Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
Did you know you need to peel your
asparagus? I was surprised that my friend was peeling her asparagus before she
had cooked it into bowling water. We normally just wash and boil it how it
comes from the grocery store.
I had asked my other friend about it and she was also surprised because she does the same thing in what we do as I was asking my friend who was peeling the white asparagus why you need to peel it she said this is what she was taught to do since her boyfriend is a chef.
I had looked into it more and was told when your asparagus is thick you need to peel the tough skin of the asparagus.
Although peeling the thin asparagus is not required to peel the skin it is not bad for you if you plan to eat it so far nothing has happened to me and we eat the skin often the asparagus are very thin the size of your pinky on your hand.
Imagine if I peeled that I have less to eat from it and asparagus are expensive in the Philippines.
