Menudo Attempt

So I finally decided to do a weekly grocery and start cooking. My husband went to work today so I told him to meet me at SM Hypermarket at the end of his shift so I’ll have enough time to check each aisle at the grocery store. I listed a couple of dish before heading out. For tonight’s dinner I wanted to cook Menudo. But before that, let me show you what I picked up for this week’s emergency food: some cookies, cereals (and fresh milk), mamon (for my husband’s AM snack), bread and two different spreads (for quick breakfast) aaand some chips (hidden! So I won’t get scolded. LOL) 

Okay, now for the menudo, I bought only the basic ingredients:

Note to self: Don’t rely on some ready mix next time. It’s a major FAIL! Good thing I learned a few tricks about altering taste from my mum so I was able to pull it off. The husband loved it! (thank you, thank you *curtsy*) This is the finished product: 

No left-over! Amaaazing! I can’t tell you enough how happy I was to see my husband enjoying the dish I prepared. The husband also appreciates the fact that this time, I make sure there’s always enough food in our kitchen so we don’t have to rush down to 7/11 every time we’re hungry. I must admit I still lack some fruits on the table but we do buy some mixed fruit every now and then. Still, I guess I’m almost ready to be a mum :)
