My Own Assumption Of The Fallout

 I want to start decorating for the Holidays however I think it's way too early. It's only the 14th of November. To set up electric x'mas lights outside then it's either that's a show-off of extravagance because it's really too early. You know how much is the electric bill per household in Canada right?

I know people everywhere love the glitters of spectacular lights but in times of  so many important aspects of budgeting that too can wait.

For the many businesses promoting Christmas "is just around the corner"  and commercialization is better too early than too late then they can compete with the rest of those companies who are into that kind of spirit.


 Though I found myself trying to reduce food intake still I cannot stop eating specially if I'm the cook in my own home. I tried not to move and sulk for a while until it was too late at night and nobody's moving to cook then I realized...I have children and a husband and I have to feed and serve them.

Palabok is easy to cook than the pancit guisado. So there...

Duh!

The next day I felt too lazy to cook anything. If I don't want to eat have to stop cooking. I think my husband knew that I'm sulking and he then helped cook. Actually I'm not sulking. I had a severe headache or migraine that made me call to God and pray not that I don't pray. I pray all the time. The severe pain is almost unbearable like as if there is something sharp piercing my head. It was at the time of the super typhoon Yolanda. I had to cover my head, enclosed it with a turban around my head to stop  the stabbing bulging pain. It feels like parang "kulam." Something to that effect. It has affected my eyes, sore and painful that I first thought it's the end.

I could only think of  radiation bombardment in outer space hitting like a "landfall." You know when radiation and radio activity when it reached the ground or land right? FALLOUT!

Cosmic. Costly! Why I felt it and others don't? Right that's great question. The people here are so immune already. Hindi na sila tinatablan ng ganung effect dahil sanay na sila. Besides they probably felt it however when they reasoned out they might be labeled as insane, crazy or bopol. Hahahaha! But I'm not crazy! I'm just a very intelligent human being and to explain the effect of fallout is you have to be just like Einstein to explain the science behind it. Maybe there's no cloud on the upper portion of the sky where I live. Nothing covers the atmosphere. When there's no clouds to cover the sky the radiation is severe and harmful.

So what really happened in Tacloban is what you call the theatrical effect of the ancient Excalibur, battle of Mactan, the return of MacArthur and the Yolanda's rage. To sum it all it  is the "Stationary Front."


 
 I was craving for cassava cake and when I discovered that a store sells this kind of roots then better to cook something from scratch. There are grated cassava already in packages in an Asian store however let me try these fresh cassava roots.

 
 So have to peel the "bark like skin" of the cassava roots, then cut them into small cubes and grind them with the use of the blender/mixer machine. Combine  some other ingredients: milk, melted butter, sugar, eggs including the coconut milk and grated cassava to  the mixing bowl. Mixed and blend all the ingredients thoroughly, put them in a pan and baked it at 375 degrees C until it turns brown and or you can prick the cake clean with a clean toothpick. Or best to have it bake until 25 minutes to 40 minutes. Just watch or check twice what you are baking when you don't have a timer.



 
Anyways, rotini pasta combined with crab ravioli makes the day. Fresh fruits on the side and creamy rich  yogurt with fruit flavours enhanced my appetite.
