Happy Grandparents Day (Sept.8, 2013)

One of the special days to show our love to our Lolos and Lolas -
Grandparents Day! We thank them for all the love, caring, and support.

Today, we also commemorate Mama Mary's Birthday.

The Family had a sumptuous lunch with my mother-in-law @Dolcellate Cafe and
Gourmet Bakeshop.

 

My son enjoyed his Ripe Mango Shake, Vegetable Salad, French Onion Soup 

and Italian Style Chicken Kebab.

 

 

The husband had his Smoked Pork Ribs. Mine was Bacon Wrapped Shrimp.

Classic Carbonara, Dolcelatte Club Sandwich and Green Mango Shake for my 

mother-in-law.

Ended up with the house's Syphon Brewed Coffee and Cappucino with 

the Choco Chips Biscotti.

 

 

After lunch, my son's favorite Carrot Cake from Cake 2 Go for his

Lolo Dictol and Lola Ming.

One gloomy Saturday of March, The Family decided to spend the
weekend bonding in Eastwood City.

With the Easter Eggs for the upcoming Easter Egg Hunt activity...

After a stroll in the complex, The Family enjoyed the lunch @ Crisostomo - 

Turn of the Century Filipino Cuisine.

As usual my son ordered his favorite mango shake.

Have been noticing lately that my son has a great appetite for great food. 

 

The Bagumbayan Lechon(kawali) and the Tarsillo Squid Al Jillo which my son

liked very much.

My husband enjoyed his Sisig Lengua. 

 

Very happy for his new Lego set to add to his collection. 

 

 To complete the day, we tried the Caffe Bene - the largest coffee chain 

in Korea now in Eastwood.  Lots of Korean.  Ambiance is cool and 

perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee.

I had my caramel machiato, cappucino for my husband with the Blueberry waffle

and Cheese Honey Bread. 

My son is so excited to assemble his new lego toy.

A Krispy Kreme coffee date with my Husband + a Coffee Passport

Had been missing my fave Blue Berry kruffin @Krispy Kreme lately so I decided
to have a coffee date with my husband just this afternoon which I paired it with
Caramel Latte.  As usual, The Husband ordered his medium-sized brewed coffee
and Newyork Cheesecake.

I was surprised for a KK Coffee Passport which was handed to me by the crew.  

How it works?  Every time you buy a cup of coffee, your passport will be stamped.

And your stamps will entitle you to free Krispy Kreme products/merchandise below. 

When you buy 3 coffees, you can get 6 original glazed doughnuts for free.

After having 6 stamps, you can get a collectible mug.  Buy 12 coffees and your

12 original glazed doughnuts are free. 

The Husband, enjoying our Krispy Kreme coffee date.

What a great coffee date to end the weekend and start the manic Monday.

A week's excitement of my son has finally come to its fulfillment when he was able
to make his Egg Sandwich just this morning.  As expected, he woke up early
today and immediately jumped out from bed to prepare his Egg Sandwich.

white pepper and soft bread.

.
2. Cut/slice the egg into small pieces.

3. Put the mayonnaise.

4. Sprinkle a little white pepper and mix.

Tasting his mixture...

Presto!!! Marty has Egg Sandwich and he made proud of it  by sharing it with
me and his Papa.

fun-filled learning experience again for my son.
