Marianna's First Trick or Treat

Last Saturday, we went to Sm north edsa for Marianna's first trick or treat. After lunch na kami nakapunta at siniguro namin na ok na panahon.

Kuha namin ni Marianna sa harap ng Toy Kingdom.

Dun na din kami bumili ng pumpkin na lalagyan nya ng candies.

She dressed up as a fairy. Set yang outfit na yan nung binili ni mark with skirt, wand, wings tska headband. Yung wings tska wand lang nagamit nya kasi ayaw nya suot yung headband tapos di ko na din pinasuot yung skirt at di naman kagandahan.

Silang mag daddy sa may stage sa baba ng the Block. May activities mga bata pero di na kami nakisali. Nag picture picture na lang kami.

Kuha namin sa Face shop. Ako ang nanghihingi ng candy at nag sasabi ng "trick or treat". Nag iikot lang kami para mag pa picure, he he.

Yan yung last picture namin na hawak nya yung wand nya. Nabitawan nya kasi at di ko naman napansin na nalaglag na pala. hay ....

Yan ang laman ng lalagyan nya. Konting candy, lapis tska sabon. Yaan mo anak, next year, cacarerin na natin yan talaga. Pati si mommy mag cocostume para panalo, he he. Di bale, nag enjoy naman kami at natuwa naman si Marianna kasi nga madaming bata. Next year for sure mas matutuwa sya at kasama na sya sa mga tatakbong mga bata.

Chicken Adobo Flakes

I often make this for Mark since he loves to eat adobo flakes for breakfast and I find the store bought ones a little expensive considering its quite easy to prepare

Ingredients:

One whole chicken breast (bone in)

One half bottle of adobo marinade ( i often use silver swan - Php 15 per small bottle)

3 pcs laurel leaves

a few peppercorns

one cup water

Procedure:

Mix marinade, laurel leaves, pepper corns and water.

Boil in chicken with mixture in low heat for at least one hour or until chicken is very tender and meat is separating from the bones.

Drain chicken from the sauce. Reserve sauce for later use.

When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from the bone and flake meat into desired thickness.

Put chicken flakes back to reserved sauce and continue cooking until sauce evaporates completely.

Place mixture in a container and freeze overnight.

Fry flakes in cooking oil until desired crispness is achieved.

Serve with salted egg and tomatoes on the side if desired.

Big Better Burger VS Hot Shots

Big Better Burger (BBB)









Versus




Hot Shots









Mark and I often eat out at Burger Joints when we go out. Gusto daw nya protein para pang build ng muscles. he he. Here's what we ordered at Big Better Burger (BBB) and Hot Shots.
Magkaibang araw yun ha? at medyo matagal na din pero ngayon ko lang naichika sa inyo.

Mark's Meal:


BBB - Jalapeño Burger (approx php 160.00)

verdict: masarap daw sabi ni mark. juicy yung burger nila at sulit na din. separate yung potato wages (approx php 50.00) pati yung cheese dip bukod bayad (approx php 25)


Hot Shots - Cheese Burger (approx php 130.00)

verdict: di nagustuhan ni mark. parang lasang luma daw yung cheese. may kasama namang potato chips on the side. medyo oily nga lang.








My Meal:


BBB - Fish Fillet (approx Php 160.00)

verdict: nagustuhan ko sya. crispy yung patty at juicy naman yung fish. i ordered tartar sauce on the side. yun kasi bagay pag fish fillet sandwich.


HOT SHOTS : Fishermans meal (di pa nga ko sure kung eto nga exact na tawag sa inorder ko, he he- approx Php 160.00)

verdict: fish sandwich din inorder ko kasi nga bihira ako kumain ng beef. suprisingly ok sya sa kin kahit may wasabe. masarap nung mga unang kagat pa lang. pero habang tumatagal, parang may kakaibang after taste na din sya kaya di ko din naubos.


Overall verdict namin mag asawa? Babalik ulit kami sa BBB at sa Hot Shots, malamang hindi na. he he.

Here he is. Pointing at the Pyramid as if he's a giant.

Enjoying at his camel ride as he tours around the pyramids.
There are 9 pyramids all in there according to him.
