We finally met up with our endocrinologist who interpreted the results of our blood chem. Rolly Fernandez received summa cum laude honors for managing his blood sugar well unlike me who was just given a passing grade. The doctor remarked, " It's obvious that you eat the same food. Both your uric acid is elevated."
We blamed it on the rich fabada we dined on the night before. But the doctor said it wasn't beans that were rich in purine. It was the assorted meats--ham, sausages, bacon--that went into the Spanish style pork and beans.
To pat ourselves on the back for our good results, we decided to try the unlimited merienda offered by Mario's on Upper Session Road.
We started with Misua with Meatballs and Spinach and made our way around the plate for the Tinapa and Togue Rolls, Puto and Dinuguan, Sotanghon Guisado, Cheese Pimiento Sandwich, Banana Cue and Buko Pandan Salad. We cleaned up our plates and readied ourselves for a second serving of the same without the sandwich which we found too sweet.
The merienda costs P299 a person without our senior discount. A good deal!
