The days of meat diet have come and gone and here we are at the threshold of summer. Maligayang Pasko ng Pagkabuhay - though a little bit late. My younger son will not be complaining of dying everyday anymore now that meat is included back in his diet. Such a big sacrifice for him to give up meat on Fridays - let alone on those days of Maunday Thursday to Black Saturday.
The favorite staples of daing na bangus, sardines and salted eggs with diced tomatoes and onions became a fixture in our meal table. When easter came, nabuhay din ang mga cravings sa karne. The Pinoy crowd here in our small town devoured meat ulams like there was no other.
The windows can now be open to aerate the house - new air new life. The rainy days have also started. Kaibahan lang sa Manila, may pasok pa rin kami kahit medyo binabagyo.
I like spring. It holds the promise of summer. The days get longer. One gets to be lazy without any excuse.
