So we celebrated my grandfather’s birthday last week and my did we have a spread. We brought sweet and sour fish fillet to the party. They had lechon as well as pancit. They served cake and ice cream afterwards. Nice and simple in my opinion. I really like simple gatherings where the food we eat isn’t so complicated.

This morning I woke up to an empty house. Everyone decided to go out and leave early so I decided to make my favourite breakfast. This has been a family dish (I dunno if I would call it that) for ages, and it has become my comfort food. It’s basically made of corned beef and pork and beans. It is best eaten with rice or pandesal while it’s piping hot or even warm. I drank it along with strawberry yogurt drink I found in the ref.




I really like reading sidenotes to what we eat. Eating food, after all, is just THE sidenote to our real lives, right? Like the story of how we came to like something as comfort food. That strawberry yogurt is not exactly a match to your conrned beef-pork and beans number but, hey, no one argues with someone's comfort meal? Nice family picture by the way. Food does bond Filipino families.
