Longanisa Bento

| April 27, 2010

Two entries down, you’ll find my entry on Homemade Skinless Turkey Longanisa, which we had for dinner exactly a week ago.  We missed the goodness of longanisa so much that throughout dinner that night, we kept uttering “Mmmm!” (Sometimes with eyes closed even!) after every bite.  My daughter decided she wanted longanisa for her school [...]
