I again dropped by the Liwasan after the 6:30 am mass today. The vendors are still there but buyers were few. Maybe it’s because it’s still early.
I finally bought a jar of this brown rice brew. It really tastes so good. It has fiber content, low calories and non-fattening too. Besides, it has no caffeine. I am reminded of those days more than half a century ago when we were growing up in the province with my grandmother. Instant coffee was unheard of in the vicinity so what she usually do around that time is to roast rice until it turns brown then she adds water and boil it. You can keep the roasted brown rice for a week in a jar. It is a poor man’s coffee. I seldom drink coffee nowadays so I thought of this . It’s just a 165 gram small bottle.
I’ve been reading a lot lately. I found another book by Markus Zusak, He is the author of that much-acclaimed book entitled The Book Thief. Looking forward to reading Bridge of Clay. I recently finished The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly. It’s a thriller and it was hard to put down. Presently, I am in the middle of reading The Moonspinners by Mary Stewart, a first by this author. There is a movie adaptation I’ve seen on YouTube but I want to finish the book first before watching it.
Have a nice start of the month. It is almost summer here.
I will have to take your word for that brown rice brew, Arlene. I honestly don’t like the sound of it at all. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

My grandparents drank a similar grain based coffee alternative called Postum. I loved the idea of your beverage.
