been busy...

I've been painting and surfing these past few days. I've been lazy to stay in the kitchen so I didn't really cook something special.

But yesterday morning when I went outside the house, and a cool breeze hit my face, I felt really nice! And right away, I felt like eating something soupy and hot.
Something that we, Filipinos, like to eat when the weather's nice or if it's raining.
So I made a pot of arroz caldo that morning.

And you know how the rice expands later on? I had to add more and more water until the rice really expands. And finally, my big pot is full of this good smelling, deliciously seasoned arroz caldo. The chicken's so tender, almost falling off its bones. I was done cooking at around 8:15 am.

Then, I had to give a bowl to my neighbors because it's too much for me and my family. That arroz caldo in my pot didn't last too long. It was gone before lunch time.
