Accidental Diet

You are looking at my lunch today. It was also my breakfast, and would only be the only meal available for the rest of my day. It's a home made fruit shake ( fresh ripe mango) prepared by my ever loving husband. He made lots of it. Left in the fridge for me, before he went to work this morning.



No, I'm not undergoing a self-inflicted dieting (although before this happened, I was onset to go through one cos I'm really really fat now). I had a surgery and still in pain of recuperation. The surgery wounds ( yah, plural with s) won't allow me yet to eat hot solid foods. No eggs, chicken and fishy seafoods yet. I could only take cold soft foods. Which only left me icecream and shakes. Last night I tried cold choco porridge for dinner. It was ok, but I preferred hot champorado, so I didn't enjoy it.
For a foodie like me it's a sad period of not being able to enjoy my food. I'm actually one of those who find pleasure in lingering the food in my mouth, savoring each flavor before letting it down to my tummy. I'm not allowed yet to chew and sip. I could only swallow straight down through my throat. This is very sad.
On the brighter side, this accidental diet would surely benefit my goal to fit in my bikini this summer. Now I'm excited about it!
Being a bed ridden also gives me more time to blog. Sometimes when in pain, I would divert my attention by   tinkering the computer and it helps to alleviate the pain. My other blog site is already benefiting from my medical condition. It has been so updated since my surgery. Well for my foodie friends here, this blog will surely be updated too. I actually have tons of food photos that are lazily piling up.
If I can't eat real food yet, I'd rather share them to you.
later.
or maybe I can share my soft diet inventions straight from my kitchen onto my recuperating dining bed.
maybe.
see ya.

Dried Fish and Mango

I used to hate dried fish in my younger years. It was all nothing but saltiness to me. But lately, when I'm alone at home, I always eat dried fish with any veggies on the side. Now, when I get home to my hometown, I buy kilos of dried fish as stocks for my dailies in Manila, which I used not to have interest of doing before. I even buy at the grocery now if I ran out of stock. My, my.. no goodness! Too much salt from dried fish is surely the culprit of my plumpness these days.

I guess, as we age, our taste buds also mature and become ready with food we hated when we were younger. I saw it to my children. As they add years to their age, their food horizon also broaden.



One thing has not changed in me_ my craziness with fruits. From grapes to durian, I heart them all! It's my sweet tongue, it stays uberly mad with anything sweet through the years.



With green fruits like green apple and green mango, I'm not that crazy thu'. You know, green means sourness which against my sweet tongue. I also eat them but not as much as I savor the ripen sweet fruits.




Like Philippine mango which is the best ! It's in season now. I see a lot of them around and they are getting cheaper. I love mangoes!!!
