As the time for commemorating the Day of the Lord's Death approached, my siblings and I planned to return to our province for a brief vacation, aiming to make happy memories with our loved ones.
Upon our arrival at our house, we were greeted by the wide smiles of our parents. It dawned on me then that we seldom have the opportunity to be together due to our respective families and responsibilities that demand our attention. So I'm happy whenever I've visited my parents house occasionally, even if it's just for a short while.
Given our unexpected return, we assumed there wouldn't be much happening tomorrow for Good Friday, knowing that our parents aren't keen on cooking, especially since there are only three of them left at home, including our youngest sibling, who's still in senior high school.
When I woke up the other day, I was surprised when my mother asked me to buy ingredients at the market for the dishes we'd be preparing later. After breakfast, I promptly carried out her request.
I didn't linger long at the market either because I quickly found the items my mother asked me to buy, especially since there were many vendors selling ingredients at the market today, as it's one of the most popular dishes we cook for Good Friday. Thus, after making the purchases, I immediately headed home and found my siblings already preparing the other ingredients we would use later.

For those unfamiliar, "binignit" is a popular dessert among the Visayan people, typically enjoyed on Good Friday. This sweet dish is traditionally prepared using a variety of fruits, such as saba banana, jackfruit, sweet potatoes, and purple yam, along with sago pearls and glutinous rice, which are cooked in coconut milk.

Because of its irresistible taste, you won't feel the need to indulge in other dishes or desserts since it is truly satisfying. It's an ideal choice for Good Friday, a day when consuming meat is forbidden, as it fully satisfies hunger.
And with that, I conclude my blog for today.
