Mixed Veggies with Chicken

Lunch was so good, mixed vegetables with chicken cutlets. Husband was the one who prepared this. It's just so tasty and juicy. He told me the difference was using chicken broth and not plain water. So...there's a big difference there huh.

Birthday

It was my aunt's birthday on Friday but the celebration was held today at their home. Occasions like these serve as mini-reunions for us. We live in different cities that's why it's a bit hard to have a get-together whenever we want to.

We take this opportunity to bond and just spend the day together eating, taking pictures and just having fun conversations. The kids too group together and just do what they want. Computer is never out of their agenda.

Spices and Seasonings

I was in a mad dash this morning thinking of what to do with the chicken wings. I want a quick fix but something new at least to my daughter's taste.

I thought of browsing on the internet how else can one modify fried chicken. It's a good thing I found a site which provided how to make chicken breading in five minutes. We ran out of the usual chicken breading that we use.

I am also thankful I have the necessary ingredients in my cupboard save for breadcrumbs but these will do. I love my spices and seasonings, they really come in handy.

Crackers

I have been managing my diet for the past days now. It feels good that I am following my 'no-rice' policy. 1/2 cup of rice in a day on some days but I generally do without it. It costs me 3 pounds less on the weighing scale. :)

Crackers are my usual companion in between tuna sandwich and bananas.

Beanie

This beanie was a gift last holidays by my niece to my daughter. They all have this - my daughter and her two cousins. We call them the Tres Marias. One's 17, the other 16 and my daughter is 11. They just jive together. My daughter looks up to them as their big sisters. I love these girls!

Adjustment

This has been a very productive day. I was able to do all the things I have set out to do successfully. I even dropped by my ortho's clinic. My orthodontist is also a dear friend.

Here's the reception area of the clinic she shares with two other doctors, another dentist and on OB.

School Project

One of the reasons I keep a lot of magazines (local and foreign) is the school projects which suddenly come up. My daughter's class was required to submit pictures of products made in the Philippines the following day.

We pulled out some magazines in our rack to find what the subject needs. This is their Arts subject mind you. Anyway, we came up with several pictures after an hour or so of looking. And the mess here made husband up a few minutes more than his usual bed time.
