Flight cancelled due to war

Flight cancelled due to war

Just when I am so excited for my anticipated annual leave going to the Philippines because I was thinking that finally I would be able to taste again my Filipino street food cravings, that's when war struck out in GCC and Middle East was bombed by Iran this 28 February 2026. They were retaliating and dropped the missiles in the US bases in the GCC because Trump and Israel bombed Iran. The end result: Airspace was closed in Qatar until government officials says that it is safe to fly. (I was due to take Qatar Airways to Manila from London and later).

Anyway, that's what's life is. You'll never know. Bummer, I know! And it would mean more expense for me. But I'm still thankful for I am alive.

To be honest, I don't like war. At the end of the day it's a lose-lose situation especially to the most vulnerable.

Let's see what will happen later. I hope to update you if time permits.

Till next time! Hoping you are all well and safe!

Savoury Aubergine Recipe by Sanegeal Farmhear

So I was wondering on how I would cook the remaining aubergine in the fridge as I don't have bagoong.

Then an idea struck me.

I pan fried the cut aubergine in a minimal cooking oil (it does absorb a lot of the oil) in a low heat. Cook on both sides.

Add Lee Kum Kee Hoisin sauce and the Lee Kum Kee Char chiu Chili oil.

It was as good as I've visualized.

This recipe would be better I think if I had stirfried it instead with garlic and onion. Or perhaps just serve it with green onions on top?

Anyway, enjoy!

Just vibing and typing my discovered recipe when this song came as a random play.

After all the trial and error, I finally found the taste of the samgyupsal that I like. It is also important to use fresh meat and with good stripes of the fat and pork.

Put knorr seasoning in the pork belly and massage in both sides
