My husband eat salad as part of his every day meal, boring with the same food I ate every week I tried to eat salad as well. Since I am the one who prepared it I know what are the ingredients, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, garlic, chicken tidbits, soy sauce, olive oil and small portion of rice mixed together.

I have been trying it for few days, eating salad at night and I have noticed I am slowly losing weight. With that discovery, I might put salad on my daily diet instead of eating big serving of rice and viand at night.

One of the local food I bought from the Asian store in downtown is bagoong or shrimp paste. It is one of the popular condiment in the Philippines it is either made of fermented fish or shrimps. My husband doesn’t like the smell and he always complaint every time I open the jar and eat it with tomato.

So I decided to saute the shrimp paste with garlic, onion and tomato. I also added one tablespoon of sugar for sweet tastes, after cooking it smells good that I immediately ate and then I remember I forgot to cook it with pork.

Shrimp paste or bagoong is best when paired with green mango.

These past few days I am so busy boxing things we don’t use anymore and needs to go home, I am boxing things as much as I can so they won’t be left behind when we left Korea and I can also travel light. With that, I forgot to eat and I will just realize that I am hungry when I felt dizzy moving around.

The other night with only an hour before we sleep I decided to prepare egg and sausage sandwich for myself, it was a good thing that there’s only one pair of bread left that I can look after my diet, you know older people say it is bad to eat a lot at night.
