Homemade Spanish Dinner

To welcome our good friends who are back from the UK, we hosted a casual dinner for them and some of their friends who have become our good friends too

I always try to entertain and host at home.  I brag about my cook, Edna, who does wonders for me.  As Suharto says, I just make the menu and my cook executes everything else.  I am so blessed to have her.  Edna was a cook of my Tita Vicky and she told us that her specialty is Paella Negra and Sisig!  IT IS TRUE!  So ever since i hired her 9 years ago, she has been serving that to my friends!  So many have tried these dishes.  She makes everything from scratch.

Sisig!! Not a Spanish dish but can go with the other dishes 🙂 

Believe me, this is the BEST SISIG EVER!!   Very unhealthy so we have it only when friends come over..and only because I am proud of my cook!

It is so crunchy and crispy, it really comes in a sizzling plate!  YUMMY!!!!
