Kitchen Adventures: Tuna-Oatmeal Balls

Tuna-Oatmeal Balls
One time, I am going to cook Sweet and Sour Tuna Balls. On my preparation, I was surprised that I was run-out of flour. I immediately look for possible alternative and I resulted to oatmeal. This will be another kitchen adventure since this is the first time I will use oatmeal in making balls. Furthermore, this makes the meal healthier oatmeal is rich in fiber.

Ingredients:
½ cup Oatmeal
1 can Tuna (Flakes in Oil), drained and mashed
¼ cup spring onions
1 piece medium egg
Salt, pepper and seasoning for taste
Oil for frying

Procedure:
Mix all ingredients well except for oil. Get about tablespoon of the mixture and form them into balls. Depp-fry in hot cooking oil until golden brown (use low heat only). Place in paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve with sweet-chili sauce or make sweet and sour dish.

Radyo 5, 92.3FM

News station in FM Band?

Yes, Radyo5 92.3FM, is the first News and Comentary station in FM Band which started to air on November 08, 2010 under the management of TV5.

There different programs that can be listened to but I am only particular with some of them which really turned to be my favorite.

RELASYON 
(daily 12nn-2pm)
by Atty. Mel Sta. Maria and Ms. Luchi Cruz-Valdez

This program talks all about legal matters about realationships, sometimes other topics. There is a “word for the day” segment which defines and explains some legal terms. They have “Q and A” portion which answers questions by listeners thru email, phone calls or text messages regarding legal problems. What I really like most is the “Ito ang Kwento ng Buhay Ko” where they read letters which briefly describes some situations of the listeners that seek advice. Some parts of the letter were dubbed by voice actors and actresses. At the end, they will give advice legally. Also they have some contacts from an institution that will give psychological or emotional advice. What is really nice with this program is that it starts and ends with a simple prayer.

Healing Galing 
(Saturdays, 6-8am & Sundays 10am-12nn)
with Dr. Edinell Calvario (Nat Med) and Mr. Nestor Amistad-Tan

This deals with the natural healing of different diseases, from simple to complicated like cancer of any type, renal failure, leukemia and many more, naturally. At the start of the program, they will give their "Heaing Thought" which explains their quote for the day. One of their segment, “Healing Halaman”, features about the healing powers of some herbal plant. During Sundays, they have “Healing Wika” which gives way to the Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino to explain some aspects in our national language, Filipino. Also during this day, they invite some guests that are being healed naturally to give their testimonials on how they are treated. This program motivates me of having some herbal plants in our house like oregano, serpentina, tanglad, balbas pusa, and others.  I also teach some of my relatives in how to heal some of their illness based what I hear from the said program. Furthermore, I am planning to take a seminar and practice naturopathy (from chemist and naturopathic practitioner, hehehe) and become one of their retailers of the products they are promoting. There are already many patients that have been cured and healed thru natural ways.

Cristy Ferminute 
(daily 4-5:30pm)
by Nanay Cristy Fermin and Mr. Richard Pinlac
with Arniel Serrato and Elmer Reyes

When it comes to entertainment this is my favorite. They talked about some of the current issues in the world of showbiz. They give their personal opinion on some topics whether negative or positive, whether they agree or not, whether where side to take. Sometimes, they seemed to be biased with the celebreties but I respect this because it is their own opinion. What I like and make me smile or laugh about this program is their “Blind Item”. Nanay Cristy will give the blind item and will be translated by Richard in English (LOL). What is good with this program, they give some new artists to promote their talents and shows. 

Whenever I was driving, I put the radio in this frequency to listen to my favorite programs. I can be also updated with the current news thru my cellphone's FM Radio.

Kitchen Adventures: Confused - Gising-gising or Bicol Express


With the cold weather, it is nice to have spicy and hot foods to keep the heat up. Here's a suggestion. I really don't know the name of this dish since mommy saw this at the net as "Gising-gising" while carinderia near our office referred to this as "Bicol Express". What ever you call this one, it is good for this kind of weather. I cooked this last saturday night.

Ingredients:
1/4 kilo Bagiuo beans, sliced to about 2cm thick
1/4 kilo pork, sliced into bite-size
10 pcs. Siling pangsigang, sliced like the beans
1 1/2 cup coconut milk
1 pc onion, chopped
1 tbsp. garlic, minced
2 tbsp. shrimp paste (bagoong alamang)

How to cook:
Saute garlic, onion. Add pork and continue sauteing until the pork turn golden brown. Add shrimp paste until it was already cooked. Add the beans and sili. When the veggies are about half-cooked, add coconut milk and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Is that easy?
