Ruby Tuesday: Baby Back Ribs

I had a giftcard from Ruby Tuesday worth $25 and have been keeping it since last year. My husband has kept on procrastinating our lunch date at Ruby Tuesday and most of time, we end up detouring to another restaurant. Last Friday, we went to Florida Mall, and finally had our late lunch at Ruby Tuesday.I ordered Classic Barbecue Baby-Back Ribs which is a half-rack slow-cooked for hours then covered with tangy barbecue sauce. This is my first time to taste a delicious, so tender and well-done baby-back ribs. I enjoyed this meal a lot together with the Onion Rings and fries. I highly recommend Ruby Tuesday, particulary the outlet in Florida Mall. I know this is not a good shot. I wanted to take the sign of Florida Mall but, we were walking away towards our car. Ruby Tuesday Restaurant is near by the entrance and next to Sak's Fifth Avenue Shopping area. This is my entry fro this week's YUMMY SUNDAY!

Yummy Clams

When we were in Mississippi, hubby and I will always dine out in the Satisfaction Buffet at Hard Rock Casino and Hotel every Wednesdays and Fridays. My first food was always the steamed clams at the Asian Area. It was my appetizer but, I can finished 2 bowls usually and no more space for the main course :-). During my younger days, we lived nearby the riverbanks. I had a wonderful time harvesting clams with my neighbors. It surely can save a week's meal. My mother created few recipes out of clams such as steamed, tortilla, omelet, soup and more. Good old days were fun and reminiscing those moments certainly bring back happy thoughts. Ang Kinason, paborito nako nga pagkaon sa bata pako. Mangaligo mi sa suba, uban sa akong mga amigo ug amiga, magdala dayon mi planggana. Kurawon namo ang balas sa ilalom pina agi sa amoang tiil, hangtod mang gawas ang kinason. Amo dayon suroyon sa hinimo nga net, paskang biboha labi na kung dagko amo makuha. Ayaw mo katingala ngano itum ko. Nagdako ko sa lugar sa dakong suba sa Cagayan de Oro, KUK.

I snagged this picture from the Website of Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi. This is the exact ambiance in Satisfaction Buffet. If you happen to pass by Mississippi, get on Highway 90 and have a quick stop to relax at the Hard Rock Biloxi.

Dinner at Rusty's Seafood

I snagged this photo from the Website of Rusty's Seafood and Oyster's Bar because I can't find the picture that I took from this place. This is our favorite hang out restaurant in Port Canaveral Florida for two reasons: delicious FOOD and good spot to watch the cruise ship off to it's destination.

We invited one of our closest friend with us and we had our sumptuous dinner in this place. Rusty's always have great crowd mostly hanging out for food who also enjoy the live music at the waterfront deck. Hubby and I loves to sit by the window facing the waterfront just to watch the cruise ship. Hubby ordered his favorite raw oysters from Rusty's famous Buried Treasures menu. The picture below is not the actual oysters from Rusty's. Their serving is way better looking and nicely served at the top of cold ice to preserved it's freshness.

I ordered "arrr famous encrusted mahi-mahi" served with coleslaw and fries. Because it was so delicious, I devour the food without taking a snap shot of it :-) There you go hahaha. Anyway, if you happen to visit Port Canaveral for a cruising trip to Bahamas or Caribbean, take your time to wander in this area. You will love the restaurants in this place but, do visit Rusty's first. Happy Sunday everyone!

Grilled Chicken and Shrimp Scampi

Almost everyday, hubby and I go out for lunch or dinner. We love Italian, Chinese and Seafood Restaurants, RED LOBSTER is one of the many places that we love to visit to savor and enjoy the good food. Isn't it delicious by just looking at this food? I ordered shrimp scampi and grilled chicken with rice pilaf. Did you know that their new England clam chowder soup is truly delicious? I am drooling of this yumminess now!

This is my entry for Bogie's Yummy Sunday Meme. Visit her blog and

join us in sharing the food that delights our senses :-). Happy Sunday everyone!

Stir Fried Liver

I am a terrible cook, hehehe! In fact, out of my desperation and food cravings, I forced myself to make one for myself. Luckily, hubby loves what I served for our meals. That's all that matters. Usually, I watch Food Network and get an inspiration from what they prepare on the show. Here is what I made this week. Chow to my yummy Sunday entry this week.

2 pcs thin sliced liver, bite size cut 4 tbsp soy sauce ½ tbsp salt garlic 1 knorr cube/powdered 1 0nion medium size 2 tbsp ground black pepper 2 medium sized bell pepper (1 red and 1 green)

½ cup cooking oil Mix the liver with the black pepper, salt, and soy sauce then, let this stand for few minutes. Fry the garlic, onion, bell pepper (red and green) and let this fry for 3 minutes, add the marinated liver and stir fry until mixture dries out but, add water as needed and cook until the liver becomes tender and the sauce becomes creamy. Serve hot.

If you need a good recipe, check out panlasangpinoy.com and I am sure you will be inspired to learn how to cook.

Fried Sliced-Banana

Living abroad in a state where Filipino Restaurants and Filipino stores are scarce would make you go crazy. I know it's a lil bit exaggerated but, it feels like that especially when you are craving for simple food treats such as bananaque or camote que.

I tried to be creative just to get the taste and the right stuff to make it like one. This is my version of sliced-banana fried in olive oil. I used plantain, it looks like the sweet green banana that we have in the Philippines but, the taste is like the "saba". No brown sugar this time but, used melted dark chocolate as a dip. It taste delicious (for me), it might not work for you LOL. My experiment actually did justice to all my cravings. Happy Sunday everyone.

This will be my FIRST entry for Yummy Sunday and I hope you will find it Yummy.

Homemade Meals

Lately, hubby and I enjoyed staying at home and preparing home made meals. This is something new for us because all the time, we go out for lunch and dinners. We just can't stay home. We are always on the go and on the road for either short travel or having a vacation.(Mussels in garlic butter) While we were in Mississippi, my father in-law loves to treat us to a fine dining. We would do gardening a lil bit and then, head out for meal escapades. Hubby and I were tired of that activity therefore, we shifted to what is normal. This way, we realized that we save more and we enjoyed the food that we cook at home.

Toaster Strudel

I was watching movies the whole afternoon using my Netflix and my Wii Console. I am having a movie marathon about Mayan Prediction for 2012. Do you believe it? I watch the different versions of 2012 to better understand what is it all about. Do I believe it? NOPE! The world will end but, only God knows when will it happen. Right now, I am so hungry and I am having my strudel snacks. A 5 year-old girl introduced this snacks and I do agree, this is truly delicious.
If you want something to fill you up lightly, this pastry can save your growling stomach.

Take a bite! This comes with many varieties. Check it out in your food market.

Red Pan Sets

I love neutral colors but when it comes to kitchen wares, I am attracted to red pans and red kitchen accessories such as canisters and kitchen towels. My husband noticed my fascination on red products when we were in the mall and checking on a new oven. There is something about red that tantalized my interest. The picture below is an example of the kind of pans I would usually choose. Of course, I will consider the material composition of an item. On this particular pan set, it is casted with aluminum, nonstick coated, thermo-bottom with shockproof stainless-steel-edge and handle, dishwasher safe and an oven-resistant product.That is the reason why I love this item in this particular Website. How about you? If you don't like red, this company have so many products to choose from. Check it out today and see it for yourself. If you order over £40, you will have a FREE delivery which is a good saving right from your pocket. Check out the Website now, take a peek and place your order.

Popeyes

Popeye's is one of my most favorite food chains here in the US. I fell in love with their bonafide chicken because there is nothing that taste better than Louisiana taste. I am a bonafide :-) ! Sometimes, I crave for Popeye's Bonafide Chicken Meal and they served it fresh! That's the good thing right? It is not a frozen meal. I usually ordered for take out because I love to eat the spicy bonafide chicken together with my Jasmine rice. Delicious!

My hubby loves the red beans and rice as a side order and mine, I just love french fries. The taste of the fries and chicken in Popeye's is truly delicious and mouth-watering. It is because of the Louisiana spices in it which I so love about. How about you? What's your favorite Popeye's meal?
