Christmas is in the Air.

As early as October I am already seeing a lot of Christmas decorations like lanterns, Christmas wreaths and Christmas strees in restaurants. While most malls are still decorating their stores with Halloween stuff, most restaurants are now eagerly awaiting Christmas. It is my most favorite time of year, and for this year I really want to try and cook something for my little family. We are always out of the house during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so I never had the chance to be obligated to cook, but this year I think I am ready and willing to try :)

Food Meetings with the In-Laws

Every time we would meet with the husband’s side of the family, we always indulge in yummy food and a few (alcoholic) drinks. See my need to compare diet pills and actually know if it works – given how much food we can eat every time we are together! My favorite dish would be the kaldereta, truly truly one of a kind!

Big Shrimp = Sugpo

Wouldn’t you want to have shrimp that big everyday for dinner? That is what we ate when we went to my sister-in-laws’ place last weekend. I love how they love to cook for us everytime we are there :) Notice how smooth my sister-in-law’s face is too? She doesn’t need acne skin care for sure!
