Sinangag (Fried Rice)















Everyone woke up late on Sunday. We went to Manasquan beach the day before, and all of us were exhausted. We all had a great time. Isa missed all her naps because she was busy playing with her cousins. Mahal, on the other hand, stayed in the shade of umbrellas and did not want to get wet. Why bother going to the beach? I did not want to go, initially, because I was tired from martial arts, but Mahal convinced me, nevertheless. I'm glad that I came. Mahal's parents and all fo her brothers and sisters and their families were all present, which I think was amazing. We used up three family vans going to the beach!


So Sunday morning, I thought of cooking sinangag. It's easy and quick to prepare. Actually, the family conversation went something like this:
Sound of Isa's Sesame Street DVD playing in the background.

Mahal: Are we going to eat breakfast, yet?

Me: Okay. What's there to eat?

Mahal: I don't know.

Me: Okay...

Isa busy watching Sesame Street.
