It is of normal occurrence that my Grandma's birthday falls on the week of Holy Week. On Holy Monday, we celebrated her 81st birthday .
On the morning of Good Friday, we were at the airport to pick up my uncle who vacationed in the Phils for a few days.
From the airport, we drove back to their place where my Husband and I spent the whole day catching up with our relatives as we enjoyed eating Baked Salmon, Ginataang Hipon with Kalabasa for lunch and dinner and homemade Turon for afternoon snack.
Black Saturday, since our goal is to have a more relaxing weekend with less household and cooking chores, we decided to have breakfast at one of our favorite cafes. We arrived at the cafe early to avoid the morning crowd and to have a more peaceful breakfast. We just shared a slice of toasted banana bread as we sipped our cups of Choffee.
Back at home for lunch, I cooked half a kilo of Green King Prawns in butter and garlic, dipped in Calamansi sauce. It was fresh and delicious, with a taste of sweetness.
For dinner, we had Blue Swimmer Crabs, again dipped in Calamansi sauce. Another winner. It's so fat, we were so full after devouring them.
On Easter Sunday, we all trooped down to church to attend mass, then went straight to Prospect Reservoir for our Easter Lunch party.
Every year, someone wears the Easter bunny costume and we have our photos taken with the "bunny".
Other than chit chat, laugh and eat, we also played Bingo!
We went home happy and well-spent with lots of chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies in tow.
