A Great Find at Gourdo's

Christmas and New Year celebrations with my in laws isn't complete without mom's roast turkey or pot roast.  She was using a 9x13 inch pyrex to prepare these wonderful dishes.  She would have to check regulary and scoop out any excess juices or sauce for fear of spilling over.  So for the past few years, we've been searching for an inexpensive deep roasting pan w/ a rack.  Although we were tempted one visit at S&R, we didn't want to spend P2,499.95 for this Kitchen Aid roasting pan that would be used just a couple of times a year.

Imagine our delight when we stumbled upon this.

The BakerEze 14.5 x 10.5 x 2 inch roast and lasagna pan was a steal at P560!  Can't wait to try this soon!

Beef and Veggies in Mushroom Sauce

A semi successful experiment.  I had no idea what to cook one night.  So I just mixed in some ingredients together.  

Le Delice Deli Shop and Restaurant

My sister in law and her family moved from their cozy condo unit to a more spacious house a few months ago.  Before they settled in, we drove down south to check out which things needed to be repaired, painted, cleaned etc.  After the inspection, our grumbling stomachs led us to their clubhouse where we stumbled upon Le Delice.  It's a mini convenience store, deli shop and restaurant rolled into one.  The owner of Santi's runs this place according to my brother in law.

The Kebab Factory

My birth month June is peak season for our families.  We celebrate the birthdays of my dad, maternal grandfather (which I wrote about here), husband and sister in law to name a few from the long long list.  

For my husband and sister in law's birthday dinner, we decided to steer away from our usual restaurant and cuisine choices.  We met up at The Kebab Factory in Burgos Circle.

The stars of the night were the Papadum Masala and Spinach and Feta Cheese Dip.

The Papadum Masala smelled good and looked appetizing.  The crunch of the fried lentil wafers went well with the onions, tomatoes and coriander.

A Cars Themed Kiddie Party

I will always remember JJ's 1st birthday party for the uberly delicious Chinese food.

Chicken ala King

My version of chicken ala king.  Best served hot with either rice or bread.  I had this with some bread and I scooped up the sauce with it.

Crave Burger

Always do your grocery shopping on a full stomach.  We noticed that we tend to grab a lot of stuff we don't need when our stomachs are grumbling thus inflating our bill.

Last week, we arrived at Shopwise later than our usual first wedneseday schedule so we decided to have dinner before anything else.  We ordered the Crave Combo #1 (P190), Crave Burger with Skinny Fries and a 12oz drink.
