Sometimes when I get homesick and I am missing my family, I turn to food as my comfort. Not the food here but the food that I used to eat when I was still there. That's when I cook foods that I miss, the food that reminds me of my family, the food that I can eat and fill that longing that I have for them.
I sometimes see this dried baby shrimps at an Asian store so I buy it and just stock them in my storage that way when I am craving for some native food, I cook. I cook some bitter melon in coconut milk, lemon grass, hot peppers, onions, and the dried shrimp. Do you do what I do when getting homesick?

- The school is still closed due to 10 below freezing temperature that we have.
- I made chicken adobo for dinner.
- Despite the freezing weather, my husband took our son to his gym;nastic class. Me and daughter did not go because I was in pain (menstrual cramp). After getting better from the cold, now I have the Lady Red sickness, sigh.
I love all food though I change my mind often to what I crave, It varies from country to country, though maybe on of my favourites is the Spanish dish Paella which I have not made for a while, time to cook it I think. Have a good day Diane
ReplyDeletefood with coconut milk, I liked most especially with pepper or Jalapeno.
ReplyDeleteJust a few more days and everything will be fine, just rest and drink lots of water sis :)
ReplyDeleteThis would really be a delight to the taste bud with a slightly bitter taste.
ReplyDeleteI have that one too, in my pantry. I love making my on dishes especially this winter. I stayed more in the kitchen and make our meals.
