Sagada in Food

Last January, I went to Sagada with several of my friends. Travel was a pain in the butt, literally! To get to Sagada, we had to ride a bus to Baguio (which took almost 6 hours from Quezon City) and from there, we had to take a bus again to reach Sagada. The bus ride to Sagada took another 6 hours and was quite dizzying as the road was almost always a zigzag.

When we reached Sagada, however, all the trouble of getting there was worth it. It is a beautiful place with very hospitable people. Except for a guide who tried to rip us off with sky-high tour prices (we went with a different guide, don't worry), everything went well.

Pasta Chorizo Aglio Olio

A few days ago, a friend of his gave my dad some Spanish Chorizo. From the moment I laid eyes on it, I knew it was destined to be with loads of garlic and pasta. And when my mom tasked me to do the groceries, I knew it was kismet.


So I bought some linguine, cheese and parsley (I already had olive oil and garlic on hand). I also went to the Bread aisle and bought some Pesto Rolls (It was already 5 PM and I didn't have time to make bread from scratch in time for dinner. LOL). I got McRAF Whole Wheat Pesto Rolls and my sister Esther toasted them for a few minutes on a sandwich maker. They're amazing!
