  Pinakbet : It's a local dish from Ilocos Norte, Philippines. My hometown is Paoay, Ilocos Norte. You can also add any Fish and Shrimp or none. The traditional way to cook this is to place every ingredient in a clay pot, place the lid, shake it with Bagoong (Anchovy Paste), and let it cook on a clay burner. No meat, mostly. Calabaza will balance the sweetness with the bitterness of the Biter Mellon. I like adding a lot of tomatoes to my Pinakbet. It gives a bit of sourness with a tint of sweetness. The pork sides or pork belly for Lechon Kawali. It doesn't have to be Lechon Kawali. Make sure to boil the pork separately first hand. I went to Indian Bazar Market for the onion and other ingredients. Good price too... obviously, too organic, lol. Just take out the skin, and it's cleaned. Some of this eggplant will do. I sometimes take the once on the right. Some Indian Bitter Mellon. I was looking for the smaller kinds. I found a few half the size of the ones you see here.  Us

Inabraw : What I love about this dish is that it is so simple to make, tastes great, and is healthy for you. I can use any fish with this dish. As for now, I'm adding two of these striped bass. It'll be fried. It's a good thing the Asian market frying service is free. What makes the Inabraw stew. Jute leaves . Two frozen pacts of these are all I need today. Any safe edible mushrooms work for the Inabraw. This oyster mushroom works well with the stew. I love this gourd. I don't know about you, but I can eat this in any soup or stew, and I won't crave any carnivore diet.  They don't carry the half once. This calabaza squash is dangerous to cut in half.  You also be needing ginger for the Inabraw Ingredients. Fish sauce for sodium or to balance the taste. Also add water before cooking the Inabraw. Dinner time. I couldn't finish the appetizers but I did on the Inabraw. If you haven't got a copy of SWARM: The Pentalogy yet, please I best recommend to do so.

Mission accomplished! The manuscript turned out to be so long that I decided to split it into a five-novella series. While the length was a factor in this decision, it wasn't the only one. Self-publishing such a lengthy manuscript on a tight budget proved challenging. Additionally, breaking the story into novellas allowed me to explore the narrative one novella at a time, providing an opportunity to grow as a storyteller and enhance my writing skills. I'm excited to announce that SWARM: The Pentalogy  is now available on Amazon .  SWARM: The Pentalogy is a single book that contains all five novellas. You can read them separately or collect the entire series in one volume. Nathan and David, two college friends from Berkeley, embark on a duck hunting trip in Michigan with Raymond. However, their adventure takes a surreal turn when they stumble upon a mysterious portal that thrusts them into the distant future. In this future, Earth is a humid, waterlogged world with only a few sc

Juan of the Dead is a 2011 Cuban-Spanish comedy horror film directed by Alejandro Brugués. This unique take on the zombie genre is known for its satirical humor and inventive storytelling. The story is set in Havana, Cuba, where a group of friends, led by the titular character, Juan, portrayed by Alexis Díaz de Villegas , confronts a zombie apocalypse. Rather than succumbing to fear, they decide to turn it into a business, offering their services as "zombie exterminators" to those who want to rid themselves of the undead menace. The film blends elements of horror, comedy, and social commentary, using the zombie outbreak as a metaphor for the everyday struggles faced by ordinary Cubans. Written and directed by Alejandro Brugués , the film's screenplay is notable for its witty humor and its ability to seamlessly weave political satire and social commentary into the zombie apocalypse narrative. "Juan of the Dead" stands out as a fresh and entertaining addition t

The screenplay for the film is based on a novel by Pit Agarmen , and the adaptation for the screen was done by Jérémie Guez , Guillaume Lemans , and Dominique Rocher . This film is a masterpiece. It stands out from other zombie films due to the zombies' notably quiet behavior, which I find quite appe
