diced garlic *- minced ginger *- small dash fish sauce* – mushroom bouillon powder *(Lee Kum Kee)

green onions (garnish) I had left over pieces of dry garlic beef kidney enough to add flavouring (handful)

gai toy (mustard green) – half a coup of sliced Brussel sprout.about 1/4 cup of st

about 1/5 cup of sticky rice left over from a dish I got with Chinese Sausage and BBQ Pork, (already cooked)

pinch of white pepper for added taste – I put in the remaining liquid (dry garlic) from the beef kidney cuz I don’t like to waste.

et viola, my supper last night. * note seasoning is to taste If I had, had kernel corn I would have added it for added flavour/colour


BE creative in your effort

If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There s sure to be something you can improve on.

My cooking is all … in the moment, it depends on what is in my fridge/cupboards at the time. And I don’t measure. That comes with years of cooking this way.. and I mean yearS plural. AND I don’t add sugar, and seldom salt.,, I don’t even keep sugar in my house.

musing

When we experience loss – we learn to survive

the sun keeps shining, night follows day

We wake one morning and realize, we’ve outgrown who we used to be.

We choose silence from noise – somewhere in between nothing makes sense – but we are learning

We are no longer who we were – our season is changing

In the solitude of our silence – something new is born.

Love from a place of depth

Life unfolds in its own rhythm

Letting go, means we care enough, trust and have faith in being true to Self. There is great strength in Quiet.

Sunday

Did you know that PL has a unique way of offering personal guidance? Happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals, and then working towards achieving them in your daily life. Thru consultations given by PL ministers you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation.

To complain is a waste of your energy.

Whining and complaining will not change anything, Look for the shortcomings in your own thoughts or methods and tackle your problems creatively.

Live life with a smile!

Dentelle

Meet Dentelle, first three pictures from left to right, the end picture is BeeJu, both of these gals are being groomed for a project I’m wanting to expand on. Dentelle was brave enough to try the new Cardboard Avatar that started as an April Fool’s idea for a Designer in SL (Salt & Pepper).. who was joined by other designers, and we now have a growing number of “people” in SL who have adapted the idea.. It has taken on a life of its own.

There is now a group for all of us who have fallen in love with this idea, and these are some of the items in the hunt that popped up. I have the LM for you here if you are in SL http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Astralia%20DEAD%20DOLL/161/118/1177

I use the avatars in my projects for the church as well as my other blogs. The girls are great to work with, always on time, and open to most of my ideas. Salary wise, it’s a breeze, they like being kept in smart clothes (to their taste of course) latest hairstyles and a place to hang.

Someone asked me the other day how old I was.. I was at the cash having a friendly chat about the mushrooms I had bought… on sale the huge big cafe mushrooms… I told the gal I ate them like a radish or orange, just straight out of the package.. no .. no condiments, no sauce, and yes raw.. That had the whole line at this cash smiling and wondering why raw.. I jokingly said, that is what keeps me young.. (of course I’m not “young”)

Then began the… “Oh” “ahs” they were all guessing of course at my age, since looking at me in my “outdoor” gear as my friends laughingly call my “out door” clothes. can really only leave people “wondering”… I avoided the how old are you question, with “in life, my goal is to be happy, and live each day doing my best to keep myself positive and spending time smiling and sharing “happy”.

Today’s PL quote – If you are going to do it, do it joyfully

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

PL2014.23

I was told a lot of people went back and bought cafe mushrooms.

Thursday

The snow is melting, yesterday I took the shovel to the big dump of snow on my deck it had been almost shoulder high, … the milder temperatures had me facing a pile of snow only about knee deep. I did clear some, I was (smart) enough to stop when I got tired. If it is mild again today and there is a bit of rain, it should rid me of what is left on the deck. I can put out my lay back and sun chair. Early spring is the best… too cool for most to be out, but I love it, especially when the sun is out. Yesterday my companion was the male cardinal, he was singing away… he is a romantic, he courts his female.=^_^=

Live today filled with enthusiasm

Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

PL2015.20

Happy first day of Spring.
