My Current Comfort Food.

Aubrey, I crave for this after a long drive in traffic, which is every day. Ha ha Do get some from a nearby carenderia. We have lots of that in my area.

Just like me?

Yes. And arroz caldo. This is sticky rice with chicken, topped with boiled egg strips. Every eatery in all Philippine provinces has this. Once one emerges from a train or a bus or a plane, just ask where the Lugaw is. But now, Filipinos are very fond of noodles. The noodle soup is a ready to eat order in huge malls.

@eileenleyva This also looks divine the arroz caldo, thanks

@eileenleyva - they are pretty easy to make! You can search online for a couple of ways to make "Homemade Egg Noodles" - basically you just mix flour, eggs, and some milk or water until you get the consistency you want and roll them out with a rolling pin...then cut them in nice thick strips with a knife. Then you just cook them in soup or broth. So easy and yummy! It does take a bit of space and time to make them though, so a pasta machine would maybe mean I could make them more often...though I think it would probably just be something I wouldn't use that often and clutter up my small kitchen space!

@vera5d That is the most interesting culinary preparation I ever learned in a long, long while. I do feel moronic not knowing. I thought noodle-making entails a lot of grain grinding, etcetera, and needs a whole lot of work space, like a barnyard, to get it all done. Sigh. Okay, even if noodles can easily be purchased in the grocery store, I promise, one day, I will make some myself. Truth be told, I do like the old-fashioned life style, the do-it-your own thing, and the cooking seems to be the super activity of the day, Thank you for telling me. I appreciate the learning.

Homemade noodles. Well, that is very interesting indeed. If I could be creative and patient enough to engage in such artful and culinary activity, I would. But alas, I am a zero in that area. Now, you must be good at that, for considering buying that machine means you have a knack for it.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Believe it, my grandmama was the fourth wife. Her suitors were my grandpapa's sons. Ha ha. But she fell in love with the widowed old man. That is why I have an aunt and an uncle much younger than me. We can only make a sport out of our family story. Ha ha Yup, I know I will have a fun time concocting fideua. Lovely day to you.

@eileenleyva I don´t mind if they have claimed it just kidding. Yes I know about the Spanish rule at least a bit about it. Its quite cheap to make here though. Doing some noodles for tomorrow but not now tomorrow.

@eileenleyva Well I have seen those foods in a program somewhere but without knowing how they got to be there. So thank you for that lovely story about your Great Grandfather that is really interesting. Men can help bring babies into the world even if they are much older which we cannot do can we? You make Fideua and enjoy it I don´t own it either but I love to eat it when I can. Have a great evening ahead.

@kobesbuddy I asked my daughter about the Celiac Disease and she said it's not a dangerous condition. Just the same, always take care.

@kobesbuddy Oh my, that is scary. I am glad you were able to get your self checked in time. A little more than a decade ago, I suffered the same fate. I lost tremendous weight due to unchecked diabetes. In the beginning, I was feeling sexy because I could easily fit in my jeans and tight skirts. I was loving it, for people were commenting I look slim and good. Gradually, whenever I would pass by my mirror, I was noticing how thin my reflection was. I didn't like it. I was skeletal and scared of my self. One day, I just had no strength and my daughter summoned the ambulance. I was in that dreadful state, too. Please do take care of your self. Not every one gets second chances. Here's for good health and a wonderful new life.

@eileenleyva It's basically my own immune system, over reacting towards the presence of gluten in my digestive tract.

Yes. The stirred egg makes the soup yummier. Do you often cook?

@BabeSays Yup, I do. Motherhood made me a cook.My cook list include soupy viands such as chicken tinola, beef bulalo, pork sinigang, vegetable pinakbet, pancit bijon or pancit canton. These are the basic for the week. However, we have refrained from pork and beef for many years now. Our daily meals consist mostly of fish and vegetables and chicken. For noodles, I stop by the noodle house. They prepare better.

@eileenleyva Yes very often. Noodles are one of my favorite dishes. I have many ways of cooking it but my favourite is the soupy one. Do you cook on soupy noodles?

@eileenleyva

Noodles it is for me. too, for all seasons, most especially the cold ones. There, I reaffirmed our love for noodles. Thanks, simplyme. Take care.

Yes, that is true. Stirring the egg when the cooking is almost done adds perfect flavor to the soup.
