Lasang Pinoy 17:EGG'S A DEAL! is ON

After a short hiatus Lasang Pinoy is  back.

To celebrate its "resurrection", we decided to relaunch  within the week after Easter Sunday. After a series of false starts and consultations with the Lasang Pinoy peeps ,it was decided that the  secret ingredient for the 17th edition is... ta..ra... ra ...... The EGG.

The egg in various cultures symbolizes fertility and rebirth.From a Philippine context, the egg is very much part of culture and history. First thing that comes to mind is The Balut . It  is something we always claim as our own.It specifies us from other cultures ,though not exclusively. Vietnam has it similar delicacy called Vit Lon. More than that ,the fertilized duck's egg is also an eaten object of bravado, virility and Pinoy machismo. Because it takes a certain amount of guts to eat, we love to taunt our foreign friends' comfort zones by challenging them to feast on boiled "aborted" duck's embryo. Balut is often eaten after dark with beer. The Pinoy "barako" who consumes it is said  to acquire certain powers when doing a most pleasurable ritual, legit or not, in a darkened four-cornered room. This,even if  the V pill came with the same claims.

In the country side, unwary of  a Salmonella  contamination, mothers would stir in fresh free range chicken eggs in a glass of newly harvested tuba(coconut toddy). The mixture is left overnight outdoors to be exposed to the elements.It is offered to the children in the morning for good health. The tonic is  also believed to make children grow faster and taller.

For the Roman Catholic faithful, eggs are offerings often channeled through Sta.Clara or the Carmelite nuns in return for specific divine interventions.Incidentally, chicken egg whites were used to bind the limestones that were used to build the massive and beautiful churches and cathedrals--monuments of colonization and conversion-- dotting the  tropical archipelago.Because of the amazing volume of egg whites used in these grandiose ecclesiastical projects,there was always an oversupply of egg yolks. Not to worry. The yolks were put to good use in the kitchen by the industrious women of the house. Thus, the sinful leche flan was born together with more indigenized and original culinary creations. In Iloilo, the Panaderia de Molo , situated a stone's throw away from the Molo Church , has created an array of egg-based pastries with Spanish names and some local ones such as Kinamunsil- a biscuit that looks like the kamunsil fruit shaped like a ring.Obviously, the bakery was a beneficiary of  a lot of egg yolks coming form the church's contruction site.

Surely there are many more of these  traditional egg recipes that are spread  across the regions.We want to know and discover  them through you ,dear foodie. Yes, even the ones that have evolved into contemporary gourmet treats.Fusion cuisine you may want to call them.Whatever they are called, we are excited to learn about them.

Ray Ban glasses always appear to be in the spotlight. Whether receiving awards of nominations, it’s not often we don’t see ray ban in the news. At times we wonder whether brands such as Ray Ban glasses will continue their dominance. This article is on upcoming competitors. It seems like individuals and the media can’t stop discussing upcoming Ray Ban glasses collections. Last week two respected companies agreed to partner to brand the famous brands Hickey Freeman and Monarchy. The partnership allows the company the chance to make the brands’ frames collections worldwide.

Also, more reporters can’t seem to stop talking about these Ray Ban glasses rivals. To end the article regarding Ray Ban glasses rival updates, Marchon Eyewear agreed to collaborate with a strong replacement lenses brand. Marchon has been a rival of Ray Ban glasses for many years. This collection has received a great amount of hype. The glasses seem to be revered for their apparently great fit. The collection looks beautiful. You will be able to find these Ray Ban glasses rival lenses at select stores, certain retailers and top eyewear shops worldwide.



To end the article, last month Marcolin Group and Diesel, two well regarded designer eyeglasses companies agreed to work with one another for the next few years. The first Ray Ban glasses rival collection is scheduled for fall of the upcoming year. The glasses will be available at select optical outlets, Diesel stores, and large retailers. Stay tuned for more updates on Ray Ban glasses.
