I'm so glad I got a gardenia-scented candle a few months ago because it made me feel nostalgic and like I was in my childhood home again. She used to take care of them alongside my mom. I'll probably put it under my candle lamp and take a nap when I get home.

Alice could not eat food for years.

And yet at Christmas she would bake cookies and mail them to me—such was her desire to provide care for the people she loved.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

Definitely a good time for sinigang!

Remember to make the glutinous rice balls & cook the sago fully beforehand. The sugar and coconut cream cook first. Langka is a must imo, but the cooking order depends on if you include plantains or saba, camote, ube, etc. Everyone makes it differently! GL~

YASSSSS 😏🤝🇵🇭 I just made some tonight bahahaha. Ofc my favorite soup is a Filipino dessert soup: ginataang bilo-bilo

Oh yeah, pho is great for #1! If y'all ever do a second version of this, I hope y'all get a chance to try a tamarind-based Filipino soup called sinigang and see where it lands~ I like making a spicy version of it.

A KINDRED SPIRIT 🤝🥹🎉🎉
