shopping and food. the life.
i. christmas shopping
It all boiled down to the Is it Time to Eat, Yet? 1 and the Our Lunch Box. Cuteness-wise, I wanted the teeny tiny bento replicas. Practicality-wise, the kitchen assortment was a better bargain since it had food, cooking utensils, even dishwashing liquid! So to end the tie, I had my mom decide, since, well, it was her Christmas gift to me anyway.

So, Is it Time to Eat, Yet? 1 WINS! I should've known, my mom was always nuts about kitchen utensils. ^_^;;

Now I'm trying to decide whether I should order Our Lunch Box myself, hahahaha.

ii. crazy over couscous
Curiosity pays, sometimes. Last night, my mom and I checked out that new Mediterranean resto at Alabang Town Center, aptly called Cafe Mediterranean. If I'm not mistaken, they also have a branch at Greenbelt, the old wing, along D' Original Jamaican Patty store. Still, we've never eaten there, so eating at their ATC branch was a new experience.

We ordered some hummus off the bat, since I love it so. And it was a good choice, since their hummus is really good. For the main course, my mom got some Moroccan fish served with buttered rice. I got some beef kebabs. After seeing coucous a lot of times on the menu at <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/bentolunch> bentolunch</a>, I decided to go and order some with my kebabs. And it was one thing that wowed me. The couscous. It was absofarkingtasticalutely good! It had this super enjoyable texture; it reminded me of fish roe and kiwi fruit, the way it seemed to explode in my mouth. The kebabs was a little dry, probably because they're still on their soft opening run, so I forgave them. But it was all because their hummus and couscous made me happy. Next goal: Learn to make hummus and find a local store that sells couscous. Easy enough goals, right? :D
