Pochero

Beef soup with large pieces of beef and pechay (cabbage family)

Rotisserie free-range chicken

Free-range chicken is far tastier than the chicken we eat in the U.S.

Pinakbet

Sautéed squash, eggplant, green beans, okra, onions, garlic with shrimp and bago-ong.

Sa-ang

This shellfish is called Sa-ang. You have to pull the large chunk of meat with a fork. It is not my favorite (I really like oysters) but definitely worth trying. I still have memories of eating smaller versions of this as a child.

Jaime and Hedda

My brother and his wife Hedda at Boosog. As always, it got livelier when they got here.

Dodong and Maritess

I love this shot of my brother and his wife Maritess. So sweet!
