It was fun to load up our plates with jap food and grill-ables such as salmon, salted beef, mushrooms, and other yummies.
And of course, we didn't forget dessert.
Then we went to UP to digest the meal.
The Chucks were Spanky's Christmas gift 5 or 6 years ago. The brown Vans were his wedding shoes.
Ended the day with a nightcap at home with a few friends.

Fast forward to today--me, down with ze snifflez. I don't know why but the common cold renders me weak and useless. I feel debilitated.
I didn't have the energy to do the groceries so I settled with what we had in the ref. I surfed the net and found this Spanish Potato Omelet recipe, which I tried with carrots, basil and dried malunggay.
Then I made some instant crab and corn soup.
When Spanky woke up, he found out I was feeling under the weather and took over the kitchen.
He made me the ultimate comfort food--arroz caldo from scratch.
Plus a thermos of calamansi juice to wash it all down.
