30 October

Hors d’ oeuvres…

If we won’t be out of the country on 3rd week of November, I would definitely attend this.  Perfect as we are always playing hosts for parties and I want to make delictable hors d’ oeuvres to impress our guests especially this holiday season…

Taken from Enderun website. Check out their other short courses…

Sumptuous party food never ceases to make gatherings livelier and lovelier. Though they are meant to be served before the main course, these finger foods are no doubt as delectable and stimulating as full meals.

“Laid out on a row of platters, hors d’oeuvres must scream for attention and make people’s mouths water. In a single bite, they should manage to please the palate and tease it at the same time. What I will teach you are these, but simple enough to give you time to prepare for the big soiree.”

-Chef Vanessa Conanan

Ready to send out…

my business greeting cards to my suppliers and colleagues. Got to send it out early as you know, our postal service may cause some delays. Besides from that, I was able to get it at discounted price as well. Next week would be time already to search for nice giveaways of my company for this year. I have been thinking on what to give. Any suggestions? I want something unique so I really need to start looking for a valuable item. Aside from that, would also be busy buying gifts for our family and friends. I am starting a little late again because I’m just overwhelmed with my work. I should atleast start to hit the malls again to find perfect presents to all those on my list.
