A new compendium blog
For four months, I have been busy preparing for our trip to the Philippines in December leaving me no time to write entries. I have already sent 4 balikbayan boxes filled with gifts with 1 box sitting in our downstairs bedroom. I wait for after-Thanksgiving sale to complete my shopping.
This time of the year, I force myself to browse thru my calendar and recall the noteworthy items for our annual holiday newsletter. For ease, I set-up a compendium blog for all the sites I created, Ilokana Queen's Online Diary.
We agreed to host this year's Thanksgiving lunch and dinner because we won't be around for the holidays. Foremost in my mind right now is to go to the gym after work today before stopping by the Asian store for things we still need. Hubby is already brining a fresh, young, 15 pounder turkey we picked up from Whole Foods market which was marketed as vegetarian fed and free range so we're keeping our fingers crossed that it will taste better than the usual grocery turkeys.
We intend to serve lumpia shanghai, rellenong manok, rellenong bangus, chop suey, pork and beef bbq, grilled salmon, pancit palabok, honeybaked ham, and assorted cakes and pies, most of which are already ordered and I'll just do my rounds of pick-ups.
Maybe I'll stop by the gym also first thing tomorrow morning so I can further justify and enjoy the feast. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
