Over the holy week, we did nothing but eat. We were at home the whole time would you believe? Since we just got back from Guam and are off for an overnight stay in Tagaytay this Friday and a short getaway in Boracay this May, we didn’t bother to make plans for holy week anymore. Besides, my SIL who is vacationing from the US is here for a short two weeks so she would rather spend the time here at home with the little girl, her all time favorite niece. So for four days, I did nothing but cook for everybody at home with the helpers’ help of course. Yes, I got so domesticated haha. It has been a long time since I was, believe me. I just decided to be one again as to impress our guests haha.

In the four days I was able to cook wagyu beef, mashed potatoes, buttered veggies, kare-kare, bicol express, sweet and sour lapu-lapu, kaldereta and chimichangas. Everything was yummy daw! Oh well, thanks to Pinoy Cook and some recipe books.

I wasn’t able to take a photo of the other dishes I cooked sayang. This was the only pic I got.

Sweet and Sour Lapu Lapu.

I was just talking to my mom over the phone and she told me one great sad news that just kept me so sad the whole day today. A close cousin of mine is up for a drug treatment. His parents, my mom’s cousins are devastated but are convinced now more than ever that it is the best thing to do. My mom and I think so too. Sometimes we have to make great measures to help someone even if it would hurt them at first.

The ever worried, paranoid and doting mom my mom is, can’t now be worried than ever about his two precious boys, my twin brothers who are in third year high school now.  She said she can’t imagine the boys getting into drugs because if they do, she’ll probably die.  Who wouldn’t? I think kids getting into drugs is every parent’s nightmare. The worst one I believe.
