103. Time for another entry dedicated to food! One word. Palabok. Delicious bihon noodles smothered in scrumptious bright orange shrimp sauce and heavenly toppings. It's one of my favorite foods ever in spite of the fact that I am deathly allergic to shrimp. I just take some anti-allergy medications before submitting myself to temptation especially since your grandmother makes the best palabok I've ever had the pleasure to taste. I must say that I'm thankful to you for inviting me to some of your family events. I cannot put my finger as to what exactly made it so special. I admire your family because all of you are such good cooks. Before my grandmother had a stroke she was the greatest cook in our family and her specialty was the caldereta and ironically, that's one of the only few dishes I know. We just seemed to have more quality food in those days than the fare we have now due to the lack of talented cooks and limited budget for experimenting. That's what I like about being at your house, so many people there are such good cooks. I know we've had days wherein we've experimented with cooking but somehow nothing compares to have someone doing the actual teaching while cooking. Someday I will have to ask your grandmother for her recipe and have you cook it with me.
