Day 9/365: Friendship & food

P, H and me
Selfie with friends P and H. Glasses gang!

Tonight I went to dinner with a friend and ex-colleague (H) whom I haven't seen for a year and a half. We talked and laughed and we ate delicious Filipino food together. Not a half-bad way to spend an evening, and I got to introduce both of them to the joys of pancit and purple ice cream, which I'm pleased to report they thoroughly appreciated.

Mmmmm
Milkfish, tilapia and vegetables on a bed of rice, with extra vegetables and soup on the side. Plate of pancit as well, for sharing. So much yum. All eaten.

Now I really want Filipino food.

I am reminded that I was going to share this with you, following discussion of arroz caldo: 20-minute congee. The recipe is for Chinese-style congee, but the freezing technique should work for any sort of rice porridge. I've not tried it yet but plan to next week.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that application — nice idea. Let me know how it goes! I finally got around to freezing some, and will be trying it out for breakfast tomorrow.
