It was a windy, stormy and scary weekend,starting Friday with heavy downpours. Another bed weather day and another good reason to stay indoors. We did stay indoors for Sunday since Friday and Saturday there is work.
Cold weather like this inspires people to eat more, like we did. Our late breakfast yesterday was this:
Macaroni and cheese with buttered toast.
What’s for lunch? Very late lunch. We had lunch before we went to the 6pm mass at the University of the Philippines (UP) in Diliman.
We had our lunch at Rodic’s, a restaurant serving meals to the UP community since the 50s if I am not mistaken. This is called Tapsilog. Here in the Philippines, some restaurants serve meals like this and one has the option to choose the viand/topping. Tapsilog means TAP for tapa or beef steak (in this case,it was shredded, like corned beef), SI means sinangag or fried rice and LOG means itlog or egg. Other choice of toppings are bacon, milkfish, corned beef, longganisa ( Filipino version of sausage), tocino (sweetened pork slices), hotdog. Well, I could go on but I will stop.
Come see what I have discovered here on the way to the Sunday mass.
