We celebrated New Year's Day at Grandma & Grandpa's House in Foster Village. You can tell that we're true Tagalogs - just look at our table of meat, meat, and more meat. If you look in one or two of the pictures, you can see the only dish with vegetables - pakbet, but then again it had more meat than vegetables hehe. I take that back, if you look at the stack of paper plates, you can see that they have a veggie motif, so make that 2 dishes with vegetables. My favorite dish in the spread was Dad's banana baduya.
