Facing Typhoon "Uwan" with a Strong Heart and Full Stomach and with the Cheers from a Not Too Salty Dried Sapsap

And here comes the rain... We left home with just a light drizzle but when we reached our destination, the rain become too intense. It is a good thing that we are using a umbrella individually. To be honest, I want to bring just one umbrella, that one yellow umbrella with Umali's name on it, but then Mama strongly suggested to bring my own umbrella. Good thing I listened to her. (⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^⁠)⁠ﾉ

In the latest bulletin from PAG-ASA, Typhoon Uwan is now a super typhoon. Our province is already under signal #2 and this may change too into signal #3. Oh Heaven, please don't let it happen po (╥﹏╥). Keep safe my fellow Filipinos /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ.

I have a cravings today, vegetables soup with squeezed calamansi in it and a dried fish. And so, I bought it. But then I forgot the Calamansi ಠ﹏ಠ. But what I got today in the market are the healthy kinds if veggies, I have here sweet potato leaves, string beans and okra. They're the common ingredients for vegetables soup. We usually used fresh fish in it but this time I only want the vegetables. We'll need a healthy meal especially there's a typhoon, we need to have a stronger body and mind today -ahh, of course not just today but everyday. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

So here's the veggies, I soaked them in water with salt right after arriving home. And i'll be using rice water in cooking this instead of just water.

There it is, i just used garlic, onion, salt and seasonings in it then the rice water. By the way I put the string beans first before adding okra and sweet potato leaves. I want the string beans cooked and soft.

In less than 20 minutes our mixed vegetable soup is finally ready, Hot, healthy and delicious - ready to be served anytime once the rice's ready (✿^‿^)

For the dried fish, I have here the sapsap. We called this tiny fish Sapsap. The fresh sapsap is actually really good too, sad they are not available but it is also good as as dried fish. This is actually one of the family's favorite dried fish

Cooking this dried fish is easier too because they are small. And we got lucky coz it is not that salty compare to other dried fish. And this one's cheaper too.

And here's a happy meal for lunch today <(￣︶￣)↗. Simple but will really make you ask for more extra rice. ♪┌|∵|┘♪

3 p.m, it's already cold but fortunately the rain is not that strong though the wind is kinda strong. And coz it's cold I am craving for something warm and I suddenly thought about hot pandesal. That's really perfect for this kind of weather, then pair it with any hot drink.

Look how perfect the pandesal was baked. Just like how I want it, a lil toasty and soft inside. The choco milk taste really good with it.

4 p.m, here's the current look of the small stream near our house. No change much, thanks GOD!

But if it didn't rain during day time, then we have to be alert and ready during night time but i'm still hoping that the rain won't be as intense, i'm wishing for it seriously. Please (ノ^_^)ノ
