Hi, Sabado!

My sister is here for her birthday weekend. That's her hand in the photo. 

I prepared puff pastries filled with scrambled eggs and sausages this morning. Jay made our café latte.

We are going to paint the town red today. We will be spending money. 

Actually, we are hitting all of the thrift stores in town.

Hopefully, we will be able to find good stuff in the wild today. 

I baked 8 puff pastries and we inhaled all of them. We need the sustenance to whip the day up!

P.S. I couldn't find my pastry brush and couldn't find any substitute to brush the egg wash with on top, and that was why my pastries looked pale. 

The Weekend

The mister got a text message on Friday from our friend, Verner for an intimate Saturday dinner invitation at their house. So, I told the mister that we'll bring two trays of cassava cake. They always request me to bring this everytime we see each other.

Broiling for 2 more minutes and it's done. #cassavacake - 1tray for @extrafunky and 1 for me. 😆😅😃 #homebaking #homebaked #homebaker #pinoyfood #kakanin

Grilled fish (pompano), grilled squid, grilled pork belly, two varieties of Palabok (one had chicken and another had shrimp), cassava cake, coffee cake, cheese, and cured and smoked meat platter, coffee, red wine, and beer. All were instagrammable, even our water.




The following day we came back at the Abella's for more. Again!? Hahaha. So, basically we spent most of our weekend at their house. We had Saturday's left overs, and Rema's (Verner's wife) steamed rice Dimsum Style for dinner.



I didn't exactly know the reason for the gathering, so I asked my friend, Yengyeng on Friday evening.

She said, "Great weather!"

I disagree. It wasn't great. It was perfect.


P.S. Yes! We finished the two trays of cassava cake.
