Middleburgh Eats Filipino
Pushing back the gastronomic envelope, today, I ate Filipino. A filipina in my office very kindly lent me her grandmother's cook book (don't you just love it!!) and shared some photos from home. I appreciated both and have decided to also share them with the boys in Dublin.
