-Australians who may be encouraged to do the same.

Philippiines got the title "the new destination of the year for ECOTOURISM

The French can’t seem to get enough of the Philippines these days.

Fresh from being featured in two seasons of “Koh Lanta,” the French version of “Survivor,” the country recently clinched another honor: the coveted “Ecotourism Destination of the Year” title in the 2009 edition of Nature, one of France’s biggest travel fairs.

A jubilant Joseph Ace Durano, secretary of the Philippine Department of Tourism, broke the good news at the recently concluded Top Resa travel fair in Paris.

Colleagues from DOT and the Philippine Tourism Authority as well as representatives from the government and private sectors, which included some of the country’s biggest tour oper ators and resort establishments, joined him in the four-day fair.

The country’s participation culminated in a cocktail party hosted by DOT for France’s top travel executives. Dubbed as “Mabuhay Night,” the affair was hosted by Frenchman and “Koh Lanta” star Denis Brogniart and featured the Bayanihan Dancers, May Bayot and Acoustic Jive, champion bartender Ryan Burgos and “Koh Lanta” finalists.

Unlike Top Resa, which marked its 30th year, Nature appeals more to direct consumers as opposed to industry movers. The Philippines has been joining Top Resa for the past three years, and will debut next year in Nature. As the sole featured destination, all eyes will likely be on the Philippines.

“An adventure travel fair like Nature mirrors the French people’s preference for ecotourism,” said Durano. “It combines nature-based travel with a bit of physical activity and cultural immersion.”
