However, in the long run, eating take-aways will take its toil on the health. For me, I just cook some noodle or pancit and then made some eggs to go with it. You might want to consider buying some vegetables from the market and instead of stir fried, steam it instead? Sometimes I eat that way. It might not be really healthy but at least I could control what I put in my mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10745858.post-66878289761697355092008-07-25T12:23:00.000+08:002008-07-25T12:23:00.000+08:00Sounds like you'll be getting a double program out...Sounds like you'll be getting a double program out there claire, and cooking (or eating) solo would be one!<BR/><BR/>Manggy is the guy if your in for a cookbest, single serving or large servings.<BR/><BR/>Good luck sis!Bonedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316058152682270816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10745858.post-78632359684046613712008-07-25T10:43:00.000+08:002008-07-25T10:43:00.000+08:00i forgot to say that you had a great shot for this...i forgot to say that you had a great shot for this adobo.escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572021401129133203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10745858.post-42965307924672194602008-07-25T07:43:00.000+08:002008-07-25T07:43:00.000+08:00@ness: sun-dried tomatoes are the BEST! i first ha...@ness: sun-dried tomatoes are the BEST! i first had them eating this winner puttanesca sauce from a jar - I don't know where my mom bought them. they're great on italian salads with feta cheese and on pasta. :) sarap!dr_clairebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14019592712453965433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10745858.post-70557371950117049452008-07-24T12:26:00.000+08:002008-07-24T12:26:00.000+08:00i've never tried sun dried tomatoes. maybe it's li...i've never tried sun dried tomatoes. maybe it's like dried mangoes except that its' not sweet?<BR/><BR/>take care over there, clairebear!nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325917167727003033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10745858.post-29134283198151479142008-07-23T08:16:00.000+08:002008-07-23T08:16:00.000+08:00@dong: i so miss adobo. and rice!

I'll probably try cooking adobo on one of my days off and freeze it as it gets better over time, but i still haven't gotten around to how i will cook rice for one. fresh rice is the best rice. anything else (with the exception of singangag) is just blech.<BR/><BR/>@manggy: our cafeteria serves a lot of healthy stuff like salads and salad rolls, as well as the usual high fat high oil stuff. i try to wake up early enough to make sandwiches to take to work, though. i am currently so into sun-dried tomatoes, which i can buy at 100 to 200 grams at a time. i put them in sandwiches with philadelphia cheese and stick them in a sandwich maker. doesn't sound very good, but i like it. :P what can i say, i LOVE sun-dried!dr_clairebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14019592712453965433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10745858.post-37609797041153542008-07-23T01:04:00.000+08:002008-07-23T01:04:00.000+08:00Oh, shucks. Sorry to hear that Ma'am. I've been wo...Oh, shucks. Sorry to hear that Ma'am. I've been wondering about that too. What's the point of cooking well if you barely have any time to think?! I think you can get away with cooking a largish batch of food and freezing individual servings in freezer bags or containers-- should be fine for a month or two. But eating take-away constantly is not a good thing, definitely. The cooks in those kitchens are not trained on the assumption that you eat their food in moderation (twice a month). They saturate everything with oil and salt. But it is still a worthy guilty pleasure ;) Is the hospital cafeteria not good?Manggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977929776424593762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10745858.post-85298522126434051612008-07-23T00:18:00.000+08:002008-07-23T00:18:00.000+08:00we also had adobo today! hahaha... pinoy nga talag...we also had adobo today! hahaha... pinoy nga talaga.escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572021401129133203noreply@blogger.com
