Lasang Pinoy Sundays for this week is all about Noche Buena.
Noche Buena is that midnight feast meal which families share to celebrate Christmas. These can be a table full of elaborately-prepared dishes or just simple meals that best reflect what each and every member of the family wants to share or to have.
We have had a simple Noche Buena. Pasta carbonara, baked ham, macaroni salad for the kids and my hubby and potato salad for me. We were going to have lunch in my hubby’s aunt the next day so I dd not cook a lot.

Lasang Pinoy Sundays for this week is about Christmas Goodies.
I would have featured a few of the Christmas donuts that we had for the past two weekends but these were too “westernized” for me.
I have decided then to feature the butterscotch bars that the kids and I baked last week. This was in preparation for my Frugal Christmas theme. Yeah, even if I still have to practice baking which means I will shell out more than I have to, sige na, pangatawanan ko na 
Ok, I cheated.
I used a ready mix butterscotch/brownie mix (whatever) for this. I don’t know, it tasted like how a butterscotch bar should taste like. It was a bit, a teeny wee bit crunchy on top and soft and moist in the inside.
All sliced pieces baked from the 9 x 9 baking pan were gone before 24 hours were up (should I mention that we still had a pack of food for the gods given to us during that time). Maybe these were good to be given as goodies after all
