Happy New Year!

I have finally found a baklava that I liked... :P
Every time we go home to hubby's place we always pass by this restaurant (Manos Greek Taverna in Tagaytay). It seems to have been there for ages and so we decided to have dinner there last Dec.26th, after attending Holy Mass. The restaurant is not that big and good thing it wasn't as full either...service was fine and here are some of the food that we ordered:
So sorry, forgot some of the names...had to call them by their generic names. ;P
Appetizers: Greek Salad and something that resembles fried lumpia except that it had spinach and feta cheese inside ( think it was called Panokopita)...
Main Course: grilled pork (i think it was named Souvlaki), grilled pork chops, moussaka (dish that resembles lasagna but had eggplants), grilled tilapia, and spaghetti (though of course it was named differently because it was mixed with beef and other spices...lol)
...and lastly, we just had to have their baklava and Greek coffee...!!
We paid around Php2,000 for the meal (five adults and two kids). Honestly, I think it was pretty expensive (am stingy like that, lol) but since we all enjoyed the meal, then I guess it was well worth it. Would we go back there again? Yes, we would. I would love to try their yoghurt shake real soon... :)

ps.THANK YOU so much for a wonderful year! Hoping and praying that everyone will have a great 2011! Stay safe, healthy, and blessed, everyone! :)

ps. should have done this EONS ago: adding a backlink to those who played as my way of saying thanks for linking back. :)

*I don't think my other blog will be 'operational' real soon...and I don't think I have the time to make another blog, so Food Friday is here to stay. For now. I think. Many many thanks to those who have kept on playing! :)

Last Christmas... :P

This was one of the things that i got...so loving it! :)


We've been 'playing' with it and so far we're loving the results; sure, it had it's 'limitations' but for that price (just under Php5T) it was definitely worth it! ;)

Spending...

Most people celebrate Christmas, and for some it means good food shared with great friends. The amount and type of food that you want to share is a personal thing, and most of the time it means that you need to spend more than the usual. Some might even avail of the payday loans, or maybe stretch their credit limits a bit. But whatever the decision, responsibility must not be far behind...

As for us, nothing overly dramatic. We spent Christmas day at hubby's place, while our New Year's Eve we plan to spend it here at home... :)

Merry...

I know, most (if not all) of us are familiar with this Christmas dessert/tradition... the FRUITCAKE. But not everybody likes it. I must admit, I don't like most of the fruitcakes being made out there (bland, dry, and too many candied fruits)..but this one I loved (yup, in the past tense, since we ate it all up a few weeks ago). Know why? Because it had more nuts and raisins than candied fruits, plus I can definitely taste that brandy in every bite... :)

What amazed me even more was that it was still moist and delicious even after being stored inside the refrigerator for more than a year...! We got this last year from my sister, who bought that from a religious congregation somewhere in Fairview (Quezon City, Philippines). Sorry, couldn't remember the name, and it was given to us simply gift-wrapped; no address/name of the congregation included.

A Blessed and Happy Christmas to all!

ps. posting half a day earlier than the usual...

Hubby and I tried this last night ... from one of those gift baskets.

It was too sweet for us...almost like soft drink. ;)

Christmas shopping...

Christmas is coming...!!! Are you done with your Christmas shopping yet? If not, and if you have the means to buy online, then why not try shopping online? Personally, I would love to stay away from the department stores right now...the last time we went there (and it was two weeks ago!) it was so chaotic! I don't think I'm brave enough to face a similar crowd again. The sad thing is, I still haven't gotten anything for my mom, and so I tried writing this phase on a search engine: mom jewelry red envelope. Guess what came out? Lots of elegant (and affordable) jewelries for mom! So sweet!

Hmmm...I wonder what I'd get for my dad...?
