My dutiful wife, whenever she’s in the mood, would ask me: “What do you like for lunch or dinner?” That’s as if we’ve so many choices. But even when we’re down to only two choices like – fried bangus (milkfish) or coal-roasted tilapia, eggplant, okra and tomatoes, my answer would simply be: “Thanks! I’m OK, I’ll prefer raisin bread and green tea for now.”
At times, when she’s not in the mood of cooking, I’ll be surprised with delivered Chinese fast food on the dining table. The trouble is that in this time of the pandemic, we have to sanitize the box and packaging of the food that was brought in, except you can’t achieve that level of sophistication overnight when you’re starving.
