Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it.

Tim Tam Craving Made in Australia


My close friend recommended to try eating Tim Tam Mint Choco Mint. I took her advise and bought a lot to take home to my family.

My mom decided to buy Original and Dark Chocolate and when she went home she had tried it. She liked the taste and wanted to know if I have brought the same flavors to trade for something else she had bought.



Too bad I didn't buy the flavor she had bought because they didn't seem the kind my family would eat.




I was able to find them online and I was able to order her more to stock up in her home.
