This is how she celebrated her day.

When we are afflicted, regardless of the cause, we must see it as an opportunity to deepen our faith and trust even more in the Lord. - Didache

Patty Shell / Chicken Patty

 Chicken Patty is one of my all-time favorite homemade appetizers. I miss my Mom's version of this so I tried my own. My first attempt was completely a disaster but I nailed it on my fourth!

For the shell:

3 Cups of cake flour

2 Eggs

1 Cup water

1 Cup milk

3 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

Mix the ingredients into a bowl and stir until you achieve fine texture. You can add more water if the mixture is too thick.
You can buy the molder on eBay.

Deep fry until light brown. You can use strainer to remove excess oil.

For the toppings:

Butter

Evaporated milk

Nestle cream 

Salt

Ground pepper

Ground chicken

Carrots

Patato

Onions

Garlic

Mince the chicken, garlic, onions, carrots and potato.

Simply saute all the ingredients in butter using skillet. Add evaporated milk and nestle cream. Voila!

Let's lay at His feet all our problems and trust Him. He is not called Healer and Savior for nothing.-Didache, July 17, 2012

White Peplum

Summer is the time when you feel and look your most radiant.  You can display your simplest to the most ultra-glam summer dress. 

Recently, Dayne received gift card as a graduation present from the Estaris family. She opted to buy few summer pieces at Metrotown. Well, she knows that shopping is never  the best way to beat summer-based ennui. She's always reminded of our old Filipino saying maghigpit ng sinturon and we are lucky enough that she understands our present situation.

 Today, she grabbed her blouse with flared bottom hem also known as the peplum cut from H&M. Yes, peplum is back!

Happy birthday Daine! Enjoy the rest of your day!
