Red Ribbon’s Creamy Carbonara

Carbonara is one of the absolute favorite dishes at home that I love to cook for my family. Whether we are celebrating a special occasion or we are just having something light for dinner, this is one dish that is on top of our list of favorites to have.

I have, in fact, been using the same recipe I got for years and I feel its time to do some modifications with the dish. I am not sure how the children and/or the hubby will react if I do so.

When I have tasted the new Red Ribbon‘s Creamy Carbonara though, I knew this is one dish that we should try as soon as the children get back from their vacation: this carbonara and the other newly improved meal being offered.

The creamy carbonara has, as a side dish, a slice of bread with herbs. The smell alone of this bread is reaaaally good.Yes, I smelled the bread before biting it 😀

The carbonara, on the other hand has chicken, mushrooms, bacon, and cheese. It is also topped with parsley.

I will try to do this creamy carbonara and I hope I will come close to the taste that they have developed. If not, we will just hie off to the nearest branch which is just a stone throw away from where we are, lol!.

I love the creamy goodness of the new Red Ribbon Creamy Carbonara! 🙂

Phase 2 Project: Segment 8.1 Connecting Mindanao Avenue to NLEX

Simula pa lang ng paggawa ng malaking kalye malapit sa amin.

Noong Lunes ay isinarado na ang daan na dinadaanan namin kaya iikot na kami sa matrapik na palengke. Pero sige lang, pagkatapos naman nito (kung matatapos agad) ay magiging mas maaliwalas ang aming pag-uwi. Wala naman sana problema kung hindi nagsasara ng gate yung katabing subdibisyon mula 10am  – 5pm at 10pm – 6am para hindi na kaya naipilitan kami umiikot ng malayo. Hmph.

Importante ang daan na ito kasi mismo si PGMA (S)cares ay dumalo sa groundbreaking ceremonies noong nakaraang buwan (kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko).

Pasensiya na po, malabo, umaandar kasi kami at may tint pa ang salamin.

Anyway… (pakibasa po hanggang bago magdulo, nandun ang climax)

Ang major road na ito ay mag-uugnay ng Mindanao Avenue sa NLEX or North Luzon Expressway. Heto ang isa pang link tungkol sa project.

Alam nyo ba kung magkano ang 2.8 kilometer na daang ito? 1.5 billion pesos lang naman.

Kung ito ay idi-divide sa 2.8 kilometers, pumapatak na 535 million++ pesoses for less than a kilometer ang presyo ng daan na yan. Sosyal di ba?

Twing! Twing! (Tunog ng cash register yan, lol!)

Tulay Para sa Kaunlaran

Meron kong tulay dito at dito, ang tulay na nagdadala sa akin palapit sa tahanan ng aking mga magulang. Parehong tulay it pero magkaiba ang perspective sa pagkakakuha at interpretasyon 🙂 I have two different perspectives and interpretations of the same bridge which brings me closer to home in the two links I have made.

Ang tulay sa ibaba ay isa sa mga bagong gawang tulay. Ito ay bago, malinis pa at may nakasulat na GMA SCARES, este, CARES pala  na hindi ko na isinama sa larawan. The bridge in the photo below is an almost newly-built bridge. This is new, its clean and has GMA SCARES, errr, CARES written on it.

Bakit nga may bagong tulay dito? Hindi pa naman mukhang sira ang dating tulay, sa katunayan, ang bagsik ng Pinatubo (nandun sa cluster ng mga bundok) at mga lindol ay nakayanan nito. Hindi kasi nahukay ang mga buhangin kaya ang tubig sa ilog ay nawala at nagmukhang disyerto mula sa buhanging galing sa lahar.

Imbes na hukayin, nagtayo na lang ng bagong tulay. Galing no?

Ano nga ang sabi ng mga pulitiko?

“Kapag ako ay iboboto ninyo ipagagawa ko ang mga kalsada. Kahit walang mga ilog, magpapatayo tayo ng mga tulay!”

Yan po ang tulay ng kaunlaran.

Do You Love Your Neighbors?

People are social beings who thrive with others. Even if we say that we do not need others in our lives, still we do.

Isn’t it that a saying goes: “No man is an island”?

Do you like your neighborhood? Do you like your neighbors?
