It's my Lolo Cente's birthday today and though he is no longer with us, we celebrated his birthday yesterday with a potluck lunch at home.
Lola Agre and Lolo Cente, late 1970's
Yesterday was also my sister-in-law Jean's birthday so it was a double celebration.

Tita Paro and Tito Felix in Houston "joined" us for lunch via Skype. We placed my laptop on the dining table so they could participate in our table talk! Cousin Ivy from the mesas of Pinon, Arizona also Skyped in. ::sigh:: How they missed our good old Filipino fare and wished they could have a plateful of our lunch.

hi janessa,
sige, take care and regards too.
hi vicky,
that's true. frozen fish is a far, far, far, so very far cry from the fresh fish that we have in Dumaguete. "Langsa kaayo" ang frozen fish. Fresh from the sea fish IS THE BEST, EVER!
for humba, actually you can also use other parts of the pig, like ribs, because it's nice to gnaw on the bony parts. i'm not very fond of pig's feet, too, because it's mostly skin and cartilage and bone, with very little meat. so when we make humba, i buy spareribs instead of pig's hocks, although the experts say pig's hocks are the best.
as for humba, I LOVE IT!! yumyumyum
thnks ....
