The CK Daily – Boodle Fight
Hi, hello everyone!
How’s everything going so far?
Does anyone here know about Boodle Fights? This week, my family and I had one as a special welcome for my boyfriend, who finally came home after months of being away. My mom prepared a feast—chicken adobo, spring rolls, fresh veggies, fried fish, and a colorful spread of fruits. We usually do this for holidays or big celebrations, but since we had a surprise visitor, we decided to have it early instead of waiting for my mom’s birthday on March 25th. She’s turning 50—definitely another reason to celebrate!
If you were to have a Boodle Fight at home, what dishes would you include? Let’s hear it!
Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Only strict adherence to cable management practices can prevent this disaster.
