The Return of Gingerbread Man

My wife decided to baked some cookies (just for fun), preparing and making alone is a drag if you don't have the mood... so is helping... :P

Cookies in the baking process

Fresh out from the oven

All in the container

Cookies in negative mode



Apart of making the conventional cookies that we normally see, we (me and her brothers) decided to have some fun with it...

Christmas Eve Gathering

We have a lovely gathering during the night of Christmas Eve in my in-laws house, they have invited the church members and my family for the gathering. The foods are absolutely great and everyone enjoyed it very much.

First off, we have our normal barbeque food such as salad, grill chicken, hot dogs, some local delicacies and etc... But one of the highlight was a dish prepared by my in-laws called "Paella" Yes, it's called Paella... and I'm pretty sure that's how it spelled :D At first I thought is some kind of Indian food but my in-laws said it was actually a Spanish dish...

If you did not click on the link above, here's what Wiki explained about Paella
Paella is a typical Valencian rice dish, traditionally eaten on Sundays. The name paella is the word for "frying pan" in Valencian (from Latin patella).

Paella is usually garnished with vegetables and meat or seafood. The three main ingredients are rice, saffron, and olive oil.

Well here's some pictures that will speak for themselves :D

The cooks are preparing the food, don't worry, their nose are clean ;)
