Vacations, celebrations and birthdays in Ilocos always start with the story of food.
Here is Betsy IV before being taken to the slaughter house. Betsy is given the best of table scraps weeks before the celebration to ensure the fat and meat content are A-okay.
Here is Betsy now in her final glory- an act of self sacrifice. Now the conversation piece of the buffet.
And the birthday girl, Rose, ever glowing.
With the equally gorgeous Suzette:)
The kitchen abuzz with the prep.
Ever reliable old kitchen.
All ready now.
Take note, May 8 was also the same day as Pacquio's fight vs Mosley. Auntie Rose still packed the house with guests and well wishers. After the food and the fight, the house was quiet again.
