DINNERS @ H.O.M.E.

Don’t we just love having dinners at home especially for an intimate group of 6 – 10?  Creativity in table setting and menu planning comes out.  Menu planning becomes more elaborate with “pricier” food items to serve as party is small ♥ And of course, conversation is more animated, sincere and heard..hahaha!

Valentine’s, New Year’s Eve, Christmas, pet’s birthday, 35 point game, you get hugged & kissed for no apparent reason… any occasion one can think of.  Best to celebrate with dinner @ h.o.m.e. ! No worries about table reservations, parking, drinks, crappy service and tips =)

Throw caution to the wind when planning & creating intimate dinners that will last a lifetime in ones memory bank.

Serve your FF’s (fave foods)..smoked salmon, prawns, steak, foie gras, raclette, risotto, etc. and douse with wine…loads of wine =)

Preparing a meal for loved ones whether it be  single or multi-course, on paper plate or fine china, on a folding or fancy table, is a testament of affection and of the saying….actions speak louder than words.  N ‘est ce pas?

TURNING JAPANESE

Friday. No meat day during lent.  Last day of a 6 month traumatic journey. First day of true happiness and peace.  What to do?  Prepare home-made Japanese food!

All sliced, rolled and prepared at home: 4 types of sushi, fresh maguro sashimi, the sweetest uni from a trusted Japanese supplier. Heaven!

Proud to say these taste like the ones found in leading restaurants: Spicy Tuna Salad complete with the crunch AND Kani corn salad with the yummiest roasted sesame dressing. All wiped out in a jiffy =)

Grill it good! Terriyaki-flavored shrimps and dory,grilled table-top. Perfect with home made Japanese fried rice using mushrooms instead of ground beef. Heaven at home!

The beauteous result of time, inspiration and happiness.  Heaven at home indeed!

An Early Christmas Celebration

Many are now convinced that having an early Christmas celebration is one of the best ways to get family members together especially if it means gathering a diverse group of individuals with haywire schedules to match.

December 10 was the date of choice.  Early date, traffic still manageable and the eve of Dad’s birthday.

Home was prepared for 20+ people

Calorific, Cholesterolific & Triglicerific pot-luck food....lechon, shrimps, crabs, Pampanga calderata & sisg, pancit Lukban, red beet potato salad, dinuguan, sinful desserts, etc.

A perfect formula is  always a comfortable venue, glorious food and loving family.  Believe moi, nothing beats that.

I love this crazy, wacky, clumsy, psychy, rowdy Albert family.  Warts, farts and all.
