Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Baked Asparagus Recipe

  Carmina wanted to eat fresh asparagus while she was in town visiting her family. We went to a Delta Farmer's Market and purchased fresh asparagus and some fruits to bring back home. Compared to the asparagus in the Philippines it is smaller in size good thing Carmina was able to find it at the Delta Farmer's Market. Charina's recipe is adding pan spray on a nonstick flat pan place in the oven for ten minutes and parmesan cheese by sprinkle on top until melted and it is ready to serve.

Carmina's Review on Nick the Greek Restaurant

C armina hasn't eaten Greek food for a long time since she had arrived in the United States. After spending the day with Charina and Gilbert they decided to have a bite to eat at  Nick the Greek Restaurant in Concord, California. Carmina had ordered their lamb gyros with everything on it. Carmina couldn't finish the lamb gyros having the half out for takeout. Carmina always loved eating lamb gyros ever since and missed the way they make it in California even if she has already tried it in the Philippines. The lamb is soft and tender easy to bite into with favorable along with their sauce, onion and French fries inside a pita bread.

Housekeeper at Ala Moana Hotel

Carmina realized Mom Violy has a difficult time adapting to the new technology when it comes to traveling. Recently we went to Hawaii for five nights and six days Mom Violy had a difficult time remembering what room she was check in at Ala Moana Hotel. Mom Violy didn't want to wander on her own she felt lost in motion when Carmina wasn't around. Parents tend to rely upon their children when they begin to age. Mom Violy said if she had to travel on her own, she'd rather not and stay at the Philippines. Our parents don't want to learn how to do it and if we teach them, they say they'll forget. Mom Violy met Edna and Anabel for her assistance in her room after finding they are Filipina the more, she spoke to them when they're on duty. Mom Violy introduced Edna and Anabel to Carmina explaining that she is a blogger the more they both got excited taking pictures with each one of them. Bottom line is Mom Violy is aging and she gets tired easily way she walks takes lon...
