Tuesday, June 15, I got a text from Chef Myke about lunch on Thursday, June 17. The gist of text was about an event with chefs and local organic farmers. "Would you be interested to be part of this plan"? Can't recall verbatim as I just saved that message for the Chef Myke's address and deleted it after lunch.
Scheduled to leave for Manila on Thursday, but this text got me packing a day ahead. I had been wanting to do something like this, but no one was listening. Not sure who was going to be there, and even if I wasn't a social hen...this got me saying "yes".
Got to the address a few minutes after 12. I thought myself as late. Surely, Myke Sarthou as host was there first. Divine Mesina and I (Sandy), got there at the same time and introduced ourselves at the gate. Yam Lacaba was waiting inside. Tony and Beth de Castro arrived. Joy Dimabuyu and Desiree Segovia followed. Last but perfect timing as lunch was starting, Priscilla Teodoro arrived.
We all admired the vibes and potential of Myke's new house cum office. You feel great energy as you enter the gate. Lunch was so good. Thank you Chef Myke for hosting, tossing and blending.
After lunch the meeting started. As it developed, I thought I can hear myself talking. Those were the same ideas I had been toying with. Verbalizing them to others whom I thought should have the tickle for it, but it fell on deaf ears and hard straight smiles before.
This time it was different. The delay was worth it. Nine people who came from different walks, lifestyles, and lines. Nine people who are passionate and hard working, and who have proven themselves to themselves :) Tony himself commented that he can see the group working together.
Photos were taken by Yam, that is why the photo just shows eight (8). We wanted a video. One of the rare times I didn't have my camera bag in the car.....but we know what we missed to shoot. We can still show them to you. It is in our hearts :)

We have the concept: to educate consumers on how to properly make use of ingredients, match chefs and end users with the local farmers, make consumers and chefs aware, that good and healthy is available. It is all about Philippines, Pinoys, fun and food!
Mechanics? Venue? Date? Etc? We have agreed on meeting again next Friday.
We have two writers in the group. After this post, the next entries should be a more entertaining and educating trip to healthy food...by Pinoys and for Pinoys.
