| | Do you still use primitive or folk utensils and things in your home? | | I can still remember the times when we used[i]banga[/i](clay jug) to store our drinking water, the[i]palayok[/i](clay pot) where we cook our food, and the[i]bao[/i] laddle for sauteing. We also had this charcoal[i]plantsa[/i] to iron our clothes,[i]palo-palo[/i](wood slab) to get the dirt in clothes, and the[i]baol[/i](old wooden storage) to keep our clothes and other important things. Our family still use them during the early 80's, but now not anymore except for the[i]palayok[/i] because we still use it for cooking[i]paksiw[/i] and[i]pinangat[/i]. I guess, some still use them because they're still available in the market. How about you, do you still have folk utensils and things in your home?[em]happy[/em]Have a nice day![em]rolleyes[/em] | |
