Sunset before the lunar eclipse

Last week, I was having an evening class lecture while the lunar eclipse was unfolding. I could only have a glimpse of the eclipse from my office window when we took a short break in the middle of the lecture. Prior to the event though, I was able to take a photo of the sunset before the eclipse. Here are a couple of photos of the sunset as seen from the 4th floor of our office.

You can see the outline of a mountain in Bataan province behind the tall buildings in the photo. We used to have a clear view of Mt. Mariveles and Mt. Natib when there were few buildings in the horizon.

The sun descended quickly after this photo. It is always a sight to behold.

A dose of tuna melt for Friday lunch

Last Friday, I decided to treat myself with a tuna melt sandwich. It was a slow Friday to cap a very busy week. I was also sort of celebrating the accomplishments of our daughter as she concluded their 3rd Quarter exams.

My favorite tuna melt with green salad on the side from Wildflour

 

Wildflour's tuna melt is so far the best sandwich to me. The poached tuna and cheese they used were the perfect fusion. It helped that the multigrain bread was fresh and crunchy. The salad is always good though the dressing is not usually the one I like. Regardless, I prefer my salads without dressing if its this fresh.

Jericho's, Tanay - Pililla Boundary

It's nice to "get lost" from time to time. A relatively long drive during a holiday took us to some towns in Rizal where we happened upon a dairy farm and drove to a restaurant in Tanay that we wanted to try out for the food and the view. Upon arriving at the restaurant, we found it too crowded and didn't want to wait among the crowd who probably drove there for the same reasons we had. And so we decided to go back the way we went there and try to find a place to have late lunch.

Doing a quick search of places to eat at along the way back to Antipolo, we found Jericho's and its high ratings. The place was at the border of Tanay and Pililla (just beside the arch actually).

We ordered chicken quesadillas for starters

We ordered their boneless fried chicken and chose the parmesan variant

Their take on the roast beef was really good and is a must try for diners. The beef is so tender and the sauce actually has a hint of bulalo.

Their version of carbonara is also very good.

We had a very good meal at Jericho's. The service was also very good. Their staff was very attentive and also helpful with the menu. Jericho's is a very good restaurant with a very good selection in their menu. I think this is a restaurant that you can put in the map and also consider eating at whether you drive or take public transport to get there. It's definitely a good stopover for those driving to the farther towns of Rizal or perhaps on the was south to Laguna, Quezon or even Bicol.
