The Food Diary Game | Season 4 | 12/07/2021 - #sfcharity50pc (#club5050) | Grilled Octopus, Fish and Pork for the Day

Greetings SteemFoods Community!

I have finally decided to post my Food Diary Game Entry for Season 4 right after I joined #club5050. This is my first ever participation in the community since I just recently started my journey on Steemit. For today, I will be sharing the grilled foods I cooked at home. I have been a stay-at-home mother since the pandemic started, so I usually do the cooking and everyday I try to come up with something different.

In the Morning

I woke up earlier than usual to prepare for today’s breakfast. I asked my kids the night before for their specific food request for this day, since I have promised to reward them for a good academic performance in school. Both of them had a long thought about it and said in unison that they missed grilled food. So I committed myself to cooking grilled food the whole day.

For our breakfast, we had a very special grilled pork.

Preparation Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

The ingredients are as follow:

Ingredients	Quantity
Pork chops	4 pieces
Calamansi	3 pieces
Soy sauce	1/2 cup
Crushed garlic	4 cloves
Salt	1/2 teaspoon
Ground black pepper	1/2 teaspoon
Cayenne powder	1/2 teaspoon
Sugar	1/2 teaspoon

I cut the pork chops into small slices as preferred. For the pork marinade, I mixed the citrus juice, garlic, ground black pepper, cayenne, and soy sauce in a bowl. Then I added the pork slices. I waited for an hour to marinate the pork. While waiting, I prepared the sauce or sawsawan.

At noon

At noon, I decided to prepare something different. So I went to the market to buy foods that I can grill for lunch and dinner. Then I went home. I prepared tenderized octopus, char-grilled with a squeeze of fresh lemon. As you can see, it looks delicious and it is indeed tasty according to my daughters.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Servings: 4

Ingredients	Quantity
Octopus, head removed	2 1/2 pounds
Extra virgin olive oil	2 tablespoons
Lemon	1 piece
Salt	1 pinch
Ground black pepper	1/2 teaspoon

Towards the evening

At night, we had grilled fish. My daughters are not much of a fish lover but every time I make this recipe, they very much enjoy it.

Preparation Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 20 minutes

First, I combined garlic, olive oil, lemon, juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Then placed the bangus fish in separate plate, and pour the marinade over the fish. Wait for 1 hour for the marinating process. Since our griller is not functioning properly, I decided to make the traditional outdoor grill.

I removed the fish from the marinade and drained off the excess. Next I proceed to grill the fish 10 minutes per side or until it is done.

Here is my grilled fish for our dinner. This was a very successful day for me. I managed to grill different foods for three different set of meals. I am so proud of this. Thank you so much for dropping by.

See you in my next Food Diary Game entry!
