I haven’t had a post for the last few weeks. I have been busy with real life, not that I didn’t cook at all. The scientist was still busy in the kitchen over the holidays. More important, some life-changing choices have to be made. First, there is the change in crop to study. From rice, I’ll be working on maize breeding. It is challenging, given the fact I have very little (mostly theoretical) knowledge about maize. Rice and maize maybe the world’s more important cereals but growing them is altogether different. At least I am working on one aspect I am confident of – breeding for disease resistance. So hopefully, here’s to the next disease-resistant maize hybrids! Next, I am moving to another place so expect a shift in cooking to mostly seafoods! I will cook as soon I get my new kitchen going.
So what have been cooking during my long absence from the web? Here are some samplers while I work on the next posts for the recipes.

My traditional Palitaw

Homemade bacon

Italian sausages

Tuna Salpicao
Pizza from scratch

Steamed mahi-mahi fillet

Tinolang bihod (tuna roe)
Here’s to another great year of cooking and food blogging!

You’ve been busy in the kitchen! Everything looks delicious!!
We had two weeks of holiday last December so I spent a lot of time in the kitchen. If there’s nothing to do, I always check what’s in the pantry then cook!
Wow! The food looks great. Hope we get to taste it. Kudos mommy! You’re a whiz in everything.
Happy new year! I see you have new challenges for the new year! Looking forward to more of your food posts.
