Christmas Dish 2013

I was working on Christmas Eve at my place of work until 3 o'clock in the afternoon and I was worried sick because I thought I won't be able to make food for our Christmas Eve dinner. Thankfully, I was able to do it after resting about an hour or so after I arrived from home and decided to make 3 types of Filipino dish that my husband had requested for me to make. The three dishes that I cooked were Pinoy Style Spaghetti, Bake Stuff Pompano Fish and Special Chicken Caldereta. Take a look at the photos below and I will be posting the recipe later on.

What have you cook for your Christmas dinner? I would love to hear it from you!

Jollibee Oh How I Miss You!

One of the many things I miss about being in the Philippines is not able to dine out at one of my favorite fast food place called Jollibee. I am craving for some Chicken Joy and Jollibee Spaghetti. I would rather have this delicious food in my table if I was ask to choose between McDonald and Jollibee. Also, going to the Jollibee reminded me of those great memories I have with my family as well as bringing my younger siblings every pay period. As a matter of fact, when my then boyfriend and now my husband visited me in the Philippines for the first time in 2004 we went to Jollibee for our first date. Overall, Jollibee became a huge part in our everyday life in the Philippines. 

Hotel Supplies!

Operating a hotel or motel chain is a great business in this day in age because there is always a need for hotels or motels. This is especially true if you live in a large city or a city that draws in lots of tourists. Often times it can even be difficult to get a hotel when traveling to a large city, I know that from experience when my husband and I have had to struggle to find a decent place to stay while out of town. One of the things that tourists look for in a hotel or motel is a good price, but also comfort and safety are equally important and many people are willing to spend a little more for comfort and safety, I know I do. So finding supplies is very important so that your guests will feel comfortable, and fortunately you can actually find any Hotel Supply Online. The types of hotel supplies include hairdryers, furniture and even Hotel Bar Supplies. There is one place that has Atlanta Hotel Supply that sells great items in the wonderful city of Atlanta, this place is called Peach Suite, and even if you don’t live in Atlanta you can have them ship their supplies to you, wherever you live. So go check out their website today, you will definitely find a great deal!

Food Adventure

Dearest husband and I had been dining out a whole lot lately. As a matter of fact, we have been trying new cuisine at least once a week when we both have the same days off from our places of work. One of my favorite dishes that I tried was fried calamari. DH and I also went to try out our local Vietnamese restaurants here and wow I am so impressed; the food was perfectly cooked to my liking and so delicious. Lastly, we went to one of my favorite restaurant of all times and that is Texas Road House. I am forever grateful for having a husband who is as an adventurous as me.
