Sharing my childhood biscuit

My son's snack

apple, rosquillos, dalandan juice

I just re-discovered the 70's biscuit that my Mom used to buy, rosquillos

How many of you remember this from childhood?

Ok fine, so I grew up in the 70's

You all know I already celebrated my 40th

Anyhow, a month ago, while in the grocery

Spotted the rosquillos and remembered my childhood

My kids, esp my eldest, got the Western palate

Mostly the cooking of their father

And growing up in hotels

In Bangkok, our food at home was ordered from the Room Service of the

hotel where my husband worked!

Our condo was an elevator away from the hotel

And yea, we lived in the condo connected to Gaysorn Plaza

Oh, those Bangkok years

Back to the main story

My kids have never tasted Kraft Cheddar

not my shortcoming

they just refuse

Funny how a friend of my son's had lunch here a few days back

and we had rigatoni with prawns with of course parmesan cheese

He innocently asked where we buy "real" cheese

Santi's, home for all the homesick Swiss, haha

So, it delights me when my kids like
something Filipino

and something I grew up eating

It's like a bond

and walking down memory lane

I'm passing on a tradition, trivial as it may be

The rosquillos is now a ubiquitous presence in our home

Oh yea, if you notice, the apple was peeled

I now peel apples, go figure!

And my kids really eat apples everyday

I also grew up with the saying

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away"

Enjoy your snacks!
