Its been raining heavily for almost a week now. Memories of Ondoy last 2009 came rushing in my mind. The scenarios in TV reminded me of that traumatic experience. Good thing, we are no longer staying at San Mateo, Rizal. And I prayed for those deeply affected. I know how hard their situation is and the devastation they are going through.
Last Wednesday, the government had announced class suspension to all levels. Luckily, we were one of the areas unaffected by the great monsoon. But since all the highways surrounding our area were not passable due to high flood, my husband and siblings were not able to go to office either. We all opted to stay home to keep safe.
And since we're all at home in the middle of a cold weather, my sister and I decided to cook arrozcaldo and deep fried tofu. Its the perfect meal for the rainy season since most of us in the family are now experiencing colds and flu.
We put five cups of rice and the chicken breasts in a big cooking pot. We are a family with nine members, majority of big men, and it all fed us from lunch until dinner. Just five cups of rice and it was enough to feed us all for the whole day. It reminded us of Lugaw All You Can in PUP. =D I was amazed of how much you can make with five cups for a rice porridge. Maybe that is why there is that saying, "tubong lugaw".
The tofu, the perfect partner for arrozcaldo, is a box office as well! The sauce taste so good that you would want to drink it up instead of pouring over the fried tofu. The sour, sweet and salty blend is just perfect. The burp even smells like the sauce! LOL! Indeed, its a Combolicious!
And we pray for those who were deeply affected by the disaster. I pray for their families, to be always intact, to be the tower of strength for each other. I hope that no matter what happens, they keep their faith in their hearts. This is a chance for us to be stronger, and a chance to be generous and Good Samaritans.
God bless us all!
Angel
