MyParty. Finds. A Home.

This is lechon kawali. This, and all other deep fried foods are banned from our home following the (semi) strict diet we have imposed on my hypertensive husband. This is sauteed mung beans (ginisang munggo). This, and all other kinds of beans, are also banned in our home following the (semi) strict diet we have [...]

We spent the weekend at Fort Desoto’s East Beach with some friends. I took this snapshot just before a thunderstorm rudely interrupted our little party. Anyway, at least we managed to catch a few rays, as well as cook up some barbecue before the heavy rains came pouring down. This is the fourth time we’ve [...]

Actually, I could have submitted this entry for last week’s topic, too. This is our neighborhood pizza place. Definitely, its not your average joe’s pizza place. The servers don’t wear goofy fast food uniforms and, to a certain extent, are not as “clean cut” as you would expect employees of pizza places would be – [...]

There are different kinds of barbecues, of course, depending on where in the South you are – there’s North and South Carolinan, Texan, Memphis, Kansas City, Alabama, Kentucky, and Georgian – the difference is all in the sauce. However, and no matter the sauce, [...]

I am a firm believer in the age old saying that: you don’t really know what you’re missing until its gone. My family used to frequent Gerry’s Grill in Manila. It also helps that my sister used to work there, so we got a lot of freebies, too! Hehe! And then when we moved abroad, [...]
