If it were all left in hands I’d rather have a very short and splendid affair rather than a long enduring one. I do believe in true love. I know it should include all if not every emotion known there is to humankind. I however, am also a very romantic person. Maritoni Fernandez’s line in A Beautiful Affair ( A television series produced by ABS-CBN) said, “Romance is easy, love isn’t.” I can’t remember how she phrased it exactly but that’s the closest I could get. For me however, I think romance requires more work than love, because for me love should come naturally.
Without doubt I am lead to this article by my eternal love for hellos and goodbyes and my never ending penchant for ballads. Nonetheless, my heart and mind knows the distinction between reality and fantasy. Having a little bit of both is not a bad idea, I know for sure. In retrospect, all of this probably started when I watched El Dorado. Yes, EL Dorado the Dreamworks produced movie(I really think the movie is highly applicable for my premise.).
Hmm, so what do I really want? I keep racking my brain for sweet short memories but I can’t really find one that stands out. How about that boy I met one night in a strange place with strangers (whom I was forced to spend the night with partying and having fun). He was cool and the first ever person who said I intimidate him and his card tricks won’t work on me. I really wanted to try those card tricks (the Cyril type of card tricks), darn! We left the place at dawn (it happened to be his house). Morning came and I forgot all about him. I’m pretty sure these things I’m writing now won’t sync with what I felt that time. All those tequila shots and cold burgers aren’t fit for something or anything romantic in my book.
Now, is perhaps the best time to tell you that what I’m posting today isn’t a recipe post. The thing is I forgot where I wrote this particular dish’s recipe and I didn’t want to hazard a guess. All I remember is that this is inspired by a Mexican pop star and that it wasn’t made with all-Mexican ingredients. Let’s see… I did use very ripe garden tomatoes, garlic and some onion with small red chilies and canola (or was it vegetable?) oil. The chicken was poached and I simply added carrots, cabbage and steamed beans.
Here’s two of what I’ve created with that forgotten recipe. We did enjoy eating this too bad I can’t share the recipe.
