Thankful for another weekend and a week long break ahead. Hooray! As much as I want to spend the entire week in another place, the budget doesn't permit. Heehee Like the usual weekends, I will stay home, read my pile of paperbacks, late night movie marathons and great meals with my family. Later this afternoon, my cousin invited me to their house for a possible barbecue party.
Before I embrace the week long break, let me share the few beautiful things that made my week.
I was able to watch our school's basketball game. We lost the game in overtime but it was a great way to escape work and support the school.
Trick or treat at the workplace! This only happens once a year. Kids hopping to every office in their cutest costumes.
I found a new place for cheap and great Persian meals.
It was my friend T who introduced me to Keema, Kebab and all those juicy beefy Persian meals. My favorite has to be Grilled Tomato which unfortunately ceased operations. Last Friday, I dragged my friend A to try this Persian chain in SM Manila. It was one of those foodie attempts I will never regret. I found a new home for cheap and tasty Persian meals.
Onion and garlic chips, potato chips and a bowl of Beef Sinigang
Best about these treats, I shared them with the family over a great TV show.
A bucket of locally flavored ice cream that never fails to make everyone in the family happy.
Finally, a jar of Lotus Biscoff! My family enjoyed Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter. We loved it although most of my friends are saying that the Crunchy Cookie Butter is better. I haven't found a cheaper and nearer reseller ;) so I decided to try Lotus' version available at Healthy Options. (Thanks for the tip Lea) I tried a few scoops and like what I always say, I now have bragging rights for the experience. Haha Biscoff is another item in my growing list of foodie favorites.
My current read! Scored this for only Php 180 at Booksale. I heard a lot of great reviews and the movie adaptation. Hopefully, this will be a great read.
Wishing everyone a great Sunday!

Hi Diane!
ReplyDeleteglad you're having a week off - you deserve it :)
I have Kite Runner in my pile and looking forward to reading it! I have never eaten Persian food before! Hope it was good :) I have a craving for chips, now that I've seen yours!!
Have a wonderful week my friend and namemate. I see the word on the front cover that I was going to use for this book....powerful! You won't forget it. Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteI have read all three of Hosseini's novels and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Thanks for your recent follow of my book review blog, good to have you aboard.
ReplyDeleteOh I am crazy about Speculoos, spread form or biscuit forms, they both are yummy :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked the movie version of the Kite Runner, even though I did not read the book. Khaled Hosseini's Ten Thousand Splendid Suns moved me so much!
Cookie Spread? I haven't heard about this before, but I'm sure it's delicious! Sounds like you had a great week and I hope you enjoy your much needed break:-)
ReplyDeletei have tried biscoff cookies but haven't tried the spread. i'll buy a jar just for the experience. :)
