[30 Days] What you ate today, in great detail

I don't really diet. The idea itself repulses me. I like the idea that I'm built like a Botticelli Venus in all of her glory with the best junk in all of the right places. 


Ever since I had my psych meds, sedentary lifestyle and night shift schedules, I ended up gaining weight steadily over the years. But I don't have a real appetite because I eat whenever I remember to eat. 

I am quite used to eating two heavy meals in a day. I sleep at dawn and wake up in the late afternoon too. I usually cook at home but we also order takeout through Grab Food too. 

So, today, I had iced coffee that I make at home with instant coffee, condensed milk, a pinch of salt and ice in a cute tumbler. For dinner, I ordered Korean fried chicken in two flavors: soy garlic and sweet and spicy. I had kimchi with it and fluffy white rice. I think I just had one solid meal. 


During my breaktime at work, I had another iced coffee and about two blocks of chocolate. I will consider chocolate and coffee as a food group!


At home, my family loves my cooking. I like cooking sweet and spicy adobo, chicken curry, tuna basil pasta and whatever ingredients are available in the ref. 

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. 


My family loves 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. 


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.
