If I can go outside with a toque on and boots and sink my feet into the snow to get to the barbecue , so can you! Don’t let a little windchill factor deter you from enjoying grilled liempo on your barbecue rotisserie!

Next time you need any hard to find ingredients and gadgets, come to Betty Q’s emporium!

We’re cool with the idea of a community g-sale to support MM’s feeding program and should be able to host it in our place. Our village have ample parking and our home has a big enough front yard to set up numbers of table. Hell, we can even roll out the BBQ so we can try the beef ribs in MM’s recent blog entry together with some imported libation..:-)

I’ll call for a kape kape night so we can discuss details.

On another note, MM we tried a modified version of your liempo on bamboo over the weekend, using an oven ( it’s still too cold to BBQ outside ) and it was a big hit despite some shortcoming on the saltiness side. Friends and my teens love it and will certainly continue numerous attempts in the future to improve results. I love it even more because the preparation was pretty darn easy.

Am also planning to try your paella recipe since I recently received a paellera from a dear friend. I already got some of the ingredients and also picked up the saffron recently from our local Mediterranean goodies specialty store. Just waiting for our weather to warm up a bit.

Anyway thanks again and more power to this blog.

I belong to the 95%. :) I found this site in 2005 when I was searching for recipes. Being here has always been a wonderful experience, I feel the spirit of friendship and sharing. Thanks to all of you! I always feel energized after reading MM’s posts plus your comments and ideas.

MM, I have learned a lot through your posts, not only about food and cooking, but also the knowledge and experience you’ve shared. Thank you so much, MM! May God continue to bless you and your family, and give you extra time and strength to post more topics. :)

Because of Market Manila, I became so inspired that I decided to continue our small restaurant project in Bulacan. I wish to open it as soon as I return from my U.S. and Canada trip.

By the way, MM, have you ever thought of having a shout out window on the side of the web page, where everyone can post short messages? Or maybe another button for a discussion forum with specific topics? It may encourage more interactions.

Thanks again and more power! God bless everyone.

Ms BettyQ: i wish im close to you guys,( im in toronto), so when you finally have that garage sale that you’re planning about, i’ll be one of the early birds for sure :) and not just for the garage sale you know, i wish we are neighbours so i could be your taste-tester/left-over eater, and i’ll take any hand me down kitchen gadget you may have as well :)
