I don't really diet. The idea itself repulses me. I like the idea that I'm built like a Boticelli Venus in all of her glory with all the junk in the right places.
Ever since I had my birth control implant and my psych meds, I ended up gaining weight steadily over the years. But I don't have a real appetite because I just eat whenever I remember to eat.
Recently, Duckie and I ate two heavy meals in a day. We sleep late at night and wake up late too. So our breakfast is around 2PM and then dinner will be at 8PM. I usually cook at home but we also order takeout through Grab Food too.
We went out today to run errands in Cubao, Quezon City. Duckie left me in Starbucks where I ended up getting a warm cinnamon roll while reading a pocketbook. Then we walked to Gateway Mall for lunch.
Duckie decided on Burgoo for a change. We ordered their large appetizer that was composed of onion rings, french fries, shrimp popcorn and chicken poppers. He got a medium rare steak with mashed potatoes, mushrooms and corn. I ordered the Shrimp Seafood Jambalaya because I love paella. I really, really love paella.
At home, Duckie loves my cooking. I like cooking adobo, chicken curry, tuna basil pasta and even spaghetti. I still have a long way to go on cooking other homey dishes like tinola, nilaga, sinigang, kare-kare, menudo, afrita and kaldereta. My father's a great cook so I want to be just as good as he is so my family will always have good, homemade food to eat. Whenever I need a recipe or I'm in a pinch, I call my mom for help because she's also a wonderful cook.
We love to eat together and share food with each other. We love milk tea, sweets and savory foods. We like the same restaurants and we like the same cuisines. Our dates often revolved around food.
My relationship with food is simple and easy. I will eat whatever I want in small doses. I will not refuse sweets and other decadent little desserts. I will just enjoy eating every delicious thing out there because life is so short to avoid good food. Every bite and morsel is wonderful to share with the people I love.
