mag-POLVORON ta karon


Today, April 14th 2020.  
Mommy's birthday on lockdown because of the virus outbreak.

Inspite of it, entire clan - daughters, sons-in-grace, grandchildren, grandchildren-in-grace, got together online.
Grateful hearts gathered. 
Thankful to the Lord for the life of Mommy G.  

From the day He made her in Apong's womb, through the many seasons of her life, Daddy God has been faithful.  Father has blessed ahead her journey and written ahead her destination.  Surely, with long life with many good days as He's promised, will He satisfy mommy.
Praise the Lord for each day He made for her.

Sans the birthday cake, Z and I made this polvoron together today.
Z wanted it with Oreo bits. (I pray our time in the kitchen be more of happy memories to her, than of me scolding 😅)


How timely that there's this mooncake mould from hubbytot.

We dedicate this one big pretty chunk of floral polvoron to our one and only Mommy, Lola G.

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗  Ingredients  3 potatoes, boiled &  roughly  mashed  1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn,  1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗  Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook
