It never ceases to amaze me on how the dish "Sinigang" came into being. I mean, you just basically boil meat on water then drop some what-not vegetables in it, put a souring agent in it (depends on you--whatever could make that sour face of yours contort more to beat that wringed silk cloth) and you got yourself a dish. You can even watch a movie while cooking.
Don't mind the sarcasms. I love "Sinigang" so much that if there was a poll on what dish is to remain on the face of the Earth else it would implode, I'd vote for it any day.
...at least if it was cooked by me or my brother.
I never realized the time when this divine dish (for me) started to taste bland. But there's just this psychological monument inside me that can't be easily bulldozed that says "It's Sinigang and it's your favorite." So either my tongue is getting numb of the flavor or I have an amnesia of what sourness tastes like.
Just as I woke this afternoon, I turned and rounded around that musty kitchen of ours to get something to eat. Behold! Laying there inside the casserole is a fresh batch (you know what I'm talking about). I savored the aroma, feeling a tickling sensation between my cheekbones. I got a plate, grabbed that serving spoon and served myself a treat after being up until 5 A.M. I walked back to the dining room and sat down ready to indulge myself. Now it was in the afternoon and all the shows on TV were all drama shows except for a few noon time entertainment show. I'm not really into TV, much more celebrities, but this afternoon, this batch of Sinigang, this batch 's flagrant aroma that I savored, this batch that made my cheeks tickle suddenly became bland.
I finished my meal and memoed myself, never to eat this dish whilst people in the house are watching Wowowee. *shudders*
The show's not entirely at fault. No, no. Just one person who I can't stand hearing. Hearing him makes me want to to a reverse-sadako technique and go inside any TV set and do a round-house kick on his face while wearing a 100kg shoe made of a massive metal soon to be discovered in the future.
Oh well, that may BE his charisma since he got my attention by making me spite him so much.
At least it's evening now. I can eat Sinigang peacefully. *drools*
~Aaaarrgh!!!~ Primetime Drama Shows...c...an't....eat....
