Hubby’s Cook

Archive for the ‘Personal Thoughts’ Category

We’re supposed to be doing our grocery shopping today but I am injured and can’t decently walk so that has to be postponed until I am well. We used to do our grocery shopping in SM supermarket even before and we have tried NCCC Mall’s supermarket once. The experience in NCCC isn’t that impressive that I vowed to myself I would never do shopping for groceries there. Ever! Their displays are too unorganized that a first timer like us spent so much time looking for something. I don’t really know how they categorized their displays for you will find cooking oil in between baby diapers. Haler! I should have taken a photo of it. Their display racks is such a mess! I don’t think they are in the process of organizing that said rack because I don’t see any personnel trying to arrange the displays.

Despite of that disorganized and uncategorized displays, people are still patronizing them. I don’t know why. They said NCCC is cheaper compared to other grocery stores but I find products in NCCC more expensive compared to SM based on the tape receipt from the epson receipt printer of both establishments. NCCC is far expensive by 25 to 50 cents from SM’s prices. Oh well, even if they are cheaper by a perso, I would still go for SM supermarket which is more organized and neat compared to NCCC.

We were out last night to attend a birthday party of my sister Carol’s BIL. It was a simple party with LOTS of food (read: lots of dishes) that I almost don’t know what to pick from the buffet table. There’s an ever fave lechon (but not the whole lechon) but  Idecided to pass on it. Is it me? I didn’t pick even a single slice. I don’t know but maybe because I didn’t see the whole lechon thus I wasn’t tempted to get a slice. There’s a lot of food but all I had is pork b-b-q, duck cooked in yummy sauce (I don’t know what the dish is called), and goat kinilaw (I am not really sure if it’s a goat meat but to me it tastes like one).

I was looking for something rich in fiber but I settled with a few slices of watermelon. In parties like that, I don’t know why I can’t be like others who eat to their hearts’ content. I didn’t eat that much and yet I feel full already. Seems like I’ve been taking weight loss products with the way I eat in parties and buffet restaurants (the reason why buffet restaurants are not a big hit for me). But if you bring me to a place where there’s only few choices, I could eat too much until I am truly full. Needless to say, my tummy knows how to fake a full feeling when I am at parties and buffet restaurants.

…and it amuses me. Ace is still hooked with his cafe in Cafe World (a Facebook application). I stopped attending my cafe for weeks now but Ace still managed to continue cooking! I usually wake up in the morning with him in the laptop, serving his dishes and cooking something. Now he is 2 or 3 levels higher than me! Early this morning he asked me to open his cafe and serve the dishes. It’s been weeks since I haven’t visited his cafe so I was surprised that he redecorated his cafe (which I am doing for him ever since). He purchased some decors, and changed some of the tables and chairs but he kept the floor tiles as is. It would have been nice if he used metal tiles in the chef’s area but I guess those are not available yet. Oh, lemme check later and I will redecorate his cafe…shhh!
