I'm still thinking about the delicious fundraising
dinner event for the
Canadian Red Cross for the victims of
typhoon Haiyan that I attended this past weekend. Artist
Gene Pendon, brother Dave Pendon and their uncle Ed orchestrated a Filipino menu that tasted almost like my mother made it
...almost. The awesome volunteer kitchen and wait staff at
the Sparrow hustled-to say the least-to fulfill the orders of the packed restaurant/bar that has probably never seen so many adorable kids underfoot. Cue to this sibling pair pictured above, with their t-shirts emblazoned with a classic dish: the
chicken adobo. If you are not vegetarian, please, please,
try this dish, so simple, so deeeelish.

Ok, serious stuff:
Climate change is real, freak storms are becoming the norm.
Yeb Sano is still fasting. Food for thought.
