Celebrating Lucas Birthday

The family celebrated the 70th birthday of Lucas for two days.
On July 11, 2010, my husband and I and the children attended Sunday mass at 8:30AM. Then we proceeded to Tagaytay for lunch. We went to Tagaytay purposely to eat at Antonio's. It was a fine dinning place with an old Filipino ambiance that's very captivating. I was wistfully thinking how I could have a place built like this in Cotabato. Antonio's fine dinning surely it was! It took us almost three hours to finish our lunch from 12pm to three! And we didn't even feel the time lapsed by. We ate our meal course slowly from the salad, to the soup, to the main entree and to the dessert enjoying the food presentation and plating as it was served to us in good intervals. The cost of the lunch was pricey too but we don't get to have and enjoy this kind of celebration everyday. This was a special celebration for a special person!!!
On July 12, 2010, I woke up before 6 am to personally cook a birthday breakfast of longlife noodles and hard boiled eggs for Lucas and the family to eat. Everybody partook and enjoyed the longlife food heartily before they set out to work!
In the evening, the family hosted a dinner at Chef Laudico Bistro at Bonifacio High. We invited the Tan's and the Ledesma relatives to a unique supper which my son Emil requested Chef Laudico and his wife Chef Jackie to prepare for us. It was an "order all you want and eat all you can" clean plate dinning. But I guessed the chefs did not anticipate the eating capabilities of the Ledesma clan specially of the young ones. They ordered and ate almost all the food that was in the menu! I was happy that everybody ate to his heart's content! Hahaha! Happy Birthday Lucas!!! And more birthdays and blessings to come!!! Lots of love!!!  From your loving wife, Heddy
