Wow! One day off from the blog and 170+ comments?! That is overwhelming and I thank you many times over for all the birthday greetings! In the next couple of days, hang on to your stomachs (virtually) as I post the “mystery” dish and more importantly, the surprise meal that Mrs. MM arranged for dinner last night… If only we could have had all of you over to join us… it was a very memorable and special meal.
As for the many guesses in the previous post on what was cooking for so long, many of you guessed pata tim which I have not yet featured on this site, callos was another favorite guess but that too, I have not attempted due to an aversion to cow stomach lining, duck confit, fabada which we eat often but whose recipe I have not posted yet, and very astutely, someone said croissants which I have never made from scratch…
But for some of the other guesses, I do have posts in the archives for the curious:
Crispy Pata a la Gardenman
Morcon a la Chef Chris Bautista
Wagyu Osso Buco a la Marketman
Kare-Kare
So hang on, wait a few hours and check back as I write up the posts from yesterday’s activities. Many thanks again for all the greetings… :)

“If only we could have had all of you over to join us…” I’m sure a pahabol birthday dinner can be arranged, Markerman :-) Belated happy birthday!
my best wishes and regards, Mr. Marketman. Hope to meet you in your John Lobbs someday. Cheers.
And thanks for this website of yours. You will never realize how much people value this.
Talk about a cliffhanger. I thought you would at least clue us all in regarding food group at least i.e. beef, pork, fish (doubtful), other kinds of seafood (extra doubtful), vegetables (ultra doubtful) hehehehe. This is what we folks get for waiting….. hmmmmmm
Funny that I knew I wanted to post a greeting…
But your post on you won’t have any entry for the day as you celebrated your bday…somehow put me in a suspended mode!
I just snapped out of that when I read this post :)
AM sure you had a Happy Birthday :)
happy birthday MM! i wanted to post a greeting earlier but seeing that there were already about 89 entries in your last post, i figured i’ll save my greeting for the next one. hehe. i’m sure you had a fantastic birthday dinner. good day to you and the family.
Belated happy birthday MM!
Wow! pata tim, yum yum. It’s one of my favorite family feast food in my previous life :-) I’m a convert vegetarian and haven’t eaten red meat since 1999. I remember this dish though, thick, creamy, sweet, a little sour, with that melt in your mouth meat. I’m sure your birthday celebration is as memorable as this slow cooked special treat. Have fun and looking forward to your birthday post!
You’re a Mega Star in the Blogosphere with an overwhelming birthday greetings from across the globe. I love your forte recipe – clues and quizzes for fun and continues momentum . Happy Birthday again.
