What made Mom Violy step out of her comfort zone and try Las Flores for lunch?

  Mom Violy wanted to try Spanish food from  Las Flores  at Robinsons Magnolia . I remembered long time ago saw a family friend when my family was visiting beginning of the year. Mom Violy couldn't remember decided to have our lunch. Carmina decided to try out their Let's Do Lunch for 595.00 pesos ($10.26). Carmina asked for vegetable soup and Bikini sandwich which is ham and mozzarella cheese with potato chips. There is an unlimited calamansi but decided to pay additional for a Coke to share with Mom Violy. Mom Violy wasn't sure what she wanted ended up eating Gambas al Ajillo and white rice. In the beginning Mom Violy thought if she ate her gambas al Ajillo with just unlimited bread from the Las Flores she won't get full. It turned out she didn't eat that much of her rice. Mom Violy also ate my vegetable soup thinking she won't like the taste. Carmina always eats vegetable soup and just wanted something light for a meal. I didn't finish my bikini san...

Telling a Story

I have a friend who says when I talk I have so many things to say every time we have a conversation. They feel I don't run out of stories to share. They even tell me I must really be a blogger with all the entire details given when I am describing something.  Sometimes you don't notice yourself when you're talking only realize you are the same way when you're family members do the same thing to you. How do you stop telling a story out from not sharing the full details? Is there such a thing when you tell someone a story by only giving a brief summary? I have tried it before giving my friend a brief summary without a complete description the person seem not to understand my story so how do you cope with other people who careless to hear the full story of what you want to share with them. To me I feel I want to share less information to the person who holds me back not giving much information and you realize which people you will want to tell stories too than the ones who...

Homemade Breakfast Burrito Recipe

Today I feel like eating a breakfast burrito and this time I was able to find a place that sells the tortilla just like when I use to eat it back home in California.  I use to buy Mission Wraps in Shopwise but after our pandemic it was difficult to ask our employee to look for it since they had no clue what it was we only explain an easier way it looked like a lumpia wrapper located in the bread aisle. The employee schedule to go to the grocery store would just ask the sales person in charge giving them a picture of the Mission Wrap yet they kept saying out of stock. Finally I was able to find a grocery store from Grab Food application to purchase online and have it delivered to your home. I will give you all the information in case you too miss eating a breakfast burrito or feel like making a regular meal out of it. In your Grab application click Mart type in search Buildamart - New Manila on the top search right corner click search type tortilla and it will be listed below under ...

Mexicana Dip for Chips Guacamole

  The time when you feel like eating avocado and when you find out it is no longer in season you come across in finding something else to use to make your Mexican dishes or add on your sandwiches at your location. I love avocado from making it for breakfast, lunch and dinner to not have it I feel incomplete to add flavor to your meals. I was able to find this in Lazada online application in the Philippines it is Cantina Mexicana Dip for Chips Guacamole. I am on a diet I don't use it for chips just to add to my burrito and sandwiches for the replacement of my avocado. The price is PHP 125.00 ($2.50) not including shipping fee and tip to the rider (optional), The taste is great and if you love spicy food the better it has red paprika, green chili peppers, jalapeno pepper as their ingredients. Note: I am not selling  Cantina Mexicana Dip for Chips Guacamole just curious what it would taste like for my alternative of having no fresh avocado.
