Celebrating Love Day

Today is Valentine’s Day, indeed. I’m just too glad it fell on a weekend. It meant that I have enough time to prepare a good meal to be shared by my entire family. And so yesterday after work I dropped by the grocery to buy everything that I need for the week, and that included the special recipes I prepared for lunch today - kare-kare and pasta with ground beef.

I figured that instead of going out for dinner which we sometimes do to celebrate the occasion, why not prepare something special instead? And since pasta is my kids’ all-time favorite, I thought of preparing again, for the second time, the pasta with ground beef. The same recipe I prepared for the Media Noche. This time I made sure it would be perfect. And it truly was a hit again.

The kare-kare was a traditional one but it never failed to satisfy our craving for a perfect Filipino food. I just failed to prepare the desert because I ran out of time. I was cooking and treating patients at the same time (on call in the clinic when a pedia patient arrives).Anyway, there is still the left over cake that I baked (my first time!) yesterday and it was really good.

Happy Valentines to all!
