Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Grilled Red Snapper- My Food Blog

My Own Recipe of Grilled Red Snapper garnished with sweet peppers, tomatoes and green onions. A sweet sour sauce, green or red sauce may be added.   

I was reading the Food Section of the New York Times the other day. An article that attracted my attention was titled Pescado-a-la-talla- Contramars- Red and Green Grilled Snapper. The article discuss that it is a Mexican Specialty, but it is also now very popular all over the world. What strikes me was the date of the article ( Nov 1, 2024), because I have been enjoying a similar recipe during the last 20 years.

May I reiterate that I  have been enjoying a similar recipe for the last 20 years. I have posted a similar recipe in my Food Blog about two years ago.  Indeed,  It is with great pleasure that I am reposting my own recipe of this dish as follows:  


In my previous postings Why I Write, I indicated that my articles covers several topics. But some of you may not know that I also have a Food Blog. 

For the last 63 years of my married life, I have never been in the kitchen. My deceased spouse  (Macrine) insisted that there will only be one cook in the kitchen. So I leave her alone when she was cooking.  My duty was to tidy up the Kitchen after she cooks.       

However, when Macrine died in 2020, I was forced to cook for myself, since I was getting tired ordering food on line ( Door Dash etc....). I was surprised to know that I enjoyed cooking very much.  My enjoyment was creating my own recipe and modifying old recipes to what I have in my pantry. My cooking adventures lasted for over a year. I stopped cooking when I moved to THD in June, 2023. 

Here's the website of MY Food BLOG:


Meanwhile, I have a cravings for lobster and the following picture I had for dinner before my move to THD had increased my cravings for lobster. 
The Main lobster was served with Guinisang( Sauteed) Ampalaya ( bitter melon) with shrimps and Johannesburg Riesling White Wine and steamed white rice.   It was served also with a pickled mango slice, a fresh tomato and a sweet green pepper. The sauteed bitter melon is from my own recipe. 

Lastly, Here's a list of the top ten most popular Filipino Dishes for your information.
