On Tues 10th July 2018 Dumaguete Fire Station had a blessing for their brand new Fire Truck. Nice to see.

 

I missed the 4th of July festivities in the US, but at least the sky put on a good show for me.

 

As a frequent weekly visitor of this place I love to go there on my bike to enjoy the pleasant ride via San Antonio and then enjoy the relaxed staying in the hot spring for about 45 min. which seems more than enough in thermal water.

Before leaving home yesterday, I made a stop @a gasoline station to fill up full to make sure I could make it up and down. On my way back home the engine all the sudden did not react on the throttle and finally stopped. I had a look on my fuel meter and guess what.....empty. WTF some @ss hole drained my whole tank about 4 litres. Is not the money that is involved but running out of gasoline in the middle of nowhere is no fun. I was lucky I choose the San Antonio road which is almost downhill all the way to the highway. Just the last few hundred meters I had to walk. But still no gasonline as the nearest station is Caltex next to the municipality hall of Sibulan. Have to make some arrangements with someone to get gasoline in a jerrycan and going back to my motorbike where I left it (was still there). put the gasoline in the tank and, engine did not start. It turns out that the gasoline hose was disconnected so that no fuel could get into the carburettor. I was unable to fix it so finally we tow the motorbike home and called for a mechanic.
Next week I will go to Red Rock hot spring again and inform the owners or the people running that place to take remedial action.

 

I'd like to do a shout out to Wrye83 (Dustin) for achieving over 10,000 positive ratings. I'm struggling to get to 500. I doubt this feat will ever be duplicated. While not everyone will agree with his viewpoints, he has worked tirelessly to improve the forum, shared his valuable experiences and helped where he can.

Cheers to you!!

 

Had lunch at Katz's yesterday. Great menu. We had the grilled chicken burger, lettuce, tomato, onion, whatever condiments you want to add. Served with very good potato salad. Will go back and try the pepper cheese burger next. Big open environment with plenty of tables.

actually, i was making LAB ( Lactobacillus Serum ). the last step in the procedure is separating the curds and whey and i played around with the curd a bit and it turned out great! kinda like a blue cheese but not blue, a nice addition to a garden salad, especially with a dash of Braggs amino acids...

also, we made a nice sour cream like cheese the last time we made LAB. same procedure, same ingredients but musta been different airborne bacteria. both cheeses good stuff!!!

here's our recipe ingredients using powered milk:
360ml rice wash
3 liters water
1 pkg. - 330g Nestle Bear Brand (powdered milk)

- rinse the curd a couple of times to get most of the LAB serum out of it.
- then transfer it to a mesh bag and gently squeeze the liquid out of it.
- then add a bit of salt.
