AFTER THE PARTY

Shop at More Food Adventures

Our school's Juniors Night ended with our students wanting more. We actually finished the program early that the kids started with disco dancing earlier than we imagined. Unfortunately for them, our school OIC declared that at 9:30 the party was to end, and it did. Although the kids still wanted to dance until 11 pm, which was the time we were supposed to end our affair at the restaurant, our admin still had the call whether or not it should end at the aforementioned time, or let the kids dance the night away. Oh well, it is better than no JN at all. And although it was kind of abrupt, I think the kids did have a great time. 

Anyway, I think everything went well. The preparations, the committees did a great job, the program was good, with all the amazing emcees and hosts, and of course, all the parts well played. 

As to the food, no complaints about it. The kids had snacks, so did everyone of us.. Dinner was also very heavy with Beef and Chicken dishes plus Sotanghon and two kinds of dessert, a piece of Blondie and a Brownie. I think this was the same food choice we had from last year's JN, which of course is not really bad because it will be disco dancing after, hehehehe.. 

I heard the kids saying that the meal was just what they needed. Imagine some of them didn't have time to eat lunch due to preparations for our party that started at 1 PM. 

While the kids were dancing, all of us teachers and guests, on stage, were served a second snack.. Not all of us ate the said snack because of the very heavy dinner. 

Although the dancing after dinner was quite wild, I still prefer to remember the kids while they danced the cotillion. That was before the disco dancing started. They all looked impeccable and classy during the cotillion. Afterwards, and most especially during the time we were ushering them out the restaurant, I saw hairdos gone, gowns losing some of the special touches, and sweaty brows with ties no longer in place.

Love Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes

Shop at More Food Adventures

Today's lunch and dinner dishes are cooked with two similar ingredients-- potatoes and sweet potatoes. Both are healthy but the latter is healthier since it has low glycemic index than the former. In fact, the latter is the best alternative for the former. 

So as our practice here at our pad, we cook for lunch and dinner at the same time because we do not have the time to do. It's always a good idea that when the kids come home, food is ready and all they have to do is eat. Today it's Chicken liver with potatoes and carrots as well as Pork and Chicken Adobo with Sweet Potato. 

For this recipe, we used Pork Liempo and chicken breast cut into smaller pieces. The sweetness of the sweet potato makes the dish more exciting. Plus, it is a meal in itself, no need to have rice. 

I shall post the recipe one of these days. Stay tuned.
