Leo's Breakfast Birthday

I wanted to cook Leo breakfast for his birthday this year. He turned 25 last Sunday. I had him choose a day of the week when he was free at 7am-ish at my house. Leo was in. Tuesday morning he said. I enlisted KC's help of course, she's the resident cook and I her faithful assistant :)

We decided on a Menu:

KC's famous hash browns with Cheese Sauce
Portobello Mushroom, Bell Pepper and Cheese Omelet
Bacon and Rice
Pancakes
Fresh Mango Juice

My assignment was the Omelet, Pancakes and Mango Juice.
I chose Portobello Mushrooms, Bell Peppers, Tomatoes and Mozzarella because they all fit in my diet. I just sauteed all the vegetables in a bit of olive oil with garlic and set them aside. I beat 8 eggs, added some fresh milk then salt and pepper to taste and put the egg mixture in a teflon pan. I added the vegetables after a while and then the cheese. I was afraid that the top wasn't getting cooked and i had a hard time folding it so I decided to put the pan in the oven like a fritata. I worked even better-- the eggs were so yummy :) Kilig nanaman ako. Sorry guys, Im just really so happy when my cooking is actually edible-- I end up eating so much-- I know it's bad. I should stop cooking altogether.

When I saw Chief at Kirin, I also invited him to breakfast because he'd been sick and we haven't seen him in ages. Glad he was able to make it.

Leo ran late, he had to drop by a gas station for work before coming over. Kace had to leave for an early 8 am meeting and didn't get to see Mr. Cabredo. We called Mitch who lives around the corner from me-- told her to get her ass out of bed "Wag ka na maligo" and come over! The food was good, nothing too heavy-- and the company was great. I was able to get the best work advice from the serious screws. It really really fueled me to work more. It was really just a great morning with great company. Mornings like these are not to be forgotten and must be repeated :)

Happy Birthday Mr. Cabredo-- Cheers to all the great things coming your way this year :) Ms. Tugegarao, Watch out for Leo :)

Again, I forgot to take pictures of all the food because I had too much fun when it started.
