My Simple Birthday Dinner

My simple birthday dinner with family has been full of surprises. Aside from my direct family, my two lovely aunts, Irma and Nancy, graced the occasion. I love the simple meal comprised of two native chicken recipes, Native Chicken Soup and Native Chicken Curry, Liempo de Lechon, Spaghetti for long life, and the yummiest cake courtesy of my mother who left for Manila at 9 P.M. for an office related trip.

My father and I butchered the two native chickens I bought at Carmen market for P 200 a kilo. They both cost more than that and I had to pay P 540 for both. But I didn't mind the cost as we were all craving for native chicken. What's good about the chickens is that, they both are about to lay eggs. We got 2 eggs as bonus, plus the orange ones that are yet to develop. Such a lovely addition to Chicken soup.

My mother brought home this yummy cake from Red Ribbon and I swear, this one was a hit. The cake was not too sweet, and definitely, an addition to my chocolate addiction..

The Spaghetti which was cooked by my one and only sister, where she used the left over Keso de bola, which was yet almost whole.

 And the Native Chicken Curry.. Yummy..

The Native Chicken Soup with lots of Malunggay Leaves...

The Liempo de Lechon was to die for...

It may look ordinary, but I for me, since I shared it with extra ordinary people in my life, I am happy and blessed to enjoy such meal..

Today is the international women's day celebration. So timely that Zoan is in Cagayan de Oro City for a weeklong seminar that we decided to have an automatic meet-up cum baby shower that also falls on this day of women.

Below were some of the food we ordered.

Some greens for a healthy start..

Pizza... and of course, pasta..

We had soup before that, and it was actually a marvelous meal with lots of laughs... 

I did mention that it was an instant baby shower for Zoan, so that's me with my token for her and her soon to be bundle of joy..

 I am glad she liked it. Hope her cutesy doll will like them too..

After dinner, we went to the grocery and shopped some goods for our homes, and before leaving SM Cagayan de Oro City, we had group pictures again.. That, to cap the night's simple women's day celebration.

To Mommies Ruby, Karen, Zoan, Jacq and all the rest of PMC/CDO Mommy Bloggers Club, Happy Women's Day--- Mabuhay tayong mga kababaihan!
