Costco's ready-to-eat food is looking better all the time....

Moving Day for the Peraltas

 Elder J trying out our old bed from our first house here.  When we moved to our new house this bed went to Jhun and Marivic.  A king-sized real bed!  

Doesn't get better than that!

 This is the crib Schlagers and us bought for baby Moroni.  But it was too large for their last house.

Our baby cribs at home are much safer than this one!

Although this house is bigger and quite deluxe compared to any others in Maligaya, you can see by the CR (comfort room= bathroom) the house is still very crude and very basic.

The Making of a Meal...Filipino Style

The kitchen set-up...visions of camp?

The 'Prized" Victim!

Off with it's head!  

The whole party watched and took part.

Chris, below, is taking it for a walk to bleed out.

 Tiguro's new toy!

Hot boiling water bath to remove the feathers....I remember doing this as a child on our farm. 

But I sure would hate to do it today!

 PLUCKING HER CLEAN!

 

NOW CUTTING HER UP... 

Chris using a banana leaf as a cutting board to chop vegetables for the milk fish that will also be part of the meal.

 NOW WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE THEY DO WITH THE INNARDS?

They wrap the intestines around a stick and roast them for the children.  They cut up the heart, liver and gizzards to put in the pancit.

They don't waste anything!

I have NO clue what these delectibles are!

Chris using a SMALL paring knife to peel and slice ginger root. 

Look at the size of that thing!  He is so adept at using it for many other things too.  It is very sharp.

Ready to put on the fire.

Treats for the kids! 

Chicken cut-up and 

ready for adobo.

Rice cooking with the help of a homemade windbreaker.

Just add the seasonings and cook through!

Everyone Taking Part

You can see several smoking camp fires throughout the neighborhood.  It's lunch time!

 

 Camping skills that we learn at home are an everyday necessity here!

A plywood board serving as a wall able to hang the 

family's meaningful pictures.

A great day to "Bless" this new home for a wonderful family!

ANOTHER MEMBER MOVING...

 

 Our trusty truck...on the move again!

WE DRAW A CROWD 

WHERE EVER WE GO!

Elder Christensen giving much needed service!

 

This house is in Carissa I, which is a little subdivision.

Upgraded living here.

Whereas, those who live in Maligaya are more in squatter's homes.
