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. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Friendships Begins to Change


As we are staying home we come across friends who you haven’t chat or communicated for a long time and when they start chatting with you they come across giving you not your name but a name they are suppose to give their boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse not really meant for a friend.

I have come across this recently and I have seen people get really lonely when they stay home and they are bored to death but they have spouses in their home but when you come across a friend calling you baby. I start to question them who are you referring to baby you know for sure that is not your name.

As I am talking to my friends I will stop them question them hey I am not your baby and I don’t like being called a baby in the first place. I have a name and I’d rather stick to it.

Sometimes you need to put a stop on your friendship it might lead to something else that you don’t see yourself in that direction.

I’ve notice these past weeks how my friends are reacting how they start to cling to you and wait when you are online.

Sometimes you have friends who act like they are your father or mother asking you why you are still online when in your time you should be sleeping. I know my friends care for me but when you stay home for a month and a half there is really nothing to do but find other things to do in your home there really is no curfew what time you need to sleep.

Sometimes you have friends who tell you did you eat already but I don’t need to be reminded I eat when I feel like it and when you wake up late your meals doesn’t come to you when you’re hungry. I have come to the point I miss my breakfast and lunch go directly to dinner. 

Now I can understand when my friends tell me they only eat one meal a day. Those people who eat one meal a day are on a diet.

To me I am not on a diet it is that I have lost appetite in my meals because I don’t have a cook in the house and now I have been dreaming of my cook being at home due I miss home cooked meals not bought from the outside.
