Trial and error


Cooking competition is approaching .

A week of trial and error for an entry in this competition has make everyone busy.An inexpensive and very nutritious dessert should be created . One has to be unique and eye catching in order to entertain not only the judges but also everyone who will be their to taste the dish.

Aratiles or the Jamaican cherry near the D.C.C. has attracted us. The idea of making this ordinary fruit into an appetizing dessert.Has captured our mind and gave us an inspiration. We cook this fruit and mix it with jelly . The result was good but we find this dish very common . Then one of our co-officers try to caramelize the cherry .The result was fantastic but we want more vitamins and health benefits added on it .That is when we start adding some vegetables on it. Watermelon rind, malunggay,swamp cabbage and chayote are added in this caramelize cherry . And so we end up with this creation "The Sweet Prugay" derive from the tagalog word prutas means fruits and gulay means vegetables.


Float Competition


Float of fresh fruits and vegetables. It excites me seeing how creative people can be using fruits and vegetables as their main decoration for making their float . Seeing children on their costumes really gave a smile on my face . Being aware of what is nutritious and healthy is the main objective of this events.

The parade started at Nepo quadrangle and ended at Angeles City Hall. 33 Barangays competed for the best float . One of my favorite above all is the float of vegetable in a structure of a hut. Children are dress in a native villager costume.

This event serve as an encouragement to every one.Making good nutrition a habit not only for this celebration but throughout lifetime also.
