Llanto, Newsbreak | 10/05/2009 10:02 PM MANILA - Four declared presidential aspirants—all of them with no experience in local executive positions—will face some 100 mayors and governors Tuesday morning to state their positions on 5 issues considered most crucial by the sector. Senators Benigno Aquino III, Francis Escudero, Manuel Villar, and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro will basically be asked how they will further local autonomy in specific ways. Naga City Mayor Jessie Robredo, a former president of the League of Cities of the Philippines, said local officials should look for a president who will not only listen but will also be committed to their reform agenda. This president should believe that the central government cannot do everything and govern the country by its lonesome. He will treat us with dignity and respect that we deserve and will not attempt to put a price tag on our cooperation, Robredo said during the presentation on some of the proposed reforms on local governance. The aspirants will be grilled by the local executives for one hour each at the AIM Conference Center in Makati City, from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm The forum, called Face to Face: 100 Local Government Champions vs 4 Presidential Contenders will be aired live over the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC).

Pinoy Recipe - Inihaw na Liempo (Grilled Pork Belly)

Have you heard Anthony Bourdain said that we, Pinoys, have the best pig? Visit www.pinoy-recipes.com for more mouth watering Pinoy recipe. He meant that the Philippines has the best lechon in the world. Well guess what, I just heard something like that from Nunnie after I served him this really mouthwatering inihaw na liempo. He said that so far, the inihaw na liempo was the best grilled meat he has ever had. And that makes me really proud of myself because I made it. He also said that if we can, we should marinate and grill our meat just like this every time we want some grilled meat. Inihaw na liempo is a very popular food in the Philippines. You can see this being cooked and sold on every street of Manila, Cubao, Pasig, everywhere. It may not be healthy to eat this all the time, but sometimes, due to the distinctive taste of this inihaw na liempo (especially the ones with lots of fat) you just can't help it. I remember when I was still in Pasig, I would purposely standby near the grill when somebody is grilling some barbecue or any kind of street foods because I wanted to smell the smoke. I didn't mind smelling like grilled food because it's actually not bad. Inihaw na liempo taste really good but be careful not to eat this everyday. Especially the ones with lots of fat. It is not healthy. It's okay to indulge with this once in a while, but you've got to be careful. And not just for inihaw na liempo. I guess you should try to be careful with everything that you eat ...

Useful Barbecue Accessories For Grill Enthusiasts

Almost nothing even comes close to the fragrance of a steak or perhaps a stand of pork ribs sizzling over the barbeque grill. Although some people may think that spring is still too far off thinking about barbecuing, barbecue lovers are undoubtedly thinking of ways they can optimize their techniques prior to the season. Below are a few barbecue accessories that will definitely interest both starting as well as pro barbeque chefs.

Although many individuals have changed into the gas grill because of its efficiency and ease of lighting, almost all will confess that only charcoal can provide that classic grilled flavor. A very common solution to this challenge could be the charcoal basket. Manufactured from durable stainless steel, charcoal baskets are made to sit right on top of a fuel grill's burners. This permits the coals to heat rapidly and be ready for preparing food very quickly, offering the best of both grills: the convenience of the gas plus the excellent flavor of the charcoal.

For a tasty wood smoke taste, wood chips of numerous varieties, such as applewood, hickory, maple, or alder can be found for barbecuing or smoking food. Each distinct kind of wood imparts a distinctive flavor. Several gas grills include baskets or compartments that are made particularly for wooden chips, or a container for this specific purpose can be acquired separately.

The Rib-O-Lator is a superb new gadget that can easily change the inside of a barbeque grill straight into a rotisserie. Effortlessly set up inside of most medium to large grills, the main difference between Rib-O-Lator and other rotisserie accessories is it's 4 tray layout. This accommodates quite a few items that regular rotisseries can not handle, for example ribs. Food on these kinds of containers is grilled by indirect heat, which has several advantages. It has been proven to seal the juices inside of the meat, rendering it tender, moist plus more delicious than ever. The trays help to contain the juices from the meat, stopping harmful flare-ups and keeping the device cleaner. Moreover, it's trays manage space to cook lots of food simultaneously, and it requires way less guidance compared to conventional BBQ techniques.

Grilling baskets are uncomplicated yet innovative - a terrific way to grill foods like seafood and veggies without them falling through or sticking to the grating. These kinds of baskets are like small cages that keep food safely, and feature a handle to enable you to easily flip them. They are available in regular and non-stick versions plus numerous dimensions.

How to Cook Venison

Cooking venison is much easier than most people think. Just because it is a wild animal does not make it difficult to cook.

Venison is a very versatile meat than can be used for cooking breakfast, soups, dinner, sandwiches, and best of all.....preparing deer jerkey. There is one main key to remember when cooking venison. You must make sure that you remove all of the white membrane from the meat.

Leaving it on the meat will make the meat tough and leave a "wild" taste in the mouth. The backstrip, also known as the tenderloin, is the most tender piece of meat on the deer. I would recommend using that cut of meat with these recipes.

VENISON STEW:

1 1/2 pounds venison, cut into half inch cubes

3 Tablespoons flour

2 Tablespoons bacon grease

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup corn

1 cup green beans

1 cup carrots

1 cup onions, chopped

2 cups potatoes, cut into half inch cubes

2 large, 4 small bay leaves

2 quarts water

1. Season venison with salt and pepper. Coat with flour. Heat the bacon grease in a large soup pot. Add venison and brown.

2. Add vegetables and water to the pot. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for one to one and a half hours.

3. Serve with homemade biscuits.

VENISON GOULASH:

2 pounds venison

3 large onions, thinly sliced

3 Tablespoons hot paprika

2 Tablespoons oil

1 teaspoons salt

1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup red wine

2 pounds wide egg noodles

1. Cut venison into one inch cubes. Heat oil in large heavy soup pot. Add venison and brown.

2. Add onions, paprika, and salt. Cook, stirring often, until onions are soft. Add water and green bell pepper. Cover and cook on medium heat until meat and vegetables are fork tender. This should take about one and a half hours.

3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook egg noodles until tender.

4. Serve hot venison goulash over egg noodles.

You might be surprised at how good venison really is!

Roast Pork With Crackling

Ingredients:

1 loin of leg of pork

cooking salt

2lb (900g) potatoes

1 large can celery hearts

freshly chopped parsley

1 tbsp (15 ml) plain flour

¾ (450 ml) stock

Instructions

1. Set oven at 350°F (180°) or Mark 4.

2. Place the joint on a board and choose the sharpest knife you can find. The secret of good crackling is very thorough scoring. The rind of the pork should be scored at 1/4 inch (1 cm) intervals, the knife cutting deep into the soft fat underneath.

3. Once you have scored the joint, rub cooking salt into it. Then place on a baking tin with no additional fat and roast in the pre-set oven on the middle shelf. Cook for 25 minutes per lb. (450 g) and 25 minutes over.

4. Peel the potatoes and cut into even size pieces. Place them in a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Drain and dry thoroughly. Place them in the fat around the meat 45 minutes before the end of the roasting time. Turn them over half way through the cooking time.

5. About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time take joint out of the oven, baste thoroughly and raise the temperature to 450°F (230°C) or Mark 8.

6. Tip the celery into the pan and heat in its own juice. Dish the pork up on a warmed serving dish, surround with the roast potatoes and the celery and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

7. To make the gravy, tip off all but about 1 tbsp (15ml) of fat from the roasting tin. Add the flour and blend in well. Then tip in the stock and allow to bubble up well before serving in a sauce boat.

NOTE: Joints from the hind quarters of the pig give the best crackling.

A Guide to Cooking with Wine

Don't just sip it, eat it!

Want to enhance and improve the taste of your favorite dish? Think that adding wine to your recipe will make it more scrumptious and mouth watering? Well then, you're absolutely right!

Wines are widely used in the cooking world because they intensify taste and zest. They are also capable of releasing flavors from food that are not possible by regular means of cooking.

The main question you must have now is this: What type of wine goes with what type of food?

You have red wines, white wine, sparkly champagne, sherry etc. You have grape vine types like merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, zinfandel, syrah, and Riesling. With the wide variety of them available, picking a wine is pretty tricky. The secret here is to know what combinations are used by professionals.

1. Red Wine

There used to be a rule in cooking that "red wine goes with red meat, white wine with white meat". Although it's not really true anymore, most chefs still go with that.

- For red meat, young and full bodied red wines are recommended. Try going for Zinfandel Red or Merlot.

- For red sauces, robust, full bodied wines are best. Make pasta, pizza or other tomato-sauce based dishes with it.

- Using root veggies with beef stock? You might want to look for an earth red, full bodied wine. The color it imparts to the meat makes it all the more wonderful.

2. White Wine

Cream based sauces, butter and herbs. Yum. White wine is usually used with white meat and best for light colored dishes.

- If you fancy a zesty dish, add some sparkling champagne.

- For chicken, pork or veal, try cooking with white wine. Spice up your grilled chicken by mixing dry, white wine with butter as the sauce.

- Crisp, dry white wines are ideal for seafood soup and shellfish dishes. Bouillabaisse, anyone?

- Leftover sweet white wine in your fridge? Why make delicious, delectable desserts? Whip up some Bavarian cream.

3. Fortified wine

Fortified wines are what they are: fortified. Additional neutral alcohol is added to them. Then they are aged for a long time. Examples are sherry, port and vermouth.

- Sherry is great for poultry meat and vegetables soups.

- For sweet, fruity dishes or desserts, splash some port or vermouth. Your dry vermouth can also be a good substitute for white wine.

4. Cooking wine

Cooking wines are relatively less pricey wines that use salt as a preservative. They can be found in supermarkets and groceries. Most professional chefs disdain the use of cooking wines because the salt content is hard to work with. You may need to adjust your recipe to work with the saltiness.

5. Exotic wines

Cooking is an experiment. If you're feeling bold and daring, you could try cooking with exotic wines. Asian wines are popular choices for an all together different meal. There is the sake, bekseju and seol joong mae.

- Sake is a rice based wine from Japan. Although it's mainly a beverage, it is popular as an additive to many Japanese dishes.

- Beksuju is a Korean wine made from raw rice and herbs. It can be used in vegetable dishes to increase the 'herbal' feel. Seol Joong Mae, a fruit wine made from plum, can be used for desserts and fruity dishes.

I hope that clears up some of your confusion. With that said, here are some few reminders for the novice cook:

- Cook only with wine that you would drink. There is no sense in cooking something that you wouldn't want to taste.

- There are a lot of good, quality yet inexpensive wines out there. Don't get too carried away and buy something that's way off your budget.

- Don't cook using aluminum or cast iron cookware. Alcohol is reactive with these materials and could cause harm to your dish.

- After adding your wine, try to wait for 5-10 minutes before tasting it. Wine needs to simmer for a while before it can impart flavor to your food.

- Got some left over wine? Put them in your ice cube tray and freeze them. This makes them good for future use.

Get your favorite recipe, pick a wine and start cooking!

Five High Protein Portable Meals For Weight Loss Surgery Patients

Weight loss surgery patients are instructed to eat a high protein diet in order to lose weight and maintain weight loss following surgical intervention for the treatment and prevention of morbid obesity. That means after any surgical procedure to control our weight we are supposed to get most of our calories from protein.

A 2008 study of bariatric surgeons indicates they are suggesting anywhere from 60 grams of protein a day to as many as 105 grams of protein a day, depending upon the surgeon and the patient. At a minimum, that means we need about 20 grams per meal three times a day. Without falling back to protein bars, shakes or powders here are some quick meal suggestions that come in at 21 grams of protein and a volume of 1-cup or less food.

Remember, protein is a good source of amino acid and energy for your body. Not only that, it requires more energy to process protein than the other nutrients (fat or carbohydrate) so your metabolism goes into high-octane burn when you feed it protein. That why a high protein diet causes weight loss and sustains weight maintenance. When you eat protein the dietary carbohydrates and fat your body previously stored as body fat for "a rainy day" must be used for energy to sustain metabolic process. So enjoy those protein grams and put your body in high metabolic burn.

1. Tuna Salad: 3 Ounces foil-pack tuna mixed with 1 hard-cooked egg, 4 baby carrots. Mix tuna salad with chopped egg, serve with baby carrots (Vegetarians Avoid high calories - no need to dip). 180 calories, 21g protein, 9g fat, 4g sugars. Add berries or seasonal fruit as desired. Eat two bites of protein in every bite of low GI fresh fruit or vegetables.

According to Turkey Wrap: 2 ounces sliced deli turkey breast (low sodium) 1 oz Swiss cheese, 1 teaspoon mustard, lettuce, chopped tomatoes. Stack or roll ingredients served chilled. 180 calories, 21g protein, 9g fat, 7g sugars. Change this with any meat, and sausagescheese that you enjoy.

3. All American Patty Melt: 3 Ounces extra-lean beef patty, grilled with 1 ounce American cheese melted on top served with 1 teaspoon each ketchup & mustard and 1/4 cup fresh cucumber slices. Calories: 322; 23g Protein; 24g Fat (11 Saturated); 4g Carbohydrate.

4. Salsa Chicken Melt: In a microwave safe container heat 3 ounces cooked shredded chicken with 1 tablespoon of salsa for 90 seconds. Top with 1 tablespoon low-fat sour cream (optional) and 1 tablespoon diced avocado (optional) or ready-made guacamole. Enjoy warm. Calories: 125. 21g Protein; 4g Fat (1 saturated) 2g Carbohydrate. A great use of left-over chicken, turkey, pork or beef.

5. Meatballs to Go: Place three (1-ounce) frozen cooked meatballs in a microwave safe lunch container. Top with 1/3 cup ready-made pasta or spaghetti sauce (your choice - I like the screw-top jars for easy use and storage once opened); 1/4 cup cottage cheese and 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover container & secure carefully: I place in a zipper bag to prevent spill damage if taking as "brown bag" lunch. Allow to thaw in refrigerator until lunch time, then cook in microwave oven on medium-high until hot throughout, 2-3 minutes. Enjoy warm. Very filling without the "pasta-load". Calories: 325; 20g Protein; 14g Fat (6 Saturated); 8g Carbohydrate. (You can make several of these meals in advance and freeze taking the frozen meal on the day of use. Simply thaw at room temperature until lunch and cook as directed).

Norway at Walt Disney World is History, an Authentic Menu to Enjoy and Simply a Very Nice Visit

Welcome to Norway, some say the home of the real discoverer's of the Americas, by the Viking son of Eric the Red, Leif Ericsson, nearly a half a millennium before Christopher Columbus. The Norway at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida that is, found in the World Showcase at Epcot.

Just traverse the bridge between Future World and World Showcase, take a left and just up the road between Mexico and China and discover Norway. [And remember kids, when you're in geography class don't refer to a Disney map for your test answers.] Take a pathway into Den pittoreske landsbyen og bytorget i Norge. [Hopefully these translations are correct from Google Translate).

The culture, history and art the Scandinavian people is very evident here. There are much art and particularly sculpture not to mention the authentic architectural building design. There is music and food and gifts and a lot of trolls of all sizes and shapes. And although Norway is a more recent addition to the Epcot World Showcase in 1988, it hasn't changed much at all; but a beautiful location to spend time in.

So what do we have here to see and do? The most action is in the Maelstrom, a dark ride something akin to Pirates of the Caribbean in its design; but actually a little more exciting because you move backwards for a while and drop just a bit. But this is anything but a thrill ride so the entire family can participate. Some say that little kids might be a fearful of the trolls that populate the darker areas of this boat ride, but maybe not; and this is not one of these rides your teens will seek out, but many enjoy it.

Accompanying Maelstrom at its conclusion is the Spirit of Norway film. Both the ride and the film are under 10 minutes, so it is not a long experience. And if you've seen the film once since the attraction opened, it hasn't changed. You can bypass it, but why not watch it again; maybe you missed something.

The buffet here is very popular, so Advanced Dining Reservations are essential. The Akershus Royal Banquet Hall hot and cold (koldtbord) buffet is the home of Princess Storybook Dining. Akershus is a replicated castle building from Oslo, and has American food for breakfast and authentic Norwegian cuisine for lunch and dinner. The banquet hall is very decorative and intended to be regal since this is where the Disney Princesses will make their rounds from table to table for autographs, pictures and hugs. Among the characters that may be found here are Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Mary Poppins and Ariel. Please make reservations in advance, even 180 days prior to your vacation, by calling (407) WDW-DINE.

You should download the menus from several Disney fan sites, to read about rotating lunch entrees such as Akershus Salmon Burger, Traditional Kjottkake (Ground Beef and Pork Dumplings served with Mashed Potatoes, seasonal Vegetables, and Lingonberry Sauce) and Grilled Venison Sausage Sandwich. Then rotating dinner items include Mustard-glazed Seared Salmon, Citrus-marinated Mahi Mahi plus many lunch items repeated.

The native wines are also very attractive, but for many it's the desserts. You can have Sweet and Savory Chocolate Mousse, Traditional Rice Cream topped with Strawberry Sauce, Flaky Puff Pastry filled with Mascarpone Mousse topped with fresh Berries; or take a walk over to the Norway bakery, Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe. Children's menu choices include pizza, pasta, hot dogs and grilled chicken. There is a mix of family style, buffet but also a la cart items.

Then there is the Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe, a wonderful bakery for fresh baked native pastries. And for souvenir shopping, there is The Puffin's Roost with Norwegian books, fragrances, candy, hand-knit woolens, trolls, glass, porcelain, pewter, toys and more.

The Stave Church is with the Norway pavilion, with statues, paintings and artifacts is styled after Gol Church of Hallingdal, built around 1250 A.D. Yes, you can go in. But some people stand outside just looking at this wonderful structure, and then move on instead of going in. Here you will find the "Vikings: Conquerors of the Seas," a collection of authentic Norse weapons and artifacts.

Nyt opplevelsen av et besøk til Norge (check that Google translate).

Okonomiyaki in Odaiba (pt.1/3)

Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) is a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning "what you like" or "what you want", and yaki meaning "grilled" or "cooked". In our case we had stuff like pork, shrimp, octopus, scallops, and lots and lots of cabbage. Mix it together with a flour batter and eggs, then toss it onto a teppan.

El Pollo Loco is a large restaurant chain that specializes in mouth-watering flame-grilled chicken. If you have never had the opportunity to try the delectable chicken of El Pollo Loco, give it a shot while you're in the Las Vegas area. There are 12 locations around town, each with a plentiful salsa bar to help you dress up your meal. Chicken is the king of this place, with the inside being juicy while the outside is crispy and golden-colored, some pieces are even slightly blackened. The meals are Mexican-influenced and there are many fresh, healthy choices on this menu. The prices are in the $5-$7 range.

Villa Pizza serves up the most authentic New York thin-crust pizza in the Las Vegas valley. I recommend the Sahara/Valley View location as being a real treasure. The crust, sauce and piping-hot cheese that drips off the slice are lip-smacking good. There are a couple of lunch specials that cost about $5. You can buy a slice or a whole pie, or try their salads or pastas. For dessert, they have a great fried dough treat covered in powdered sugar (zeppoli)and served fresh in a paper bag.

The Feast Gourmet Buffet at Boulder Station was remodeled in 2009 and it offers a wide variety of excellent food in a comfortable and attractive setting. You can find a 2 for 1 coupon for this buffet daily in the Las Vegas Review Journal. Sign up for their players card (called "Boarding Pass" at Station Casinos) for discounts on already low buffet prices. If you are gambling in any casino, it is a good idea to sign up for a players card as it tracks your money spent and offers you rewards/comps (often on dining) based on this information.

There is a lot of potential in Las Vegas to eat a variety of tasty food on a dime. As a former 11-year resident of Las Vegas, these are the places that I grew to love and I now look forward to visiting when I am in town. If you are in Las Vegas and looking for some great local flavor, any one of these fine budget eating options will please your taste buds and not leave you broke.

Information on food can be collected from the Sumerian archaeological and written records on cuneiform tablets. These sources also stress the importance of barley and wheat cakes as a staple food along with corn and bean soup, onions, leeks, garlic and melon. In addition to the vegetables grown, Sumerian foods include fruit. These are apples, figs and grapes. Various herbs, honey, cheese, butter andvegetable oil were called in later Sumerian Records Food.

Charcoal Grilling Techniques

Grilling your food over a braai or barbecue seems quite easy and people have been doing it for centuries. There are certain techniques to grilling your food when you use charcoal, whether or not you use charcoal or gas there will always be a better or rather specific ways to cook a tasty meal. In the case of charcoal you need to know that there are intricate ways of preparing and using your charcoal.

Believe it or not the way you stack your charcoal is important. It does take more time than just chucking your charcoal in the griller so you have to have patience if you want good food. Make sure you stack your charcoal around the perimeter of the griller. Place a tin foil pan in the middle of the charcoal so you don't have to worry about a greasy griller and this saves you time afterward for cleaning. After you have done this you are ready to light the fire using firelighters. The grill grate should then be placed in the middle of the arrangement or charcoal.

Another tip would be to add the smoky effect. The reason why most people braai with charcoal is because people love the taste of smoky meat. To get this effect you can add dry wood chips over your charcoal once the charcoal has turned gray after the flames have subsided. This technique is like adding salt to a stew, you have to start off small then add as you feel needed. You may want more smoke so you should add more chips. You should add the chips as you cook not before you have placed the meat on the grill.

The main technique you should remember when cooking with charcoal is that charcoal will burn and produce fire. Cooking over a fire is not the best thing; you should start cooking once the flames have subsided. The main reason why something burns is because it feeds on oxygen the less oxygen it has the less it'll create fire. Therefore you should place a lid on the griller once you have the food on the grill. You should lift the lid to turn the meat but try avoiding this as much as possible as the charcoal will then receive oxygen which will heat the meat up too quickly.

Charcoal can create a wonderful grill and your food will gain delicious flavor. Always remember that all people have different tastes and will therefore prefer different flavours. You should experiment as much as you like, by doing this you will have the best taste for best suited for you.
