Today my hub and kids had to bring different lunches to school. Patch, who is still nursing a little bit of pain from her braces adjustment last Saturday, wanted something soft and easy.
Patch had pasta onion soup (center) with some focaccia (left) for dipping. I bought focaccia yesterday at Italianni’s-Gateway.
VGood (oh please be good!) doesn’t want soup, so she got Ate Jo (thank God for her) to cook fried chicken. We always shred (”himay”) V’s food already, especially when it’s chicken or pork, so she doesn’t have to wrestle with her lunch.
Hub, who doesn’t like fried food for baon, had sauted veggies and pork. No pics of his lunchbox, because he left too early and hurriedly.
So there, three different lunches for all of them. Parang umaga palang, ngarag na si Ate Jo, no?

wow imom, napaka-versatile ng umaga nyo sa kusina
different strokes for differents folks 
husband and i rarely have the same lunch because of different preferences (i sometimes bring rice lunches at work while he doesn’t). but i’d rather prepare different lunches kesa naman hindi kainin.
happy tuesday!!

Si Ate Jo, parang short order cook
Your kitchen must smell good with all those food.

Both the pasta onion soup and the fried chicken look yummy. By the way, I dropped by to give you an award because you have an interesting blog.

I can relate with you on the “shredding” part. So they can savor their lunch better.

Hi Cess! Simple lang – saute garlic, lots of onions and carrots. Add pasta, water and chicken cubes. Yun na! Actually, direktor lang ako dito, si ate Jo ang tunay na executive producer, ehehe.

Hi Julie! Corek, she gives in esp. to Vera para lang siguradong she will eat her lunch… I love her, but sometimes she spoils my kids too much.

Hi Ibyang! Just that tuesday morning, not everyday, otherwise maloloka ang cook at direktor, hehe. I agree with your last statement – kesa hindi kainin, cook nalang something they will eat.

Morning must be a very busy time of the day for Ate Jo.
I like the idea of shredding the meat so that V can eat with ease.

I remember the brace adjustment phase I would always have Chowking’s lomi. I use the same spiral pieces when I cook soup/sopas. =)
