New (but still messy) Way of Peeling Ripe Mangoes

Somebody, I forget who, shared this tip on Facebook a few days ago.  I decided to try it today because I need mangoes for a cobbler I'm about to prepare.  As you can see from the video, I still need to master this new technique.

I suggest using this technique only if you'll use mango as an ingredient.  If you're going to eat mango as dessert, I still prefer criss-cross slicing the mango cheek or scooping out with a spoon.

Creamy Mango, Tinned Tuna & Clams Pasta Sauce

Third week of Lent and we are still sticking to our meatless Friday tradition.  A struggle for this meat-loving family.

Am really craving for fried fish with tomato/ preserved egg ensalada on the side.  Unfortunately, am too scared of frying things and it takes days for the fishy smell to dissipate in the house.  Still too cold to leave the windows open for long periods.

Did a desperate call for meatless dish suggestions near Lent last year and one of my foodie friends, +Bujit Guttierrez-Tesoro, shared this recipe which immediately became a family favourite. So good that we have it even if it's not the Lenten season.

The well-travelled Tesoro family who appreciate & prepare
really good food.

We worked & partied with Bujit & Jake in Shanghai when we were still childless couples.  The dishes Bujit brought during pot-luck get-togethers were always consumed immediately.  I was just starting then to develop my culinary skills.
