How to Cook Tuna?

Hubby went fishing a couple of weeks back and he caught a tuna. I was asking him how are we suppose to cook it?

Being me, the only way I know how to eat tuna is the way Japanese restaurants prepare it - raw or as sashimi. Since it was not fresh anymore, it was stored in an ice cooler during their travel time, it can no longer be prepared as sashimi.

So, I told him I'll look for a recipe. I completely forgot all about it!!!! Then tonight, my cook prepared it by frying it. Hmmm, hubby was frowning when he saw it. He said, what a waste in frying the tuna. I didn't say anything and I just tried how it tasted. Good thing it was tasty and passable. Whew, what a major boboo for me. Of course that's why I'm an undomesticated housewife.

I should really take note of these things. After 6 months of being a housewife, I'm slowly trying to learn the ropes.

Christmas Shopping...DONE!!!! (Part 1)

Guess what Ricky and I ended up doing, well as stated in my title we decided to start our Christmas shopping. Originally, we were planning to watch a movie but this somehow was forgotten because we got so engrossed in our Christmas shopping.

We agreed that we should finish shopping for the kids first. Since we have countless nieces, nephews, godsons, goddaughters, etc. in different ages, we thought this would be tougher and would need more time. We dropped by Toy Kingdom and bought everything there. It came with free gift wrapping so it was a major plus, plus for me.

We also came up with an idea to give educational board games or any board games for siblings. Especially the children of our friends, we bought one game board for each family. This way it was cheaper for us and at the same time we were able to give a really nice gift. For our godchildren, we had to give individual gift and there were a lot to choose from. All in all we bought 13 items for 18 kids. Not bad.....

Next would be for the adults which I think is easier because there are a lot of stuff to choose from. We're planning to finish everything within this week because realized that its already December by next week.

Time really flies....

Lola Day

Today was another "lola" (grandma) day for me with my good friend Tracy. Ha-ha, we call it our "lola" day because ever Saturday we always meet up either to go the gym, go to the parlor, shop, eat out and of course the never ending chismisan (chit-chat)....This is normally my day away from hubby....

I fetched her at around 2 pm and then we went to Rockwell to watch a Tagalog film "One More Chance". While she was paying for our tickets, I was buying our popcorn and drinks. Butter popcorn for her and cheese for me. I just looove cheese popcorn .

We really wanted to see this movie not because we were fans of the actor and actress but we are really suckers for any good old romance movie.. Overall this movie was great except for the ending. It was very realistic and not too cheezy which is very rare for Tagalog Romance Movies. It just goes to show that in any relationship, giving each other space or time to be alone as very important for it to last long. Controlling your partner will never work and will only lead to the other party being suffocated.

After the movie, we had our manicure and pedicure at Beauty Bar. Highly recommended at a very affordable price. I love seeing my nails so clean and buffed. I just miss having nail polish since this is one of the things my doctor prohibited me from using until I find one that's organic as well .

My quest to find new shoes is still futile. Oh well, there's always tomorrow...

Dinner time, met up with a couple of our friends and had our chika time. Went home at around 10 pm because I was a bit tired after waking up at 8 am for my blood test.

Tomorrow, Ricky and I will be having our usual date. Hmmm, I wonder where we'll be going ?

Oh Christmas Tree...

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree! How are thy leaves so verdant! O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How are thy leaves so verdant!

Yup its Christmas once again and what better way to start off the holiday season but by setting up the Christmas Tree and Christmas decors.

That's our tree...Yup, I just decorated it so I know it may not really look perfect but I'm happy how it turned out. My theme this year is still red and gold. Next year, I'm planning to change my theme into white and orange .

I also bought one Christmas decor that I fell in love with while browsing some stuff at Gourdo's. Its a singing Snowman family, promise they are really cute ...They are singing We Wish you a Merry Christmas while dancing
