I wouldn't eat dog again. Had it a few times in the past; meat is meat, but since I read that you can contract rabies through eating the flesh of a rabid dog, it's no longer on the menu. Next time someone passes me a well-done mongrel steak or offers me Afghan hound adobo I shall politely decline
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Dog meat and all the activities around it is big business in many parts of the Philippines.
There was a TV documentary about it just last week following the discovery that a well known Baguio restaurant had been serving it up in their meat dishes for some years
Shocking stories about the kidnapping and totally inhumane treatment of dogs

When I first went to Pinas I remember seeing skinned dogs and live shackled dogs in Baguio,thats what it was renown for back then,it didnt really shock me.

the dogs i was offered, were taken off the street, and believe me the street dogs here look in a terrible condition, skin desieses ect, no way would that make my mouth water,
also seeing the dog having its fur coat burnt off on the BQ was enough for me

On the evening before our wedding the wife's brothers and other male members of the family held a celebration BBQ with bottles of gin and the proverbial 'dog on a spit'!, I declined and stuck to San Mig and no food....

OH NO , the whitrose weetabix had a nest of small brown beatles living inside the bix, full packet contaminated, i thought the second sealed pack would be ok so split it open ,, low and behold the rest of the colony was in there,
iv eaten from them twice, first time i saw a beatle on my dish, but i thought its not unusual to be fighting for first place before the ants do ect, so i shifted it off my dish continued to eat, the second time i didnt notice any proberbly cause i used hot milk which would have killed then inside the bix biscuit, only to find on my 3rd attempt that it was a living box of bugs

I used to laugh at all the stuff my wife would put inside the fridge when we lived in UK
Such a lot of stuff that really didn't need to be in there.
Must be a cultural thing.
Now that I'm living here I fully understand.
Even I'm the one doing it now. Just about anything and everything will find a place in the safety of our fridge.
The ants and other bugs are just waiting in their multi-billion legions to have a crack at getting into your house and seeking out the gourmet delights on offer.
We've had some ant challenges and so far we've got 'em beat. Constant vigilance is the key.
Don't worry too much about them beetles Stewart, they're a source of protein

the beatles im convinced they came with the package,
anyway yes the wife and the fridge, i often say why you put the sugar in the fridge amongst other things,
the biggest problem i find is when i buy any imported food, when Lita entertains she gives it away , no matter how much i complain,
she just says she likes to share the new tastes with friends

I had a beautiful meal yesterday,english food,went to the Alexander Pope in twickenham for lunch,I dont drink but its an absolute cracking pub,faces the river,sat out the front in the restaurant in an old leather chair that fitted like a glove,the fish and chips was cooked to perfection,and the meat board was a wooden platter with glazed honey ham slices crusty rough-cut bread and different home-made chutneys,the coffee wasnt bad either,all in the presentation but the food in there is well reccomended if your ever passing
