1. To our first christmas together! Our first Noche Buena.  This term is actually Spanish for “Good Night” referring to the Christmas Eve.  Traditionally in the Philippines, Noche Buena is a feast that comes at midnight after the family has attended the late evening Christmas Eve Mass.  Skipping the evening mass as we are not Catholics, we went straight to the feast.  Instead of eating at 12 midnight, we ate from 8pm to well past midnight!  JM said he never had a noche buena before, so he had lots of catching up to do, food-wise! Hence, ta-dah!! My six-course noche buena.

    Pan-fried Steak with white wine mushroom sauce, Caesar Salad on the side

    Pan-fried lamp chops with mint jelly

    Waldorf Macaroni Salad

    Chicken-and-Beef Lasagna

    Roasted Rosemary Chicken with Baked Potatoes

    Banoffee Pie
