MyParty. Finds. A Home.

Had this Seafood Udon Soup from Kim Chi Korean Delight. It’s perfect for the chilly nights that we’ve been having these past few evenings.  I have a love affair with noodle soups. I love the Filipino versions of it – mami, lomi, etc. – but I also love the Vietnamese pho, Japanese ramen and udon, [...]

For my baby’s fifth month, as usual, our go-to place for the cake is the nearby Marble Slab Creamery. Aside from the fact that its both a cake and an ice cream treat, it saves me the time and the energy of making one straight out of our very own oven. I have to admit [...]

I can’t believe it, my baby has just turned four months old! Time has gone by so fast. Unfortunately, we were in the middle of moving out from our rental to another one so I didn’t have time to cook my daughter’s celebratory noodles myself. When in a pinch, of course, we always go back [...]

Happy Easter, everyone! After attending Easter mass, our family trekked over to Cora’s for some yummy brunch. As you must know by now, our family is big on brunches. We usually have special Saturday brunches but had to put that on hold when the baby came along. Anyway, I have been badgering hubby to revive [...]

Hoping to catch some fireworks action during the New Year, my family and I drove downtown to the Calgary Olympic Plaza to enjoy the Fire and Ice New Year’s Event sponsored by the city.

This post is so delayed that, I guess, if I don’t post it now it won’t get posted until our next Noche Buena. Living at a hotel during the first few weeks of our move to Canada, we didn’t really have a lot of options to create even a standard home-cooked Noche Buena feast in [...]

Last December, hubby and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary for the first time at our new home here in Canada. We decided to try Joey Tomato’s Mediterranean Grill for the first time, just because our daughter found the name of the restaurant funny. We went to the Northeast Calgary location and, save for the [...]

For our farewell dinner in Texas, my family and I decided to finally try the barbecue place down the block from our apartment. We’ve been going to a couple of BBQ places in and around the Dallas area and have mostly taken Spring Creek Barbecue for granted. Its a good thing we saved a very [...]

One time, my family and I had a craving for pizza but were tired of the usual delivery places. It only took us one tv commercial and off we went to try Papa Murphy’s. Theirs is a different concept -the take and bake. Preferably, you would order ahead and then the staff at the store [...]

I had a pantry still full of baking ingredients a few days before we were scheduled to move out. The solution, to try to use as many of those ingredients as I could so I wouldn’t have to throw away a lot of things. Which is why my daughter and I eventually came up with [...]
