Pancit Canton–the instant kind

Last Tuesday, I actually cooked for Ruy! Imagine that? It’s actually quite funny that my specialty turned out to be Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton. How gourmet is that? hehehe. One thing I noticed about this is how different Ruy and I really are. We both like Pancit Canton but he likes the super spicy kind while I want the one with Calamansi. He likes his pancit dry and al dente meanwhile,  I like mine wet and soggy.

It was a very small thing, but for me it shows what the real difficulty in marriage is. It’s not about love, rarely do people marry when they’re not in love. It’s about two different lives trying to compromise and live as one.  That I believe is the greatest adjustment. He stores his clothes differently, they keep their towels differently, the trash, they store their dishes differently. My initial problem before was comparing how his family did things and how mine did them. I realized that the way to go about it is to start from scratch and try to establish what works well with Ruy and myself. This is a bit hard to do as we haven’t moved to the new house yet…
