Day 35

Time for myself

Being married somewhat makes you appreciate your alone time. 

And we all know that time, as constant as change, 

can never be retrieved back.

So when you get hold of your alone time,

what do you do? 

Well, let me see, I write, I play online and I read. These are just a few of the things I ain't allowed to do completely when my husband is around. I mean, of course, I don't want to give divided attention when he's around, right? (Don't do to others what you don't want to be done unto you. Hahahaha!) I also experiment more and I try new things when I'm alone most especially when it comes to cooking.

Dinuguan. Don't judge it as is. You've got to taste it first.

You see, there are delicacies and viands that my husband are eeked to try while I delight on them. To name a few, sauteed pork liver in soy sauce and vinegar, Dinuguan (pork innards cooked with pork blood), Kare-kare (pork innards and pork meat cooked in peanut sauce), Sinigang (the real sour one cooked with Tamarind mix - yumm!!!!) and Balut (boiled one-day old chick). Real Filipinos are the only ones who would be able to dig those.

Well, not this particular food that I prepared and took a picture of for my Day 35 because this is pretty legal to cook in the house. But, I had skipped lesser-than-supposed-to-be amount of salt to be put in my pork soup. Cooked with potatoes and Philippine bokchoi (pechay), I feasted on it for my baby and to celebrate Easter Sunday. My husband prefers the right amount of salt or perhaps... everybody would right? But that freedom to do what you want is priceless and the moment is worth embracing. No need to worry about any criticism. The only person entitled to such judgement is yourself and you're only allowed that certain time (which is solely your own) to do it.
