A few days ago, I digiscrapped a photo of him as a groom and showed it to him before we went to mass this morning. He loved it! He likes it a lot when he looks great in the photo. Haha!

I also tried cooking pork estofado for him. It had been his request a few days ago. So here it is!
It's a little overcooked but hey, it isn't bad for a first try. Besides, Val loved it so much. I actually had to tell him to slow down because it's a dangerous fatty food. Anyway, here's my recipe.
Ingredients:
1/2 kilo pork, cut into large serving pieces
3 pcs saba (plaintain banana) sliced diagonally into half
1 medium size carrot, sliced diagonally
2 medium size potato, cut into chunks
1 tbsp chopped spring onion
1/2 head garlic, crushed
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tsp peppercorns
2-3 pcs bay leaf
salt
Directions:
Lightly brown pork on all sides in a saucepan and set aside. Remove excess oil and in the same pan, saute garlic until fragrant. Add the pork, then pour in soy sauce, vinegar and 3 cups of water. Next, add in sugar, peppercorns and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Do not stir. Simmer in medium heat for 20-30 minutes or until pork is almost tender. Add more water if necessary. Add in carrot, potato and banana and cook for 5-10 minutes or until they're cooked and the liquid has reduced to almost dry and oily. Check saltiness, then garnish with spring onion. Enjoy!
