Some Gastronomical Indulgence

avatar


Once in a while... Oops, let me rephrase that. Often, without thinking of the consequences, we allow ourselves to indulge in things foods that we find pleasurable not only to our tastebuds but also to our souls (indulging in flavors that make life delicious, so they say).

It is observed that when I am stressed, hurting, or exhausted, I always feel hungry (my stomach feels empty most of the time, and I usually have a nasty headache). In such circumstances, I tend to find comfort in sweet treats. They calm my nerves, my tummy, and my head too.

This shortcake, for instance, was my first treat on coming home from the hospital where Dad was confined earlier last month. I had been attending to him for almost a week until my brother came and took his turn to look after our old man. Being outside felt better and even more delightful with this box of goodness I enjoyed on the way home. Yum!


This pack of sweet delights was a present from the Farmboy when he came to pick me up on the day Mom got discharged. He knew my weakness and had one ready for me to munch on (Bibingka or a gooey cake made from glutinous rice, topped with grated coconut and sweet generous milk). Although I'm weary and tired, I ate 2 slices in the car before we even arrived home, lol!

I don't know about you but no matter how delicious, food tends to be tasteless when I'm in the hospital that's why I often have cereals in the morning and rarely eat other things during the day (only munch on chocolates, chips, or a piece of banana when I feel hungry).

While I am already home, I'm still having oatmeal for breakfast to allow my stomach to adjust to my usual diet (rice meal on normal days). I don't know when that will come but I'm enjoying and savoring the goodness of the healthier light dish on a cup.


I suppose it doesn't hurt to add a bit more sweetness to it with the help of Hershey's😅


Meanwhile, it's Monday down here in DD and it looks like heavy rain is coming as dark clouds keep hovering around, but I hope there will be no more stormy days ahead for we have had so much previously.🙏

Take care and have a happy new week, frens!

Same here, when exhausted woth overthinking. And coz I can't afford a sweet treats, I just buy sweet bread at the market, yong mura at kaya nanh bulsa. But if I have money, I'll surely have cookies, burger with cheese, pizza, spaghetti, omg, there's a lot on my list! Lolol. Anyways that cake looks good, same with the bibigka. And as for me naman, I can eat sa hospital, walang epekto sakin ang hospital when it comes to my eating. Mas gusto kong kumain ng kumain actually, lol

Buti naman sis at hindi apektado ang appetit mo kahit nasa ospital. Madalas nawawala sa akin and sweet foods ang pinagbabalingan. Sa dami ng pagkain na dinadala ng mga kapatid ko, nasisira yung iba.

Didn't know you were hospitalized. Hope all is good now that you're home. It's hard to ease back into your regular foods because you want to forget about the hospital food and dive in all at once. The sweet treat looks delicious. I like layered desserts, especially with the pudding as one of the layers.

Take care and have a good rest of your week.

It wasn't me but Mom & Dad. Hospital stays always disrupt my food intake and sweet desserts and snacks become my comfort food :)

Thank you and I wish you a fantastic new week❤

I see. Apologies for my confusion. Sweets and snacks are my comfort food also, even though my A1C spikes to let me know I've been naughty. Take care.

Are you back from the hospital now? Farmboy should take very good care of you by giving you treats to make up for the time in the hospital 🙂
