Make Your Papa Proud

is the theme for our Father's Day Cooking Challenge.

This is the third cooking challenge of the Reantasos. First was the market basket among Orland, Ojay, Omar and Papa. Second was the ribs challenge of Orland, Ojay, and Omar with Kuya Olejoe. This third challenge was the funniest of all - because the contenders are the daughters-in-law who knew nothing about cooking.

We have to prepare pasta and fried chicken. We will have to bring our own ingredients. Husbands can help, but no coaching.

I came in earliest and Omar and I chose to cook at the back of the house - mas malamig.
But we will have to use uling in cooking our dish - from the noodles to the sauce to frying the chicken. Ang galing ni Omar, I even have low and high fire. Ang init nga lang, kita naman sa pawis ko sa picture. I prepared seafood pesto and fried chicken.
My other sisters--in-law came made-up. Di ko naisip mag-make up, for sure marami nga pa lang picture taking. Oh well, sayang din ang make-up kung tagaktak din pawis ko.

Mama even prepared pins for us.
Yang got the best pasta. I got the best chicken. Carla got the over-all champion. Everybody's a winner. Mama gave an heirloom bracelet for a prize and Php 500.00 consolation prize.

Winning was not my aim. Maluto lang ng maayos ang dish ko para di mapahiya sa mga in-laws ko hehe. But we had so much fun! It made us realize how blessed we were to be married with the Reantasos.
