đŸ’ź Relief Goods from Mandaluyong City
When the pandemic hit, many of us found ourselves in a whirlwind of uncertainty. I never thought I’d receive relief goods, thinking that the middle class was ineligible. However, our City Mayor of Mandaluyong reminded us that everyone, regardless of social status, felt the impact of this crisis. And yes, as taxpayers, we, too, deserved assistance.When the relief goods arrived, I did a sit-down video to show you all the contents: rice, canned goods, instant noodles, and even some basic hygiene supplies. Unpacking those items made me emotional as I realized how the pandemic united us in shared struggles. It didn’t matter if you were wealthy, middle class, or struggling financially—everyone was affected in some way.
The act of receiving help during such a trying time taught me humility and gratitude. It reminded me that even small gestures of kindness could mean the world to someone.
đŸ�´ Longganisa Transformation: From Ordinary to Extraordinary
The second part of my vlog focused on turning an ordinary sausage—our beloved Longganisa—into a special meal. If you’re tired of frying it the usual way, this recipe is a game-changer.Here’s how I did it:
- Boil First: Instead of frying right away, I boiled the Longganisa to cook it evenly. After boiling, I discarded the first water to remove excess grease.
- Second Boil: I added fresh water and let it boil until the water evaporated. This method brings out the natural oil from the Longganisa.
- Flavor Boost: To elevate the flavor, I added a pinch of powdered pepper, chopped garlic, and diced potatoes.
- A Sweet Twist: Here’s the secret ingredient—pineapple juice! It adds a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the savory sausage. Simmer until the sauce thickens to your liking.
- Finish with Butter: Just before serving, I stirred in a small amount of butter. This adds a rich aroma and enhances the overall taste.
