I have been feeling under the weather since yesterday and today I thought I would need to slow down. No wood burning, no smokes from the wood burned stove, no chopping, not trips to the market and no cooking today. I tried but gave up as the body is weak. Still we need to eat and better to just buy something for takeout.

Menudencia Con Casuy

I love cooking whenever I get a chance, especially when I fire up that stove outside. Have been struggling all day at work and wanted to go home but decided to just finish my shift. Anyway I just called my wife to call in an order from one of the oldest restaurant in our small city. I wanted to eat some vegetables and skip the fried chicken that we usually order here. A popular family place to have lunch or dinner and their food is popular during celebrations.

I was getting tired and wanted to rest but I insisted to come with my wife to pick up the food that we ordered. Could not resist taking some shots for today. I know my post would end up badly as I'm pushing it too hard and at the same time feeling unwell.

Still I went out with my wife instead of getting some rest after a long day coming home from work.

Not much people yet this afternoon but as evening approaches seats would be occupied. Well we got what we came for and headed home.

Here we have it the packaging from the New Chefoo Restaurant and as you could see. They have been hanging around since 1945.

You might say, "You are already not feeling well but still you managed to take some photos." True I have been getting a bit hard headed lately and does not know when to stop.

I think I don't have time to get sick and my head tells me I'm ok but my body is calling me to bed.

Let me just talk about this dish that we ordered. Called Menudencia Con Casuy which is pretty much like Chopsuey which is mixed vegetables, stir fried and with a thick sauce.

Just by looking at it the ingredients includes
Chinese white Cabbage
Carrots
Curly Flower
Celery
Lots of Chicken liver
Chicken hearts

What makes it special is the Casuy which is Cashew nuts.
Guess what? There are no cashews to my surprise and last time we ordered there were a lot. These are the days when everything seems to go wrong even the food won't go your way.

I wanted to call the restaurant and complain about it but I was too tired and hungry to complain right now. Might as well just eat it and get some rest already. Which is what I did, ate the food with a cup of rice, drenching my rice with that thick sauce and it was enjoyable despite the missing cashew.

Well that's it for today in spite of feeling under the weather and no cooking today. I'm glad I get a day off tomorrow to get some rest. Hopefully I get back on track and do what I love doing taking photos, cooking and sharing about life.

Have a good evening Steemians.
