Everyone was home for dinner because classes were suspended due to the super typhoons. I decided to be a super mom so I prepared to cook their favorite dish, especially on rainy days, "my special tortang talong". Actually there's nothing special about it except that I am the one to cook it with some spice of love, whoo hoo.
So out from the refrigerator were tomatoes and eggplant (talong) and from the cabinet came the onions and the garlic. The eggplants were roasted over medium fire at the stove. Have to grill them for some time so that the skin can be taken out easily.
Torta or omelet needs some eggs to complete the ingredients. I just sauteed the garlic, onions and tomatoes, then added the lean ground pork. The peeled eggplants await until I was through with cooking the filling. The eggplant, the pork filling and the eggs . . . viola! We now have mom's special torta (omelet) ready for dinner with hot steaming rice. By the way, the omelet did not turn out perfect in shape and looks but it tasted great. My hubby dipped it in vinegar with garlic, my son preferred ketchup with it while my youngest son (bunsoy) ate it plain.
For dessert, we had WF - White Forest cake with yummy cherries on top and white chocolate shavings at the sides. I ensure there dessert is super, usually cake and ice cream, in case my cooking flops, heheh. To conclude, of course, mom gets to wash the dishes and the pans (see the soap bubbly photo).
