It was a good party that we went to yesterday. We had so much fun together. Our son and his family were there. The children had alot of fun playing together. As a guest, I enjoyed the delicious spread that we had to feast on. We all brought an appetizer. The hostess, who is from the Philippines, made her famous pork and pork and beef spring rolls. She also used their smoker and did some port kabobs. There was so many dishes, too many to describe. We came home with fully tummies and sore sides from laughter. That tells you it was a great party. ~Photo mine of Harper

That would certainly have been a great party. I'm sure the hostess would have enjoyed preparing those dishes for her guest.

She loves to make food from her homeland. Her husband will watch the children for a couple of hours and she will make 50 spring rolls from scratch. She never wants to be disturbed when making them to go to the children, as she worries about the germs that she may carry back to the kitchen on her clothing. Kids are so full of germs.

I am so glad you enjoyed the party, the company and the food. I see that Harper is enjoying playing Shuffleboard.

@LadyDuck I would like to see Jonathon get a small table top one, as they are fun and don't take up alot of space.

@Juliaacv Imagine that my husband wanted to buy one! I told him that it's too small for a grown up kid.

@Juliaacv . We used to know a woman in NOVA who was Asian. She made the most delicious food with steamed banana leaves.

Her food was delicious, honestly, out of this world. Every dish was home made from scratch. I think that the only 'store bought' item were the wood skewers that she had the pork on. That and the ice cream cake, which was delicious. She is from the Philippines and is preparing to make a big trip back home again with the 2 children. Her husband has to work of course, and cannot join them. We had such great fun.

@snowy22315 My friend made a sticky rice tray of that, I wonder if it was the same dish. I didn't care for the consistency of it. She had a corn type of custard yesterday, and I couldn't finish that as I didn't like it.

There was chicken also, but I didn't take any of that, also there were beef meatballs, but again, I make those myself, so didn't have any. I like going there for the foods that she prepares.

Sounds a great fun time. I read about the horrible event that happened in Canada there with the Filipino festival too.

Yes, that was out west. Tomorrow is our Federal Election, and the current Prime Minister, has halted his campaigning on this final and important day, out of respect, and to go out west, he is currently in the GTA of Ontario to inquire personally into the situation.

It was alot of fun. the hostess goes to such great measures to prepare so much food from her homeland of the Philippines and begins her preparations 5 or 6 days before the gathering.

You had a great party with kids with such delicious food. Kids enjoy it more when parents play with them its kind of bonding between you too.
