Another trip!

So finally after almost two years, I get to go out of this huge Texas state! The last time I went to Vegas, without knowing, I was pregnant. I was probably 2 weeks pregnant that time. It was September, 2010. So that would make it a year and a half. Wow. I have been in my little small corner for a year and a half and I survived! Yey me! Haha!

So tonight! We are leaving for vega and this time around, our darling daughter will be tagging along. This should he fun as I have no other intention but to eat and eat and eat. Lol! Don't even remind me of insanity! Ahaha!

So if y'all have any cool suggestions on places to eat and whatever to do or go. Please do comment.

For sure, for sure I will definitely have to visit Max Brenner!!! Because I just have a massive sweet tooth. And of course, our vegas trip would never be complete without a brunch in Jollibee and stopping by at Red Ribbon to take home a yummy cake!!!

To any of you who don't know what Jollibee is. Its a fastfood in the Philippines that is equivalent to McDonalds. The menu consist of hotdog in a bun, couple kinds of burger, fried chicken with rice, breakfast food, ice cream sundae and other filipino food. Its just so good. You have to try it. Too bad they don't have it in Texas.

Anyway, will update y'all soon on any dainty news I'll have to share!!!!

Babush!!!!

Last night's festivities

Sorry folks! I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the finished lechon last night. My hands were too oily. Plus, I was too preoccupied in eating & eating & eating!!! Hey, I can justify my eating habits because I exercise. So I deserved it! Ha!

The lechon was sooooo good. To any of you who doesn't know what a lechon is. It is a kind of delicacy that we have in the Philippines thats always been stapled in any event or dinner party.

The Homemade Lechon was so delicious. The sauce that was used to brush it was just the perfect balance of flavor. The stuffing used to flavor it complemented the meat. And it was so drenched in good flavor that the meat sucked it in. So with every bite, you have this juicy and tender meat that seems to melt in your mouth. I didn't even use pinakurat (a kind of yummy sauce!) to eat it with. It was that good. It was beyond words! Too bad I didn't get to capture that moment. Then you pair it with white steamed rice and a glass of ice cold cola and you are in food heaven! Of course, I didn't indulge in the cola part because I am just trying to avoid that. Lol.

Then dessert, we had a slice of this tres leches cake with a creamy & milky, not too sweet filling. The icing was just the right amount of sweetness. The cake itself was just so soft and moist. Even the fondant tasted great.

We had ourselves a good yummilicious dinner!

Of course, whats a party without booze ey! So the guys had their drink. Well, only 3 of them shared a bottle of french liquor. And they almost finished it! Good thing my Aunt took it away. Lol! They were hammered which made the night even more fun because they were just blabbering their hearts out. Lol.

By the way, shout out to my mother in law. Its her birthday today! Happy Birthday Mommy! May God pour his favor on you as you have with us!

Lechon!!! Roasted Pig!

My uncle & brother in law are always full of good ideas specially when it comes to food. And since it was my mom in law's birthday, what better time to have another good idea. Well they have been at it for a long time and finally they're acting on it. They decided to barbeque their own pig. Lol Roast would be a better word.

They're actually still cooking it right now. I'll take another picture later when its cooked and I'll let you guys know how good it tastes. Heheh!

Another birthday!!!

Tomorrow is my mother in law's birthday! And tomorrow my husband and I together with our daughter, my brother in law, our nephew, and my mother in law will be heading to vegas baby, yet again! I don't know why, well I do know why. But our vacays and trips always takes us to vegas. For one I married into a family who likes casino! And I myself, a food lover! So vegas is always a good choice, since it is full of great casino's for them, good food for me, and great shows for the kiddo's!!!

Since were leaving tomorrow, they decided to have a little dinner tonight to celebrate our dear Mommy's birthday!! And you know me, I just love dinner's and parties and plus I would take any excuse to pick up a cake. I just love selecting a design for cakes and have them made.

So I went ahead and ordered yesterday at a local bakery called CC's sweets & tweets. Sadly they require you to call ahead 48 hours in advance. Good thing I always go there every friday to buy a cupcake called "the rocher" that they only sell on fridays and by the way I have never tasted it because they always ran out by the time I get there LoL!!! So Roberta, the owner was so nice and said that for me she could make it happen! Yay! I love her and that place and everything they make. So I was so excited to see the cake! And now I have it and I just can't wait to show it to you guys.

Its a tres leche flavored 6 inch cake. I will let you know how good it is after I take a bite at it later. Lol!

Fried Tuesday continuation

Have you ever been so sleepy that things you were holding just slip out your hands or whatever you were writing became just lines and scribbles? Well, last night my eyes were half open. Like literally! You have no idea how many times I erased whatever I wrote because I couldn't even understand what it was. Lol.

Anywho. So I was saying last night we worked out like crazy and so did we today. Well, back to my point! After shedding out lots of sweat yesterday, a little light went on my head and I decided to fry the chicken and the salmon that I put out few hours back to defrost. I mean, we deserved it after a month and a half of working out.
PLUS, I used olive oil to fry it. Hahah!

Enjoy the pictures! By the way if you ever are curios, I just put a little salt & pepper then just fried it. Simple! Oh and the other food was hard boiled eggs, corned beef (filipino style) & of course white rice! Voila! Dinner served!

Fried Tuesday!!

My husband and I had another Insanity workout session today. Let me tell you, just when you think its gonna get easy, it just gets harder and harder!!! I don't get it. Isn't it suppose to be easier after a few tries and repeats? Right? Right! Well then how come every session just seems to be harder amd harder and harder. We sweat more. Eat more. Work at it more. Now that I think about it, we do more as time goes by. I guess that's the reason why it never becomes easy. Its maybe because when your body becomes comfortable, insanity forces you to push yourself a few more steps every single day.

And now! I am very tired, very sore. And I don't normally sleep before midnight, but I think tonight I will
make an exception.

Anyway, before I forget to tell you the reason why I blogged tonight, I'm just going to blurt it out, because believe it or not, I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

You know what? Just forget it. I will post about whatever was on my mind tomorrow. For now I will have my long sleep. Good night!!!!

Baked Salmon

Cooked it for dinner last night. <3
