Crockpot Time: A family favorite :)

Kalua Pig

Ingredients
Pork shoulder
Cabbage, chopped
Onions,chopped (optional)
Soy Sauce
Liquid Smoke


1. Rub the pork with liquid smoke & place in the crockpot. Put on high and cook for about 6 hours or until pork can be shredded easily.

2. After shredding the pork, place it in a big pan over medium-high heat, throw in cabbage and onions and also add a little bit of the pork juice from the crockpot and stirfry everything together.

3. While frying, sprinkle some soy sauce over everything to add some taste (however much you like, probably the more the better )

4. Place it back in crockpot to keep it warm & eat with hot white rice :)

My Little Artist

 Aundrea is almost two and I am still sort of having a hard time getting her to pronounce some words, but not much I can do, I don't wanna force her for I'm afraid she'll lose interest in trying to talk but she's progressing! I talk to her all the time and read to her as much as I can, but I've noticed her big interest in drawing and coloring. It's all she loves to do and it keeps her pretty occupied.

Pantry Raid!

 I'm so upset with the asian section here at the commissary, saddest asian section EVER. Ichiban noodles taste soo much better than the Top Ramen brand! We've got some curry cubes and a can of candy.

 Champorado and Arrozcaldo instant mixes my mom sent us but I don't really like to eat them cause homemade and fresh is the best! But champorado is basically chocolate rice soup, it is pretty good. Arrozcaldo is soup with chicken, rice, ginger, and garlic in it, reeeeally yummy comfort food especially on a cold day.

 A bunch of cereal and beans from WIC, that I never eat. Lol!

 More filipino stuff such as Crispy Fry for fried chicken, Mama Sita's sinigang mix, puto mix, also miso soup! yummmm

 Gotta have panko breadcrumbs and sake!

 Mongo beans and pancit bihon noodles!

Soy sauce is a must in our house!

Bulldog Rant

 Meet our dog, Stussy. He is an American Bulldog and is about 7 months old and weighs about 50-60 pounds. He's a great looking dog, but the things he does really frustrate me. Since summer came in, we've been making him stay outside during the day and bringing him inside at night. With winter creeping in, we've been letting him chill inside the house but just in the kitchen with a gate up, I don't allow him in the living room because its all CARPETED and the last thing I need is having to pay for new carpet (We're only renting out this house!)

A few days ago, I walked into the kitchen I found out that Stussy chewed on the wood near the window and the corner of the wall!
I'm still pretty pissed off about it, I don't know what the fuck to do about this but have my husband find a way to repair it. Our dining table is also sitting in the kitchen as well and I'm so worried that soon he'll start to chew on it. I have been forced to make the decision of moving all of my daughter's toys to her room and putting our dining table in the living room, at least during the winter time. -_-

God, please just have someone buy our dog................ARGH!!
