Writing about your favorite food is today's topic. I'm Filipino all the way. If there's one thing I want to eagerly eat after our 21-day Daniel Fast is chicken adobo. It doesn't have to have eggs and garnished with bacon. I love it cooked the "Ilokano" way. I remember our first two days of driving going to Las Vegas with myself, my mom, my eldest sister, and her husband. My brother-in-law brought with us a pot of chicken/pork adobo and put it in a large cooler. We ate that for two days. What makes adobo tastes better the next day is the apple cider vinegar, kikkoman soy sauce and thinly sliced/cut fresh ginger root. Oh, I tell you, Filipino cuisine is one of the most savory, delicious food you can have. I really missed how they cook everything back home more tasty that you forget you're vegetarian. I can never go near good the way they prepare and cook them. One day, I will go back home for one pleasurable goal in mind--eat with" gusto" like there is no tomorrow. It's not just the food that is so good but also the many bountiful fruit-bearing trees and shrubs of succulent green leafy vegetables. No wonder, we hardly or never had gotten sick because of the fruits, vegetables, fish/seafood and a very small portion of meat into our plates. I still believe that to date. Who would forget the late, very famous Celebrity Chef and CNN Food Critic, Anthony Bourdain? How he loved the Filipino cuisine and most of all, he loved communing with the Filipino people. He was hilariously enjoying his time eating fine food and drink and storytelling in all of the videos he captured in the Philippines. That tells me that he was really a very good food critic. His level of adventure when it comes to food was amazing. Well, I have a lot of favorites but I'm not a good cook. I can cook, very average. I love looking at laborious pictures of food but kitchen is not my domain. I'm just happy that my two sons can cook better than me. I just found out yesterday that they just opened Baskin Robins and Dunkin Donuts not too far away from where I live. So, that's something I look forward to when I'm done with my Daniel Fast next Monday. Funny that I'm not having withdrawals from not drinking coffee for almost a month now. Praise God. My nerves are better. Not eating red meat especially has mitigated my indigestion and stomach issues. Also not watching anything at all from tv's and social media have given me time to introspect and think better with my conscience about Life. Just learning that we really can discipline our appetite to eat food that is naturally unhealthy. Fasting, Praying and Praising Him will do that for you. For sure...Take it from me! |
