Food Choices #6

Snack-ables

1. Do you snack? On what times? What do you snack on?
>>> I usually snack between 3 and 5PM, and if it's not sandwich I am eating, it's usually corn chips.

2. Healthy or Junk foods?
>>> Because junk foods are readily available, I would say I am leaning towards junk foods, but I sure want to eat healthy foods as well.

3. I tend to snack on sugar-loaded drinks – do you? If so what?
>>> Here's the thing. If brother's here, that's the time I get to drink lots of softdrinks, but if he's in La Union, I just drink water. I really am not the type of person who would open my wallet to buy sodas.

4. Do you take coffee in the afternoon?
>>> If I am eating spaghetti during lunch, I usually fix myself a cup of coffee.

5. What do you munch on all the time?
>>> Corn chips!

Fear Factor:
Are you willing to cook for snacks/merienda? Why or why not?
>>> Of course! That would be great.

Tell Me:
Give me one snack you can eat everyday for the rest of your life.

I am such a chicharon addict, and if there's one finger food/snack I would want to eat, this would be it, but I won't. Actually, the last chicharon I ate was last October. Although this is my favorite, I am now trying hard to control it because I don't want to die young. =)

Sweet Treats 101
1. Which do you often snack on – sweet, sour, spicy?
>>> Salty. I am not really much on the other flavors. At most times, I get satisfied eating salty chips.

2. Can you tell me what specific food you snack on in relation with your answer to number#1?
>>> Corn chips. My favorite is J&J Chippy (red) and J&J Tostillas (yellow)

3. Cakes or chocolates?
>>> Cakes. Although I eat chocolates, I am very picky when it comes to it. I only eat bar chocolates and I usually go for the bittersweet ones. However, I only eat chocolates when I am in the mood for some. It's weird though, because I love chocolate flavored food - cakes, ice cream.. etc.

4. If you love chocolates, which do you prefer – milk, dark, with almonds, etc?
>>> Dark, with nuts.

5. How do you control your cravings for sweet stuff (I have a hard time with mine!)?
>>> I am not really into sweet foods, so I don't really have a problem with those stuffs.

Fear Factor:
Tell me what big thing will stop you from snacking sweets.
>>> FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) level going up. Currently, my FBS is 105, the normal is up to 120. I am starting to get alarmed because diabetes runs in our blood.

Tell Me:
I have such a sweet tooth. Can you show me something sweet to eat?

This was taken last July, when my sister and I attended the Italianni's blog event. After the very heavy lunch, they presented us with plates of oh-so yummy desserts. The one in front is their dessert sampler (three desserts in one plate - I wasn't able to capture the other one), the one in the middle is ice cream pudding, and the two-toned one is the ice cream cake for the birthday celebrant, I just forgot who owned this one - Fran or Azrael. I got to taste all desserts, and my favorite is the one in the middle.

Healthier You 2009

1. What are your fitness and health goals this year?

2. Are you dieting? What is an effective diet plan for you?
>>> I have always failed in any diet plan I entered.

3. If you are intent on losing, what is more important – poundage or inches?
>>> Inches. Some people have big bones, which means that they would weigh heavier.

4. Do you take diet pills?
>>> No. I am afraid to.

5. Choose only one – diet or exercise? Why?
>>> Exercise. Food is just so good!

Fear Factor:
One effective diet tip you would like me to know. Share please. I’m desperate :)

Tell Me:
Would you go under the knife if all else fails?
>>> Yes. I would love to have bariatic surgery and tummy tuck because I am way so obese.

Eat like a king during lunch!
1. What time do you usually eat lunch?
>>> It's either 9AM or 2PM.

2. Do you combine breakfast and lunch together – brunch? What is usually the reason?
>>> Yes. I usually eat my brunch at 9AM or eat lunch at 2PM. I just got used to it... I sometimes would just sit in front of the computer and forget the time, so I just eat 2-in-1 meals so I won't eat that often.

3. What do you usually eat for lunch?
>>> If I have time to cook, I would cook rice and viand. Otherwise, I'd go for a quick cooking food like spaghetti. If there are left overs from last night's dinner, I would just reheat it.

4. Do you eat like a king or a pauper during lunch?
>>> Pauper. I eat like a king for dinner.

5. Do you eat dessert after eating even if at home? What do you usually take?
>>> We're not really dessert eaters, but if there are fruits, that's what we eat.

Fear Factor:
Durian or Balot?
>>> Balot. I really cannot eat durian. I can take the smell of durian, but the taste, I really CANNOT take.

Tell Me:
What one dish are you dying to eat that is usually just served during the holiday season?
>>> Spaghetti with Two Sauces. It's not a typical Christmas dish, but here in our home, I started cooking this for Christmas sometime ago, and it was a hit with the family, that we only serve it during Christmas lunch. I am now looking forward to eat it again.

When I was still over at the old food blog, I saw this very nice food meme, but it went on hiatus when I transferred here. Every Thursday, I would check Aggie's blog for this meme, and I am happy that it's back now.

1. Hearty Breakfast or Skip the Breakfast? Why?
>>> Hearty and heavy breakfast. I normally eat dinner around 4 or 5PM, so when I wake up the next morning, I would feel really hungry. If I can have rice for breakfast, I would be very happy.

2. It’s 6AM and you need to wake-up. Which one do you drink – coffee, milk, hot chocolate, juice or soda? Hot or cold?
>>> Hot coffee - very bitter and sweet at the same time.

3. Usual breakfast – pancakes, pan de sal / bread, cereals or rice?
>>> Rice. But if there are no left over rice, I would go with whatever is available.

Fear Factor:
Which would you eat – a cockroach or a worm? You need to really choose! Why?
>>> Worm. I can just slurp it and swallow it. Cockroach is very difficult to eat because you need to chew on it, and its feet have this spikes that are totally gross.

Tell Me:
Can you give me one dining place I need to try out this holiday season?
>>> Max's Restaurant. With their "Just Got Lucky" thingie going on, you might just get free foods when you hear the rooster while you're eating. =)
