Hubby's Preference for our Future Abode

Last week, my Engineer cousin texted me if i can send to his email the ideas (design) so he can give it to his friend Architect. The construction is still on process and my cousin is now doing the plan of the extension on the back part of our house because we need to send the blue print plan for developer's approval.

I posted last month my design preference from Ikea (Click here to see what are my preference) and after looking for another set of design. Hubby showed his design preference to me. We combine the photos so the Architect will have an idea of what design we want.


Here's hubby's preference:


Living Room

He want the design less the plant but i think mas maganda yung napili ko. hehe


Kitchen

Its almost the same with my design but hubby want a combination of red and white color. In Ikea design, the kitchen that i want is in white color.


Countertop and Dining Room

Remember the sliding door in Ikea living room? We'll have that and instead of wall we want the countertable to be placed in that corner near the dining table, just like in this photo. 


Entertainment Room

We will extend the front part to have this, this area will be across Tami's room. We want modern design terrace and this space will lead to terrace. The ground part of the terrace will be the car garage.


Master's bedroom bathroom

This is adjacent to our walk-in closet. The bowl would be across the lavatory and we both want that glass for the shower.


Walk-in Closet

Etong-eto yung design na gagawin samin because the size fit the space. So its like on the right part would be the bathroom and the left part is the walk-in closet. Door is in the middle.


What do you think?

Afternoon Delight ----> DIY Schublig Sandwich


If you know me, you know that i dont know how to cook since before, all my life i never had the chance to stay in the kitchen to cook. Now that i have my family i try my very best to learn how to cook and make dishes that are not very common. Some of my best are: Lechon Kawali, Pork Sisig, Tempura and Baked Tahong. I know its easy to some but for me, ang tagal kong minaster yan! hehe

There's a saying that "A way to a man's heart is thru his stomach", pero siguro its not true because in our case, if this is true malamang matagal na kong iniwan ng asawa ko. haha

Sometimes i do experiment like yesterday afternoon. I bought Cheese Pandesal in our nearby bakery in our office. Its one of my fave bread in the bakery. Cheese Pandesal is the common pandesal twice the size of an ordinary one and this has palaman already which is the cheese. I look for some ingredients in the fridge and decided to make Schublig Sandwich.


The Ingredients aside from the Cheese Pandesal:

Sausage

I have 2 kinds of Sausage in the fridge and i like the Schublig more for a sandwich. In case i make sandwich again this afternoon, ill try the Hungarian naman.


Mayonnaise

This will make the sandwich complete.


And my DIY sandwich turned out like this:


Our Schublig Sandwich

Since the sausage is too big for the cheese pandesal, i sliced it in the middle to make it two. Ok ba ang naisip ko? :)


Our afternoon merienda wouldn't be complete without this:

Soda

Hubby liked my DIY Schublig sandwich...


How about you? Any DIY sandwich to share para ma-try ko rin..



SM Center's Cafe France

Last Sunday, hubby mentioned that he will join Tami and me in doing grocery at SM Center. We leave the house at 4pm because i have to go to BDO and deposit some moolah and update my dollar account. While i was in line in BDO, hubby and Tami went to play house (Tom's World ba yun?) and play together then went to grocery after doing my bank errands. After doing our grocery, we also decided to have an early dinner before going to my in-laws house para ihatid si Tami.

Cafe France is a good place to have some coffee and light snacks. I heard that Cafe France is the previous Delifrance, is this true? If it is, i associated Delifrance with variety of breads, sandwiches and the baguette and now, Cafe France offers heavy meals so its time to try their meals.


Cafe France counter

From the counter we saw two meals offer: the Roast Chicken and the Pork Steak. Unfortunately the Pork is not available so hubby go with the Roast Chicken.

Pasta Counter

I was about to order the Carbonara but hubby requested the Lasagna for us so he can taste the Cafe France Lasagna. He don't want to eat Carbonara anymore because it was her mom's specialty and i am proud to say that its one of the best Carbonara that i have tasted.


View from where we sat.


I requested water first because of Tami.. Ang cute nung glass no?


After waiting for a couple of minutes, our orders started to arrive:

Iced Tea Lemon for Tami and Cafe Latte Hot for me


Mocha Frappe for Hubby


Roast Chicken

Presentation is ok but nothing fantastic about it. According to hubby, chicken is soft and the gravy is not that salty. Just like any ordinary meal.


Lasagna

Cafe Frances' Lasagna is not that awesome as i want it to be, siguro kung mas maraming cheese mas masarap to and the garlic bread is not that soft, parang bubble gum lang, gets? I guess its not worth the P200.00 price.


According to him, his mocha frappe is good as well as our drinks.


All in all, our early dinner was ok. Not too good but enough to fill our tummy.
