american's can cook, also

I've got something to blog about for this week. Yesterday we made fish tacos, and they were good.
On the right is the homemade tortillas. We used flour, baking powder, salt and maybe too much water. To fix that we found some oat bran in the fridge and it really helped and they tasted great. I was in charge of flipping them!
In the middle is the amazing salsa! Saturday is market day and we bought all the ingredients fresh and in Waray. It had mango, pineapple, tomato, scallion, steamed corn (bought fresh, they steam it and sell it at the market or on the beach), lemonsitas (look like tiny limes, have orange flesh, and are mostly lemon in flavor) and harong peppers (which are hot, this salsa had kick and it was really the first kick we've had here). I sliced and diced, but it was not my recipe.
To the left is the fish. Lauren had never gutted a fish, so we let her do the honors. It is milk fish which is the regional fish for Leyte and Samar. We kind of saute/steamed it with more scallions and garlic.
The meal was amazing and probably didn't even cost 4 dollars to make.
Marasa!
