Malungay and CiCi's Pizza


Yesterday was a typical Saturday filled with studying, housework and chores. My beautiful wife is from the Philippines and wanted to buy some malungay leaves for cooking. The leaves are common in the Philippines. Some consider malungay leaves to be a miracle plant when it comes to good health. Usually the leaves are added to soups. We also decided to eat out, and visit a Red Box to rent some movies. We first stopped a recently open Filipino store, they did not have any fresh mulungay leaves just frozen ones, no thanks. We then tried a second store, same deal just frozen ones. My effort to save time was wasted and we drove to the Filipino that we knew usually receives a fresh delivery of vegetables every Saturday, but unfortunately they said they would not have any until Tuesday, so no mulungay for us. On to the next mission, getting dinner.

Recently CiCi's Pizza has open up here in Las Vegas. My son noticed the brand new CiCi's Pizza directly across the street from where we were, and suggested we go there. I have been to a CiCi's Pizza before in Texas, but my wife has never been to one. I knew this would not be the kind of place my wife would enjoy, so I tired to drop hits we go somewhere else. Since our son really wanted to eat there, and it was just across the street my wife said lets so for it, so we did. The place has just recently opened and was crowded, you can imagine what type of crowd would be there for $5.49 all you can eat pizza buffet. Even though it was crowded, we made it through the line quickly and were eating in no time. The food of course was nothing special, and as expected, my wife was disappointed. Our son loved it, so in the future any visits to CiCi's Pizza will be a Father and Son lunch.

The two movies we rented were Eagle Eye and Mama Mia. My son and I really enjoyed Eagle Eye, and my wife really enjoyed Mama Mia.
