Cook Out


A sampling of the food you can enjoy in the outdoors. It doesn't mean that when you are up in the boondocks you have to eat something out of a tin can. Eating sardines or meatloaf is only good for emergencies. Unimaginative to say the least. When you just finished a long hike up the mountains you would always want to eat something that would nourish your famished body and sooth your soul. A warm soup to start while you cook and wait for the pasta to boil. Salad well prepared and packed can still be fresh for your first meal. Steam veggies for the vegans and inihaw na liempo (grilled pork loin) for the carnivores. I can hear the Mr saying "I dream of liempo".

This photo was taken in a cook out as part of the training for the newbies/applicants. There is salad, steamed okra, macaroni pasta with tomato sauce, a different kind of pancit, tokwa and baboy ala pares, huge servings of freshly cooked streamed rice and for dessert ginataang bilo bilo with banana and camote.

kainan na. tarakyatayo!
