Boodle Fight @ home

     For somebody whose been working in some other country far from ours, being away means missing a lot of things about home, i think almost everything about home. It starts with not being with your family for some time, and with friends too, one usually suffer from homesickness, and of course what more could someone be missing about home...food, good pinoy food. 



     My hubby arrived two days ago, he's on a few days vacation from a year of work abroad. From where he came Pork is absolutely not in their daily menu, which makes him even more tulo laway with the thought of eating pork meat for over a year now. The following day we decided to prepare what he misses the most, food. It was lunch time, and to make it a little different from the usual, we thought it would be nice to have a boodle fight for the whole family. Everything was prepared and placed on  a table with a size good enough for all of us. Banana leaves were placed on top of the table. We have prepared Nilagang Talong at Okra, Kamatis, Bagoong, Inihaw na Bangus, Adobong Manok at Baboy and of course rice to complete the menu. After everything was put in place, everyone begin to dig out on the food. Even my little kiddo and his cousins Angel, Buboy, and Alex excitedly squeezed into the crowd and dig out the food, and just like everybody else they ate with their bare hands.


     It was nothing fancy though, simple feast, ordinary food, and our family having a not the usual lunch outdoor(kasi sa labas ng house hehe!) of some sort. It was a treat for all of us, for the whole family. We've even made the little ones experienced whats it's like to be in a boodle fight and i believe they all enjoyed it, we all did.
