Then and Now.. My Soul Foods, Not Much Change

A long time ago, whenever I could, I would usually go to the market in the weekend to get some traditional Javanese snack that seemed only available early in the morning. Some days they would be gone before I got the chance to get to the market. So there were many disappointing days when I had to come home empty handed. Once I was in the US, I saw the same thing (I always thought it was corn) in KFC buffet line. I asked them what they called it and they said it is called HOMINY and they come in cans....hahhaha


So here whenever I want Grontol, or so I think they are called, all I have to do is go the grocery store and get a can of yellow hominy and sweetened shredded coconut from the bakery aisle, put them in my favorite bowl and warm them up in microwave...Voila Grontol is here...

Also on Saturday I used to walk to this donut shop in town in the morning. Their donuts are really good and I enjoyed the walk to go buy some..;))) Well, the store owner changed and gone. So I heard that they have one in the neighboring town. Today, another Saturday morning with the forecast that was supposed to rain in the afternoon, we decided to drive and find that store.

Well, after about three gallons gasoline later, we found the store. And they are GOOOODDDDD!


Soul foods make you happy, it doesn't matter that it is now 2009, I still enjoy eating Grontol as much as I did hundreds years ago and I still love my donuts although I have to drive to get them since they are out of town..hiiii hihihi I AM WORTHED!
