Something about food and family that just goes together. Maybe it's our cultures (filipinos and italians) that make it be this way, but every time we see family there is always food involved.
You see, Mum and Dad came over. It was the first time they were seeing the house and we were both excited to hang out with them (Hubby wants to recruit Dad for our "band", I just wanted parent hugs) and show them our little slice of heaven.
So we headed down the mountain early yesterday morning to buy supplies and new pillows, hustling to get home before their train arrived so we can pick them up at the station but to our surprise they were at home waiting for us when we got back.
Ohh noo! 😱 I haven't finished cleaning, haven't prepared food... 😱😱
Good thing I decided on a small grazing platter for lunch which took no time to put together.
Mum being Mum, couldn't help herself and had to make us something. Hubby's favourite wonton soup.
Nothing like Mum food
And I made slow cooker chicken adobo.
We also had bbq lamb, courtesy of Hubby.
And this Filipino wine from Dad.
I can't remember the last time I was that full. I should say "this" full actually because today was pretty much the same as yesterday ~ food fiesta.
I showed Mum Steemit and encouraged her to post her recipes. My Mumma loves to cook and even entertained the idea of having her own "carinderia" many years ago.
I reckon recording her recipes on the blockchain for future generations is a brilliant idea. So often old family recipes disappear for one reason or another, having it on the blockchain ensures that it will live on.
I hope you guys had a great weekend. We sure did.
