It is always nice to have an extra day. Since getting married, things I do during these days had change dramatically.
I woke up the same time as I do during weekdays. I watched and talked to my husband as he was getting ready to head to work. After seeing him off, I tried to sleep some more--by 10AM, I could not sleep any more.

I went to our kitchen and set out to do what I had been excited to do since the day before.
Longanisa, the filipino version of a sausage.
I was using my mom's recipe, only I tweaked it a little bit. One of the changes I made was to put MORE garlic. My sister told me that she does the same, adding more garlic.
Instead of the usual cylindrical shape, I decided I would make mini burgers instead. I lined a baking tray with aluminium foil then I used my hands (making this is always so much fun!) and a spoon to make balls. Each ball went to the tray and I almost immediately flattened it.
Did I mention that it was so much fun?
I then placed the tray in the freezer and left it there for around thirty minutes.
When it was ready, I took it out, cut the aluminium foil and placed the patties in a plastic container that went back to the freezer.

Okay, I lied. I also made a few typical skinless longanisa pieces.
But it was so boring rolling the meat mixture. Plus mini patties are cuter ;)
