Easy TuesDAY: A No Homecooked Dish Day!

It's a lazy Tuesday for me but not for these hardworking weaver ants. For sure they are looking for foods, or if not, they are already gathering some of them. There are a lot of them actually, but they are moving too fast for my low-end phone to capture them. I should really be inspired by these ants because right now, I am really too lazy to do anything. Aside from that, I want to eat foods, like, every two hours I want to eat this or that, mostly junk foods. The good thing is, I can stop myself from eating too much and just drink lots of water to stay hydrated. But there are times too that I indulge my cravings, sometimes....

And so, because I am too lazy today, I just decided to buy cooked dish in a restaurant near our house. I informed the oldies about it and they yes to it.

I bought one serving of squash and string beans with coconut milk and that pork dish we called Batchoy. We call this batchoy here in our area, not sure what what it's called in other city. The main ingredients of it are pork, liver, ginger, bell pepper and for the veggies we used potato. It's sour too because of the vinegar. And with all the ingredients, it taste really super good. I bought half servings of it for 50 pesos. And it can already fit to three people though with just a limited meat slices.

And seriously, this is Mommy D's specialty and we can only have it during special occassion like Christmas and New Year. Yum! Yum! We enjoyed it together with the veggies. And even the oldies really missed the Batchoy. (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

After having our lunch I hangout a bit in the garage together with our cats and then went downstairs to Mama. And i'm also in there so I checked her viand too. And it looks delicious, it was filled with tomatoes. The fish is a big Tulingan I think.

We also talk a bit, we talk about my lil brother. I learned that he promised to Mama that he'll send money to her but yeah, it's cancelled. ⊙⁠.⁠☉

I just didn't talk much about lil brother with Mama. I just want him to get over with it and I really hope he can find a solution with it. Ny attention was also on this thing, I don't know, I just feel like it is a good subject for my not so good photography. This thing is called Katol in here, it's the kind that you need to light up with the used of fire. And through It's smoke, all the mosquitoes will run away from you -in short, it is a mosquito-repelling incense. Do you have them in your country as well?

I also have those lazy days too. Batchoy looks so delicious, and yes, we use Katol here too, but it’s quite scarce now.

it's a different kind of batchoy,, here in western visayas, batchoy is pork stew with pancit/sotanghon noodles..
the "katol" photos look so interesting.. if they were a bit clearer plus a bit of vignette,, they would look so dramatic 😁..

Yes, yes, and there's even a cup noodles of it no? I don't know why the oldies call this batchoy though. I tried to look at this on google pero yong with noodles talaga lumalabas.

I actually Edited them a bit, to make it a bit darker. Uwu

Does the Katol work? We used to burn something, citronella I think. The best cure was gin and tonic. The quinine in the tonic kept you safe lol!
