daddy and brother

hm do they look alike? heres a picture of my dad's old green card and my brother's recent picture. im still trying to figure out if he's adopted :) they probably decided to adopt a baby boy since all of the kids are girls.. what do you think? some say they have a lot in common.. but i dont know. i cant see it..

family of food maniacs part 2

all made by my sister christina :)

the first picture are brookies. my nephew's favorite.. a little more time in the oven and it'll all be cooked. its called brookies because its brownies with chewy cookies on top. and rest are cupcakes all made by my ate  for nephew's 1st bday..and  the last are pink choco vanilla cake pops :).. Below are cakes made by my ate donna (dida). she's not a pastry chef but because she's very artistic and loves baking.. she learned how to do cakes on her own. with ingredients and materials, i guess nothing is impossible. 

family of food maniacs part 1

My de guzman family loovveess to eat.. and because they love food, they also enjoy cooking. i cant think of any member of our family who's not into eating nor cooking. its crazy ! i guess im the only one who's not as passionate as they are.. although im also into food and i also like to learn, i still dont consider myself as  a food maniac. my cousins are passionate chefs and my sisters are wonderful cooks.. my dad founded "Pinausukan" restaurant w/c has long been gone but you could still see and feel its legacy moving on to one member of the family to another. here are some pictures of my cousin gino's recipe that he  took himself and had to cook for 360 people so 360x8?

1) braised veal lasagna, truffled jus 2) barramundi, cauliflower, potato-saffron veloute 3) duck rillette, port jelly, asparagus salad 4) scallops, celeriac puree, pickled apple.

  

5) olive oil poached salmon, panzanella, smoked tomato creme fraiche 6) squid, avocado mousse, semi dried tomato, rocket mayo 7) tuna tataki, asparagus, lime-courgette vinaigrette 8) lamb back strap, pea puree, herb-mustard gnocchi

Double Trouble?

last friday's birthday party was a blast but for ate lot and ate clarence  (my sister's friends) there was a slight dilemma because they came to the party both wearing the exact same outfit as the other. .but they didnt take it too seriously unlike how it is on the red carpet.. and besides, they're friends.. but who wore it best?:)

i didnt ask anymore where they got their outfit  i just had to take a picture with this two lovely momma's :) whatever they wear, they both still look pretty hot

Recipe for a Fab Party!

My sister just had a fabulous 40th bday party at blue leaf last friday with over 250 guests. and it wouldnt be as fabulous if it weren't for K. cunanan catering!  if you want to pull of a great party, K. is the best person to call. because she just gives you anything you want from food to table design and the aura of the place I personally had the chance to visit her at her own home where she works most of the time for clients that  visit for food tasting. and can i tell you the food was indeed delectable. my checklist for my wedding is already 1 down. and for the cake? although we didnt get the chance to order from her ahead of time, i know for a fact that Joy San Gabriel is really good with cakes.. i guess im 2 down already haha..great party, sa uulitin :)

I want a new tattoo!!

Ive been dying to get a new tattoo and i wanna put it somewhere where i wont regret it. i have 3 tattoos and had my first one was when i was 14.. so you could just imagine how dumb the design is. it doesn't even have a meaning its just for the sake of having one. I'd like to have it on the side of my body where my arm rests.. just like where megan Fox put hers.. 

                              

In having a tattoo, black is the best ink to use because colored tattoos fade and you have to retouch it. mine even faded and the one on my nape is already messed up. On my nape it says IXOYE which means Jesus Christ God savior son, and on my back theres an eye which means absolutely nothing. and the BDG initials of my dad and the day he died :)

  

For my 4th id like it to be 1 Corinthians 13 in full Geek language.. but i guess i wont have the chance to get a new one.. of course Ivan has to approve first, and since he doesnt, i guess i just have to stick to what i have.
