To welcome our good friends who are back from the UK, we hosted a casual dinner for them and some of their friends who have become our good friends too
I always try to entertain and host at home. I brag about my cook, Edna, who does wonders for me. As Suharto says, I just make the menu and my cook executes everything else. I am so blessed to have her. Edna was a cook of my Tita Vicky and she told us that her specialty is Paella Negra and Sisig! IT IS TRUE! So ever since i hired her 9 years ago, she has been serving that to my friends! So many have tried these dishes. She makes everything from scratch.
Iberian Chicken ** Paella * Paella Negra* Calamares
Sisig!! Not a Spanish dish but can go with the other dishes :-)
Believe me, this is the BEST SISIG EVER!! Very unhealthy so we have it only when friends come over..and only because I am proud of my cook!
It is so crunchy and crispy, it really comes in a sizzling plate! YUMMY!!!!
