1.1.11 Medianoche

We welcome 2011 with so much anticipation… this is going to be a great year… Of course, we had the usual preparation for the celebration. I didn't prepare much for our Medianoche. Medianoche literally means midnight in spanish language, but here in the Philippines, it is associated with the New Year’s Eve feasting.
Anyway, I just cooked java rice that went with Hungarian sausage ~ I know this meal is good for breakfast…but it’s midnight so, it’s a good excuse for a snack on New Year’s eve. We also had ham for the kids. Then, we had a gelatin for dessert, cakes ~brownies and butterscotch, french bread, carbonara, and cream bread.

Cinnabon: An Indulgence

 I love Cinnabon. Their baked goodies  are simply mouth-watering. I simply like their classic cinnamon roll. Sadly, we do not have Cinnabon here in General Santos. So whenever I have the chance to visit a place where there is a Cinnabon Kiosk like in the Ninoy Aquino International Airport… I could not help but give in to my cravings.

One time, my flight home was delayed. So I have lollygagged in the Cinnabon kiosk. I absolutely had a great time guzzling my latte and manducating my cinnamon roll. Perhaps, had it not been for the Cinnabon, I must’ve been kvetching the whole time for my delayed flight.

 

 

Bubble Gum Blast

One thing I indulge myself with is to eat at a fave restaurant... not to chow down myself on food but to simply enjoy my dessert. When we were in QC last year, every time my husband and I will go out on a date... I get to pick the place and just guzzle my favorite afters. One of my favorite places is 5 cows. They have these various sweets that are very irresistible. My favorite is Bubble Gum blast. This dessert is sinfully delicious. The taste of bubblegum is gratifying. This time i get to eat the bubblegum without worrying of digestive disorders (as the folks said when I was little).
