I always use black beans in my cooking. I would cook bitter gourd with some slices of pork and put in black beans. Though, to make my bitter gourd not that bitter, I soak it first (sliced already ) in a bowl with a tablespoon of salt .

Then after a few minutes I would pour out the water. Then, I put the bitter gourd last for just about a few minutes so it is crispy to bite.

But I haven’t tried putting black beans in chunks of chicken. I know this is a tasty recipe because of the black beans. I will give this recipe a try too.

I don’t know that black beans can be used for a chicken recipe. I use fish for that recipe; I add bitter gourd and some tomatoes into it. Thanks for posting this, I will try it.

I agree.

I was expecting to wake up one morning and hear how xyz bombs were dropped on N. Korea or how the nuclear plant was blown up. Nope. Moving on to discuss other topics. N. Korea has made stronger threats against the US than ISIS… yet… nothing.

Parrots are social because they are talkative hehehe,they want to imitate words they hear. And now they are influenced with camera,lols.I like parrots very cute and adorable.They do tricks, they are smart and adorable.

I like seeing parrots. Never tried to have them. I always see them flying freely in the surroundings. They are talkative. A trainer will be happy as it is very easy to train them. In India, we see some people carrying parrots in their boxes (cages). They call themselves parrot Astrologers. They earn some livelihood through parrots. There is a saying that not to feed or cage a parrot in single. Even if you want to cage them you do it along with another one. This is the nicest and safest way of dealing with parrots. They need company always. Don’t break it away from its companion and isolate a parrot.

I do really love parrots. One time my mother and I visited her long lost friend something that catch my attention was this colorful bird on the cage. It was a beautiful parrot as they were talking about something i was surprised when the parrot suddenly speak on its own. It says “PANGET” which means in english is “UGLY!” I was looking around to my surprised it was none other than the parrot uttering those words. So, what i did is that I answer back to the parrot saying, “PANGET KA RIN” in tagalog that she or he is “UGLY TOO” Then, I was laughing out loud. 😉

I do really love parrots. I still remember when I was a Front Desk Clerk in a certain hotel in our area, we have pets that we desk clerks are taking care of. We have a parrot named “beauty”, whenever she see a guard in uniform, she will always say “Pangit” which means ugly. She easily imitate some words that you say out loud then laugh loudly for several minutes. You will have to shout at it to stop but sometimes she will also shout back at you and then suddenly she will laugh again. She is so amazing and now that I’m not with the company anymore I miss her. We also have 16 love birds but they are just noisy and cute little fella not to mention the snakes that we have.

A well detailed recipe! Kudos !

I love potato cakes. But it never occurred to me to eat them with a sauce.
