Goodbye, October!

I've got no words to describe October. It wasn't intense nor mediocre. So let's make the pictures (and a little of captions) do the talking.

Duchess's 24th birthday

October 6 was Duchess's birthday and the Springbreakers had a little get-together to celebrate it the night before. As shown below, we had more food than we could consume which means more take away for us. 

(TL to BR) Pesto Pasta, Leche Flan, Taco Salad, Fettuccine Carbonara, Grilled Porkchop, Breaded Chicken Fingers, Taco Shells, Cheesy Potatoes, Sausages, Muffins

Cravings

Goto King's fresh lumpia was not the greatest but not the worst either.

Hubby initially craved for Tiramisu but we ended up making Mango Float. Not bad either.

This is a recipe I copied from Mrs Kolca. Obviously, mine was not as neat but hubby could vouch for its goodness. To my defense, I didn't really follow the recipe. I based everything on the photo. It was one of those "instinct cooking" moments for me.

I craved for this like a crazy woman for days until hubby surprised me one evening. This Puto Bungbong was so heavenly I had to get another for myself the next day.

As a working adult, gone are those days when I used to sit in front of the house holding a cup while waiting for my favorite Kuya Taho to arrive. And let's face it, those taho stalls in the mall are in no way comparable to the goodness of our childhood suki. I was too grateful when an officemate was kind enough to buy me a cup.

Surprise

I got this "special gift" from Sodexo the other day. Love them surprises!

OK. I TAKE IT BACK.

Remember I started this entry by saying that October was not intense? Who am I kidding? Thanks to the epic tandem of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, we had nothing but heartfelt and consuming nights, hubby and I. But let's not get too carried away and save an entire post for this one, shall we?

So there you go. That's about it for my October (on top of the first few posts I already did for the month).

Oh, hello there, birthday month!
