Thank you so much. I cook a lot of Filipino dishes, but like the majority of housewives, I do not ordinarily measure my ingredients, thus, the taste of my cooking sometimes vary from time to time. Your recipes make me more assured that my cooking, which includes of course my personal touch and style which others may refer to as "secret", will be the same at anytime and at anyplace.
God bless you. You do a great service to God's children.
