Hello everyone Hope you are all having an awesome Saturday
I am taking a super quick break right now it's almost 2 PM, and I swear I haven't stopped moving since the break of dawn. Why the rush? Well, tomorrow is my only son's birthday even though he's away working out of the country right now (miss you, my hijo), we always celebrate here in the Philippines for him, because family traditions must go on, right?
huh one is on her cellphone not helping
I went to the market this morning and bought sone ingredients Preparing for a big family occasion always takes a lot of effort, especially because I have unofficially been crowned "The Clan's Cook" hahaha If someone needs a last-minute hustle to pull off a feast, they always know to call me. While sometimes at my age and stage in life, I could simply not give in to every cooking request, this one is extra special because it’s for my son. My heart is in it
Today is all about prep We are making pasta, some savory Pinoy meat dishes, and of course, some healthy veggies on the side. I am totally cooking "on the fly" though, so don't ask me for exact recipes yet, haha It's all just instinct and taste testing
I did enlist some minor help, thank goodness my daughter and niece are on menial tasks, like skinning onions and chopping all the veggies . That frees me up to do all the real cooking
And guess where the party will be? At our parents' old house. It has totally become the ancestral house now it's the only place big enough (and with the right kitchen feel) for our celebrations.
Seeing everyone together, prepping and chatting, is already making this weekend fun and full of love. I have to get back to the kitchen now before I burn something Wish me luck
could not take proper photos as this is really quick and done on a short break and the house is a mess ATM
