eaten for granted
hm... never thought that i would say this but...
i miss QFC!!!!!! i miss US food!!! >____<
weird, huh?
it all happened yesterday, when i was trying to cook some food after a few days of horrible and not-that-cheap take outs. my parents went to argentina for a few weeks, which means that there's only my brother and i left in the house. my brother doesn't really cook, and me, well... neither, therefore, whenever i'm back at home we would end up discussing for 10min bout our dinner plans. our whole conversation would be like the following:
bro: "so... what do u wanna eat for dinner?"
me: "... dunno... what do U wanna eat?"
bro: "i'll eat whatever u want to. u tell me and i'll go get it"
me: "but i dunno what's around. so why dun u think and whatever u feel like gettin, get 2 of it"
bro: "... but tell me what u want!"
me: "........ "
bro: "........................."
and for some reason, we always end up gettin some flavorless shitty food... was my impression about delicious food in tw wrong??? all those years living abroad, what made us foreign students miss most was our hometown food, our mouth would release extra saliva whenever we think about it. then how come that now i'm back, my stomach still hasn't felt the satisfaction of being filled by delicacy at all?
that's what made me wanna cook yesterday. i'm too sick of eatin boring yucky stuff. it's not right that my dream of good food was being broken. so i went to the nearest supermarket to get some groceries, thinking that i might be able to prepare something more decent than take-outs.
and it took me 40min to get 3 items... all coz there was nothing interesting to buy, nothing "looked" yummy... the food was not fresh at all...
that's when i started wishing there was a QFC here... i miss QFC now... eventho i seldom buy groceries in QFC, but at least i enjoyed my grocery runs. they were pleasant with a good variety of choices, unlike yesterday's...
our dinner last nite was this cream sauce spaghetti using canned soup and milk with tuna and onion. but it wasn't till later when i heard that my brother doesn't like italian pasta...
i cooked anyway, but the food didn't turn out as good as i had expected... there was some flavor missing and i didn't know how to improve it. it was obvious that my poor bro forced himself to finish his plate since he added a huge hot chilli next to his pasta just to cover the taste.
i feel bad that i made my brother eat that horrible plate. all he said was "... it's too dry..." but he ate it all anyway. he normally wouldn't touch food that he doesn't like, so he was really sweet yesterday not bitching bout my cooking.
hehehe~~ my bro is really nice to me ^__^
that's why i felt so bad and funny in a way when my bro saw the leftover pasta on the pan and asked me bout it in a very worried tone, " ...that much pasta left?!"
hahahaha~~~ i could feel his worries and panic
dun worry bro, now i brought the leftover over to my sis' place. MUUUahahahaha~~~ and make her and the kids taste the horror.
that's it. i've decided to shop in another grocery store now. i dun care, i will not live with shitty food!!!
