As we say hello to 2012, I’m sure we are all excited to welcome it with a bang!
When I was younger, I remember our family would prepare lots of foods, lucky charms and fireworks and follow almost all the rituals in welcoming the New Year.
But since 2 years ago, we stopped buying firecrackers and would just watch our neighbor's fireworks display. It is safer and cost-effective. And all we got to do is prepare lots of foods -- yummy and colorful foods! :)
I made some of our colourful main dishes such as Spaghetti in Chunky Tomato with Basil sauce, Sweet and Sour Pork, Fried Fish Fillet with 2 choices of sauce – cream of tartar or lemon and butter sauce.

| Funny yang Cream of tartar, alam ko gawin before pa di ko lang alam yung tawag. hahah! |
My mom prepared her favourite Caldereta and Steamed Shrimps – all red, perfect for to welcome the New Year! (pampaswerte :p )
For our dessert, Charmaine did the fruit salad, kuya bought the cassava cake and ate lara for the strawberries with cream.
 |
| Strawberries were super fresh from Baguio. :) |
When the clock was about to turn at 12mn, we immediately performed rituals or pamahiin for the event like, opening and exposing our wallets and bags, hanging 7 pieces of grapes, jumping, making noise and of course, the EATING TIME!
 |
| And definitely, the 12 round fruits completes our table! |
I know this entry came very late, but since it’s Better Late Than Never, I wanna say ...
Happy Happy New Year and may we all have a joyful and fruitful 2012 !! :)
