mmmmm.... :D champ and fish value meal, aka champorado't tuyo.
masarap ang champorado't tuyo. the marriage of sweet and salty is a union made in heaven. the milk slides as the innate saltiness of the sun dried fish explodes in your mouth like the sudden burst of life in the spring.
one very fond memory that i have associated with champorado was during that faithful stormy afternoon. nung day na un, mom gathered all three of her kids (me, te mai and te farah kasi wala pa si ace nun). back then we lived in a small house. cozy. we felt like a family. i love my family. anyway, i was s o fuckin scared of the lightning, thunder and the occasional power fluctuations. i cried. mom hugged me. my sisters hugged me. we all hugged each other. (nasan si dad? well, he was fixing the ceiling leaks but if he wasn't preoccupied about taking care of our house and US in general, he would've been there huggin everyone too.) after the storm, mom called everyone to eat champorado and tuyo. i love my mom, i love my dad, i love my sisters, i love my family. champorado and tuyo reminds me of that special afternoon. a small middle class family gathered together to eat, talk, laugh, smile and share each others company. that afternoon we found solace in each other. a comfort that can never be replaced or substituted by anything. the warmth and the security that a whole and loving family brings.
maraming salamat sa taong nakaimbento ng champorado't tuyo. pinagpala ka.
