    Mmmm. I’ve only recently discovered or affirmed my love for anything ginisa because it appeals to my weird attraction to thunderstorms and cyclones. I loved sipping coffee beside the glass wall of the condo I used to rent in the middle of a thunderstorm. I don’t get to do that lately anymore. Ginisa for me is like that. There are stirring, combining stuff. It’s a beautiful chaos. And it’s a good excuse to get lots of onions, garlic and tomatoes in my mouth.
