Stir fry squash

Today here is what I cooked for lunch. After I slept at 5:00 am this morning and woke up 8:45 am (same morning of course hehe) we went to church and hear mass at 10:30 am. Came home and was hungry I prepare our lunch. I am craving for squash stir fry, sliced pork meat, and  fried fish.

Squash stir fry with cabbage

1. 1 small acorn squash
2. 2 cups of cabbage
3. onion chopped
4. 3 cloves garlic minced
5. 1/2 lb pork slice
6.  oil
7. pinch of salt 

Put oil in the pan heat it. Put the cut pork let it brown. When it is brown put the onions and when it is translucent mix the garlic. Then put the squash put a 1/2 cup water cover it. If it gets dry and the squash is not yet tender add a little water. Cover till tender. Then mix the cabbage cover it again till tender. When the vegetables are tender season it with salt. Then it is done.

In the Philippines we call this fish "bilong-bilong". Here in the US in the Oriental store they label this fish moon fish. Anyway, I fried it today and what makes me laugh so hard is that hubby who is eating with me is watching me closely. Then he saw me ate the eyes, and he just close his eyes hahahahaha. I knew Americans aren't used to this sightings lol but in the Philippines we like to eat the eyes first, then the fish cheek where meat is fat, lol!! With my viand today I prepare soy sauce and vinegar for a dip for my fish. End up tummy's full!!

Butter squash

I already harvested my butter squash, pumpkins, tomatoes, eggplants and bell peppers from my garden. It started to cool down and I am kind of afraid if all of a sudden we have frost. What I did with my bell peppers is freeze them. And my butter squash I keep it in the basement since it is cooler there. Well last Monday hubby was kind of craving for a bake butter squash with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter on it. Me as a Filipina is new to this kind of recipe lol! Because what I do with my squash is to  cook it with pork, okra, eggplant and shrimp paste to make a dish called pinakbet. Anyway, what happened is that I do like it. I love the smell of of it and it smells like "biko" a dessert that is very common in the Philippines. Right now I am thinking of buying more and stock it in a bushel for Fall and Winter consumption. Try it!
