TitoDan

Many thanks for the comments/suggestions. Seems we had two heavy reasons she was denied: She fits the profile for a possible overstayer in US, and we were poorly prepared. If we do it again, we will plead a heavier case, especially the 'ties to ... Read More

Filipino attempts at American food by TitoDan

I'm a very non-picky person when it comes to food. I was raised on home cooking, meat and potatoes kinds of food, simply prepared with simple ingredients. I've given it several tries, and am giving up on local attempts at American ...

Thanks to all for the many comments. I bought some spaghetti and a jar of Ragu a couple of days ago, intending to cook my own, but haven't tested any hamburger meat yet. The only "ground beef" I've seen here in Dgte seems to be made ... Read More
