“ARE YOU GREEN AND GROWING OR RIPE AND ROTTING?” I was reading an old magazine when this phrase hit me big time. But just like interesting phrases – they are always left written on a piece of tissue paper. But this one had its way on my cork board.
For the past months, I have been drinking pure barley (from Sante). Although the smell never attracted my senses at first, but the thought of getting healthy made the smell inviting. I wrote about it in my previous blog but the idea of dipping my hands into “the green lifestyle” started when an office mate gave me a malunggay pasta after his trip from Bicol.

As a certified pasta lover (well, I tried my own versions of pesto) but this malunggay pasta blew me away. I claimed I had the first try of malunggay pesto but when I shared my experience to my peers- the idea never astounded them. “Where have you been?” I quoted one asking me with disbelief. Where am I? Nah – I have been busy eating pancit canton done in less than 5 minutes. I have been addicted with ready-to-cook spaghetti. Grocery stores have been my refuge for the so-called “fast life.”

But anyway, I am hoping an entrepreneur will soon build a PASTA PLACE that only serves vegetables-based pasta. I will not get amazed one day someone will prepare a squash pasta.
