My apologies, MM, I commented on the wrong post. The above comment should have been for the “silver” post. Excited kasi ako. I have not read your blog for the past two weeks.

The moment I finished reading the first sentence Ms. Dimaculangan immediately came to mind.
Now that the holiday frenzy of my own household and my own adjustment to returning to full-time work (after three months with the little ones at home) are over, it is very heartening that the first post I read here made me snicker again (and salivate, of course!).
More power to you, MM, for this 2007. May it be a better and more prosperous year for you and your family.

I love everything you had from the tablecloth down to the cheese and fruit platters! The ones that really caught my eyes are your mother of pearl plates and finger bowls. They are a real beauty. Did you use dressing on your romaine, Sagada grown navel oranges and red Anjou pear salad? If so, which one? Great way to enjoy Christmas.

On this side of the world we roasted chestnuts hand carried from Italy last October,they apparently have forests of them around Lake Como. Smoked salmon, garnished with flying fish roe (oh, for another kilo of beluga, now forbidden) beet, orange and mache salad, curried cream of cauliflower and leek soup, seafood paella, roast geese, roast beef and country ham and Christmas cookies in many flavours and shapes… For New Year’s dinner shrimp and crab salad and Cassoulet. Now back to the diet after the excesses of the holidays.
