I had a whole butt shoulder in my fridge, and I dont know what to do about it. I was thinking of making ham, but it made me think that it might not come out good. Then out of nowhere came the idea of Patatim which I haven’t tried making one before. I checked online and found out that it’s a pig’s leg to make a patatim. Nevertheless, I look at the ingredients, and have most of them in my pantry.

Here is the ingredients that I copied from Cook n Share
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 kilo pata or 1/2 pork leg
- 1 bundle bokchoy leaves
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 star anise
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 900 ml pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 3 tbsp water
- whole pepper corns
- water enough to cover the meat
I don’t have bokchoy leaves, star anise, and pineapple juice. But I do have pineapple slices which added as a replacement of the juice. I followed the procedure Here, and cut the amount of brown sugar cause I don’t want it to taste so sweet. I tell ya, this recipe is very easy, and yummy even though I dont have all the ingredients. The kids and hubby really love it!

Isn’t it yummy looking? Believe me, it doesn’t just look yummy, but it is indeed yummy!
Clayton and I went to the Park a couple of days ago. And along the way was a McDonald food chain. I thought I would get a kiddie meal for the little one just in case if he gets hungry in the park. So I went to the drive thru and looked at their menu. And when I was looking at their Menu, all of a sudden I felt hungry. I usually don’t buy any McDonalds food for myself, because I am worried that it might upset my growling tummy. But that day, Premium Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich looked so inviting, so I decided to try it with their cold coffee. And of course, I grabbed a kiddie meal for Clayton, which was a chicken mcnuggets, his favorite.
Anyway, it was still a hit.
I like this Penne Rigate pasta much better, because it’s firmer, taste much better, and I love it’s texture in my mouth. It was delicious.
