Weekend & Treats
March is a favorite wedding month in the region. There were several invitations, most of which we did not attend due to time constraints and location; one was from a niece vacationing from the other side of the pond. This week, two were in our neighborhood. We missed the church ceremonies, but we graced the parties, at least. The recent one was yesterday.
After that, we bought ice cream on our way home. We were excited to dig into it, but upon opening, we were somewhat dismayed because it was obvious the content had melted before and then was frozen again.
It doesn't make it less of an ice cream, noh? So, we enjoyed it and satisfied our cravings.
Later in the afternoon, another treat found its way to our table. My nephew arrived and brought a box of locally made buko pie, one we had wanted to taste but was always sold out each time we passed by the shop.
The picture on the packaging looked mouthwatering.
Taa-daa! Here's the real thing. "Where is the crust?" the Farmboy was in disbelief.😅 "Look under. It might be there," I laughed.
Then we had one slice each, followed by another, then one more. Oh well, sometimes we judge too soon.
We thought it would taste similar to those from the Viscayas, but I tell you, it was by far the yummiest buko pie we have had in a while.
The cheese toppings were a delight to the taste buds. The husband liked it a lot. And you may have guessed, the box was empty in no time. Happy tummies, yay!
Then we drove to the other town, where I spent the night with Mom. She no longer cringes in pain but prays someone will come to take her soon, for she knows not the way. It is heartbreaking to see her so frail and sick, but I always put on a brave face in their midst. It's challenging, but I did not want to fall apart when everyone almost did...

Para ngang napakasarap Ng buko pie sis😁 parang ordinary buko pies Lang Yung MgA nakita KO dati. Yan parang pizza na.
Sad to hear about your mother. Baka Yun na Lang naisip nyang way to escape the pain at makapagpahinga na Rin.🙁.
Masarap sya sis, dumaan kami kahapon para bumili pero naubusan ulit kami, lol!
Ganon nga siguro, sis. Hirap din talaga ng kalagayan nya. Minsan, nagpraypray na lang ako na sana, kung time nya pagpahingahin na sya.😢
Ice cream and pie... Such a nice combination ✨
It sure is! Maybe try it and let me know what you think, hehe😁
Here we also have the wedding season from November to march lol. Your ice cream is delicious but the pie also makes me laugh where the crust 😁
!LUV 💕
Oh, sounds like these months are filled with celebrations over there. I wonder how many weddings have you attended this month hehe
I attended a wedding in December 😁
Buko pie with cheese sounds amazing! I've never tried that combination. I'd love to find it here, or perhaps try making it myself.
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she feels better soon.
Making it yourself would be an adventure :)
Thank you for your thoughts on my Mom, Cindee. 🙏
Ice-cream frozen multiple times, typical of supermarkets
What's buko?
It must sure be hard, I hope I never have to pass through what you do, I don't think I could resist
Ah, so that happens there too?
Buko is our local term for young coconut.
It's hard and it takes every ounce of my energy to be honest. Even my father who used to have an indomitable spirit is breaking down.
Yeah it can even happen with fridge products so you find mold in yogurts
I think the main issue is that it's like endless, you don't end up a day with it sorted out, it lasts forever and that slowly worn out
I am just regretting why I read the post. I see the food and ice-cream in picture and that made me hungry but I am fasting. I don't know why I read post in the wrong time.
!PIZZA
Oops, I'm sorry but not sorry !LOL
I hope you didn't break your fast because of the pictures.

The buko pie looks delicious. I havent had buko pie in a long time.
It was very tasty. Hope you get one soon :)
hahahaha I laughed at the phrase “It doesn’t make it less of an ice cream”
The taste was affected but it was still ice cream, !LOL

I can see that your husband loves it a lot
The pie delighted our taste buds so the box was emptied soon😁
