There’s a local food here known as tocino. It is actually marinated pork that is made sweet. I love it! I can eat a lot of it with rice. My dad and my siblings tease me about it all the time, telling friends that if I can’t think of anything to eat, I would immediately choose tocino. Which is actually true.

But then eating a lot of it, of course, adds unnecessary pounds to my already overweight body. It would take a lot of diet pills for me to shed it off. But I always think that the additional pounds is worth it after every tocino meal. Hahaha
