Thoughts On Transitions

Can You Say Overload?

For some reason McCormick seems to be phasing out my husband's favorite seasoning Lemon And Herb. If you know my husband you know it's not good. He's not very adventurous when it comes to eating. He can rotate 10 different kinds of food day to day for the rest of his life and be content.

This I suppose makes it a lot easier for me as a housewife but could be problematic when one of them becomes unavailable. I strongly suspect that the main reason why he never considered working in the Philippines when he could ask his office to be transferred there was because of his beloved blueberry bagels. Unless there is an Einstein Bros Bagels franchise in Manila, we're staying put.

So back to the Lemon and Herb story. When we couldn't find them in any of the stores anymores, we ordered it in Amazon. The only hitch is that it was only available at this size for a set of 2. It is ridiculously big it had us chuckling. The bad news? The stock is running low even online.

I got the above movies and cds from the library yesterday. I wanted to find out just how many is the limit in borrowing their media titles. I found out from the check out counter that I could take out 10. The Cinderella movie is really for me. All that Evan wants to watch is Diego.

Okay this array of fruit should last us for a week. I hope they don't spoil before then because it's only me and Evan who's pretty much doing the eating. I guess I may be overcompensating for last week when we ran out of fruit, which is pretty unusual in our house. The thing I miss most about working was our office being near a produce store which had a good selection of fruits and vegetables at relatively cheap prices. But now it would be too far to drive there just for that sole purpose and the ones available in the grocery nearby are either too expensive, limited variety or poor quality.

Last night. Evan after coming out from the bathroom: "I'm a fast peer. A fast peer is a good peer."

Won't they keep in the freezer? -- the herbs I mean.

Someone I live with is also like that. He has resisted pizza, burgers, pasta and the like and keeps looking for siopao and savory chicken and pancit miki bihon. Can be a problem, no?

Ed, Evan ate his blueberries with more enthusiasm than the previous times I bought them, maybe because they are tastier when they are in season or maybe because because it's been awhile since he's had them. That's good that LA still likes apples, Evan prefers pears more now, unless if I cut the apple differently.

Woman, thanks so much. You have a great site! Congratulations!

It must be the half Filipino in them that makes them eat so much fruit. Little Abbey goes through that much herself in a week. I normally get her a couple bags of grapes, a bunch of bananas, a half dozen apples, a bag or two of carrots and sometimes some strawberries.
