its all about GREENS

since saturday was salmon day for me, it continued to be salmon day for easter sunday until monday morning, which is today! hahaha.. i felt like i had too much omega 3 in my system. hahaha! looking at the salmon would already make me say "eeewww"! hahaha... my landlady's mom, whom i call nanay, told me... "wag ka nang bumili ng salmon kahit alam kong mahal yan kasi grabe ang taba nya!"... hahaha...mind me, salmon is my all time favorite fish but i really had way tooo muuuuch of it over the weekend, as in, nakakaumay na, sobra! hahahaha... our dishes for salmon over the weekend to name a few were: salmon in coconut milk, grilled salmon, fried salmon and paksiw na salmon... as in walang katapusang salmon! hahaha.... so for today, monday, i had to go back to eating salad again.. good thing, a high school friend of mine, who is a chef in Australia, Rowel Montajes, emailed me another vinaigrette recipe, the chili vinaigrette. so heto na naman ako, may i experiment again! hahaha... this time, i'm making myself a chilli vinaigrette... by the way, i have work today though its a holiday. so, i went to the grocery to buy myself salad ingredients for today's lunch in the office, as well as the ingredients for the chili vinaigrette... i discovered and bought another type of lettuce, the rosa green. oh my, for me, its better than romaine lettuce... more leafy than romaine so its not that crunchy, and its more bland than romaine, which i totally love! i think its shelf life is shorter than romaine since its more of a leafy type (we'll see). i love romaine coz of its crunchiness and longer shelf life, in fairness... but then again, we have different taste. so, to each his own when it comes to which one is better. hehehe.. so, here's another green version that i've made. i call this the oriental salad. chos! hahaha...this time, i added two more ingredients (would u happen to know what are these two just by looking at the pic? lol ), plus the chili vinaigrette! i am so in love with this chili vinaigrette right now. its zesty, refreshing with a little spicy kick, as in! THANK YOU SO MUCH Rowel Montajes for this chili vinaigrette recipe! :)

my version of the oriental salad - my lunch for today! oh diba? :)

here's the thing, i tried buying the small pears (the pear that you see in the pic) and to my amazement, its more juicy and sweeter than the big ones, as in! naloka ako sa sarap nya, i cant believe that it would taste this good talaga! :) and it only costs Php 8.00, as in!!! isn't life sweet?! hahaha :) hay naku, i really recommend that you buy the small pears, now na! hahaha

P.S. - burnz, i know you'll be reading this and i must tell you, you should try my chili vinaigrette and the fabulous PEAR! hahaha!

tight hugs,
