Cutting the Cheese!

Its been a great run of Olympics.  From Atlanta all the way to Vancouver, the experiences have been terrific.  One of the closes thing to my heart is the food.  Beijing, the Chinese food was great, Torino the great european cheeses sustained me.  Had a tough time finding that stuff here due to our crazy hours, but what surprised me the most was the good food in yes….our own commissary.                                                                             

Whereas the cheese kept me going in Italy, the soup prepared by the staff soothed the long days.  My favorite was the Butternut ginger soup.    There were usually four choice s of soup and Ithey were all good.  Medalist were Potatoe Leak, seafood chowder and the spicy beef pot.                                     When we did go out I was able to taste a bit of Bone Marrow and Chicken Saltibucco.  It looked as good at tasted.  Very exotic for some, but not for a filipino like me.

You can find fast food as well and honestly the only fast food I had here was my favorite.

There are only five of these store in all of Vancouver and I found the one in the Filipino district on the way to work. 

Some things reminded me on my heritage…Mom would do wonders with stuff like this.  Some things remind me of home. It all comes back to the cheese.  Got some at Safeway to hold me over til I found some on a tray.

Been a good Olympics and I didn’t gain a pound!
