New Year's Resolution: 23 Things I Will Do Since I'll Be 23

The end of the year is always an uneasy time for me since it's the time I reflect on the past year and plan my goals for the coming year. 

11 Highlights of the Year Before 2011

Looking back at what happened this 2010 before we enter into 2011. :) 

Maginhawa Street's Cocina Juan: The Winner Central American Dinner on 10-10-10

Yesterday, I talked about how I spent my 10-10-10 but I skipped out on the dinner part because I felt it deserved a separate blog entry. Yes it's that special! 


We wanted to go up to Antipolo and eat in TOSH to enjoy a great view but after 4 taxi rejections, we decided to have a plan B and head out to Maginhawa Street instead. 


Last time I was there, I visited Delish and had a great time. Across Delish though, I saw this other restaurant that caught my eye as well, Cocina Juan. For our monthsary dinner, we decided to try out this Central American garden-looking restaurant. Can I just say, it's really one winner dinner!

10-10-10 Monthsary Gift: Scalloped Potatoes from Scratch

Yesterday it was 10-10-10 day :)

There's an interesting project called One Day on Earth that asks people from all over the world to simultaneously document their own 10-10-10 story in order to create a 10-10-10 world film. I tried documenting my own by taking videos but I don't think my 10-10-10 day was so ground shaking since I had to be stuck at home for more than half the day due to the weather. Booo!


Anyway, since 10-10-10 also meant our monthsary, I decided to cook up something in the kitchen for RJ. We've been eating out a lot so it was a nice change and I just wanted to show him that I can cook (and not just bake)! He's a better cook than I am. :P


I took out my trusty FOOD cookbook and decided to make Scalloped Potatoes from scratch as a monthsary gift. My ate helped me out on this one too so that I can take pictures occasionally.
