Weekend Getaway

Spent my weekend with the barkada at my friend’s house in Tagaytay. It was a much deserved trip since everyone was “intoxicated” with stress from work, family life.

Picked Shawie up at Medical City and proceeded to Makati to meet up with Anj. We had our dinner at Dencio’s Paseo Center while waiting for our “designated driver”, Leanne. Bought our booze then Tagaytay. Traffic was unbelievable at slex…buti pa sa north =(

Arrived 1130pm. Did not want to waste our time so we started our drinking session right away. Haaay sarap! Everything was perfect…company, the climate. Nonstop chikahan…reminiscing…updating…SAYA! Finished at 3am. One bottle lang of tequila rose.

Woke up at 1130am. Longest sleep I ever had since…I don’t know. Tagal na talaga since I had this sleep. 3pm, had our lunch at Hawaiian Barbeque. Cozy place, good food.

Bought some pasalubong: pineapple, señorita, goodies from Rowena’s. Tapos off to Manila na. Ayun, natraffic na naman kami (Sta. Rosa and SLEX). To cap the night off, had coffee at Starbucks Greenbelt 3.

MRP

MRP...as in Most Requested Pasta. Baked Ziti. My kids' favorite...mine, too. I don't know. I have cooked different pastas but this one is a knock out...never fails!

I tried this first in Sbarro way way back. Fell in love with it right away. Retrieved a recipe from the net, added my own “touch”. It was a trial and error thing then to my surprise, got the taste I have always wanted. SARRAAAPP!!!

It’s been the most requested pasta in family gatherings. Kaya nga medyo pagod din ako these past few days, weeks, months. Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays. Monthly ata my birthday..hehe! Okay lang =) As long as my family loves and enjoys eating my baked ziti…won’t get tired. BRING IT ON!

I HEART CHOCO CRINKLES

doesnt look yummy here but trust me...

Nov 12…my first attempt to make chocolate crinkles. I was so excited. Ako lahat, from buying the ingredients to washing.

Well, for a first timer…not bad…actually, it was GOOD! My kids and husband loved it. It was perfect (hehe love your own =p)…chewy, moist inside, taste is not “commercialized”.

Wanted to post the ingredients here but my husband advised me not to coz might think of selling them…hmmm, good idea =) YUMMY YUMMY CHOCOLATEY!

GIRL BONDING

Received a call from Anj..."tara, jo alis tayo!" syempre ako normal kaladkarin replied..."what time?=)"

Anj picked me up and decided to have our girl bonding at eastwood. had our early dinner at pasto. sarap talaga ng food...our comfort food...pizza and pasta! went shopping...window shopping muna then jack's loft for my vodka ice and anj's margarita. balik shopping ulit...this time may nabili na kami. got a pair of sandals and anj a vest.

HAPPY THOUGHTS HAPPY THOUGHTS, ANJ! tama na ang iyak. hehe! LOVE YOU, girlfriend >=)<
