Even though it may appear to be one, it's not. Really.&nbsp; I swear on my herb garden. ;D<br><br>It's just that it's the holidays and our fridge is filled with... you guessed it... FOOD! I hate leftovers. In fact, we hardly have them because we cook just the right amount for each meal. Holidays are different though, aside from overcooking (and overeating), we received so much food as gifts so I had to be creative! Ergo, the food blogs. <br><br>Let's start with butter (in my opinion, it's a good start). Remember how I blogged about receiving tubs of <a href="http://mabuhaygirl.multiply.com/journal/item/1562/Eats_Good_Garlic_Herb_Truffle_Butter">butter</a>?

Trust me, your family will love it! </li><li>Christmas plates need not be expensive, they just have to be special.</li><li>Mix and match colors, textures, and styles. In the end, when you like every piece you own, it will all come together and create a style that is your own.</li></ul><br>I have three assorted sets of Christmas dinnerware. Don't judge me. Haha!

While chatting with Paco, he mentioned that one of his passions is making homemade gourmet ice cream. I was interested because growing up, my dad used to make homemade ice cream using an electric ice cream maker he bought in Hong Kong. My siblings and I thought it was the coolest thing! It was the best ice cream I've tasted!<br><br>Paco and I agreed that to make good homemade ice cream, one must use the freshest ingredients. When I asked him where he gets his milk and cream to make ice cream, he mentioned that he has a farm and that he breeds cows. Coolness. He also offered to send me a few bottles of fresh milk. Double coolness.<br><br>Low and behold, a few days later, check out what took over our fridge...<br><br><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=nxja05" target="_blank"><img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/nxja05.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0"></a><br>Holly's Real Farm Fresh Milk<br>Thank you Paco for the milk and cheese...<br><br><a href="http://tinypic.com/?ref=9app5l" target="_blank"><img src="http://i54.tinypic.com/9app5l.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0"></a><br>...and ice cream too!<br><br>Funny thing, I thought he sent us vanilla ice cr... http://mabuhaygirl.multiply.com/journal/item/1561/Got_Fresh_Milk_Milk_bottles Sat, 11 Dec 2010 23:47:33 -0000 http://mabuhaygirl.multiply.com/journal/item/1560/Ive_Got_Mail <font size="5">Mabuhay!</font><br><br>I love all your messages!

I leave that to Nora Daza, my grandmother, and my mom.<br><br>Everyone has their own version of chicken adobo and what makes it delicious is the sauce. The oil, fat, and chicken bones create a savory base for the sauce. By adding soy sauce, vinegar, laurel leaves, garlic, sugar and peppercorns make this chicken stew irresistible! The burst of sweet, sour, tangy flavors, and fall-off-the-bone chicken meat promises a complex yet mouthwatering dish but fattening too! LOL <br><br>That being said, I don't attempt to copy the classic recipe. My version of the chicken adobo is healthier (less fat and sodium) yet very tasty.
