The farm is beautiful, clean, organized, and well kept. They definitely take pride in their farm. They had tons of vegetables and fruits to pick from – sili (peppers) , talong (eggplant), watermelon, squash, corn, tomatoes, string bean, and so on. Then I saw it and I could not believe it! They grow Bittermelon! I could not imagine an American farm having Ampalaya—I was in heaven!!!! I was hesitant if they would they would let me pick the Ampalaya leaves, but my hubby said go ahead – all they can do is tell you not to do it next time. So I did and they didnt even care. I got my Ampalya and my Ampayla leaves! Masarap sa ginisang munggo, oh di ba!!!!

What a bounty from the farm! If you are in Cranbury NJ, I suggest you stop by Stults Farm. Oh, all this has me thinking about the Asian Pear farm our friends brought us to last fall. I can’t wait for that!

Basta Masarap!

The other day my husband made a scrambled egg for my son, but since we didn’t have enough eggs, he added a liitle bit of water to it. When my son tasted it the first thing he asked his dad was, “dad did you add water on the eggs?”  My husband was so amazed as he knew that our son did not see him add the water.

Even with my food, he is fast to pick up changes in my recipes.  I like to experiment and he always catches the change.  Even with the first bite he will make a comment that something is different. He can then proceed to tell you what ingrediants are changed or added – scary!

And my son can cook too.  He is better on the grill than what I have seen in most restaurants. He always gets the temperature of the meat just right to order.  Let me tell you, if you want a good marinade for a steak, ask my son and he’ll even cook it for you with the right temperature.
