all about the food

July 18, 2011

This past weekend we had big plans and they all revolved around food. The plans kind of all fell through, but the food was still there.

Recently in the mall a new kiosk opened with siomai and C and I went. We also finally tried the waffle kiosk. It was just recently we learned that hotdog wasn’t the only flavor.

We also took the idea of cucumber salad and turned it into an awesome meal. It has fresh cucumber, shallots, vinegar, rice, salt and pepper, and a Peace Corps splurge of olive oil. That was when we thought it was going to be picnic food. The picnic never happened so we upped the anti for dinner by adding Chooks Chicken-to-go, kalamansi, mango, and hot peppers. Amazing!

Another something for the picnic was cookies. C has made them several times, but the stars have never aligned for me to eat them… until now. I had her add peanut butter and then was going to feel awful if they didn’t turn out. But they did and were amazing.

I always liked food, and have always been able to eat my fair share, but I never knew just how food centric a person's thoughts could be. Probably 60 percent of my texting conversations are about food.

Such is life in the Peace Corps.
