Burgers for Lolo

By | Jaric Marketing Inc, Steaks, Yummy! | No Comments

This is a long delayed post!   Last year, James wanted Lolo to try his Bryan Flannery burgers so we brought some for lunch and James cooked it for him.  We were so happy to have Chris and Tito Rico join in the taste test! 🙂

The burger normally come in a one pound patty which you can make into different sizes – quarter pound etc etc depending on how big you like them

 But watch out for the new ones coming out – customers requested for them to be formed already so there will be packaging of 3 burgers and then we have sliders which are mini burgers as shown below

Easter Celebration Spanish Night

By | Arts and Culture, Celebrations, Education, For kids | 3 Comments

Following Lolo’s birthday was Easter Sunday!  So the celebration continues! Thank you to Tita Nedy for organizing and for all the details she puts into making a memorable event 

easter-celebration-spanish.jpg

The day before, Lolo kept asking my Titas about the Loboc Choir.  They did not know how to answer because they were planning to surprise him with that – so you can imagine how happy he was when they performed for him.  Lolo not only patronizes Educational programs but also many cultural programs. I could listen to the  Loboc children’s choir all day and never get bored

Tantoco Donates to His Grade School

By | Education, Giving Back | No Comments

Lolo has always been a generous person.  We are all very proud of him!  Since we were kids, he would always make sure he would give back to the community.  And also of course to us, he never stops giving – materials things and of course more importantly his love and guidance which we appreciate more and can never get enough of.  Thank you Lolo for giving and giving and for teaching us how to give

We are around 70 in the family ( from 2nd to 4th generation ) and he knows all of us and even knows details about our lives.  He can even tell us stories from his childhood!

Brunch at Art Restaurant, Four Seasons Hotel Seattle

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We were so hungry waiting for a late lunch, we decided to get a quick bite downstairs

We saw that the restaurant joined the Dine Around Seattle 

img_6449.jpgimg_6451.jpg

so we chose the US$ 15.00 lunch which cost even cheaper than one dish on the menu  

img_6445.JPG

Wow!  Good value or money meal 🙂 James and I just split this and we were still okay for our lunch at 130pm
