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. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

To Change or Not To Change Who You Are?


As we get older we can no longer keep up in terms from younger and older people who uses terms what I can’t seem to pick up. I have to look up the word or honestly ask the person what the word means sometimes I feel I am not in tune with their world.

I feel I am out dated and everyone’s terms are all different than mine we get frustrated at times but when you live away from the American way you become more old fashion when you live apart of another custom.

My friends say I am too simple and I need to change myself because I am no longer young to do what my parents always told me to do.

I am thankful for my parents being strict on me because if they we’re not that way who knows what kind of person I would have become.

Sometimes you don’t realize the experience you’ve experience when you reach being older and you have children of your own you realize what it is and how to make their life the same as you’ve grown up or make things differently because their generation is not the same when you grew up.

My friends say I am far more different from them but they see something different that I am grown up but still reserved the way I dress and they way my personality is sometimes when you grew up your life being the person you are you don’t want to go out to explore.

What I mean by exploring is not going out to see places more on making changes in the way your personality is and the way you dress.

My friend said, I should change my hair style. All I know I look good in having a bob hair cut and I have explore when I was younger and found this hair style suits my face.

I have friends who tells me to stay the way you are the person who they know who you are since you we’re young.

Of course if I had to decide I’d rather stay where I am.

I am happy how I look, dress and my own simple personality. I maybe different than my friends but I am happy who I am.

I am thankful I have a face that has never aged or change and I realize may be I am not the outgoing type and more a home body person made me look and feel young.

They say people who drink a lot of alcohol expose to smoking makes them age more maybe that is my secret not only having a baby face but staying away from those two things has made my face the way it is.
