A rare treat: taking my sister out to lunch
I am embarking on a crazy cooking adventure on Saturday. I am hosting a Philippine fiesta as a going-away for a couple who will be serving an LDS church mission in the Philippines. Armed with all these internet recipes, I will be cooking for two days, I kid you not...all my favorite Filipino dishes like:
sago and gulaman drink
lumpia (egg roll)
chicken curry
chop suey (mixed vegetables)
adobo
sinigang (pork and tamarind soup)
kare-kare (oxtail soup)
beef kaldereta (stew)
siopao (pork buns)
leche flan (caramel custard)
I am nervous and excited all at the same time. It'll be yummy!

Another reason I'm excited to throw this party is because my sister is visiting from Ireland. And I wanted to make a yummy spread before she heads back to the Emerald Isles. My brother, who lives in the Philippines, was also here for the holidays.
Fun times!

Sounds fun and tasty! Good luck.
I'm officially drooling! Can I come over, too? :) I'm particularly interested in the kare-kare...I've always wanted to cook with oxtail. I hope it goes well! (If you have any left overs, you can send them to me!) :)
Sounds like a delicious challenge! Have fun and good luck!
It went super!! My husband is my hero. He chopped at least 7 onions and was crying by the end of the cooking session. But it all turned out magnifique. Vivi, I actually couldn't find oxtail in time, so I skipped kare-kare. Next time! As for leftovers, come over this week, we have plenty :-).
That menu sounds so fabulous. Now I'm hungry.
