In our chat group, we discussed which restaurants we’d like to dine at, and Mom Violy has been eager to try the all-you-can-eat lobster her best friend recommended at Solaire. Carmina took charge of making the reservation through Solaire's Resort  website and asked the family which seating time they preferred, choosing between two options with different time frames. Carmina registered it under Mom Violy's name and phone number. She received an email for our confirmation, and a week beforehand, a reminder was sent to Mom Violy's mobile to confirm if we were going ahead or not.

Sweet Potato with Artichoke Salad Recipe

We often see people make potato salad and having small sweet potato around. I decided since they both are being grown from the ground why not try something new. Only difference I had added something else to my sweet potato salad rather using chicken that we normally add on to our potato salad.

Zagana Farm to Kitchen

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asking Manang V to include some of my vegetables on her list whenever the kitchen runs out. Every time Carmina notices the kitchen is restocked with vegetables, she asks Manang V about it. Manang V always apologizes, saying she keeps forgetting about my vegetables. Eventually, Carmina got tired of waiting and decided to buy them online through Grab Mart. Sometimes, it just seems easier to do things yourself rather than rely on others. Carmina was looking for camote, broccoli, asparagus, and avocado to have at home. I was able to find it at  Zagana Farm to Kitchen  one shop drop on whatever you need. Camote Red 500 grams PHP 36.00 ($0.75) Camote Orange 500 grams PHP 36.00 ($0.75) Broccoli 1 kilo gram PHP 273.00 ($5.69) Asparagus 250 grams PHP 184.00 ($3.83) Avocado 1 kilo grams PHP 225.00 ($4.69) Carmina will share in her upcoming article how she plans to enjoy all these vegetables and fruits with a recipe.
