Philippines is sitting astride the typhoon belt, most of the islands experience annual torrential rains and thunderstorms from July to October, with nineteen typhoons entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in a typical year and eight or nine making landfall.

Today is one of those stormy days. It's a sad and happy day for me, sad because I know a lot of my "kababayans" would suffer from this adverse weather condition. Somehow I feel happy because it's my chance to relax and enjoy the day without stressing myself from school works and noisy pupils :). Though I feel guilty for feeling this way too, I just can't help it.
Being alone in a stormy weather and resting the whole day won't be complete without a food :).. so I dig my food cabinet and found this: a can of sausage and corned beef and a packed of spaghetti noodles. What else should I prepare?? I just need an spaghetti sauce, spices/herbs and presto!
Downstairs my landlady has a "Sari-Sari Store" (variety store). Wishing myself lucky, I got what I need SPAGHETTI SAUCE. I just followed a simple procedure from http://www.kitchenomics.com/ and here it is!
