Slice Raw Squid in Vinegar

One of the foods that I've been craving for the past several days is the one that my grandma used to prepare while I was still in the Philippines. I love eating fresh raw slice squid in vinegar, onion, tomatoes, scallions, hot pepper especially during the summer because we normally go to the beach every weekend. We paired it with grill pork or fried fish. I am drooling while staring at the picture my Mama send to me last night. Take a look at the picture above!

Mix Grilled Food

My family and relatives went to a picnic in the beach last weekend and I am so jealous because the food that they prepared looks so delicious. They grill some fresh seashells, fish and some marinated pork. These are the type of foods that I missed so much back home. Here's the picture above and below!

Seafood Fajita

I was actually looking for some great food ideas which I am planning to prepare for my late birthday party next week. One of my friends showed me a picture of her delicious seafood fajita which she ordered while dining out with her husband. The pictures look very enticing and delicious and I am thinking of cooking this type of food next week along with some other foods that my husband picked for me.
