@Anitah Gimase, there are toxic foods that are in canned but if they are still not expiring, it won’t be toxic. Better try to plant some veggies in your yard so safe to eat them and can save some dollars if having some space at home.

At home, we planted some veggies in our backyard like spinach, cabbage, pepper, onions, tomatoes, cauliflower,…[Read more]

That photo you put it, its pinakbet, isn’t it? Anyway, I love chicken curry and fried chicken and probably I will name them because its the popular version of our recipe. But more than that I also love our local version which we call “pinikpikan”. It is a soup based chicken cut into tiny pieces including the internals and saute with fish sauce.

I have a special cheesy chicken enchilada that I like to prepare several times a month. It tastes so cheesy and is so wonderful. My son has even learned how to make this and he is only 13. I also have a honey teriyaki chicken that I make. I get a little selfish when I cook this. I try to make sure no one else is around when I cook it so I can eat…[Read more]

I have to agree with the list you have above but I believe my list would be much longer. There are so many things that I will not eat for whatever reasons. I will not eat onions but  I will cook with it. I hate beans. All beans. But I will cook it for others in the house. I don’t eat pork. I don’t eat bacon. I know. I’m a bad American.

Since…[Read more]

One simple thing to say to all of this is to grow your own vegetables and livestock. Then you will know if it is healthy or not. Why are relying on the government or even the grocery store to provide food for us? We have gotten lazy and expect too much from others. I wouldn’t trust anything that was being raised by the American governments. We…[Read more]

I am not a big fish eater. I rather eat chicken and occasionally eat beef. I do love eating turkey. I do not eat pork of any kind. When it comes to fish, there are only a few kinds of fish that I will eat. For example, I will eat tuna fish but only if it comes from a can and only if it has water and not oil in it. I love to eat catfish but I hate…[Read more]

@PEEUSH TRIKHA, There are many drinks bad for the human body. Our health is so precious, money cannot guarantee if a sick person can be cured especially if the sickness is the big C. There is a drink that is banned, but I noticed it is still sold in different establishments. It was learned that the said drink has killer chemical added to it. I…[Read more]

In fact we started taking soft drinks less and less, almost 10 years back when reports surfaced of the presence of pesticides in many soft drinks.
Occasionally I have them with Pizzas and Burgers, because these drinks “help” in digesting these foods which are hard to digest. 🙂

@nakitakona 13, You are lucky for you have strong determination to stop drinking liquor. Life is so precious. All of us desire to live too long, and it only be interrupted if disease triggers our health to deteriorate. You are right when you said that we have to eat moderately. We also need to exercise more.

In my prime years, I am a voracious eater and drinker. I eat and drink and be merry. I don’t care what tomorrow may bring. Now I am in my senior year to be exact 65 years old. I am very cautious and careful of what I take for I want to stay longer. I stop drinking for 36 long years now. If I want to eat something, I eat it moderately. When I…[Read more]

@EvilElf, That is true my friend ,and that is because we have different frequency of our body metabolism, plus that time that I was in the US embassy for an interview, my heart was beating very badly, that makes it worse after I drink energy drink. I thin if I was only on that happy mood, relax mood, I am so sure that I won’t feel that bad…[Read more]

@Shavkat, it really has a very bad effect. I will never drink any energy drink. You are right, better coffee than energy drink. What I drank during that interview in the US embassy was JOSS. It seems I was lost in the world after I drink that kind of liquid. I think there is drug added to it, and I notice , it is no longer advertised in T V and…[Read more]

@Shavkat, that is true, our heart palpitates fast if drink solid thing that is full of chemical and sugar, It weakens our body system. It makes the person feel the discomfort for the feeling is weak. This was what I felt the first time that I drink Joss energy drink inside the hotel fronting the US embassy. There were two of us my neighbor and she…[Read more]

Many different people have different reactions to energy drinks. One day you will hear that it’s good for you then the next you will hear that it’s bad for you. In today’s society if it doesn’t come from the earth, normally it is bad for us. Energy drinks are full of sugar and other ingredients. It can cause people to have fast heart rates amongst…[Read more]
