Easter Lunch has always and will always be a tradition for most of us Christian and Catholics of joyous celebration. It is said that on this day, Jesus is resurrected making true his promise and completing the 2nd part of the redemption of man from sin. Veering away from the theological basis, it is also said to end the season of Lent as season of fasting and sacrifice, hence the copious amounts of food and celebration. Traditionally celebrated with our relatives, this year we decided to just stay at home and celebrate in our own way.
Today’s menu consisted of chicken and crabs. We had buffalo chicken wings, grilled and served on a platter. We also had crabs, steamed and served as is. For dessert, we had the buko pandan, and an array of fruits from mangoes, bananas, and pineapples. Our guest also brought Contis’ cake called Mango Bravo.
Steamed Crabs
Grilled Chicken Wings
It took awhile before the crabs were cooked since we got them alive. The chicken took some time too since the griller we have isn’t that big! (Note to self: must have a bigger griller made!) But luckily we calculated the time perfectly that by 12Noon the food was done. We all sat down for a sumptuous meal. Of course, I had to steal away some food to take pictures of!
