Christmas day very late lunch to early dinner, we had lechon, halabos na hipon, grilled catfish, sinigang na hipon and salmon belly, cucumber salad, mango salad and sliced green mangoes with bagoong as sawsawan, pancit malabon, apple pie a la mode , very sweet tangerine and cascaron. All of these was cooked by my sister except for the cascaron which was made by my cousin. All these food for only 8 people. so we had lots of left-overs. Thanks to the foodsaver, and lots of disposable plastic containers we froze the foods so that we could just re-heat whatever we wanted to eat. Thaw them out first before re-heating and it still tastes as if it was newly cooked. The ham which was already pre-sliced when bought, we just used pineapple preserve and mayonnaise to make our own sandwiches. We cooked lechon paksiw but we still have some in the freezer. This time we just drank pop. Noche buena, we had nido soup, pancit sotanghon guisado, honey baked ham, lomi-lomi, ambrosia, champagne and sparkling apple cider.

My wife and I had a vacation in a resort in Siaton, Negros Oriental and on our way back home to Bacolod had a one night stay at Dumaguete. The strongest thought in my mind and my belly was finding budbud kabog. And I found it early the next day at the public market in a "painitan." I swear I can eat six in a row! I took home some budbud kabog back to Bacolod and as I'm nearing the end of this comment the next thing i will do is pop one more kabog in my mouth (and I just came from a wedding party). i really don’t know where to put this comment.
