20110617 No Clamming Up Cooking Spaghetti Sauce

A presto lunch of pesto,
A homemade sauce
of basil,garlic and tomato.

In want of clam,
can't be dissuaded,
plunged into this procedure
of entrapping liquid into oil.

The basil went a sizzle
more like greeting "Hi!Olive oil".
A blending for consistency.

 Imagine the taste,
Imagine the flavor,
See how they merge,
Sodden,soppy spaghetti no more.

20110513 A Palette For My Palate

A palette for my palate
When hands can't paint
Let photos say;
When words can't tell;
Let pictures speak.
Daunting in articulacy
when it comes to this delicacy.


Let me know
if it is not easy as one-two-three:

Fry dried fish with ginger pieces in olive oil

Cut into small pieces and set aside,

Cook shrimps,

Set aside,

Add a little olive oil, and lots of garlic

 Add squash and beans,

Add the dried fish,

A can of coconut milk,
Simmer,

and the cooked shrimp.

Serve.

Where?

I'm here when I'm not here.

20110316 Of Mushrooms and Bamboo Shoots

What shall I call thee?
You would be gone before I can think of a name.
The next one will not be exactly as you are.
I know, because you came up unexpectedly.

Yummy combination of the following:

Bamboo shoots
Dried Mushroom
Ground Pork
Onion
Scallion

Just simmer, easy to prepare, great with rice.

20110227 Spring Onion Crisp

Ask and it shall be given you.
I mean questions related to the making of this yummy, crispy, Taiwanese delicacy.

20110225 Homemade Anyone?

Nothing as handy as whipping up your own.
My second attempt at giving a home made stuff for a gift.
When bogged with what to give...
I have two more hours, off the to kitchen I go..

20110219 Mosaic

A piece of artwork
Intricate as it can be
Not at all candied
Just chocolate unattended

Take a closer look
What a masterpiece it is
Something so unplanned
Give credit to no man's hand.

I love the fun part of trying things out

20110211 臘肉

My friend Ruth's home-made preserved pork.
Not at all salty as the name Salted Preserved Pork connotes.
Thank you dear friend for sharing 2 pcs of it with us.
Everyone said it is THE BEST!

20110206 Chinese Brush?

It looks like Chinese painting to me.
The thing that is painted on a paper umbrella or a fan.
This was taken on our way home from a late night movie,
a pastime our family enjoys
I am looking forward to the flowers that will be growing on this tree soon.

This is my entry for a meme.

Your eyes would be roaming for more, day and night,
and your camera won't have a day of rest for sure.

P.S. Changed my title to Chinese Brush, since this is not a calligraphy - sorry.

20110206 Guess What this is..

Good if you already know what this is

Care to tell me what it's called?

20110206 Amazing Skill (Candy Making)

I waited to see how this sticky brown thing
would turn into a white candy bar,
as you would see on the lower right part of this photo
Thang (Sugar) Chung ( Scallion)
Maybe because it looks like that of the white part of scallion.

Amazing skill
and this is just the first stop.

20110205 New Year Activity

The best place to be
Not a crowded, perfect place
Can stay here all day.

(I just love the way they're slanted at the bottom)

Paid attention to
Books on living and decor
Browsed through ten or more.

Rows and rows of seats
One can sit and browse for free
Where else should I be?

20110205 Hi! Everyone

Look what caught my sight
Round circles hang in fish strings
There for some reasons.

Grabbed a hold of one
Fit my face exactly right
Hi! to Everyone.
