[Summary] => You must be planning to go to the beach, either in the South or North (Cavite and Batangas, or Ilocos and Pangasinan) of Luzon, or way down south to Cebu or Talisay, or along the soothing coastline of Bohol. Wherever you are going, you need to organize. As promised, here are some suggestions/tips to help you experience a memorable, enjoyable time with family and friends.

[Title] => What’s that fish?
[Summary] => We got mail from three of our readers giving us fish names, varying names for different kinds of fish. Our friends from Australia refer to seabass as barramundi. From Rodolfo Pagcatipunan, whose source is a Sunday magazine (not this one): snapper is maya-maya, tuna is tulingan, gulyasan or bariles; mackarel "could be" tulingan, alumahan or tanguige; nemipterids are bisugo; caesio is dalagang bukid.

[Title] => Monitoring prices
[Summary] => How seriously is this being done? How efficient and how trustworthy are the agencies tasked to do this? Time and again prices are listed publicly, but every time a homemaker goes to the market, she finds her budget not enough because prices have gone up. A case in point–the very basic red onion was commanding the horrific price of P80 a kilo while tomatoes were at P50. And that was at a so-called bargain market, the ANNI. Bulalo over there was at P275 a kilo. Large eggs are at more than P4.50 per and pork is at P150 a kilo.

[Title] => Di na uso ang 'Panday' - Roxas
[Summary] => Kumpiyansa ang Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) na walang malaking epekto sa pamumuhunan ang napipintong pagtakbo ni action king Fernando Poe Jr. sa pagka-presidente.
Mismong si Trade Secretary Mar Roxas ang nagsabi na hindi kayang pahinain ni Poe ang matatag na imahe ng Pilipinas bilang ‘investment hub in Southeast Asia’ dahil noon mismong kumakalat ang balita na tatakbo bilang pangulo si Poe ay pumasok ang American auto giant na Ford sa bansa.

[Title] => Hydroponics makes for picture-perfect crops
[Summary] => Farm crops grown to big sizes and picture-perfect appearances are usually thought of as imported into the country. But when you go to the Rustan’s Supermarket or Price Smart, you’d know that such marvels aren’t and are in fact grown in cool Tagaytay, particularly at the Toscana Farms owned by Andre Kahn and Leo Prieto Jr. While they admit to importing the hybrid tomato seeds from Belgium, which produces the finest of the lot, growing them locally would have been impossible if not handled the way Toscana Farms does.

[Title] => Let’s cook Thai
[Summary] => Friends have often asked us about Thai cooking. In fact, we have thought about conducting cooking demonstrations on this particular cuisine. But Thai ingredients, mainly spices and unique seasonings, were not available. We tried to convince a Thai-owned hotel to put up a deli in their lobby shop to meet this particular demand as well as to promote the cuisine. We did not succeed.

[Title] => Meatless meals
[Summary] => Easter is soon upon us, but in the meantime, let’s extend our meatless meals and serve fish on our table. There are lots of delicious seafood recipes that can be enhanced, using what you already have in your cupboard such as spices, lemon juice and even mango jam. Certainly seafood is much lighter and healthier than pork, beef and chicken. The problem could be cost because during the Lenten Season, vendors normally hike their prices. Buy your seafood before the Holy Week, clean and store in the freezer.

[Title] => Dressed-up Hasa Hasa
[Summary] => For P70 we got half a kilo–four pieces–of hasa-hasa. Tired of paksiw, fried and sarsiado, we leafed through our new cookbook and an idea grabbed us. There were various meat recipes and we got attracted to Stir Fried Szechuan Pork with bell peppers, broccoli, scallions, soy and vinegar. We decided to try this recipe with the hasa—hasa instead of the pork. The resulting dish is delicious with that distinctive Chinese flavor and aroma. You can do the same–substitute fish for meat. You will be eating light and healthy.
