Art's cooking: May 2010

"The sweetest song fades to echo in the wind", lyrics from the song "It's just Goodbye". We said goodbye because we learned that our birthday girl Gwen will also be leaving for good to attend to her and hubby's children back in the Philippines.

So this is a birthday sans despedida celebration.

Well, ganon naman talaga. We, Filipinos here in the Kingdom, should always try to focus to what is more important. Syempre, the welfare of our children. Ika nga, what's the sense of trying hard to fulfill our material dreams kung di naman natin maisaayos ang kapakanan ng mga anak-anak natin (from the book, KAPENG ARABO).

So, to Gwen and hubby, we salute you in your decision.

Kunsabagay, pansamantala lang naman tayong lahat dito, di ba? wink! wink!

"It's just goodbye. Time is never our friend. Now, I'll tell you do not cry. 'Coz what we have will never die."

Here's Artscooking set-up during the occassion held last April 29 at Sheraton Al Nakheel.

The menu: Shrimp Casserolle, Pansit Malabon, Mixed Veggies with quail eggs, Mixed Seafood Fried Rice, Chicken with cashew nuts, Beef Menudo.
