Last December 24 was Mama's birthday and, it being the bisperas ng Pasko, the family had our traditional Christmas dinner as well. I guess we've all been gourmands of some sort, which is why in the past few years whenever there is a special occasion and the family decides not to dine out at some new resto, we each prepare a dish to lay on the dining table.
It doesn't matter if it's from a recipe book or something whipped up from scratch. Atypically, our taste buds savor most anything that isn't the familiar lutong-bahay Filipino fare. Not that we don't appreciate a scrumptious serving of grilled seafood, inihaw na baboy, kare-kare and ensaladang mangga.
Below, this is the pasta with sausage that my sister Princess brought.
Here, we have the potatoes with garlic and fish with almonds that my younger sister, Cris, prepared.
Below is the chicken with white sauce dish prepared by my brother Paolo's fiancee, Tin. They actually also prepared another super-delicious dish, stuffed tomatoes, as well as a to-die-for dessert. But I guess in my rush to eat them, I forgot to take photos.
Finally below we have the fresh veggie salad that Rox and I prepared.
