Green Revolution

Strangely, I'm on a "green" diet for three weeks now with salads on top of my preference.

I was never conscious about what my body looks like and was not even close to be called a health buff. I've gone on gyms and pushed weights, but tis because my tropa were there with me and "fun" was a prior reason before the fact of seeing me-self with greasy "maskels". Kadiri nga sa lalake yung ganung mamutok-mutok ang maskels e... at least, in my opinion. Yun nga hindi ko maintindihan with girls eh. Some would swear for their chunky musclemen.

Lumalayo na. Back on topic, it was several days ago that my friends here at work introduced me to this salad store, one lunch time. I seldom go out to buy lunch since most of the times my mom prepares baon for me (sabi ko sa inyo mama's boy ako e) but I assure that when I don't have my baon, I buy really mucho big time meals. That day at the salad store was not an exemption. I had this full serving of seafood antipasto that was really "muy delicioso!", as how Dora the Explorer would say it.

Di na ako nag baon on the following days after that. Instead, I've tried every salad concoctions I could find around the area or when available, even those of the fastfood chains' (Jolleebug, MikDonelds, KFZ). Masarap siya talaga. I've been eating salads before but I haven't appreciated it like how I do now, and I guess it was triggered by the seafood antipasto. Wala akong pakelam sa health benefits niya and stuffs, basta nasasarapan ako sa kanya. Yun yun.

So, since I've been furthering my attempts to distract me-self from the hurting sting of the love bug, I decided to challenge my skills again: I will learn how to prepare a seafood antipasto!

*grins*

Astig 'to. Must resist lonesome. Busog pa ako.

I started scouring the net for guidelines and even talked to one of the store's sales ladies to give me a hint regarding the salad. Matapos ang konting pambobola, she gave me this brochure that has a list of the basic ingredients for their products. It's pretty straightforward to prepare as most salads are. The secret lies on how you'll prepare the dressing. Yun yung nagpasarap sa antipasto nila e. Sabi ko nga ke Manang Salad, pag nahuli ko pano gawin yung antipasto, magtatayo ako ng salad bar sa mismong tabi nila para kumpitensyahin sila e. Bwehehehe. Tawa naman si Manang.

So ayun, I'll gonna post the recipe as soon as I was able to succesfully prepare one. My progress is good with the fact that I was able to identify the basic stuffs I'll be needing and the measurements on how those will be mixed up. Nakakuha na din ako ng kopya ng paggawa ng honey mustard dressing for salads.

Ready na ko. Nag iisip na lang ako ng araw kung kelan gagawa.

Other salads of preference:
Tropicana
Buko Lychee
Waldorf
McDo's Garden Salad
KFC's Chicken Salad - Asian Dressing
Tuna Macaroni
Wendy's Salad Bar

*****

Commercial:



Taenang kanta talaga yan. Infectious.

This one's the actual movie edit of the song, performed by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett. Cute cute ni Haley on this scene. Kahit fair-skinned siya, and I was not much into it (exempted si Batgurl syemps), her chinky eyes made it all.

Paulit ulit na nga tumutugtog dito sa PC ko eh, and pinches me right smack in the heart everytime. Ika nga ng lola ko, "ahaaaay."

Ahehe buti ka pa natuto ka nang kumain ng salad. Ako, sabi ng nanay ko, kung kumain ako ng salad, mas madami pa yung "add-ons" kaysa sa greens. Pero there's one thing I like though, yung Pomelo Salad sa Pho Hoa. Try mo. Surprisingly masarap, wala sa itsura. :)
