Let me count the ways …
Lady (at left): Has anyone ever died of eating too much chicharon?
Lady (at right): Death by chicharon? That sounds like a funny but horrible movie.
Guy: I can sit here all day and just look at these yummy photos.
Lady: And you wonder why your a** keeps getting bigger?
Lady in front: Come on, hurry, take that darn photo! I won’t be caught dead taking a photo of pork!

Dieting 102: Let the Crave Pass by Solving Puzzles
Dieting 103: You Can Eat Only After You Solve the Puzzle
Behold the magic of online photo editors. Even if you have 0.005 Photoshop skills, you can still make incredible-looking images.

Notes: Dumpr allows Photoshop-challenged people like me to jazz up common photos without spending hours on the task. The site is for free although some effects are only accessible to paying members. The free effects are cool enough, and you have more than a handful effects to choose from. Dumpr is also very user friendly. Even kids can use this site and create masterpieces out of candy wrappers if they wish to.

Hi Han, musta naka? Naa man daw chicharones diha sa U.S. ingon to si Ai-Ai but maybe not in your state kay sa mga Mexicans man daw na. Anyways, yeah wa gyud tawn nako gipalampas ang soft ice cream sa Barili hehe but wa ko katilaw anang strawberry flavor. Mixed man to akong paliton, mango with ube man yata to, or whatever is available but dali ra gyud siya malanay! klaro kaayo na fresh gyud ang ingredients ba hehe

bitaw lami kaayo ang chicharon… chicharon chicharon chicharon… lami man sad ang flavored nga chicharon… medyo mahal mahal lang sad ang chicharon sa chicharitos…
(shel sharo d gihapon ni ma pick-up sa “u know what haha”)
ang chicharon kay gikan ba gyud na sa Cebu? As in like apil gyud na cya sa matawag nga Cebu delicacies?
November 21st, 2008 at 8:54 am
@Fedge – haha mao gyud, pamugasay na gyud ni hehe.
I don’t think chicharon kay uniquely Cebuano but the ones from Carcar are very popular so I guess maka-think ang uban that it’s from Cebu and that it is a Cebuano delicacy. As for its origins, I think this is Spanish.

Chicharon from Carcar Cebu is I think considered “the best” for most people. Most people coming from the south will definitely stop over at Carcar Cebu just to buy the heart-attack-inducing Chicharon and also the Ampao for pasalubong.
