Kadyos, baboy, langka –
rolls off the tongue like a prayer.
Most of mother’s recipes start with
a few cloves of garlic and the onions
I have learned to cut without shedding
a tear, all strewn into a hot pan with oil.
But kadyos, baboy, langka asks
for ingredients to be dropped into
boiling water in specific succession,
almost like a ritual– a small offering.
I’ve always wondered why you
never learned how to cook,
and why you never say grace
before every meal.
Perhaps you don’t have
the patience, or the faith,
to leave pork to simmer
for half an hour before
adding kadyos and then
langka and batwan last
– you’ve never really been
one to appreciate what’s
served right in front of you. (maverhick.blogspot.com/PN)
