Today was mostly spent on………………………………………being lazy.
I watched my favorite series….
indulged on my favorite sweets….
gossiped with my favorite people…
…and had the most delicious Paksiw na Pata for lunch — with extra rice.
Happy Saturday to you. You looked really good today and I like your hair.
Will tell you all about our trip to Isdaan when I come to my senses tomorrow…..or on monday.
Paksiw na Pata is also one of my favorite dishes. We sometimes cook it with pineapple tidbits which adds a sweet n’ tart flavor that is just amazing. I love it with lots of dried banana blossoms!

Great for the skin 😉
masarap to lalo na pag sobrang lambot ng taba at malagkit lagkit pa. Mmmmmm
I did a similar dish a while back, but yours looks so much better. haha. I removed the meat from the bones eh kaya yun. Pata makes a great ingredient for paksiw! I like eating it more than I eat paksiw na lechon. haha
