The regular pumpkins you'd carve for Halloween are also edible, and I think most are, but they can be really fibrous and not puree very easily, especially when they're bigger and older.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020986406730749423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772151665349754050.post-70708073459424155622007-11-17T10:36:00.000-07:002007-11-17T10:36:00.000-07:00Does it matter what kind of pumpkin you use?Does it matter what kind of pumpkin you use?Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11711969146276630261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772151665349754050.post-83204582784359554432007-11-06T21:38:00.000-07:002007-11-06T21:38:00.000-07:00Oh man, I was so glad I had some bibingka on hand!...Oh man, I was so glad I had some bibingka on hand! The kheer by itself was pretty good, but even with the crunch from the pumpkin seeds, I felt like I needed something extra to break up the texture. The bibingka was a taste and texture duo bonus! I'll be putting that post up in the next few days.<BR/><BR/>I haven't had time to really give a hard look at "Memories of Philippine Kitchens," but my first impression was that it was eye candy first. The recipes aren't always necessarily traditional, as some are altered to suit the authors' tastes--no harm in that. That said, they definitely aren't my memories of Mom's Philippine kitchen. Coconut in adobo might be traditional in some provinces, but it's foreign to my tongue. When I think adobo, I think salty and tangy, <A HREF="http://onewallkitchen.blogspot.com/2007/10/raymond-sokolovs-cooks-canon-101.html" REL="nofollow">like this</A>. This recipe is almost identical to my mom's, except for its substitution of white wine vinegar for regular white vinegar. Still, you get the vinegar tang and the soy sauce salt. The sweet doesn't seem right, but I'll give it a try some day and have a better idea then.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020986406730749423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772151665349754050.post-64296522600999969122007-11-06T10:50:00.000-07:002007-11-06T10:50:00.000-07:00Excellent use of bibinka!

I didn't like the adobo recipe in it and I wonder if it's just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772151665349754050.post-36921693957123682612007-11-06T09:54:00.000-07:002007-11-06T09:54:00.000-07:00Thanks!
