This was taken last Friday morning while we were at the MIL’s place. I was waiting for that big bird that I have been hearing every time I am at my MIL’s place to come into view but my waiting was in vain because it did not appear or I was just too “blind” to see where it was. I was happy enough to get this photo though.
Weekend was spent staying in because the man of the house was not feeling well.
Have a great week, everyone 🙂

Those who have been participating in the Weekly Questions are women. So I decided to post a question that will have them answer if they can do man jobs.
Man jobs are those that require individuals, be they women or men, to do man jobs, as professionals or as odd jobs or as emergency jobs.
So the Weekly Question will attempt to answer :
What man jobs can you do?
My answer:

This is a sequel to the WQ #17 Ugh. about whether to continue eating or to abandon eating lasagna with pig’s brain in it.
So the WQ#18 is related to this and here it goes:
What were the worst or weird food (for you) that you have ever eaten? What were your reactions?
My answer:
We have seen people on tv eating bull testicles, big fish eyes, Madagascar Hissing cockroaches and even raw ostrich eggs. Serve these with diet pills and the ideal weight would be achieved in no time. Seriously.
After the WQ#17 post was done, it got me thinking about the things that I have eaten which may not sit well with others. By the way, WP says I edited this first on 11 September, 2008 @ 0:16 by greenbucks
So the following are the things I have eaten as a young girl:
So there, what were the weird culinary (delightful or otherwise) that you have sampled? If you asked me if I would be adventurous enough to try these again, I would probably say, “No, thank you.” to three of these.

The Weekly Question has a story behind it that I would like to include in the question that I am going to send out.
Here goes:
One day, a friend told me about her trip to a nearby province that is known for its culinary arts and expertise. She, together with her family visited a cousin who got married to a wife from that said province.
Filipinos are being known for their hospitality so we could just imagine how scrumptious the food served to them.
As this friend was well into her second serving of the very yummy and creamy lasagna, she happened to comment to her cousin’s wife (who cooked all their food) how the beef in the lasagna is so tender.
She got really surprised when her cousin’s wife relied that she did not use beef in the lasagna.
She used pig brains.
I would not say how my friend reacted so I am going to ask you this question:
If it were you in that situation, what would you do?
My answer:
If it was me and I was well into my second plate still alive, I will probably just eat the remainder of my lasagna.
Or when the hostess is not looking, I will probably go run to the bathroom and try to maybe, force myself to retch whatever can be taken out of my system. Ugh.
I am not really choosy when it comes to food but now that I am not getting any younger, I want to be healthier and be able to eat the right food. Choosing the right food might do the trick and maybe the best diet pills to help me curb the cravings for sweets.

What about you? What would you do? Join me here in my Weekly Questions meme.
Have a great week everyone! 🙂

I remember this song back when I was younger: “I sing because I’m happy. I sing because I’m free. His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.”
Click here to listen to the song and its lyrics.
No, the Weekly Question is not about singing. Yet.
It’s about crying. Why crying? Because this song, with its wonderful lyrics, makes me want to cry. And so does a lot of other things.
So here goes the Weekly Question Number 16:
What makes you cry?
My answer:
There are a lot of things that make me cry:
I cry silent tears.
I sniffle.
What about you? What makes you cry?
