#kalabasa squash

Vegan Laswa (Filipino Vegetable Stew)

[filipeanut]

As the days get colder I crave hot pots of Filipino food and rice more and more. Ginataang calabasa with butternut squash, with some sili or chilis hits the spot.

Like your head, handle your kalabasa with care.

Japan Part 3

Itinerary: Your Name location, Cup Noodles, Gundam Factory, and Kamakura.

First full day namin today. Maaga kami gumising para pumunta sa location ng 'Your Name' yung famous stairs. Good thing, walang gaanong tao nung dumating kami siguro kasi maaga pa. Same lang yung itsura ng hagdan sa anime at real-life. We took some photos and videos then we went to Family Mart to eat muna. Ang sarap ng Onigiri huhu.

Next stop: Cup Noodles Factory. Since we always see this, we decided to visit. There wasn't much to see except noodles. We doodled on our cups and created our own noodles. I added chicken and squash. SQUASH? WHY, PAT? (Niluto ko na, hindi yummy yung kalabasa).

We cannot decide kung Gundam or Kamakura muna vivisit namin pero in the end hinuli nalang namin ung Kamakura para maganda ung shots ng sunset.

Nung nasa Gundam Factory na kami, sira yung gundam HAHAHAHA. siguro 1hr din kami naghintay bago magawa yung Gundam at mag-start yung show. It was nice. Tho, akala ko talaga Voltez V yun 🫥.

Around 4PM na before kami nakarating sa station. We waited lang ng few minutes para sa train papuntang Kamakura. Ang ganda ng view outside. Ang ganda ng dagat tapos ang gloomy pa. When we arrived na sa station, ang daming tao sa famous 'spot' since eto yung nasa Slam Dunk :D. I was also amazed na pati ung uniforms ng student is same sa Slam Dunk. We took photos and videos lang and umuwi na since gabi na. I love this place sayang lang kasi late na namin sya navisit. Babalik nalang ako sa susunod, mas maaga na sana. Dumaan muna kami sa Burger King since huling kain namin umaga pa 😐 WTH ANG SARAP NG BURGER KING KAPAG GUTOM? ILANG SUBO LANG NAMIN UBOS NA AGAD HEHE. ILY BURGER KING 😚

Ayun lang, nakalimutan ko na yung ibang nangyari.

December 4, 2023

Last day of my 2 day off. It sucks. Woke up with Ed not by my side because he knows he might wake me up. That's so considerate of him.

Ate the remaining cookies and shared one with Ed downstairs. He cooked some pakbet and it was so good because we had the real kalabasa and not the butternut squash that we have here. We're going to pack it for our lunch tomorrow. My GP called me and prescribed something for my constipation. I'll try it but it seems to me that I might not know what I was saying earlier. I'll ask for an investigation soon. My constipations is getting better but I sometimes have to strain because I feel it's incomplete when I poo sometimes. That's what I hate. Maybe it's my diet or what but I'm not really happy with it.

Spent the day just being lazy and watching reels and drowning in the algorithm. That's what lazy days are meant for isn't it? I saw that I have a bank shift on Saturday and it's an IPP list. My very first one. I'm going to do it because it'll pay me more than a regular day. I'm so glad I was booked by Sam. I'll have extra dough to save up for my US trip.

Today's been so lazy but that's fine. I skipped gym today because my body can't handle lifting today. I'll go early tomorrow since I'm on a late shift and would have the chance to workout.

Kare-Kare Special

A famous native Filipino dish that is mostly served when there's a big celebration. The popular classy restaurants here in the country, they have this in the menu list.

Do you know what a tripe is? It's the cow's interior.

Here's how I prepare it.

Make the tripe tender through a boiling water.

2. Prepare the pumpkin or squash, whichever you want to call it, it's up to you, but in Filipino, there's only one name, we call it "kalabasa".

3. Saute the garlic and onion. Add the tendered tripe and sliced squash. Mix well, and add water. Cover for 5 minutes, in low heat. I do not have the shrimp paste which is the original partner for this. What I did, I add some seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover again for another 5 minutes after mixing.

4. Blanch the string beans and eggplant until half-cooked, then add the green cabbage. In Filipino, that is "pechay".

5. Drain the meat and vegetables. Set aside.

6. You may add annatto powder if you wish for coloring purpose.

7. Drop the ground peanut into the hot soup and mix well until thick. Turn off the heat. In a bowl, add this peanut mixture and on top of it, add the mixed tripe and vegetables.

Thats it. It's finished. Get your plate and take your meal.

Ginataang Kalabasa at Hipon

Ginataang kalabasa at hipon is a delightful Filipino dish combining squash, string beans, and shrimps in a creamy coconut milk sauce.

[mcl4r3n]

Dinner is ginataang kalabasa (squash coconut soup) and that delicious max/george fic 😌🍲

Ginataang Calabas

Any dish prepared with wonderful coconut milk is referred to as ginataan. It is deliciously creamy and gives the crisp, fresh flavors of the vegetables we already know and love a lovely twist. Particularly in areas like the Bicol region, ginataan is very well-liked. Coconut milk and a lot of spice are two ingredients that Bicolanos adore in their food.

It is crucial that you prepare all of your ingredients before beginning to cook your Ginataang Kalabasa at Sitaw. Slice the string beans, also known as sitaw, into pieces that are approximately 2 inches long. Also cube the kalabasa or squash. Your chopped onions, ginger, and garlic are other items that could also need to be prepared (crushed).

INSIDE A CIRCLE PT. 3

Scene 4 

Agnes’ room (Holy Angel University’s Saint Michael Hall). October 17, 2016. Lunch. 

AGNES 

(she was about to exit her room when NICHOLAS, who was waiting for her and has been hiding beside the doorway, jumped in front of her, causing her to shout out of shock) Ay, peklat ng kalabasa! (glared at NICHOLAS) Are you planning to kill me?! 

NICHOLAS 

(laughs hysterically and imitates her reaction) Ay, peklat ng kalabasa! When did squash have scars? Am I late with the news? (laughs loudly) 

AGNES 

Ha-ha, funny! (mocks NICHOLAS’ laugh; NICHOLAS continues laughing) Tsk! 

NICHOLAS 

Okay, okay. I’ll stop now. (tries to calm himself) Let’s go now to fetch AMAIA because I’m very hungry! (he goes to AGNES’ back and carefully pushed her as they start walking to Saint Gabriel Hall) 

SEQUENCE 2 

10th floor of Archbishop Pedro Santos Building. October 27, 2016. Lunch. 

(NICHOLAS and AGNES started walking towards the railings of the rooftop as they arrived to the 10th floor of Archbishop Pedro Santos Building, while holding their food)

AGNES 

(she and NICHOLAS placed their food on the block wall of the railings) Did you know that LIGAYA got suspended for three days because she threw KURT’s pomade instead of just handing it to him? 

NICHOLAS 

(intrigued, looks at her) She got suspended just because she threw KURT’s pomade? (asks confusedly) 

AGNES 

The story is not yet finished. When LIGAYA threw KURT’s pomade to him, it hit his nose. (NICHOLAS reacts in grimace) Though it didn’t bleed that much, the nurse insisted to report the incident to Sir ZEPEDA. The nurse called the mother, and told her that KURT’s nose was bleeding continuously–in a tone like KURT was in 50/50 danger. 

NICHOLAS 

Yo, that’s foul. The nurse was exaggerated. 

AGNES 

Even KURT’s mother said that. She didn’t even want to push LIGAYA’s suspension, but I don’t know. (shrugs) It’s actually the nurse’s fault that LIGAYA’s suspended for three consecutive days. 

NICHOLAS 

When will she start? Tomorrow? (AGNES nods as she took a bite of her lumpiang gulay. he looks in front and also ate his turon) Poor LIGAYA. 

(*silence*) 

Hey, AGNES… (called her without turning to her) 

AGNES 

What? (replied without also looking at NICHOLAS while continuously finishing her lumpiang gulay)

NICHOLAS 

What I’m about to say is actually weird because we aren’t like this, but… (pause)I just want to say that if you have problems, tell to us, especially me. (AGNES was stopped from eating because of what he just said) You are my best friend ever since we were kids. It utterly makes me sad when you avoid us. So, if there’s something wrong, you can directly address it with me. (faces AGNES) No secrets shall be hidden, right? 

AGNES 

(slowly looked at NICHOLAS) Y-Yeah. No secrets shall be hidden, just like before… (gulps) 

SEQUENCE 3 

Nicholas’ house (Santa Trinidad, Angeles City). October 29, 2016. Inside Nicholas’ room. Nicholas’ birthday. 

(AMAIA, ALIYAH, and AGNES’ planned to surprise NICHOLAS since his parents were also not around) 

ALIYAH 

AGNES hold your position! (whispered frustratedly to AGNES who was finding a scotch tape because her party hat’s strap snapped) 

AGNES 

Oh, my goodness! My hat’s falling. (whispered anxiously; she runs to her place while holding her party hat) 

NICHOLAS 

(happily arrived in front of their door as he was dancing with the bouquet he was holding) Because I’m happy, clap along if you feel like a room without a roof. (sings Happy by Pharrel Williams) 

AMAIA, ALIYAH 

Happy birthday, NICHOLAS! 

AGNES 

H-Happy birthday, Nicholas! (greets while struggling with her party hat. She gave up and turned to NICHOLAS. She furrowed in curiosity when she glimpsed the bouquet NICHOLAS was holding) 

NICHOLAS

(hides the bouquet behind his back) W-Woah! Thanks, guys! (tries not to stutter despite everyone wondering about the bouquet) But w-wait! I’ll just change! (runs upstairs, while his friends was shocked by his entrance) 

SEQUENCE 4 

Amaia’s house (Santa Trinidad, Angeles City). October 31, 2016. Outside Amaia’s house. After Amaia’s birthday party. 

AMAIA 

(she went outside to throw their plastic garbage when she was surprised when she saw NICHOLAS standing five steps away from her) NICHOLAS… what are you still doing here? Did you forget something? (asks innocently) 

NICHOLAS 

(steps forward) I forgot to give you this. 

AMAIA 

(looks at the familiar bouquet) Isn’t that the bouquet you have when we surprised you on your birthday? 

NICHOLAS 

(stunned) Y-Yes. I-I mean, n-no! (quickly turned his face to the side to aggressively close his eyes, then turned again to AMAIA who was weirded out because of his actions) Here’s my gift for you. (steps closer to hand the bouquet) 

AMAIA 

(accepts the bouquet) Okay… thanks. (smiles to NICHOLAS who was dumbfounded while looking at her) But why are you dressing up like that? Are you off somewhere? (asks cluelessly) 

NICHOLAS 

Uh… actually, there’s something you should know. 

AMAIA 

What is it? Is it a chika? (laughs) 

NICHOLAS

(laughs; shook his head) I came here because I wanted to confe- (he was not able to finish what his about to say when AGNES accidentally dropped the box of gifts she was supposed to give to AMAIA. They synchronously turned to her.) 

AMAIA AGNES? (asks curiously) What are you- (she was not able to finish her sentence when AGNES suddenly run away from them, leaving them clueless)
