<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Leche Flan, for me, is one of the best desserts of all time. I can never get enough of it. It's the first thing I look for in a restaurant and buffet tables in parties or local town fiestas. It has been in dessert menus of most restaurants because it is relatively easy to whip up yet tastes delicious. I remember my grandmother making it and even my mom, they were rich, creamy and just straight up heavenly. They'd cook a whole big batch and the whole dining table and kitchen counter tops would be covered in llaneras of flans waiting to be plated or shared with the next door neighbors. In my case, baking has always been a challenge since I loathe math and measuring anything, rendering the art of baking flans beyond me.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Visiting a close cousin of mine a few months back introduced me to Kuriiing's Homemade Desserts' Leche Flan (and Coffee Jelly that tastes great too, but let's focus on the flans for now) that they had just ordered online. It was rich, creamy and tasted so good! It wasn't sickly sweet like other flans I have tasted, and there were lots of them, that you would need to wash it down with a couple of glasses of water or worse brush your teeth immediately after consuming. To top it all off, the flan wasn't really heavy, I could finish three full llaneras in one sitting and I'd still ask for seconds, but that's just me. Before leaving, I made sure I got the baker's online site, which is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KuriiingsHomemadeDesserts">Kuriiing's Homemade Desserts FB Page</a>. I was planning to order after a couple of days, but things happened, like our grandfather's death which made indulging in tasty desserts not that much of a priority. Then I began blogging, which really left little time to think about anything else.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2 weeks ago while scrolling down my Facebook news feeds, I came across one of Kuriiing's post about new flavored flans. I called my cousin about it and she told me that she hasn't tried them either, so we decided to order after a couple of days which I totally forgot about by the way! Until my cousin who just signed up for Instagram (for shopping purposes) called me up and told me to check my IG right away. When I logged in, I saw her post of 3 boxes of different flavored flans with the caption of "Pick Me Up" addressed to me. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was rather slow on the uptake, which kind of frustrated my cousin who went to the trouble of trying to surprise me with flans! Sorry Couz, my brain isn't functioning that well, blame it on lack of sleep! When I finally managed to fully grasp the fact that I had 3 flans waiting for me, just a couple of blocks away, I was so ecstatic I went crazy! I don't quite remember what exactly I blurted out, many thank you's and a lot more words got jumbled in, in rapid succession mind you, but I think she understood. After ending the phone call, I asked Mr. D to pick up the yummy goodies that I couldn't wait to sink my fork into.</span></span></div>

Well, I was one of them and still am, only now we make our own at home. Here's our healthier version of homemade ice cream in ice candy bags.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Note: You'll need a blender, a funnel and ice candy bags.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For the chocolate, just put 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder in the blender, around 6 tablespoons of Muscovado sugar, a couple of drops of Vanilla extract and just enough coconut milk that will give the mixture a smoothie consistency. Blend them all together. Make sure to taste it and adjust to your desired level of sweetness and intensity of vanilla or chocolate flavor. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When you're satisfied, use a funnel to pour the mixture in the ice candy bags. The same goes with the other flavor, just substitute the mangoes for the cocoa powder. When they're all in the bags, freeze them and that's it. In a couple of hours you'll have chocolate and mango fudge ice candies or as we call it "Fudgecicles."</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The whole time we were waiting for the 1st batch to harden, Miss Artsy kept asking if she could peek inside just to check if they're ready, like every 5 minutes! Lesson learned, don't let her know beforehand what we're doing, patience is not her virtue. Surprise her instead.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When at last it was time to eat them, we all tried the mangoes first. They were deliciously creamy and soft. It was our eldest's first time eating from an ice candy bag and needed an explaining on how to go about in doing that. The Little Hulk on the other hand just watched and perfectly copied what he saw we were doing right after his dad tore the end of his ice candy. He was a natural, or maybe he was just really hungry haha. The chocolate didn't disappoint us either, that flavor got devoured in record time and we were all very satisfied. You should definitely try it!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Heat up your pan to a medium high heat and add oil. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl together, just make sure they are well incorporated. When your pan is ready, pour the mixture and cook for around 10 minutes before turning the heat down low. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Use a rubber spatula and try to lift the omelet around the sides then shake your pan. If the omelet slides easily this means it's time to turn it over, if it's still sticking to the pan then just cook it some more. After flipping, leave it for another 3-5 minutes or until the it's as done as you prefer. I like mine a bit brown, but the kids want to keep the bright yellow color and I always give in.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Salsa has frequented our family's dinner table since I was able to hold a knife without seriously hurting myself or anyone. My mom would make it for us, whenever she was home for a vacation, with fresh ingredients bought from the local market, and we'd enjoy it with any fried or barbequed food plus a lot of white rice. I think she got the recipe from one of her foreign friends and had freshly squeezed orange juice as one of the key ingredients.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've always wanted to try Salsa and chips after watching an episode of Food 911 where Tyler Florence helped some roommates throw a small Mexican themed party at their apartment. He also made Guacamole just by adding fresh Avocados to his basic salsa, it was one of my favorite episodes. Anyway, since my mom was abroad most of the time, I had to take matters into my own hands and took on the role as the official Salsa maker of the family which was fun because I love knives and handling food. Over the years my mom's salsa recipe changed, mostly because my Dad couldn't get all of the ingredients and I had to make do with what I was given. I simplified it until it turned into what the Mexicans/Latins call "Pico De Gallo" which I found out after about more than a decade of making it, thanks to 30 Minute Meals by Rachel Ray.  </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Pico De Gallo by Mrs. D</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Freshly squeezed Calamansi Juice (1/2 kg Calamansi or Philippine Lemon)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Patis or Fish Sauce</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">5 Large Red Onions</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">10 Large Ripe Tomatoes</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">5 Green Chilis</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cilantro </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Salt</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Freshly Cracked Black Pepper</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After extracting the juice from all of the calamansi in a big mixing bowl, pour in the amount of fish sauce based on how sour or salty you want it to be. Personally, I do equal parts of calamansi to fish sauce, but that's just me. Add the pepper and mix, then finely mince the onions and add it to the bowl. Make sure the onions are covered in the calamansi-patis mix for them to pickle. Pickling the raw onions will remove some of the bitterness and sharpness from them and make them easier for even our kids to enjoy. You can use this technique for salads as well.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Next, finely mince the tomatoes and just dump them on top of the onions without mixing it to let the onions pickle some more. Make sure all of the ingredients are in uniform size when minced, that goes for the Green chilis and Cilantro as well. Mix all of them together, adjust with more salt or pepper if you want. Chill it first then serve as a side dish for meals or with chips while enjoying a movie at home with the family.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I don't know anybody named Glenda personally, I honestly haven't even heard of anyone famous who goes by that name. Wait, there's Glinda the Good Witch from the musical Wicked, but the spelling is wrong so that doesn't count. Anyway, who knew that in July 2014, every Filipino in Luzon and Visayas, including myself, would forever be marked by that very name. The now famous name that would be linked to harsh winds that uprooted huge trees, caused tall posts to break and fall, destroyed houses and took lives. Oh and let's not forget to mention the massive power outages in Meralco areas that some as of yet are still being restored. </span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In our particular area in Rizal, the howling winds on the Tuesday night Glenda entered PAR was our only warning before the power went out at 2 in the morning. Good thing Mr. D already bought 2 LED emergency lights and 2 small LED flash lights from Daiso, to help us get around in the dark. No more worrying about the dangers of candles and matches while there are kids running around the house, like causing a fire for instance. Those and the 2 old school fans we bought in the market really helped us survive the nights without electricity. It took a bit of elbow grease and teamwork on our part to get the Little Hulk and Little Miss Banshee to sleep, but me and Mr. D got the job done by taking turns fanning them. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These mini emergency lights were kept open for 2 nights in a row, they consume so little energy that they still don't need to get new batteries up to this day. They're the safe alternative to lighting up candles, I won't have to worry that my house will catch on fire if left overnight and unattended... </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">No electric fans or airconditioners, so we did it the old school way, at least the kids were kept cool. Mr. D and me on the other hand got some toned arms from all the hours of nonstop fanning.  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We were good, a bit handicapped without the convenience of electric fans at night but we were alright all in all. We had water, food, gas, a roof over our head and each other, unlike some. Our mobile phones and other gadgets' batteries (they weren't fully charged in the first place) died aftter 24 hours of still not having power, good thing we had a landline phone as back up in case of emergency. We didn't dare go out, it was safer to stay indoors with the kids since the wind wasn't getting any weaker from what we could see outside the windows. We also heard that the flood waters in the center of our subdivision surpassed the height of the average Filipino, in other words we were stranded as usual until the water subsides. So anyway, the power was restored on Thursday at around 10AM while the kids were still sleeping, giving me the freedom to take action and charge everything that needed charging.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I booted up the Kindle to immediately check Meralco's official Facebook page for news updates on power restoration and instead got a warning of a rotational brownout scheduled for the day. We just got it back and they're taking it away again was my last thought before I turned off the tablet and let it charge some more. I broke the news gently to Mr. D and Miss Artsy, but I guess there was just no softening the blow of another brownout to a 9 year old who was looking forward to finally paint because there was sufficient light in her room again. We had an hour to bask in front of electric fans until they died and the lights went out, which wasn't enough time for the fridge to cool down. We were forced to cook all of the fish, poultry and meat in the freezer before they stink and go bad. Fish & Veggie soup and Chicken & Pork Adobo was the easy way out and we took that route, under the circumstances who could blame us. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Electricity finally returned after 7 hours and lasted through the night, which gave us much needed rest from all the fanning we did. The next day some parts of Luzon experienced rotational brownouts again, which lasted for 4 hours in our area between noon and dinner time. After the incident it has now been part of my routine to check Meralco updates for scheduled power interruptions a couple of times a day since they started implementing that before the typhoon hit.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Typhoon Glenda may have left but the lessons we've learned will stay with us. What lessons you ask? Here's my list:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Always be prepared, have emergency lights, flashlights and batteries ready at all times</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Invest on Powerbanks for your gadgets</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Look into Solar Power</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Stock Up on essentials (food, drinking water and sanitation supplies)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Must Have Fans</span></span></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
