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.

Feeling Excited

 


Going outside after two months makes you feel excited inside as you finally get to see your mom now I can understand the feeling when you’re able to get a break from leaving your home how you should be grateful in those who are close to you.

Everyone needs a break if they could go out and explore for a short time or spend time for those who cannot go out due to their age.

Every time I see my mom I have food prepared for her and she always inform me weeks ahead of time what grocery she need and food she would like me to bring for her enough to supplement before I can visit her again.

The disadvantage of having a parent not living in your same home you worry for them because they live by themselves and they chose to live this way although you worry for them the best thing in life my mom is able to meet new neighbors surrounded her and they bring her home cooked meals and have it sent by their employee.

I am grateful for the neighbors who take it out of their way to help each other.

My mom also has close friends who travel along with frontline who are able to visit her province and to buy food what my mom craves for and have it sent through me and in exchange I give her friend food in return in what they request for so either way everyone is happy in their own way.

In life it is to help each other in other words we exchange by the thoughtfulness we share to people surrounded to us and those who have less we give them money and food to supplement their needs when they ask for it.

We are there for everyone and we are who we are to care for those who are surrounded around us and this is what upbringing my mom and I were raised from our own parents.
