My youngest kid, Hans Zander celebrate his first birthday last Nov. 15. We celebrated it by staying the whole day at a hotel and bringing the kids at the mall where they played and dine to their hearts desire. The next morning we all ate at the hotel's breakfast buffet room. The whole day was filled with laughter and good food. In that 24 hours, I saw the smiles, the laughter, the excitement and amazement on my kids eyes. I saw how happy my wife was and everything that we planned before all came true.
After two weeks, we again celebrated Hans first birthday by preparing some real home cooked good food along with some kids and a few of our friends and relatives, this time at my mother's house. We had clowns, some prizes for the kids, some loot bags, a great cake, balloons and all the works to make that day extra special. Two separate days of celebrating my sons first birthday, one with a more private and personal touch, the other one in a more festive mood. On those occasions, one we never forgot to do is to thank God almighty for all the blessings He gave us for the whole year, all the hardships we encounter so that we may live stronger in faith and have contentment on the things that we have and share some of them to those whom we think needed the most.
Life has been good to us, and I know it will always be better as long as we have the faith, the attitude, the hope and the love for each other as a family.
On this note I would like to share some of the food we made for that celebration. I made corn dogs, sweet chicken wings, spaghetti, sauteed sotanghon, beef dinuguan, beef with broccoli, two large bilaos of puto pandan and puto ube. We also have maja mais, buko lychee, and fresh lumpiang ubod. A five gallon apple iced tea and some litters of beer.
The next post will be some of the ingredients and procedures on how we cooked those that I mentioned.
