Simple Anniversary Celebration - P365 # 227

We invited Dad over for our anniversary and I am grateful that he came. He ate dinner with us. I only made a lasagna and chicken wings.  

Hubby bought a cake.

Then after dinner, we spent the rest of the day over at my FIL just chillaxing.

We were suppose to go somewhere but there are people working on our porch construction so we decided to just celebrate it at home.

Celebrating special milestones, doesn't need extravagant  gifts, what is important is the family and the love that you have for EACH other.

August 17, 2011:

• I went to bed past two am last night so I got up a little late too (9 almost), whew.
• Hubby made some pancakes, bacon, and egg for breakfast.  Thanks Hon!

Thank you so much for dropping by!

E is for Eggplant - P365 # 226

A filipina friend gave me three eggplant seedlings. I planted it in my vegetable garden and I enjoy harvesting the fruit.

I made some eggplant fritata for breakfast a couple of weeks ago and   everyone liked it.

Hubby liked the one where I switched from using bacon bits to a chopped up pepperoni.

Ingredients you need depends on  how you like it, I use tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, scallions, and some  spices.  You just mix the ingredients into two beaten eggs and then  dip the boiled, skinned, and mashed eggplant in it and fry it.  It's yummy!

August 16, 2011:

• The construction team are now laying  the blocks for the foundation of the  porch.  I am getting excited for the outcome of this project.  The rain slows them down though.
• Hubby and the kids walked down at the post office  to mail  a bill and pick up  a package that wasn't delivered yesterday.
• I am thinking of making pork  sinigang or nilaga today.

Chocolate Chunk Cookie Cake - P365 # 183

We attended a pre-4th of July celebration over at my BIL's home in Chester, WV. We had a blast swimming in the pool.  I wasn't in the mood to cook anything to bring at the party so we just bought this Chocolate Chunk Cookie Cake with Icing  from Walmart.

My niece-in-law brought a cake with similar  design.  She bought it from Kroger's.

July 4, 2011:

• We just got back from my FIL's house.  Jen made  us some dinner, thanks Jen for the  sumptuous foods.
• We went to Busy Beaver earlier and bought some plunging stuff, hubby need to fix something in the bathroom.  While we were there, I grabbed me some bird's food and a planter.  We also  dropped by at Dollar Tree to get the kids some crafts supply.
• We are going to watch fire work later so this is just a quick update.

Happy 4th of July everyone.  Those YummY

Sparkling White Grape Juice - P365 # 163

My niece in law, Jen brought a bottle of sparkling white grape juice during my birthday over at Dad's.   I tried it and my verdict is...it was a little sour but sweet.  Occasions like this makes you  take  out the  Wine Glasses and just have fun.

June 14, 2011:

• I slept until 8 am today weeee.  It's nice to be able to sleep in.
• The mailman came early today (9:30) and handed me  a package from the Philippines.  Thanks for the birthday presents Ate Chay.  Love the laing, I would definitely cook some today.
• I plan to do some gardening again today, I have so many plants in front of our house to transfer at the back.

Recycling - P365 # 135

My FIL is growing some lettuce and used the empty vac  base to put the soil.  Notice the crown royal stand? Dad doesn't throw stuff, he RECYCLES  them.  See he uses the stand to  hold up the  screen from  flying off.

In few more days, these will be ready for transplanting.  Do you recycle too?

May 17, 2011:

• I am doing laundry today.  
• Hubby is killing himself with his rigorous work out hehehe.  He is determined to lose weight.  Go go go hon!
• I will do my share of work out when Lady in Red is done.
• Meanwhile I am contemplating if I will order a photo poster of my daughter's favorite star to put in her bedroom or not.

Have a good day everyone.  Thanks for leaving your thoughts and spicing up my blog.

Mango - P365 # 102

Mango is one of the most abundant fruit in a tropical country like Philippines. I was lucky when I was conceiving with my first child because I was still in my country and Mango is one of the fruits I ate a lot.  No wonder my daughter love this fruit very much.  

April 12, 2011:

• It is cold and raining here at our end.  I am glad that I was able to finish  my vegetable garden yesterday.  My body is so sore right now but it was worth it.
• Ms. Burrito did not go to school today.  We brought her to the doctor due to her pink eye.  It's looking well now compared yesterday when she arrived from school.  My daughter seldom got sick  with her 4 years of existence but she started going to school, that's when it started arrrghh..
• We dropped by at my FIL after the the doctor.  Hubby talked to his brother on the phone and found out that the Mass he has  from his lung is indeed a cancer.  It is the same as what my MIL got  that took her life.  Please include my BIL in your prayer.  We don't want to tell my FIL about it because we don't want him to worry and get sick too.
• We have fried chicken and vegetable salad for  dinner today.
• I am on my last load  of the laundry.  Hubby started this morning and I am now finishing it.
• Hopefully I could bloghop tonight after the kids goes to bed.  Thanks everyone for your visit and comments.
