A Simple Noche Buena Good for People with GERD

My hubby and I have always had simple Christmas celebrations. Since both of us are not huge fans of the season, we prefer not to make a fuss about it. Actually, if it weren't for my family being with us, we probably would have slept through it. Anyway, last Christmas, Peter just prepared food enough for the five of us (my parents and sister included), making sure that I won't be eating oily and fatty dishes since I have special food requirements, although I did have Pancit Canton from Amber's, two glasses of strawberry wine and a glass of Coke. Luckily, I didn't feel bad afterward so maybe my GERD has already healed. ^_^

Baked Chicken

I only ate the meat inside and avoided the skin.

Our Simple Noche Buena

We didn't visit our family or spent Christmas anywhere but home. It was just the two of us so we figured, there's really no need to prepare that much food. We only had four dishes plus a bottle of fruit wine. The food lasted for two days and we were both happy, which was what mattered the most. Anyway, we just want to share here the four simple dishes we had on Christmas Eve. We won't be sharing the recipes of our two favorites at this time (the pasta and the lamb chops) because they're very special and taste sooooo good that someday, we might be able to make a living out of it, who knows?! Do check out our video blog on Christmas Eve.

My Zoobic Diet

We went to Zoocobia and Zoobic last weekend for free! Wee! And as part of the tour, we were also provided with lunch and dinner. Not that I was expecting an ostentatious display of exotic food, but I was hoping for something more... delectable. After all, we did walk a lot and it was so very tiring. Oh well. Thank God for the yummy Sisig Siopao breakfast we had at 7-11 that morning, at least I wasn't that hungry.

But anyway, I was happy with what they served us. For lunch, there was a mini buffet of ham, eggs, salad, toasted bread, juice and french fries. It was enough to keep our strength up. It just didn't go well with the time of day. This meal is more of a breakfast than lunch. I was hoping for adobo or kaldereta. Hehehe. Peace!

For dinner, I started salivating the moment I saw the waiters handing out Chicken Inasal to the other people we were with. Unfortunately, by the time they got to us, there was only fried pork left. Blech! I personally don't like pork and this one wasn't really particularly tasty. Oh well. Gotta be thankful for free food. At least, I didn't feel so bloated that my Zoobic getup actually felt quite loose after the trip. Hehehe. Peace!
