Yoji and the Foodies

Just a quick post. This porkchop was one of the bestsellers back when we had Bartsy’s (A joint venture with the Avenger and Mighty Thor).  I missed cooking it so on Valentine’s eve I cooked this pair of gorgeous porkchops for my friend as a pre-house warming gift (haha!). My friend loved it. I did too!

These porkchops will see the light of day once again as part of the Chefyoji.com menu. Yes, with buttered sweet corn on the side.

For those wondering, chefyoji.com delivers pasta and rice meals to offices in Makati and Alabang. More on this small operation on the next post

It is unthinkible for a Filipino household not to have cooked rice for lunch or dinner (breakfast is an exemption). However, I have noticed that we have been consuming more bread than rice in the past 6 months or so. There have been ocassions where our rice cooker would refuse to cook or just decide to blow up. During those times, we find solace in sliced breads from the bakery, or  a 2-day old Gardenia bread in the fridge.  We just never seem to run out of bread. This is a good thing, because I get hungry easily (and get full fast) so a slice of bread would be more than enough to calm the hunger pangs. The thing is, there is some disagreement on the type of bread to buy. I’d go for the foccacia and wheat bread and french bread. The point of having those fancy breads at home is to turn them into something else entirely in case we have visitors or we just want to eat something different. Suffice to say, not everyone shares my love for those breads so we need to have sliced bread, monay, pandesal, and other classic favorites. Now you see why we end up with so many types of bread each week.

The next thing that we are getting more of each week are these tiny bread sealers.

Only 6 on the photo, but that’s just for the week. I’ve thrown away some of them but I still have quite a number of them lying on the dining table. I’ve been thinking about what else they are good for after they have served their duty. I tried some possibilities, but the only thing that worked well is this…

The back of my old business cards are now used as “notepads” when I need to write down recipes and weird ideas. The bread sealer seems to hold them together pretty well. I will try to put a hole on top so they can be posted on the cork board.

Any other ideas?
