    At Mike’s restaurant he’s going to have brochures about VPNs next to the hot oil on the counter when you check out. And there will be his stuffed dumplings and T shirts behind the counter for purchase. Then he’ll open for breakfast and serve cereal.

      Hey Crohn's partner! I totally agree! I only have 1/4 of colon left and any fresh fruits/veggies or fiber kills me! Due to Mike's videos I have expanded my Ramen ingredients but really supposed to eat only protein and carbs! Summer kills me, made a bunch of fresh corn on the cob for my kids and ate a small one, paid the price, but sooo good!

    To be Honest, as i watch you getting all the food ... i just keep telling myself, that is how my Papa cook that Giniling (Ground Pork with Peas) , Bikol Express, Adobo. Caldereta (the tomato base stew), Halang-halang (the Soup with beef and tripe), Paksiw, Kare-Kare, Dinuguan, Calamares, Lechon Kawali and etc. ... It seems like i am in a FIESTA where i am giving myself a hard time what to eat first and what not to, to make myself not to be full in an instant.
