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.

Filipino Spaghetti Recipe Living Abroad

Sometimes in life we are overwhelmed in what is happening in our surrounding. We don't realize what is just in front of us. Our mind tends to drift and realize there are a lot of people who care for us  They express themselves in a different way. Some people when they are stressing they tend to go toward food. I am sharing with you my home made recipes. Filipino Style Spaghetti: I was told by a close friend that there is certain tomato sauce that taste different from the Philippines and if you buy the same brand in the States. For instance in the Philippines I usually use Del Monte Original Tomato Sauce. I was told the Del Monte Tomato Sauce is sour rather than sweet. So, I was able to try the a different brand while I was vi siting my home town and found you can use S&W Tomato Sauce which can be brought at Costco. I was able to use 1 and a half cans. Only problem they carry it in a large size. So, you will have some left overs. Of course you can use th...
