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.

No Sun Exposure You Become the Ghost in Your Home


Slowly as you walked down from the staircase to the living room and to the dining area you begin to ask Manang V about something she gets spooked by your voices thinking they have seen a 👻ghost.

Actually it is just a person standing at the dining room in the dark and all a sudden they talk unexpected and you are too busy preparing breakfast with no one around you. 

What happens to you? You end up dropping what you’re holding not realizing someone else was around you without a sound.

Another person passes by the hallway in the dining room and Manang V is about to have breakfast with her officemate and she suddenly hears a voice that say’s excuse me Manang V you are about to take a bite of your bread. All a sudden you are shock with the voice with a surprise you end up dropping your bread on the plate saying to the person why did you scare me.

You just begin to laugh quietly thinking am I a 👻ghost no one seem to see because you stay at home too long with no sun exposure.

The funny thing is the unexpected when you don’t know someone passes by so quietly and you are so into somewhere your mind is not in the same place and when you become distracted by someone you become shocked and surprised to hear someone else’s voice beside the person next to you.

Manang V keeps telling me I surprise her so many time and you wonder what other people think of you as well.

Do you become the 👻ghost in the house or what I call myself the white lady?
