I love potlucks!  I love to see the people getting food to their plates. I love to see long lines with people with different facial expressions.  On my part, i now love preparing the food for potlucks.  I feel lucky to have a boss who loves to cook and really knows how to cook.

Last Saturday, after the Baccalaureate Program of the kids, the seniors with their parents also had a potluck.  There was so much food for everyone.  But i saw that not all kids were present.  There were also parents who were not around but their kids were there.

I think everyone had fun.  I had fun, too. I didn’t eat rice. I just had some fruits but took backed spaghetti for carbs and protein. What i love in that particular potluck was, there was no server.  You can just fall in line, pick the food you want as much you want – then eat!

Everyone’s digging in! You can see them. Right?  I can see my girl getting her food.

While others were busy getting food at the start of the table, the others were also busy getting their share of desserts.  Others just had desserts because they are on a diet.  I was on a diet so i ate fruits first.  I don’t like to take diet pills and experience diet pill side effects.  The bounce effect is not good especially for those who easily get depressed. I was already there so i can say.

After the fruits, i had bake spag, and fruits again.  When i was about to finish my meal, someone gave me some grilled chicken, so i ate a bit.  When i arrived home in the evening, i took some anti histamine pill.

How about you?  Do you do potlucks in your church? How often do you have potlucks in  a year?  I love potlucks that i even thought, when i get married, the reception will be a potluck. lol!

It’s been awhile that i passed by this new foodie hang-out but it was only yesterday that i got the chance to really experience.   The place is called Kyla’s Bistro.   That was free lunch for me or else i cannot taste their food.  This is what we had yesterday:

and this ~~

Girlie had an orange juice while i had a Nestea.  If i am going to eat this kind of food daily then i am going to die early.  So eating these foods once in a blue moon is surely a treat.

The time my daughter can start to eat solid foods, we fed on her veges. Mashed veges of any kind.  When she was still a toddler, there was no problem yet but she she started schooling she began to be picky on the food that she eats.  Of course she eats rice but not the vegetables.  She jst have the soup or the sabaw or the broth but not anything solid on the ulam especially if they are vegetables.   But now that she can read and understand what she’s reading, my mom gave her books about healthy eating, what good we get from a vegetables and everything – she started to be good at eating vegies even the ampalaya or the bitter gourd.  She likes ampalaya better than me.  Before she does not like eggplant or talong, but now she can tolerate it.   When it comes to meat recipes, she is not picky.  She loves just anything as long as it edible and not a bawal in our table.

Here’s a picture of her about to devour chicken strips with rice. She loves what she’s holding although she had a bad cough the time this photo was taken.
