I wouldn't post exact dates on this blog (for security reasons, aight?) but just the same I'm sharing important occassions for the world to see, hehe.
We celebrated my thirty sixth out on a casual dinner at John's kitchen, a zen-inspired outdoor steak house at Angeles City.
Hon and me, sweet sixteeners? LOL!
John's Kitchen's specialty - The Surf and Turf
My favorite - Chicken Schnitzel with Green Salad on the side.
Yet another great steak with onion rings.
The meal was soo scrumptious yet very affordable. Steaks cost less than two hundred pesos (less than $5). Pigging out is now made more affordable, lest we wanna be fatter and unhealthier, that is. haha.
My hubby's auto detailing shop, Q-Zone Professional Detailers, kicked it up a notch! We were asked by a friend, Alex of Alx Custom Werks to do the detailing job of one entry at the recently held Manila Auto Salon. It was held at the SMX Convention Center, last week November 24-27. It was indeed a privilege to be trusted by Alex, who is considered one of the best in customizing auto sound systems in Pampanga. And of course, we're honored to get to detail an entry of Manila Auto salon calibre!
This is the car Q-Zone detailed. I should have taken in from an HD cam.
Hubby with our youngest boy. Inspecting his shining work, lol.
Yes, you read it right - Q-Zone Professional Detailers! Yay!
Q-Zone logo, and of course Alx Custom Werks at the rear door.
Hubby with our eldest son. Still stares with amazement at his shining work, haha!
Q-Zone Professional Detailers and ALX Custom Werks work great together! :)

The pretty model. She gave me a sweet and sincere smile when she noticed I'm taking her pic. Maybe I'm one of the few females who takes pics of models, haha! Peculiar, huh?
This was the dessert I made for our cooking contest The Master's Kitchen.Until now I still can't believe this won, haha.
You will need:
375 grams squash
100 ml condensed milk
approx 5 grams peanuts (crushed)
125 grams powdered milk (skimmed / buttermilk)
50 grams coco sugar
Super easy process:
1. Cut squash into small thin strips.
2. Steam squash. [tip: you can steam them while cooking rice using rice cooker.]
3. Mash the squash.
4. Add milk, sugar, condensed milk, and peanuts.
5. Scoop mixture using a spoon and dash with coco sugar.
6. Place on small plastic cups.
Women's Ministry of our church held a cooking show called The Master's Kitchen. Every cell group presented three entries: sandwich, drink, and dessert. The dishes have to be nutritional, economical, creative and sumptous.
I was assigned to do the dessert for our group. Of course I wasn't confident to do it. I think I'm the least qualified to do it compared with women from other groups. Our church's women are highly esteemed home makers and cooks, and I think I'm not yet on their league.
Anyways, I prepared something - simple though. Originally it was Squash Pastillas, but the consistency of the pastillas was not good. So I modified it and lo, it tasted like yemas. harhar. So I just called it Squash Yemas in Coco Sugar. (Will post the recipe and Nutritional Benefits and Economic Value later.)
Guess what? We bagged the Best in Dessert. It's what I least expected, but God favored our dish. Will expound on this story later. All I can say is TGBTG! To God be the glory!
