For the past few weeks I have been craving for a really good hamburger, I guess it started more than a month ago during the trial shoot of the N90 in the swimming pool when Louie took us to this hamburger joint called WHAM! for our lunch, I swear those hamburgers were one of the best burgers that I've had in my life. They were huge 1/3 pounds of pure beef goodness, the damn thing couldn't even fit in my mouth, but man were they yummy! So today, when I saw
Brothers Burgers, I knew that it was a decent enough place to satisfy this hamburger craving of mine. I ended up ordering the very pricey Angus Burger at 220php a pop which was despite not being as huge as the Brothers Pounder was as the counter guy said, "Taste really different from our regular burger". With that kind of sales pitch, the carnivore in me just had to try it. With such good meat being used, I should have kept my burger plain & simple in order to savor the actual taste, but I couldn't resist not adding on the sauteed mushroms & glazed onions & of course the garlic cream cheese spread. When my order was finally called, I was disappointed to find that the meat wasn't quite as tender as I would have liked, I think that they cooked it a bit too long which made the meat a bit tough, but inspite this the burger did smell wonderful & the meat definitely had a lot of flavor. The important thing is it really hit the spot! I'm planning to go back next time & order a regular burger together with another Angus Burger and do an actual taste comparison.
Here is the thanksgiving feast that I had been slaving over since 9am. I made 2 turkeys, 2 pecan pies, & the mashed potatoes w/ parmesan cheese, the clam chowder soup was made by the cook while my aunt Judy made her own wholewheat french bread which we spread with garlic butter. Everything was all GOOD!!!
This is my first attempt at making pie, and I must say the results of my Pecan Pie were just purrrfect!!! Thanks to Judy (filling) & Melanie(crust) for sharing their recipes with me.
Of all the unlikely places to catch my first ever glimpse of "Madame" in the flesh, had to be at a church where I had gone for a relatives wake. It was almost 10pm and we were on our way home, when my aunt caught sight of her standing by the entrance, I quickly took out my N90 to shoot some video, unfortunately because of the low lighting conditions the phone couldn't manage to pick up an image of her. I have truly failed the Great Manolo.
The holiday season at the mall is in full swing with the huge wreaths hanging all over the place. Had to search high and low for a suitable dress to wear for the cocktail event next month.
