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 ...

Do you feel you’re alone?


Saving food for others is what I do when I don't eat a particular dish that is cooked by Manang V. I save my food to my mom when she craves for food that she doesn't feel like cooking for herself. 

There are times in your life you feel lazy to cook your own food and prefer to eat other person's cooking. You will come a point in your life when you live alone and come home from work being tired you don't feel like cooking a meal for yourself.

That is when you realize why you live this way and what changes you want to do in order not to live the way you do.

During the holidays approaching you start to realize the life you have compared to others who you know and what you feel their life is better they are surrounded by people.

You start to feel less of yourself how lonely the life you live as you tell your friends what life you live.

You meet a friend who says your life is not lonely you just make it sound really bad sometimes people feel this way when a part of their life they always lived this way.

I have always tell my friends they can change the way they live or change the way they think but being in that situation is not only you who feel that way. For the people who I've come across from they all felt the same way each person who has opened to me I tell the same thing. You're not alone in this world you may live alone but to feel lonely is normal when the holiday season.

Those who have more than others they have other sort of feelings they might feel something is missing even if they have more than you.

Just everyone's life is all different but if you want to change the way you live it can only come from you to accept the way you live and how you want to change it for the better.

If you love the freedom than be happy but no matter what you can change your own pattern in life it is you who need to figure what you want from it.
