So this is Christmas
Sitting here by the fire with my husband. He is watching TV while I am doing what I usually do–blogging. The sky was not clear today and the sun didn’t appear a bit unlike yesterday.
When I was in Thailand I thought Christmas was such a lonely day in that country because they don’t celebrate it. I always missed Philippine Christmas which is very, very festive. Stores don’t close on Christmas day. There is celebration everywhere.
Last night I made a rice cake and messed it up because I put a chocolate on top and it got burned. It was not the cooking type of chocolate. It should have been better if I put the chocs after I had baked the cake.
Today, I am planning to make arrozcaldo later. I wanted to make haleya or ube jam but it’s too late to find a yam. Well, it’s not really that bad. I have chocolates to feast on. But I miss Philippine Christmas and all the foods we eat.
