For a day like today (i.e. first day of the second semester of SEASSI... ::ahem ahem::), an overload of oatmeal may just be my panacea. This morning, I tried boiling my oats solely in milk (dahil, may butt-load na gatas ako), and they came out creamy but undercooked. I've been interested in trying Steep & Brew's oatmeal, because they have flavors and mix-ins like chai, chocolate chips, walnuts, and honey. For an oatmeal addict like myself, who could pass up something like that?
Apparently, you get a choice of two mix-ins and one sweetener. I had the chocolate chips (mini, at that!) and banana with their homemade (or would it be "cafemade"?) whipped cream. I'm totally going back for more because this fattie bowl (hah) was only $1.80. I'm not a big fan of how they microwave their oats, but it'll do considering a day like this.
Oatmeal OD to ensue..
For the end of our first semester here at SEASSI, we had a traditional Piyestang Pinoy. This not only meant a hearty go at the national anthem or colorful decorations, oh no, my friends. This meant food and lots of it.
Quite a few of us stayed up the night before toiling away in the kitchen to make platoon-sized entrees. We were all exhausted during the actual piyesta, but I think I'm willing to break a sweat for Pilipinong pagkain any day.
Puto!
Um, adobo, I think?
Flan! Agh, so good.
My fantasmic plate:
Duck, lechon baboy (roasted pork), flan, puto, chicken sinigang
It's Sunday night, and there is no doubt that my neighbor's know how to get down. Even though they can be pretty raucous, I laud them for their eclectic taste in music. Fischerspooner? "I Love College"? Good ol' West Coast!? Dayum.
One of the nicest things about SEASSI is meeting people, especially those who know how to cook! As a result, I've gotten to enjoy the yummies created by our resident chef, Thea, as well as those by other awesome SEASSI peoples.
Thea's adobo. Hell yeah.
Bryan's maduros. Teehee.
(lopsided?) Bryan's Creation: leftover papaya salad + Thea's adobo + Rice+ Eggs = actually tasty
Breakfast! Longganisa, tapa (although I think Bryan and I made imposter tapa), eggs, rice, and tomatoes.
The "Holy Crap, I'm Exhausted, We Need to Make Dinner while We Make Piesta Food" Dinner. Thai red curry + coconut milk + eggplant + tilapia + basil + bell peppers + anything else we had = a great sleepy meal.
The best kickball team out there.[Thanks, Thea!]
