French Toast ala Mang Caloy

     Basically for merienda Pang loves bread and butter, and coffee of course. When he was still here hindi yata nawawalan ng bread and butter sa bahay. It's either he buys assorted flavored bread on a nearby bakery(makabayan was his favorite), or make fruit jam sandwiches if we have sliced bread at home, and sometimes even make french toast that i love so much. It's an easy to make bread recipe which i think everyone knows. It was from him that i learned how to make french toast when i was a kid, and now i'm delightfully making it for my li'l man. Thanks Pang! I really miss you and your french toast. ^_^

     I made a short recipe below on how to make french Toast ala Mang Caloy.

Ingredients:

6 Slices of Bread

2 Eggs

Butter

Milk

Salt and Pepper

Here's how you do it:

Beat the eggs and milk together. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Soak each slice of bread into the egg mixture.

Melt butter on a pan in low heat.

Put the slice of soaked bread into the pan and fry until it turns brown on both sides.

Plate and ready to serve,

     You can serve it as is, or you could top it with preserved jams like strawberry or pineapple jam as it will add more yumminess to the bread. Enjoy it while it's hot. ^_^ 

Miss You Mang Caloy

     It's been more than 5 years now since Pang(that is how we call our father) left, and even after all these years every time I think of him and the things that reminded me of him really makes me teary eyes. I miss Pang and all the things that he does when he was still here. With this I've experienced the truth about what everybody says, that you'll miss a person the most when he's gone. Haay, If only time travel exist, I would surely go back so I could spend more time with our Pang. But still I'm thankful knowing that Pang is on a better place now, healthy and happily enjoying life in heaven.  

     Well It's August already and a few days from now will be his birthday, and since i'm missing everything about Pang, I thought why not make August in my blog Mang Caloy's month. I could still post about other things, but August posts will be more about our Pang. I guess in this way I could look back and remember things that Pang used to love and do when he was still with us. So expect more of my stories and features about our beloved Mang Caloy. 

      

Fruits and Veggies ni Osh

     At na-challenged nga po ang creativity ko this morning kung meron man. At Osh's school, the preschool department celebrated Nutrition Month with an activity. It was supposed to be on the 29 of July but was moved today because of the bad weather last week. The kids were designated to do Clay Molding with of course a little help from their parents. With the theme "Eat Right with Color" we were tasked to mold healthy foods out of the different colored clay, and was given an hour to finish. Osh and I made miniature fruits and veggies out of the clay we brought. Super liit lang kasi small bars of clay lang ang dala namin. We've made carrots, pumpkin, sitaw, talong and the upo which ended up looking like chili pepper. Osh made one of the carrots and the pumpkin as well, si mama lang ang naglagay nung lines para magmukhang kalabasa. We've also made apples, orange, grapes, bananas, and mangoes. The mangoe was Osh's idea, he mold the first one and I did the other one so just to fill the tray. There's also this three eggs that we've made which osh and I liked making the most, super dali kasi gawin, hehe. 

     Osh and i finally came up with a nice miniature tray of fruits and veggies, and the eggs of course. hmmm, parang sarap kainin!  ^_^

A FATHER'S RULES FOR FINDING FULFILLMENT

     My sister and I were having a chat this afternoon, we were both feeling a bit low moral about something, not so serious though. While we were talking, she came across an article re-posted by her friend on Facebook. She started reading a few lines from it that co relates to the topic we were having, and just from those few lines somehow made us realize something at the very moment.

     Out of curiosity and interest to what more it says I searched it online and found out that it was an article entitled A father's message from beyond the grave posted i think two days ago at yahoo. I was touched by the story and decided to share it. Hope you'll find it relevant too as i have, and maybe follow these rules so that we too could live a happy and fulfilling lives while we still can. 

     And so this is the list of rules from a loving father and how he lived his life.
