Mom Violy's Birthday Lunch at Mamou, Gateway 2

Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try  Mamou . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2. Upon entering the person asked if we had any reservations however, they do except walk as well was seated at the table of our choice.  The person had handed us the menu. Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice.

Carmina's Daily Routine in the Kitchen

I guess everyone knows Carmina can cook around her kitchen by making a meal.

Yes, people thought a person who use to rely on Manang V to cook a meal for us. Yet they had no clue Carmina grew up in the United States. 

There no such thing having an employee to work for you not unless you've got the money.

I grew up learning to cook different types of food as we are getting older. Our taste buds begin to change from all international food somewhat we learn the dishes we feel like eating that day.

Life is food no one will be able to provide a meal if you don't know how to cook. Who will do it for you when you're feeling hungry.

I know it taste time to work around doing everything on your own. It is a training part with new changes giving you independency without following a daily menu.

Every two weeks I need to think what I feel like cooking making sure it isn't a repeat because somewhat I can relate to my friends. Sometimes I don't have an appetite when I cook my meal.

I finally found my own routine to work around my schedule. 

The only benefit is I have a website filled with recipes with pictures. All I need is to make the dish and take a video share it with everyone.

The night before I have decided what dish I would cook. I would bring out my ingredients out from the freezer and defrost it. I prefer to do it one day ahead having it marinated putting all the seasoning.

Example:

In the afternoon I brought out some frozen thigh chicken from the freezer. When it is already defrosted enough to separate each piece, I would wash it with water add black pepper and salt on both sides placing inside a plastic container. They say air dry in the refrigerator is the way to let the chicken dry up overnight.

Somehow you get inspired to cook a meal for yourself. 

One thing I realized when I was living with someone else food was limit by the portion you would like to eat each meal. I no longer need to worry how much I eat the food I want to eat. I pay for my own groceries.

I don't need to worry what other people say when you eat a lot. Basically, your free from people living with you.

The funny thing from all the cooking I am losing weight.

I realized ever since I was young no matter how much I eat. It is easy to burn it off especially when you think about it there are stairs in the house. Going downstairs and upstairs daily adds exercise to your daily routine.
