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.

The New Generation for Our Children

Enough just so they can pass their grades. There are some parent's who push their children to the extreme by getting them a tutor after school.

Dating

The year of my mom's generation my mom told me when someone was kissing in the movie theater that was consider a big "no no". At that time she thought when you kiss someone you would get pregnant from it. During our adolescence we are clueless how dating really is when your parents never explained what it feels when a man and a woman likes you.  How do you find about dating? Some people are told by their friends and they tend to copy each other. Others learn from the education given by school from the birds and the bee's. Or we just follow what we see on the television show. I started dating in the year 1990's my parents we're very strict with me. They loved it when my first boyfriend was a long distance relationship. I only saw him once a month; He would fly between his school and work just to visit me during the weekend. Our relationship didn't last since he was looking for someone to get married. I wasn't ready for marriage that ti...
