This is a treat for hubby when we went to Starbucks recently. I let him have the choice to choose his fave white chocolate mocha and he wanted it cold. I let him have his way.

As for me I am happy just to be able to pass by there, sit down, have a sip of what hubby is having and have some relaxing time with my boys. Being able to read the local and national papers while we are there is enough for me then we’re good to go. I’ve had too much coffee from Starbucks and even from The Coffee Bean Tea Leaf when I was going for their planners from November to December. Now that I have my planners one each from these coffee shops. I am more than contented already and less coffee for me means less expense and a little more savings for a food trip instead.

The little boy had also his treat from me. He always want their lemon lollipop. He does not drink any Starbucks beverage. I think it is best if he did not drink any of their beverage at all. I’d be happy if he just have plain water. There’s coffee or chocolate and/or too much sugar for him sometimes which ain’t good for him. I’m happy he also isn’t asking for his own drink nor ask to even just sip.

What did I expect? Hahaha! Hence I am now so hungry and it is just three minutes away just in time for midnight snacks on the dot. Oh my am really hungry. So next time when you are trying to diet after Christmas day, I should remind myself not to open any food website or group page for foodies at FB or elsewhere. Eating and getting hungry at this hour is just to hard to resist. *Wink!*

Tonight the little boy was asking for french fries and pizza from his dad. Rather than opting for delivery though, hubby and I decided to go for picking up the pizza on his way home. It was like delivery on time. Those delivery guys who got lost before trying to deliver food to our place should get a GPS. It should really help them find their way on time for fast delivery.

At the first few times before, I would consume two to four servings. Yeah that much but that is given I have not eaten breakfast or should I say that is for brunch or good for lunch+dinner at the same time. I would have to make sure that I would no longer eat rice at night or else I need to have those diet pills that work according to hubby. So I can make an excuse that in a day all in all I have eaten four servings of rice. But still it ain’t good I know. That is why lately I try to skip that resto with unlimited rice. I cannot make it a habit to eat there and so I could stick to at least twice a day only of eating rice and no more unli rice.

Anyway, since she was busy at work, the boys and I still went for dinner at the place where I wanted to bring my sis. But we did not avail of the free chicken salad or something just yet because I and the boys won’t eat it anyway. Maybe next time when, my sister is there with us for she loves salads. Hope next time we invite her she would no longer be busy at work to decline our invite.

I have to agree on this one that I saw over at Twitter. That is why I love to eat and this can be an excuse perhaps to dine well at my fave restos. *wink* Okay I am supposed to be on a diet and food control mode. It also made me think this is something that my dear hubby should be thinking and digesting to understand the things that happen around that he often say he cannot understand.

It is also a nice experience for the little boy to make his own pizza hands-on at this age! Parents were asked to pay a hundred bucks for their pizza making camp package A which consists of solo hawaiian pizza, juice, plus a green apron and a certificate supposedly but I don’t know where it is. Well I hope we can one day do this kind of activity here at home as a bonding activity – our own pizza making activity right here at home!

It might also be a factor that hubby and I love food and we love to do food trips. We are also lucky that we have ready access here to restaurants particularly buffet restos, fast foods with food delivery service too, and a few malls nearby as in just a few minutes ride away. Plus there is a new one to open later this year and another one next though farther away. We are lucky for the continued expansion of malls in the city. There would be more choices of food and restaurants. The one thing we would be concerned of is the budget. But definitely we are lucky to be basically be provided with food for our “daily bread” and for that we are so thankful!
