Scary Pork blood stew (Dinuguan)

Helloooooooo! How's everything in here? its been a year and a half since my last post and I'm quite excited to be back. Well i'll try to have post at least one in a month or so from now on. and that is a promise. I just can't get enough time to write because of my busy schedule to my job and to my friends asking for help doing about their cooking, buying stuff for the pantry, sharing my recipes for their occasions particularly the last summer season ( Picnics and birthdays occasion mostly)  Anyway I'm back and I'm so excited

And YES i was so excited these past few days as i heard from a couple of friends here in Regina that there's a FILIPINO restaurant and lounge will be opening soon. oh that would be awesome.

And YES finally after a long wait, I'm gonna taste the authentic favorite food of mine and i hope they will put this on the menu- The Dinuguan, dinardaranan (Ilokanos), Bagesen(pangasenense), Chocolate stew as the Canadian would like to call it, Pork blood stew or what so ever you wanna call it. I know it look so scary and unappetizing when you hear what is all about and where it came from you will freak out. Pork blood stew or dinuguan is made from concoction of pork meat including Butt, shoulder, loin, intestines, bladder, Heart, belly and fresh Pork blood, gently simmered in vinegar, stock and some spices like ginger and shallots.
I've cooked this in my house and brought some of it to my Canadian friends to taste and to know how they gonna react. Here their verdict:

Thomas Yates, 19 years old from Calgary says:Meat was cooked perfectly, all of the spices complimented the natural meat flavors and nothing was overpowering, Amazing taste and texture

Wes escalleta, 27 years old from Whistler B.C says: Great texture and full of flavors, simple but perfectly balanced and interesting. But a freaky idea

Andrea Aube, 23 years old from Calgary says.  The texture is a quite grainy. a little salty and sour but it taste amazing. But after she finish a whole bowl she asked me what the dish made from--- oh shit gross. LOL
 Hahahahahaha. Whatever they've said, This is the best stew for me and i'm gonna wait to eat this again

Fuyu Persimmons

Honestly speaking, I don't have idea about this fruit. when this fruit caught my attention, thought this is nearly ripe tomato.The first thing landed on my mind is to make a good tomato sauce out of this fruit. At first i was hesitant to purchase this persimmons. but i might feel mad to myself if i don't get it. I was captivated by this fruit that really resembles Roma tomato. It has smooth and shinny skin and very soft flesh once it ripe. The flesh is so soft and taste not really sweet,just enough sweetness. Unlike other fruit, Persimmon has no strong smell or even bad aroma. I' m wonder if this can make into a salad and to a stew with red meat as well. Why not?  this is edible and could be my favorite exotic fruit from now on. So the next time you see this fruit in fresh section, do not misspell on this, This is persimmon and not tomato
