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 ...

Telling a Story

I have a friend who says when I talk I have so many things to say every time we have a conversation. They feel I don't run out of stories to share. They even tell me I must really be a blogger with all the entire details given when I am describing something.  Sometimes you don't notice yourself when you're talking only realize you are the same way when you're family members do the same thing to you. How do you stop telling a story out from not sharing the full details? Is there such a thing when you tell someone a story by only giving a brief summary? I have tried it before giving my friend a brief summary without a complete description the person seem not to understand my story so how do you cope with other people who careless to hear the full story of what you want to share with them. To me I feel I want to share less information to the person who holds me back not giving much information and you realize which people you will want to tell stories too than the ones who...

Homemade Breakfast Burrito Recipe

Today I feel like eating a breakfast burrito and this time I was able to find a place that sells the tortilla just like when I use to eat it back home in California.  I use to buy Mission Wraps in Shopwise but after our pandemic it was difficult to ask our employee to look for it since they had no clue what it was we only explain an easier way it looked like a lumpia wrapper located in the bread aisle. The employee schedule to go to the grocery store would just ask the sales person in charge giving them a picture of the Mission Wrap yet they kept saying out of stock. Finally I was able to find a grocery store from Grab Food application to purchase online and have it delivered to your home. I will give you all the information in case you too miss eating a breakfast burrito or feel like making a regular meal out of it. In your Grab application click Mart type in search Buildamart - New Manila on the top search right corner click search type tortilla and it will be listed below under ...

Mexicana Dip for Chips Guacamole

  The time when you feel like eating avocado and when you find out it is no longer in season you come across in finding something else to use to make your Mexican dishes or add on your sandwiches at your location. I love avocado from making it for breakfast, lunch and dinner to not have it I feel incomplete to add flavor to your meals. I was able to find this in Lazada online application in the Philippines it is Cantina Mexicana Dip for Chips Guacamole. I am on a diet I don't use it for chips just to add to my burrito and sandwiches for the replacement of my avocado. The price is PHP 125.00 ($2.50) not including shipping fee and tip to the rider (optional), The taste is great and if you love spicy food the better it has red paprika, green chili peppers, jalapeno pepper as their ingredients. Note: I am not selling  Cantina Mexicana Dip for Chips Guacamole just curious what it would taste like for my alternative of having no fresh avocado.
