Even for just a short period, I'm loving your blog already.;-) Curacha also abound in the waters of my father's hometown of Barcelona (here in Sorsogon province, the locals call it "pawik", maybe because of its resemblance to a pawikan). Our friends here in Sorsogon City loved it when they tasted it during one of our get-togethers here at home.:-) I'm now one of your subscribers/followers. I don't cook regularly but would love to try one of your recipes when my hubby comes home (he's a seaman).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-45731087281094279512012-07-10T11:04:03.146+08:002012-07-10T11:04:03.146+08:00they actually sell the alavar sauce in that alavar...they actually sell the alavar sauce in that alavar restaurant, so i guess we can purchase and get to try with that dish :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-43301110537767549342010-06-01T21:48:41.201+08:002010-06-01T21:48:41.201+08:00Hi ChicaJo my search for curacha bgt me to your wo...Hi ChicaJo my search for curacha bgt me to your wonderful page.
