proud of you, mom!

My mom was mentioned in an article by Reggie Aspiras in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Egg flan

For the debut, Representative Lorna Silverio brought egg flans she ordered from Eya Cabanos all the way from Ilocos Norte. They are real eggs drained off their content, filled with flan mixture and steamed. A novelty!

Cabanos also makes saluyot pancit canton noodles and the famous Ilocos garlic longganisa.

She sends them fresh from San Nicolas as you order (tel. 0918-5299085). The eggs make perfect Christmas tokens.

If there's even any doubt about my mom's kitchen prowess one needs only one look at any of her four children to quell it. We are all trying to lose weight! I've been living alone in Manila for the last five years, away from my mother's glorious cooking but it takes me months to recover from the devastation on my weight loss regimen caused by holidays and birthdays that I do make it home to Ilocos.
