I was saving my appetite the entire day and had this nicoise salad topped with spanish mackarel + another salad for Noche Buena. Because of all the parties that preceded, I didn't want to go overboard during Christmas eve! We had an early dinner and nothing else followed at midnight aside from the opening of gifts. Saving my appetite for New Years- we'll be celebrating with cousins by then. 

I've been wanting these for a long time and I finally got them for Christmas- the AIAIAI TMA-1 DJ Headphone with mic. They're the PERFECT matte black headphones! Couldn't find pretty ones here without those tacky logos popping out so my mum ordered from the website and had her best friend ship it from America. Thank you, mum and dad! They're my first pair and I love them.

holiday specials from 2nd's



I was invited to sample some of the Christmas specials from 2nd's last night and asked Lissa & Camille to try them with me... 2nd's is known for really great comfort food & an upscale dining experience so I was excited to see what they were adding to the menu. Really interesting flavors going on and sure enough, each dish really reminded me of Christmas!  

2nd's Holiday Specials
CHICKEN RELLENO ROULADE 
Chicken leg stuffed with sausage and roasted chestnuts. Served with potato & pumpkin dauphinoise, french beans, and peppercorn whiskey jus.

-Loved the potato & pumpkin dauphinoise! Cams said this was her favorite, too. 


2nd's Holiday Specials
CHRISTMAS HAM & QUEZO DE BOLA CROQUETAS

-Even if I had to take out the ham, this was still really tasty.
