Tita Sara’s pinakbet
I hate okra. I hate string beans. I hate bitter melon. But tell me why all these ingredients united in a dish called pinakbet tastes like Jessica Alba?
The pinakbet photo above is like a group picture of the Superfriends. You know the Superfriends, that group of super heroes that band together once a year for the greater good? And when separate, are only annoying silly people in costume? Well, pinakbet is a mix of food I don’t respect in it’s separate parts, but eat up like a pig’s last meal when united as one to save the earth.
I think the ingredient that holds it all together is the bagoong. Yeah, like Batman. I always thought Batman was the one who held the Superfriends together in the cartoon show but never got the respect he deserved. He’s so cool. Sometimes I forget he’s dressed up as a ninja/bat with his underwear outside his tights. Batman and pinakbet are supercool.
Happy mother’s day to my mom, Tita Sara, your mom, and gay dads.
