MOMI SHARES| Top Chef Jr.’s Chef Curtis and his Mac and Cheese

April 20, 2018 · 17 Comments

Just the other night, around 12:38 am, my Big Bunso approached me and said, “I am hungry.”

His two older brothers and father were at Baler for a vacation so we don’t have much cooked food at home. We only had a homemade cheeseburger for dinner and nothing was left for a possible midnight snack. My son checked our pantry and saw some sausages and microwave-ready Mac and Cheese. We cooked them and had one of our fun mother and son bonding moments.

Which reminds me. Chef Curtis Stone, head judge on LIFETIME’s sizzling new show Top Chef Jr., is dishing out recipes that both parents and kids can try together. Plus they are surely healthier with less processed food, very unlike the sausages and Mac and Cheese we had.

MOMI SHARES| The tradition of Lola Deling

What can better go with lechon, rellenong isda, fried fish, and humba than my favorite atchara? And I am most happy if in the company of friends who do not even touch the atchara on their plate. That means I can get theirs and often, they would willingly offer it to me. That’s how much they have known me to love atchara.

This post will not give you the secret recipe to a delish atchara, though. I honestly haven’t tried making one. I just buy atchara whenever I visit food expo and bazaars. Sometimes, my husband’s aunt from Pangasinan would make a big jar for me and send it to her nephew. But that happens only when husband visits Pangasinan to check on his piggery business.

What I would like to share with you are the ingredients I found in the best tasting atchara I have tried. There is no exaggeration here as I have tasted a hundred perhaps of atchara and though they may look the same, and to some even taste almost the same, this particular brand has such distinct taste.

Possibly because of tradition.
