We went out today to Andrea Foods in Vallejo (my classmate Joji's restaurant). We had the usual lechon (Andrea's specialty) plus ukoy and fresh lumpia. I didn't let Joji know we were there until we were almost done eating. Nevertheless, she sent us home with some food -- kalabasa and four kinds of desserts.
After lunch we got more balut for Ma. Then we went back to Andrea's because she forgot that she wanted dinuguan. Afterwards we went to Red Ribbon for sago at gulaman for Isa. As long as we were in the area, we also got chicken skin chicharon and siopao (chicken and pork).
Tito Lum cooked the balut for Ma. He said he used to sell balut when he was in college. He'd buy 1000 eggs and cook them in a barrel. Then the neighborhood kids would sell them for him at 3 for 1 peso. Half of that was his profit. The eggs would be gone in 3 days.
Later that day, Ma had two visitors. I think they were people she met at church. After they left, she fell asleep in her rocking chair. I finally woke her up at 8pm for dinner. Her appetite is very good, but she's down to 112 lbs.
