Egg in a Basket (Or So They Say)

I wanted to cook something different last time around. So I searched for new ideas in the internet.

I did see something interesting in youtube. The dish is called "Egg In a Basket". This dish is basically an egg which is placed in the middle of a sliced bread. 

I try it for myself.

My version of it. It still needs work though.


This was amazing! It's creative, enticing, and delicious! I will definitely make this again.

For the recipe, I got it from Laura Vitale, a known youtuber. She has more than 800 dishes in her channel. If you have time, please check her videos.

Black and White Christmas Party

Before I start, let me provide some background information about this event.

Last year, we decided as a class to have a Christmas Party on our own. Last year was pretty simple. There was dinner, games, and exchange of gifts.

This year, some of my classmates wanted to have a theme and wanted this Christmas party to be over the top, which they did! The theme for this party was black-tie holiday. It would also imply that we should wear our best black and white outfit for this night. This was held in my classmate’s house.

Let the Party Begin in . . . 1 Hour and 30 Minutes!


The party should start at 5 pm. However, it was moved to 6 pm.

I arrived at the venue 30 minutes behind schedule. It was my intention to be late because I know that we will still wait for other late comers and I know that they are still preparing for the party. But when I arrived, there were only a few of us inside! Most of them arrived really late due to heavy traffic and difficulty in getting a taxi. Well, that’s what you expect during the days before Christmas.

While waiting for the others, I took the opportunity to take the pictures of the place.

Those "pom-pom" thingys (I don't know)

Tags for the photo booth (Yes they thought of it.)

Cookies for everyone!


The actual start of the party was 7:30 pm. Since we were so hungry, we started the party directly with dinner.

After dinner, we had games like “bring me”, “guess the song title and artist”, “daisy apple”, and “pass the balloon”.

Last part of the party was exchanging of gifts.

It was fun! I hope we can have this party again. So guys (I’m referring to my classmates), what would be the plans for the next Christmas party?

See you guys later! May 2015 be a great year to you guys!
