My BIG BAD WOLF ONLINE BOOK HAUL arrived!!!

-
After three months of waiting, my BIG BAD WOLF book haul last July, when they had their online sale, arrived. It's free shipping for orders of at least P3,000. 

I got 6 Hippo Magic books which I will gift my three nieces this coming December. It has this Virtual Reality version when an app is downloaded in the phone. I am excited for these finds. See photo below:

I also scored a Big Book of Christmas Board games which has delightful figures and illustrations. We will be using this when everyone congregates for the holidays. Got me a coloring book filled with creatures of ENCHANTED FOREST. See photos below with the red book as size reference. See, both are big books indeed.

Below is a thick but small book of well, 1001 WAYS TO SAVE THE EARTH. I can share tips from it with you soon. 


Well, I finished the trilogy of books, read the bio of Stieg Larson and now Im intrigued how this author continued the saga in this last installment which was  started by Larson before his untimely demise. Saw all the Movies too. 
Well, well, well. Let's meet them in pages. I refer to the people featured in this last four books. Btw, the book on Nelson Mandela is a compilation of his speeches and essays. Im a bit disappointed as I thought it was an autobio. Well, here they are: 
Yes, I mess with enegry and food philosophy. Here are the two titles i got. 

As always, BBW offers happy finds for me. MoRe power Big Baf Wolf!!!!

Do you still remember how Sarali or Sirali taste?

This "Sarali" is a childhood fruit for everyone who grew up in the Visayan area of the Philippines. Also known as  Flacourtia jangomas or Indian Plum or coffee plum, Sarali is best enjoyed by pressing one fruit between one's palm, move it in circular motion until tender, and pop the soft flesh quickly in one's mouth save the seeds. Just like apple, this fruit oxidizes quickly and thus, gets dark brown easily. It can give one's teeth a nasty brown shade. Sour with a hint of sweet, this is a must-try fruit. I believe, the fruit has an economic value just like sarguellas and lanzones. *** *** *** ***  Related readings:  Possible Treatment of Diabetes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2959214/ Anti bacterial property:  http://www.ijplsjournal.com/issues%20PDF%20files/july2011/1.pdf

Linabog nga Bisaya nga Manok

When I searched for Linabog in th web, I can see entries on Linabog but using a different souring agent and usually the fish called "pagi" is used. Also, they attribute Linabog to the Cebuanos and there is one video which explained that the word means "throw away" because the parts used in the dish are parts which are usually to be thrown away, like the bony "pagi." Meanwhile, there is also a "kinunot" way of cooking which means "hinimay" or flaked for the Luzon. The name was also coined for leftover parts of fish or chicken. In Hiligaynon, the word "labog" means forcefully thrown away.  This surprised me because when I was small, I heard from my father and his friends about this linabog and they used the leaves of labog plant. So I grew up having some idea of what linabog cooking means and definitely, the Cebuanos' definition of Linabog dish is far from my Ilonggo definition. And yes, Ilonggos ...

TIKUM KADLUM (The Enchanted Dog, The First of the Ten Epics of Panay Bukidnon)

At the house. One day, Bulawanon engaged the help of Tikum Kadlum, a hunting dog with the gift of sensing the spirits, in cooking rice for his husband Paiburong and his brother Dumaraog who will be going hunting. When the rice was cooked, the brothers ate fast. Then, while Bulawanon packed the betel nut for her husband, Paiburong and Dumaraog dressed themselves, with Dumaraog suggesting they match their sashes and belts, since he is his brother's loyal protector. To complete their hunting preparations, the two brought out their long-bladed sharp knives, shields, spears, and lances from their gold chest and wall hanger. When everything is set, Paiburong bade goodbye to his wife, Bulawanon, who reminded her husband to be careful as he might meet in the forest one named Makabagting, who is accompanied by a man-eating woman called Muwa. Makabagting is a nobleman and a warrior who is widely known as having tasted human flesh. Paiburong went out of his house, and he heard a sound. It...
