 JW> nightcap [for] chronic severe insomnia
 JW> That's much healthier and even more effective.
 
 GJ> I would suggest a small glass of port as a nightcap, rather than a
 GJ> while wine.  That works best for me.

 JW> I was expecting you to recomend a litre of red, a mug of port AND a
 JW> flask of rum. [g]

The small glass of port is to be served *after* the flask of rum and
litre of red.  That makes it a nightcap.

 JW> She has port, wine or spirits as the mood strikes her; they all work,
 JW> except vodka for some strange reason.

Perhaps that is a deep-seated fear from the days of the Cold War, when
in her youth she was frightened by the threat of an invasion of
Russian vodka drinkers.
 
 GJ> Getting towards the end of my Filipino recipes.

 JW> I am now well armed for my uncoming battle. I shall now go into
 JW> training.

And get a rice cooker.

 JW> Title: Wala Lang Pero

Something wrong there, as "pero" means "but".  More likely that it
would be "Wala Lang Pera", usually shortened to "Walang Pera", a
phrase I am very familiar with, meaning, "No money".

 JW> PROCEDURE-MASIPAG: Pound chx breast w/ a mallet slightly and slice

"Procedure-Industrious", ie difficult.

 JW> into large cubes. Marinade in all the ingredients except the last four
 JW> for 1 hour in the ref. Cut the washed pandan leaves in 4-6inches long
 JW> strips and make across. Place 1 pc of chx in the cross and fold over
 JW> the vertical strip then the horizontal strip together and secure w/ a
 JW> toothpick. If it wont hold use a padlock ) In a heavy frying pan heat
 JW> oil and deep fry the secured chx. until brown serve w/ a dash of
 JW> sesame oil and leeks. You have the option to prepare a plum sauce to
 JW> dip it in. This is available in some super marts where they sell exotic
 JW> spices. 

 JW> PROCEDURE-TAMAD: Boil pandan leaves in 1 and 1/2 cups of water until

"Procedure-lazy", ie easy.

 JW> leaves discolor. Set aside. Again marinade chx in all the ingredients
 JW> except the last four. Cut the pandan leaves diagonally as you would
 JW> the leeks. Saute the garlic until brown. Add the onions, pandan leaves,
 JW> labuyo, cumin, coriander and finally the chx. De glaze w/ rice wine
 JW> and stir fry until brown. Pour the boiled juices of pandan leaves and
 JW> thicken w/ dissolved cornstarch and baking soda. Sprinkle w/ sesame
 JW> oil, leeks and serve hot. This dish goes well w/ stir fried been
 JW> sprouts in sesame oil and sesame seeds.

I am not sure why that dish would have been given that title, as it is
not particularly low cost.

 Categories: Mains, Fish, Filipino, Asia-se
      Yield: 4 servings
 
     40 g  Tamarind powder; OR
    1/2 c  ; lime juice, OR
    1/2 c  ; lemon juice
      3    Garlic cloves; minced
      1 lg Onions; minced

  Whether beef, fish, or shellfish is the basis for this stew, sinigang
  is the classic dish of the Philippines. Sour fruit such as tamarind,
  calamansi [small Filipino lime] or kamias [sour fruit] lend a
  pleasingly tart flavour.
  
  Combine the tamarind powder with 2.5L water in a large pot. Bring to
  the boil over high heat.
  
  Meanwhile, saute the garlic, onions & tomatoes in the oil for 3 or 4
  minutes, or till onion is translucent. Add to the tamarind water.
  Fold in the whole radishes & simmer 3 minutes. Add the prawn, chilli,
  kangkong, soy & pepper to the mixture & simmer a further 5 or 6
  minutes, or till the fish is cooked & the kangkong is tender-crisp.
  Ladle into pre-warmed soup bowls & serve steaming hot.
