food for thought

How do people have the determination not to eat? i think i love my food too much for that, not to be Gluttonous, or greedy. I'm open to trying every type of food different cultures have to offer, and i love how food can fill you with happiness; it's just something i can't live without- partly because you'll die without it lol - food, food, food (although staying healthy and maintaining your body is essential as well).

i think that it was fate that brought me into my particular family because my parents like to experiment in the kitchen, and not just with asian food, but with american, french, sometimes mexican, and surprisingly very good italian food.


My mom cooks on weekdays, and my dad cooks on weekends. Tonight is Sunday; i look forward to sundays because on weekdays i can never eat dinner with my entire family, usually just my mom, my sister and i because we eat dinner earlier than when my dad comes home. So yeah, apart from spending time with my family, i like to sample my dad's cuisine creation for that evening. Some evenings i had chicken fettucine alfredo, penne, spgaghetti with meatballs, and asian-styled linguine. Tonight i think i had oyster mushroom and pine nut linguine on the side with baked salmon. It felt like there was a party in my mouth and everyone was invited, lol.

Anyways, google the recipe, because i must admit for an asian man my dad cooks rather good italian food.

P.S: bake the salmon, and don't fry it! cuts the amount of fat in it, though salmon is a good source of omega-3 fats.

Occasionally my parents will drive down to toronto, for whatever it may be that they need to do down there, like going to the optometrist, or just visiting for fun; usually they follow an unspoken schedule: go to eat at this pho restaurant on college, then starbucks (there's like one on every block), do whatever it is they need to do for the day, and then go over to Chinatown for groceries and whatever - usually it's around this time my parents release my sister and i to just go and explore, which may sound weird to some of you but i do know my way around ;) - and head home on gardiner expressway.

HOWEVER, i have visited california on several occasions, but only can remember three of the six times i've visited, and in '06 and '08 (i visited when i was 8 but it's kind of fuzzy the memory), my cousins took me out to this burrito place called Chipotle; OH MY GOD, best mexican food i've ever tasted.

Enough with the California nostalgia, i recently discovered towards the end of this summer that there's a chipotle in Yonge and Dundas Square. There's going to be a new stop in my parents' unspoken schedule now! Anyways, whenever you're just down there for whatever reason, just stop by there, I guarantee you it's the best burrito you'll ever, ever, ever, ever experience eating. EVER. Now only if there was a way to get the frozen yogurt fad to canada... :)
