I have been reading Marketmanila for more than 10 years now. I very much enjoy everything you write. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your blessings with your readers. I live in Northern California and work in Silicon Valley. You help me overcome my homesickness for the Philippines.

Actually, one should pour champagne with the glass at an angle (exactly like pouring beer). This minimises the premature loss of effervescence (and loss of flavour with it). Champagne makers work hard to put those bubbles in the bottle–it is a shame to waste them!

The thing about champagne is that it’s so frothy that you’re forced to stop pouring too soon to avoid overflow. Obviously then, when the froth subsides, what’s left looks miserly. The trick is to preferably gather the flutes together, pour a little into each before filling them normally. Done this way, the froth somehow behaves.

As ever, superb! The meat is so perfectly done, I could taste them. the dessert selection is not at all bizarre. It’s Christmas. It should be a feast!
