Last month I attended the birthday party of my friend Rizette’s hubby Eric who celebrated the big 5-0. Riz booked the Oakroom restaurant at the Oakwood Premier Joy-Nostalg Center Manila for a private party.

Deb’s Birthday Dinner by Bizu Private Caterer
When I celebrated my birthday a couple of months ago I slaved over a few dishes to feed my friends. When my friend Deb celebrated her birthday she did the smart thing and had it catered by Bizu. When you have a dinner party at home the host is usually busy running around and takingContinue reading “Deb’s Birthday Dinner by Bizu Private Caterer”
My Birthday Lunch
My birthday was last September but the celebration lasts for months since I have to treat different groups of friends and co-workers. That’s how it is in the Philippines. The celebrant does all the treating. But on the day of my actual birthday I was treated to a scrumptious lunch at a very good familyContinue reading “My Birthday Lunch”
Spanish Themed Birthday Dinner
I cook only once or twice a year. This year the first time was last month when I treated my friends for my birthday celebration. For dinner I decided on a Spanish theme to reminisce on all the wonderful tapas and Spanish food I ate on my recent trip to Spain. One of our favoriteContinue reading “Spanish Themed Birthday Dinner”
Broccoli Slaw
The first time I tried broccoli slaw was in Virginia last July when my cousin La made it for dinner. I never thought I would enjoy eating raw broccoli but I did.

Dinner at Jenny’s House
We recently had a mini potluck to celebrate our own birthdays at Jenny’s new house. We usually treat each other but since everyone was busy (that’s their excuse) we decided to celebrate together. Vivian’s birthday was in April, Jenny in August and me in September. Their kids meet up once a year too. Girls, weContinue reading “Dinner at Jenny’s House”
Birthday Dinner Preview
I’m having a few friends over for dinner tonight. I only decided to push through with the dinner party yesterday so I spent the whole afternoon yesterday buying ingredients. It’s a good thing I already wrote down some food ideas a couple of weeks ago. It usually takes me at least 2 days to prepareContinue reading “Birthday Dinner Preview”
