Media Noche

We really aren't the type of family who takes the effort to cook and eat at midnight, so usually, we just eat the foods given by the neighbors. This year was different... seeing lots of pictures from friends taken on Noche Buena made me jealous a bit, so I asked the family if we could prepare foods for Media Noche, too!

Brother cooked fish lumpia and prepared the fillings for tacos (the tomatoes and cabbage were still being prepared when this was shot) while mom made fruit salad. Our neighbor Ria was home alone for New Year's Day, so she celebrated it with us. She cooked penne pasta and pizza. Some of the foods here were given by the other neighbors.

It was indeed great to share the first meal of the year with the family. Happy New Year to all!
