Nourishment

A big bowl of spaghetti! For my nieces and nephews a big bowl of spaghetti is enough nourishment for all of them. I can still remember how they've waited for me to finished cooking everytime I had the chance to cook for them. Sometimes when the meat ( my eldest sister have always provided the grinded beef) was late or my other sister have forgotten to bring it, that I had to think of another option for the sauce, that sometimes I used sardines(Ligo brand) and they would say it also tastes so good. Birthdays in our family was never complete without any spaghetti or noodles in the menu. We have also that saying or shall I say it is a symbol--that it makes the celebrant's life longer. Of all my best memories with my siblings and their children, it was when we get together and eat. Rice have always been the best nourishment for all of us, too - especially when there's no other food around. There was also a time that my eldest sister decided that we tried the first class rice but it turned out that we have spend more money because, we have consumed the whole sack of rice very easily and our expenses were doubled. In the Philippines, (it is where the Rice Institute and Research is located), we have different kinds of rice from the most expensive to the cheapest and from the most tastiest to the most healthiest (but not so tasty good) - that it has become inevitable.
