Nilagang Baboy: Boiled Pork with Vegetables

It`s been sunny the past few days, temperature raised to 30C and today it starts raining. And one of the perfect dish to eat when its raining is nilagang baboy actually bulalo is another, sadly we can`t find beef bone marrow, however we found large chunk of pork bones in the market, so there goes our nilagang baboy story.

Last night, while I was quietly thinking on what to cook for today (and just as I have decided..) few minutes after, hubby suddenly blurted " I`ll guess what you`ll be cooking tomorrow", and I challengingly looked at him... then he said " nilagang baboy"., and again, his correct.. We really have that thing, perfectly guessing each other`s thoughts..maybe because we are one..oh too mushy..Hubby enjoyed his lunch, and kept on telling me that his been thinking about it the whole morning. Now Ill be thinking what to cook later...
