For the last 35 years, we have always spent Christmas day at the house of my Lola!  I look forward to this tradition annually as it really makes me feel what Christmas is all about.  My Lola loves to cook, even to this day, at the fabulous age of 90! She still hovers around her kitchen, trying new things that she learned from her cooking class.

This portrait of my Lola Betty was done by Fernando Amorsolo. I love this painting so very much! She is just the most elegant woman I know.

This year is very special as she turned 90! Her birthday falls on the 26th and we had a grand celebration for her. I really enjoyed the food she and my Tita Ditas prepared.  It was a lunch filled with nostalgia, from the Paella, in which the recipe has been handed down from generations, to the Lentejas (lentil soup), to the white fish with caper sauce, it really was nothing short of wonderful!

At 90, my lola is stunning!

Nix with my Lola Betty.

My Lola's Paella! This got consumed in 5 minutes flat.

White fish with caper sauce and Chicken Galantina!

The festive table setting!

Tita Ditas prepared some food for the gods and it was so good that my Lola Lydia went nuts trying to eat them all! LOL!

Lola with me and Nix for a quick portrait!

I assume all of us did their own share of feeding this season!  LOL!  No worries!  It’s Christmas and we can now begin to think of ways on how to lose all those extra pounds!  Any suggestions?  Mine will be simple! Not to eat so much and get thee to the Bikram Yoga studio!  See you soon!

HUGS!

RAJO!
