We just had a little family gathering: Mother's Pre-birthday Celebration
Maki as the center piece food.
Rice cooked in banana leaf.
Black grapes, it has seeds, the seeds are good source of extra antioxidants though.
I photographed the food that we ate yesterday, it consisted of some few foodstuffs that are bought by my siblings and myself. I contributed about 4 liters of ice cream and the green fern salad, and black grapes. My sister bough a couple of roasted chicken and the sift drinks. My eldest brother bough one set of Maki and crispy spring rolls, plus the rice wrapped in Banana leaves. My other brother brought some spring rolls and I do not know what else.
It is actually a pre-celebration of my mother's birthday because my other brother and his family will be going to other event today to visit the place they scheduled it to happen which is today, my mother's birthday. So today we will still have a family gathering together with my sister and her family and my eldest brother who will visit us again to celebrate my mother's birthday. I actually ordered a bunch of Maki which is my mother's favorite food to eat and forbid me to buy anything else like the roast pig that I was planning to purchase for this day but it never materialized.
I don't know, if I can buy some tray of lechon I will just add it to what we will be having today but the Maki are so much already for us to eat and I bet that we will not be able to eat them all as I ordered the big ones with the most Maki pieces per one big circular tray, its a Maki glut da now 😋😆. I was about to cancel the delivery date but my sister told mother to let things be and will ask my eldest brother to go back here again to spend another "Maki" party for my mother's big day. Its just a simple family gathering but I told mother that if we will not consume the Maki, she will have to invite other people to come by the house and feed them the Makis which is actually everyone's favorite party food because of its taste and the way it is presented as you can see in the above photo which is a "Mix special" as it is called.
I am a bit sad to to realize that my mother is not getting any younger but it is a reality and I am thankful to God that she is still sharp in mind and strong with her body although experiencing the ravages of old age. I am glad that her recent body pains had some improvement after I told her to stop taking the calcium supplement that she was taking before as it seems that her body was not tolerating it already, so my call was right and it done good as my mother's pain with her body overall improved but according to her, her right shoulder is still sprained and it was unlike before, but regardless she can still do her previous work and errands around the house but with the help of my father now.

Congratulations with you mom's birthday! The food looks good and it's great to hear everyone joined and there's even a second Maki round!
I do find it a bit sad you didn't order the pig I am sure it would have been eaten if. Also, no one will get younger and it's kind of sad if we always put the smallest wishes aside because of other needs. I was the same and today a lot a can no longer be bought and as I thought about that last night it did make me feel sad. Now all that's left is a memory of once good food I still miss but those tastes will never come back.
I hope your mom enjoys her special day and will not be too tired and the pain in her shoulder will linger. It might take a lot of time but your father can help him, it's healthy to do so instead of hanging around.
Didn't you have your dialyze yesterday?
A happy day to all of you.

My mother had a great time yesterday and today, there are a lot of Makis, all big four round trays could not simply consumed with the three of us of my parents plus my sisters family and they are only five. So my Mother gave most of it to the family friends around here, they live nearby.
My mother gave some to the two old ladies that remembers me always and gives me gifts of food, oyster from the first one and then fruits from the other from time to time, so they had their share of the tasty Makis, I will post the picture tomorrow but I will show them tp you here first.
Al in all we had a great time as all of my nieces and nephews had turned in together with my siblings. I bought a lot of ice cream too because the younglings likes them a lot, three tubs of 1.3 liters yesterday and all of them had their share and then two 1.5 liters today when my eldest brother 's family for this second celebration day. My other brother and his family went for a trip up north to visit his mother in-law's sister for some occasion there too.
Yeah I had my dialysis treatment on Monday, the pre-celebration day. Its my schedule today, Christmas day.
