The Dirty Kitchen

Every Filipino knows what a "Dirty Kitchen" (note: not an andjective) is.

The "Dirty Kitchen" is where we cook the old fashion way using tinigbas na kahoy (chopped wood) or uling (charcoal?), and if you look at it, it really looks dirty..... but just like the old folks always say "Mas lami gud kanunay ang luto basta kahoy". (english: food always tastes better when it's cooked with wood).

Yes, and it's cheaper too. :)

It' really good to know that there are still a lot of Kagay-anons with dirty kitchens in their homes to remind us of the old ways. And, I guess it's not the wood that makes the food taste better... it's the memories that it brings.
