Attack of the Shivers and MiniStop Fare

I am shivering tonight. And the wind was blowing hard earlier too that it literally blew my bedroom door open! Not that it was fully closed (of course) - it was just slightly stuck to the door pane - but there was this "woo" sound and then, the door opened.

Anyway, what I think is strange about me having the shivers tonight is that I am not at all discomforted by the cold but I am getting irritated by my quivering. See, I am working (not like that's news) and it is all too noticeable that my jaw is clenching and I quiver every few minutes -- so annoying. I mean, what is that about? Time to put on a sweater, eh?

Someone brought home this stuffed pastry from the local MiniStop. The filling - I do not know what that was but it was not sweet so it's not a dessert. My best guess would be it was mushed sweet pork asado. The pastry was wonderful, though, like the outside was made of filo dough. Its crust was flaky and the inside was soft -- surprisingly nice for something from a 24-hour convenience store. OR maybe I haven't been out that much to know if saying that is correct. Hmm...

I used to be a 7-Eleven freak, err, frequent-customer (LOL) back in the day. I ate almost everything that you could heat up inside the store and I remember some of them were okay.

N.B. Still quivering...

Cold, Windy, Audacity, Congee

Lovely weather now. It's cold - not too cold that I have to bundle up - it's nice. It's windy outside too. Mosquitoes in my room are not afraid. It used to be that when you wave a hand over one that's "dining" on you, it would fly away. Now, when I feel an itch on my leg and put a hand over it ever so calmly, I squash the bug. Gross. Here was my dinner yesterday, chicken congee or arroz caldo . Suitable dish during cold weather 'cause it's filling and the spiciness from the ginger hits the spot.

December in food pics 2023

  Chicken Nuggets (Purefoods Chicken Breast Nuggets) Yum with BBQ sause. Sliced mango yung nasa taas, masarap din, matamis. Homemade Baked Macaroni Ordered from a neighbor for noche buena. It has beef, mushrooms and bechamel sauce. Still yum. Second year in a row na since  2022 noche buena macaroni . Pork tocino and scrambled egg (Pampanga's Best Original Tocino) with suka, syempre. Dry yung eggs huhu. Sinangag sana yung rice pero bagong saing kasi. Dapat sa fried rice yung day-old na maalsa para buhaghag. Speaking of... tagalog ako pero yung term na "maalsa" sa bigas, recently ko lang naintindihan 😁

Mango season and food pics

 It's mango season! Lots of sweet ripe mangoes for sale around us 😋  Mango Slices, Pork Tocino + Vinegar Sawsawan My current favorite bigas  variety is sinandomeng. It is buhaghag but still soft, but not all sinandomeng  are the same. I prefer the one by Golden Grain's. Mango Slices, Beef Tapa + Salt on the Side I asked for salt. Maybe I'm having too much sweet fruit.  Mango slices, Purefoods hotdogs + UFC Banana Catsup I prefer Purefoods Cocktail Hotdogs compared to the regular sized Tender Juicy. Two weeks straight of sweet mangoes is cloying (but good for digestion!). Will hold off buying them for now.
