I went to the market this morning to get the ingredients I need for tonight’s dinner. I also bought a sunflower to offset the rainy and gloomy weather. 😉

I cooked early because I planned to rest tonight. We all agreed not to wait until 12 midnight before we have our Christmas dinner. We finished eating around 9 tonight. We all prepared something and my contributions are shrimp with asparagus, garlic butter mushroom, and apple broccoli salad with vinaigrette. Aprub naman sa diet ni papa. 😊
