I know that place where you bought Katuday flowers. It is a weekend market (Saturday and Sunday) that organize by AANI. They are similar to the Legaspi weekend market in Makati. When I was living in Signal Village, we always bought there. They have different kind of items that you cannot find on a typical wet market.

Jane, I shop at the FTI Taguig Saturday Market and near the plant section is a lady that sells Ilocano produce… tiny eggplants, shorter sitaw, tiny ampalayas, squash flowers, seaweed on occasion, fish bagoong, etc.

Could you share with us where your Ilocano suki sells her veggies? I have been desperately looking for Ilocano veggies whenever I go to the Philippines and I can’t find any. I would love to have some Ilocano veggies that I have been longing for for such a long time and I would be so grateful to find it. Thank you so much!

Hi MM,

What brand of ginisang bagoong do you use?

Instead of your foil grill, why not start with a hearty cioppino, similar ingredients, a tad more work, but superb for large groups of people. Then have some garlic bread on the side. And maybe an avocado, tomato and mozzarella salad as a side dish.

hi MM! I was looking for live christmas trees i can purchase for the holidays (consulting lord google of course) and found your site.. i never did get the tree but i can’t help coming back and checking to see what you have up your sleeve. btw, your post on winning the lotto caused me to stain my new white blouse with hot coffee.. yes, the coffee shot through my nose because of your antics. now, i don’t drink ANYTHING while visiting your site!

my husband loves grilled meats and i’ve been looking for a salad to serve for the holidays that doesn’t involve mayonnaise or your typical leafy greens. finding this recipe takes 1 item off my noche buena list. now for my new year’s menu, i am hoping you can help me come up with a vegetable/soup dish i can pair with steamed seafood. i’m planning on getting some prawns, clams, mussels, crabs and squid, dump them in a big deep aluminum tray then sprinkle some salt, pepper, snip some fresh parsley, lemon juice and zest, roasted garlic, a couple of cubes of butter plus some olive oil. cover the whole thing with foil and let it sit on the grill to cook. i need something i can whip up in less than an hour and easily feed 30. i need to have some fresh flavors at the table because i’m sure we’ll be stuck with tons of cured ham, saucy dishes and sweets for the holidays.

This is the type of salad I would like to eat with fried fish and to make it more exciting – kailangang “magkamay” to be more passionate about the eating experience. Too bad I don’t think I can replicate the salad here in Northern California.

Oh how I miss pako…it is ridiculously expensive here and I just don’t have the heart to spend that much when it can be found in my ancestral home in Pampanga for $0.
