We started the day by going to Church, and thanked the Lord for another week, hopefully a week full of blessings and wonderful experiences. It's so nice that this week started with a special occasion. After hearing Mass, we went to Greenbelt 5 to check out my dream LV bag as well as what's new. The LV bag I'm salivating over is not yet here, so I added myself to the waitlist. More of this issue here. Hopefully I will be "allowed" by my husband to get another splurge item. *Cross fingers*
Then we had lunch at our MIL's house. Of course, Eanna was the life of the party. She's just too cute that even if she cried when her godmother carried her, she still looked so adorable, my SIL (the godmother) still tried (and succeeded). Before we went home I went to the store to buy my little angel her pack of nappies. Surely I wouldn't want her to run out of these (milk being the first one I don't want her to run out of!).
Now I'm here in my parent's place, waiting for them to get dressed in time for a special Mother's Day Dinner in Crowne Plaza... Food again right?
Yes, food again. Just yesterday I was so tired of eating (do you?) that by dinner time, I refused to take anything heavy, just this simple salad I "created." Since I haven't seen a recipe similar to what I did, can I name this Van's Salad?
Anyway, here it is...
Van's Salad
Serving for 1
Ingredients
A bunch of greens (I used Sunsweet Hydrophonic Baby Romaines)
2 artichoke hearts
1 cup of scallops (big one preferably, but since I didn't have this, I made do with the small ones)
3 parts good extra virgin olive oil
1 part organic Balsamic vinegar
Salt
Pepper
Sear the scallops in a very hot pan and set them aside. Don't overcook them!
In a bowl, toss in the greens. Tear the artichoke hearts into smaller pieces and add them into the bowl. Add the scallops. Drizzle the oil and blasmic vinger. Don't put too much balsamic vinegar as this will overpower the artichoke's flavor and the sweetness of the scallops. Salt and pepper to taste.
I tell you, this salad is really lovely. If you will serve this to others, just double or triple or quadruple the amount. Better yet, eyeball it and taste it to be sure. Try it!

I think the baghag aka Ingrid Go has your dream bag. I just saw a post on chuvaness and they were looking at her new stupendously expensive bag. Si CVS naman got the Prada Fairy bag which I really found beautiful.
