What better way to welcome every year is of course, with family, the people whom I love the most. After the traditional midnight countdown, watching awesome fireworks, flaring light firecrackers, making loud noises through favorite songs, hat-shaped hornpipes, giddy greetings, and let's not forget the jumping every year with a hope to grow taller (did you? 'cause I did! lol), and all the other new year stuff, you know what's next... Eating time: media noche! *woohoo* Pasta, barbecue, sopas, biko, macaroni, cake, and ice cream -- those were our midnight food. Just a simple salo-salo but very intimate, so memorable, can really be kept in our hearts forever. Fam, ily! Hihihi. This is one memorable media noche because, for the first time in forever, I am happy to say that I was able to cook something on my own. What was amazing, I got to do this on the last day of 2017. Last-minute plot twist, geez! Hahaha! Since we ate my spaghetti, the main course for our small feast, can that be my first highlight of the year as well? Hehe! I used to help my mother and sister in cutting and slicing, but never the cooking! Though sissy still guided me on the side, it was really me who prepared everything, and I'm proud! More so when they told me they liked it. Still on trial yet you know, it actually looked and tasted like McDonald's. Not kidding. I think I kinda had an idea about their recipe. I made a slight experiment and I happen to discover the same savor as McDo's. Mehee. Yay for this first dinner of the year with the fam, felt like I started my 2018 right! Media noche would always be treasured with the persons you are facing in the table. This banquet has been a routine that never failed to bind one's household intactly. My grandma cooked the soup reminding us about our warm hearts, grandpa grilled the meat saying to heat the year up, while sissy prepared the fruit macaroni salad saying that every little piece has a purpose, just like in life. Dishes like these would always be the greatest because they are worked from/to/by love. Plus, plus, plus, homemade meals are definitely the best! And since my post is already ending, I would also mention Ate's boyfie for giving ice cream and to my Love who brought a cake for us. Oh so sweet the future fam members, aren't they? Heheehe. Being together with the ones closest to you feels really nice. Whether it's just eating, talking, or just doing nothing, it gets super special because of the radiating souls who exchange positive aura for one another. Agree? Agree! Cheers to my super fam, to more meals and moments together! Thank you, God, for the gift of family! 💖 This spaghetti recipe is based on experience. No pun intended. Just happy 2018!
