Life's Lessons Are Gifts: Rainy Day Food Trips

Life's Lessons Are Gifts: Rainy Day Food Trips

Rainy Day Food Trips

Been working since three a.m. and its raining! I know I want to eat soon and since I got a little of my salary last night from oDesk I plan on going to the market early to buy something that could sustain me for a whole day of writing--yeah, I know. Assignments. Hoping to squeeze in a chapter or two to a Gems imprint planned manuscript.

Coincidence, coincidence. Researching for something my characters would eat on a date at the cinema, and I settled on KFC's Bucket of Fries. But then I came upon a picture of this:
Chicken Noodle Soup
Which then brought me to these places:
Noodle Soup
Chicken Pot Pie
Another Chicken Pot Pie 
Chicken Sopas



Chicken Congee -- or Lugaw in the Philippines

If you're feeling like cooking these, they're all linked to their recipes, with ingredients that are basically pretty easy to find sa palengke (in the market). Me on the other hand is on my way hoping to make up something from these inspirations. I just know I'll do so much with a large potful of something of everything ready all day. You know a strange practice I do when I'm planning to write for the day for PHR? I don't eat a rice meal. I get very sleepy and that ruins EVERYTHING. So I eat rice later. 

Babu!
