I had a simple party with friends last saturday in our new house.  Thanks to the girls for coming despite the heavy rain.  Good thing, they didn’t get lost with my directions via sms.  I specifically asked the “cook” on what to prepare and everyone enjoyed the hearthy meal.  I am blessed with a good cook now and glad that she’s a right fit for our household.  We cooked together the following:  shrimp tempura, steamed lapu-lapu (chinese style), beef kalderata, herbed chicken and crispy pancit canton.  Mind you, this was the 3rd party in the house.  I’ll post next time the party last night with the wedding suppliers as I was very happy that a lot came in also despite the heavy rain.
