🇦🇹BLACKOUT WARNING IN AUSTRIA | OUR PRECAUTIONS & PREPARATIONS FOR SURVIVAL EP1

👩‍🍳Blackout – a widespread, possibly even Europe-wide power failure. Recently, the Austrian Defence Minister warns the public of possible BLACKOUT in the near future. Nobody knows when it will happen and how long it will take place. This was widespread since last year. But now I think it is about time to take precautions or should I say prepared awareness must take place right now. Hubby and I started today getting some stuff that we think we need. And I started to cook some foodstuff from our freezer to get rid of it and later on I’m gonna off the refrigerator. This can also help us to save some money because a too huge refrigerator for two people is too much and besides the electricity bill nowadays is too pricey. A sort of survival in an emergency situation will be our food supplies and water. Our precautions and preparations for survival in case it will take too long.

🇦🇹🇵🇭SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24 NOCHEBUENA 2022 

👩‍🍳Our Nochebuena last Christmas 2022, with my two kids Ronald-Louis and Diana-Grace. Our dogs got presents too from my daughter. I think they’re happy too. I decided to have a raclette or used it for my version of samgyeopsal. Moet for Champagne and Heineken beer for hubby. Samgyeopsal ➡️ is a popular Korean dish. Samgyeopsal is more or less a thinly sliced pork belly and is usually fried with garlic. Here I added beef meat and shrimp. And cheese for raclette with chili. Pork is not good for hypertension. 🙈😅Recipe yields for five persons. We also had kimchi and radish too. The sauce is all homemade. For the sauce recipe please check out here.⬇️

On a tour through the city’s restaurants, coffee houses, wine taverns, and markets, Vienna presents itself from its pleasurable side.

🌏TEMPURA SARDINES FILLET & BROCCOLI FRIED RICE WITH CHICKEN THIGHS FILLET 👩🏻‍🍳iCook 

👩‍🍳With the fried rice with vegetables, only good things end up on the plate. Broccoli packs plenty of health benefits. while chicken thighs provide plenty of protein power. And thanks to provitamin A, carrots are good for our skin. It’s one meal you can’t ask for more.

Sardines fillet is breaded with Tempura and served with homemade Achara from my niece. Of course with rice, because we are Filipino. Achara is made from grated unripe Papaya originating from my country- the Philippines. This dish is often served as an accompaniment to fried or grilled foods, such as roast pork also to fish.

TAGALOG: 👩‍🍳Pagkaing kinalakihan kung saan naging tao. Masarap at masustansiya rin na nakakapagbigay tulong sa ating kalusugan. Huwag lamang sobrahan gaya ng bagoong. Maalat na hindi maganda kung masobrahan nang kain. Dahil sa alta presyon o mataas na blood pressure ganon din sa puso. Bawat bagay na sobra ay hindi maganda sa kalusugan. Ah! basta masarap lahat ito. Nakaka miss kumain nang ganito lalo na kapag sa ibayong dagat ka naninirahan tulad ko. Salamat at kahit papaano ay may mabibili o may pagkukunan kahit na dito sa Vienna na kung saan ako ay naninirahan mahigit tatlong dekada na. Maraming salamat sa biyaya panginoon naming mapagmahal.
