Hello everyone here. I've been reading a lot of your articles recently, and it seems like you've been demotivated or struggling these days. I'm also having troubles and don't know how to get rid of it, but I want you to know that the Lord is keeping an eye on us. Whatever your situation is today, huge blessings are on the way. Keep going; you're already half way to the victory you desire. Do not surrender; let us fight this war together. If you want to chat to someone, my Facebook account is easy to discover, and I am approachable. Slide on my private chat, but don't ask for money because I'm now broke. Hakhak!

Thank you my dear sponsors. :)

It is part 3 of my blog from a few weeks ago about foods that I haven't uploaded yet here, so I revise it and evaluate my answers since my mood is changing, so my previous answer may have changed now. I am that type of person; my reactions to certain questions vary depending on my mood. So feel free to read it and let me know what you think at the end.

Random Questions About Foods

Which herbs and spices do you regularly cook with?

I often use pepper. It is my favorite spice out of all the spices and condiments available to us as Filipinos. I enjoy the dish with pepper on it. When I sprinkled ground pepper on the vegetables I prepared, my sister became enraged. Did you know what those veggies are? It's a dinengdeng. Haha. So you can imagine how upset she was with me at the moment.

What is the strangest food you have ever tried?

I don't recall trying any unusual foods. Let me think about it. Okay, I remembered my Auntie showing up at our house with a microwaveable container, and I was perplexed as to what was inside. It contains cooked rice, eggs, ground pork meat, raisins, and other ingredients. It appears like embutido because of the color, but unlike embutido, it has rice on it and tastes good. Yes, I could still taste it even if the texture and sight were not appealing. The flavor is okay but not delectable in my opinion. I'll never do that again. Haha.

Have you ever baked a cake?

No, I haven't tried baking. The problem is that I don't know how to do it and we don't have an oven or other baking equipment.

What food do you like to eat on your birthday?

Of course, Shanghai. If there is no shanghai on the table, we cannot call it a handaan or palanit in Ilocano. We usually make shanghai for special occasions, like as birthdays. That's what I'd want to eat on my birthday. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to prepare Shanghai for my birthday  last April.

What's your favorite meal of the day?

Dinner is my favorite meal of the day. I'm not sure if it's only in our house or in yours, but whenever it's dinner time, we always have a plentiful and excellent food. Our breakfast is always leftovers from dinner, and our lunch is occasionally leftovers from dinner also, but it is sometimes foods from the market that we cook. But, yes, dinner is my favorite meal of the day.

Who do you usually eat meals with?

I normally eat alone because we don't eat together at our place. We only eat together as a family once in a while. I always eat my meals while watching vlogs in my bed.

Which is better: A picnic in the park or a meal in a restaurant?

I'll go with a restaurant meal. I always have picnics in parks or other public settings, and it's different when I eat inside a restaurant. Now I'm thinking which restaurant would be the best spot to go after I get my money. Haha.

Which one do you prefer: Cake or Ice Cream?

Ice cream! I enjoy the cake as well, but I'm not a huge lover of it. I prefer vanilla or other flavors of cake than chocolate since I usually have chocolate goods at home. I'm starting to dislike them, maybe because I get tired of eating them. Chocolate is widely used in many foods and flavors.

Do you eat leftover foods?

Always. We always had leftovers, and it was always our next food at the following meal, as we used to do. I live in a family where we occasionally prepare more than we need so that we can have leftovers the next morning since we are too lazy to cook breakfast in the morning. Another reason is that I always wake up late, and when I do, I'm already cooking for lunch.
