Katrina's Party!

Saturday January 31st @ 11am was Katrina’s baby shower party! Charyn and I hosted the baby shower games, Katrina’s Mom cooked Filipino food like: caldereta, kare-kare, chopsuey, pork humba, dinuguan, pancit, bola-bola they are all good! Jannette and Cecille bought the cake, Cheryl made a macaroni Salad and Zim made “puto” and orange chicken! When the game starts everyone was excited to play, they all enjoyed the game and I can tell that everyone had a good time! James and I left @ 3:30pm to buy and make “Kinilaw” for Vu’s Retirement party (Katrina’s husband) his party was for 6pm the same day. So went to Viet Hoa again to buy fresh fish, went home, put the girls to sleep while James did the “kinilaw” ingredients preparations. 7:30pm we arrived at Vu and Katrina’s house, we grilled pork on Katrina’s stove and the fire was almost out of control! The fire alarm went on and poor Zim, I think she got burned a little on her right risk, she was the one who transferred the burning foil into the kitchen sink, good thing we were able to put out the fire.

The party went on, the pork was cooked and added to our “kinilaw” and to make it spicy tasty Zim added some “sili” on the “kinilaw” and hmmm it was sooooooo good, we eat it Philippines style, just with our bare hands, imagining we are all out at the beach, with our sexy bathing suit. Noemi made some good margarita and shared all her jokes, she is so funny! At 10:30pm we headed home, because I have a tennis game for 7:30am the next day and another party to attend.

What a night full of laughers and excitement! Another fun memory (specially the fire incident) to share on our next “kinilaw” gathering!
