We arrived home late and I stayed additional hours on the computer. Then I felt some stomach discomfort, I was hungry. Since there’s no one left at home, there was no cooked food.

And since it was a round-robin shots, I had ample time to feel how my stomach would react. But I only had the normal system reaction – burping. Then I had some more shots and I feel no stomach pain, no adverse reaction.
Yesterday, I ate another favorite food – dinuguan. Its been a while after my Lap Chole (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy) operation last October 1, 2009. For more than 6 months, I wasn’t able to eat and taste the dinuguan.
Dinuguan (blood stew) is a Filipino dish that is composed of pig’s inner parts like stomach, intestines, liver, ears, and snout – mixed with its main ingredient – the pig’s blood. It is usually cooked with vinegar, fish sauce or soy sauce, garlic, and chili to make it spicy.
