In reply to Liren. Thanks, Liren. A trip to Manaoag is a must for me whenever we are in the Philippines. You're right, the rituals are such a comfort. The food of course, like the pinakbet, is just special. All is well, thanks :-)

I loved this post, Betty. The return to ritual, especially that of mass, is always one I find comforting, both for the famiarity and community. I suppose the same can be said for familiar foods like pinakbet, which I have been craving recently! Hope you are well, hugs!

In reply to Vicki Bensinger. Thanks, Vicki. So nice of you to come and visit the blog. It's always very encouraging to receive the nicest comments. This is an easy recipe with layers of flavors. The ampalaya or bitter melon is a wonderful vegetable from the gourd family and I have other recipes on this blog. Enjoy :-)

This dish looks so satisfying and nutritious. I love all the vegetables and flavors. I’ve never had bitter melon, at least not that I remember. I’ll have to seek that out.

Nice blog with yummy recipes. It’s my first time visiting, I’ll definitely be back.
