🌞Everyday, I greet👋 GOD☝️ as soon as I 😵awake😲 and right before I go to 😴sleep💤 plus any moment in between. As I welcome His presence by opening my window 🌅shades🌇 to bring in the 🌈sunlight☀️, I simply pray🙏
This is the day the LORD has made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
I love to wake up to Sweet Annie from slumber and cat naps! 😻
Then throughout the day, I’ll pray before 💻working🎤, 🍕eating🍧 and 🚘traveling✈️. Prior to 🍱meals🍮, I have series of prayer💒 cards, yet I have a couple that are short and sweet…
GOD is good, GOD is great.
Let us thank Him for this food. AMEN.
- Also, another traditional one:
Bless us O LORD, for these thy gifts, which we are about to receive, from thy bounty, through CHRIST our LORD. AMEN.
Panoramic Park POV 🌳
- Following the 🍜feast🍰, I also pray:
We give thee thanks to the Almighty GOD, who lives and reigns forever, and to the souls of the faithful departed, Rest In Peace. AMEN.
Our Groundhog pal also approached us for apples! 🐒
Once I’m about to hit the 🌆sack🌄, my bedtime prayers include the 🌹Rosary💍 and these from my childhood:
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the LORD, my soul to keep…
- Guide me, JESUS, through the night, and wake me with the morning light. AMEN.
- If I should die before I wake, I pray the LORD, my soul to take. AMEN.
Thank you for another blessed day, LORD!

Happy Friday the 13th!
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is where it’s at!
We’re never too old to need our mothers ~ so if they’re still with us, then let’s be grateful!
Add freshly-squeezed OJ to the mix for Vitamin C to combat the cold, and I’ve got it made in the shade!
My own ♥Mommy Aya♥ came through for me during my cold that took its toil and my voice this ♣Spring Break♣.
As a retired Registered Nurse after over 4½ decades, my Nanay attended to me for the first time since I was a child!
Chocolate = the perfect cure to cheer me up, in the form of my mom’s Nutella brownies!
I think that my need to be put on bed rest (while my ♥A&A♥ held vigil by my bedside) was †GOD†‘s way of telling me to slow my roll …
Despite my week ☼off☼ from teaching and tutoring, I had still been on-the-go in the recent wintry weather with my traveling, researching, reporting and photographing!
This juicer doubles as a pitcher!
So much for tracking miles on a fun run or hitting the driving range … for now!

Texas Peach for me, Blackberry Bourbon for him
When we celebrated my buddy’s book being published this past week,
The jalapeño was more than the garnish to this Texas Peach ~ it added the kick!
I had to have steak before Meatless Friday …
So I’ve had my share of Caesar Salads, but I liked the presentation on this square plate
And since we were in conference at Corpus Christi,
Surf ‘n’ Turf + *Loaded Baked Potato & Veggies for yours truly, Scallops with Lobster Cream Sauce & Butternut Squash for my friend
I might as well have Surf ‘n’ Turf!
It helps to have the fixings* on the side to limit my portions!
Water Street Seafood Company offered one of the best key lime pie that I’ve ever tried!
The raspberry drizzle was icing to this pie!
Lime was in the air, both at the beach and the hotel!
Key Lime: slice of Heaven!

I had a Starbucks Haul!
I stayed focused that day as I always †pray† everyday!

We celebrated ♥Valentine’s♥ Day one week early at the Country Club!
Salad Spread: I’m all about the greens, & pasta is my weakness!
As always, the food was good!
Country Club caters well! A little bit of everything, from veggies to meat.
And the drinks were as well!
Stella Artois: my usual import @ the Country Club
Not to mention the dessert!
Wine & Chocolate: my kind of centerpiece!

With last weekend being full of festivities, we were in great food and company! My LMT girl Lisa and her hubby hosted Fight Night (UFC main event: Anderson Silva post-2013 leg injury) on Super Bowl Sunday Eve! Then I watched the Big Game with my Papa Jun!
The commonalities between both meals were:
- pizza (Little Caesar’s & Pizza Hut)
- dip (Ranch & Nutella)
- oodles of noodles (post-fight & pre-game)
- veggies (fresh & roasted)
Fight Night Feast: {clockwise from top L} Little Caesar’s Pretzel Pizza from yours truly * fruit w/chocolate fondue made by yours truly (Nutella & Philadelphia Cream Cheese) * veggies w/Ranch dressing * slider sandwiches w/Dijon mustard, turkey & cheese (either Swiss or Munster)
Portion control: Lisa sliced the pizza into smaller pieces, so more could be up for grabs!
These slider sandwiches were a hit! Hands down: they scored a touchdown @ this table!
Fun fact: Did you know that you burn more calories than you consume when you munch on celery due to the crunch? Challenge accepted!
After the fruit was gone, a fellow cat mama & I turned to the carrots to dip into the chocolate!
Post-Fight: Rice Noodles w/meatballs ~ looks like this yummy bowl is Lisa‘s version of Pho!
Pre-Game: My Ramen w/Salsa + P.I. Cheese on Toast
Yes’sir, I AM the Ranch B*tch: from my salad to pizza (Supreme from the Hut)
Almond Joy Pie: filled w/Nutella but bittersweet due to the Seahawks’ SB loss
My Nanay satisfied my chili craving with this Super Bowl Southwestern-Style Chili Bowl! Maraming Salamat Po, Mommy Aya! Ma sarap!
Add cheese to the mix!
Dallop of Daisy: Add sour cream to the mix!
Add avocado to the mix!
Spoon ready to scoop ~ so ladle it on to lick!
Let’s double-dip those chips!
My mom went happy on kale, both in the chili & in these chips baked in EVOO + in this green drink complete con más avocado!
Again, Context Media Health has been on point, as if it’s been reading my mind ~ this time, about Black Beans & Avocados!

Happy National Croissant Day!!!
Also, with Mardi Gras on the way …
We still can eat, drink and be merry!
A moderate way to do it is through this mini croissant Cajun-style sandwich ~ simple yet savory!
Cajun Croissant Sandwich: Aren’t these mini croissants absolutely cute?
Snack-Happy!

I was fortunate enough to have another multi-course meal …
Roasted Garlic Hummus: Olive Garden’s Festa Italiana appetizer
This time, from mainstream and always yummy Olive Garden!
Risotto Bites: Olive Garden‘s Festa Italiana appetizer
What drew me here was the Festa Italiana ~ four course meal.
Asiago Tortelloni with Meat Sauce: my main course from Olive Garden‘s Festa Italiana
I grew up here, as Italian is my favorite food!
White Chocolate Strawberry Dolcini: my dessert from Olive Garden‘s Festa Italiana sweetens the deal ~ and to top it off, I had a discount!
When you’re here, you’re family!
