(Sale) Pre-Christmas Soap Sale 2019



Has it already been two years since we posted on this blog?

The shop has grown (or grown more complicated to run, ha ha). We have resisted most avenues of growth as we still want to keep our sanity and joy in what we do. Since two years ago, many other shops have come up with the zero- or less-waste ethos, and that's been great for everyone! Needless to say, it has us feeling a bit relaxed about that advocacy, making room for younger and more energetic people. We find our interests gearing towards actually creative regenerative agricultural practices in our own lives (i.e. eventually leaving Manila).

Anyway, checking in to tell you (if there is anyone still reading this) that we are having the soap sale again this year. You know the drill! Email us at sales (sa) ritual (tuldok) ph.

(Ideas) Adlai Champorado


Adlai is the new "it" grain in the Philippines. Never thought we'd be munching on another local grain ("Are there even any?" is a question we get a lot from customers) in a country where people only ever eat rice (and in some areas, corn) as their staple food.

It's gluten-free, vaguely rice-like, and (mostly) sustainably grown. Dieters and avocado-and-egg-grain-bowl-eaters are hoarding it. Restaurants are serving it up in hearty bowls of "risotto" and fancied up tiny porridges.

You can have it in countless ways, but now that rainy season has made mush of our brains and turned us into little children again, we can think of nothing but "You can champorado that!".

So boil up your champorado like you usually do (or like this or this or this), keeping in mind that the adlai needs either a bit more of a soak or longer boiling. It will never become truly soft and mushy.

Enjoy!
