Yesterday's Afternoon, Resin Coasters making Activity is another activity I enjoyed. Kudos to Alexis, Our Activity Director for a well-organized, well-planned and executed activity. I used my two pictures as well as shells, dried flowers and small decorative stones as follows:

Preparing for the resin molding
I made 3 resin coasters, 2 are my own photos and one with a shell, stone and dried flowers arrangement. Here are some photos I took during our resin coasters making activity. Our creation will be baked for 3 days and looking forward to see my three finished products.

Finally, Good News from Joel
In our next week Dinner Menu, we will have Paella. I suggested this dish several weeks ago.
I am so happy, my wish will be granted next week. If you are not familiar with Paella, here's what Wikipedia says:
The essential ingredients for a traditional Paella include short-grain Spanish rice, saffron, olive oil, and a choice of meats or seafood.
The Base and Aromatics
- Rice: Short-grain Spanish rice like Bomba or Calasparra absorbs liquid well without getting mushy.
- Saffron: Gives the dish its signature yellow color and earthy flavor.
- Sofrito base: Grated or crushed tomatoes, garlic, and onions cooked down in olive oil.
- Broth: Chicken stock, vegetable stock, or rich seafood/clam stock depending on the recipe style.
Traditional Add-Ins (Valencian Style)
- Meats: Chicken and rabbit.
- Vegetables: Flat green beans (such as bajoqueta or romano beans) and white lima beans (garrofó).
Popular Seafood and Mixed Variations
- Seafood: Jumbo shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari (squid).
- Other additions: Artichoke hearts, green peas, or Spanish chorizo (though chorizo is controversial in traditional Valencian recipes).
Seafood Paella is one of my favorite Pinoy Dishes- we called it Arroz Valenciana
