OMG this is not AI, it's real. It's a must watch.

2011. Obama announces a DOGE department and puts Joe Biden in charge of it! 😂

"Nobody messes with Joe." 🤣

Y’all know where the ubiquitous chicken came from? Forget about what came first. True question is: Where did the first chicken lay its first egg? Good chance in our jungles.

Remember. Just because they gave foreign names to our native dishes, don’t mean they taught us our native techniques. Just because they capitalized trade, don’t mean we weren’t trading and traversing oceans for generations.

Then we get to desserts. The salads (macaroni, fruit). The rice cakes (puto, bibingka). The root cakes (cassava, ube hiliya). The flour cakes (sansrival, chiffon). The egg cakes (brasodemersedes, leche flan). Each require study and practice to perfect.

The base ingredients are very simple. Garlic. Onion. Ginger. Tomato. Black pepper. Vinegar. Citrus. Soy sauce. Fish sauce. Bay leaf. Lemongrass. Coconut milk. The good Filipino cook must balance the flavors to get the right mix. It’s art and science.

Let’s take #adobo. So many permutations. Wet or dry. Fry or no fry. Dry then reconstituted to bet wet. Onion and/or oyster sauce to thicken sauce (sarsiado). Vinegar from the beginning or vinegar at the end.

Let’s chicken soup. It’s tinola if you fry the aromatics and chicken; it’s linaga if you only boil everything

My hill to die on: #Filipino cuisine is as complex in techniques and philosophy as any classical cuisine (i.e., French and Chinese).

Cherish every moment. Like a child anticipating what’s next with wonder and innocence. Like it was just like the first time and what just might be the last. If we lived each year, each season, each day as so: then what a cherished life we’ll have.

It’s the circle of life. Who knows, maybe that full ass raccoon fed some coyotes thereafter.

I lost four chickens in one month. Two of which were the first father and the first mother: Roosty the Rooster and Hennifer “aka Henny” the Hen. Survived by a sister and the three chicks: Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

Good thing we had good parents.

Epigenetics suggests environment affects DNA expression. Our cells express DNA differently from abundance and lack.
