Lunch at Mama Lou’s Italian Kitchen

I’m currently watching “Pasta” Korean drama series so I was craving pasta. Last weekend, after our grocery, I told my husband that I wanted to eat pasta. So we went to EVIA and ate lunch at Mama Lou’s Italian Kitchen. It was funny because, meron naman malapit na Mama Lou’s sa Landers pero napalayo pa kami.


According to my blog, nine years ago na yung last kain namin sa Mama Lou’s Italian Kitchen so we take our time browsing their menu at hindi kami makapili. I was craving pasta pero nung nakita ko yung menu for main course parang nagbabago isip ko. Hehehe! At first, I wanted to order the Vesuvio pasta but the staff warned me na it would take a long time to prepare and since gutom na ko, I settled for Lucio’s Truffle Pasta PHP499. 


My husband and son wanted pizza but they wanted different flavors. Good thing the staff mentioned na pwede naman half order. So we ordered half of Mama Lou’s Special and half of Quattro Formaggi PHP670 for 12 inches. For dessert, we ordered Blueberry Cheesecake PHP275. I don’t like their infused water so I ordered Coke in Can PHP110


As far as I can remember, may complimentary bread sila before so nagtataka ko na wala na nagseserve. Gutom na gutom talaga kami while waiting for our food. The restaurant was busy so our orders came after 30 minutes including the complimentary bread. Kaloka. 




Lucio’s Truffle Pasta - Spaghetti served with creamy truffle sauce, brown button mushrooms and parmesan
Mama Lou’s Special - Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Prosciutto, Ripe Mangoes, Arugula, Balsamic Glaze
Quattro Formaggi - Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, cheddar, honey goat’s cheese, blue cheese 
Blueberry Cheesecake - A delicate balance of rich creaminess and subtle sweetness baked to perfection.

We enjoyed the food naman but if ever we will eat here again, early lunch na kami pupunta.

I don’t have Halloween Pattered Paper so I used Digital Halloween Background for this project. I print and then cut all the card elements except for the card base.

Magnetic Bookmarks for Teachers

First day of October and just like that, we are now in the last quarter of the year 2024. Wow, ang bilis lang talaga ng panahon. 

This week is also Teacher’s Day Celebration. I finished the Teacher’s Appreciation Cards two months ago but last week, nagcracramming na naman ako because I made these magnetic bookmarks. 

This is the fourth magnetic bookmark project that I have done so far. The other bookmarks are the Love Bookmark, Faux Leather Bookmark, and Minimalist Bookmark.  


For my fourth craft project, I used two designs “C is for Coffee” and Teacher Educator, Compassionate, Dedicated, and Motivator. I attached and flattened the designs using basic shapes. You can manually cut the design and magnetic sheet but I used my Cricut Maker. 



Materials
Photo Paper 
Glitter Phototop 
Magnet Sheet 
E7000 Glue 

For my display card, I used this Back to School Digital Paper Textures. I printed the design using White Glitter Paper and manually cut the cards.
