Last weekend, I discovered a new variety of banana that we bought at Batangas on our way home from Punta Fuego. Nobody knows what type of banana it is, but it's a cross between latundan and saba. The skin of the banana has a smooth velvety feel and the flesh is so meaty and sweet. I loved it so much that I ate three bananas a day for two straight days, then I discovered that overeating that unknown type of banana led to indigestion. I've never felt that bloated and nauseous before; I even thought I was pregnant! Thanks to another discovery--- brown rice tea. Just a cup made me feel better right away. No need for alka seltzer anymore, which was long discontinued--- this we found out too in our search for a cure for indigestion.
I discovered a new twist to tinola. Add buco water and buco meat at the last few minutes of cooking for a fresh, sweet flavor. The Tinola magically becomes Binakol.
I discovered this week that Trixie cannot speak Tagalog. Well, she calls it "Pagalog." See what I mean? In an effort to verify this, I asked her last night, "Marunong ka bang magsalita ng Tagalog?" She answered, "Hindi." She continued, "I only know 'Hindi' and 'May ipis'." This one's priceless.
Trixie also has a new discovery this week. While watching Dora the Explorer, she looked at me and said, "Mama, Dora looks like me, right?"
