20110131 Autumn in Winter

Mommy and dear son
took advantage of the sun
A meme for shadows


Visit here for more
 Sure it is a lot of fun
Go there to find out

The leaves on the trees
hold on to their source of life
Cannot tell till when


Is it Autumn still?
No it's not, it's winter now
Haste Spring soon arrives


What's this winter like?
Days of Autumn bright and cool
Dark and chilly nights






Please tell me the truth
Haiku my heart can this be?

20110129 A Self Portrait

Car sped down the road
One cold,windy afternoon
Search for that one shot

Pulled the window down
Captured one's own reflection

20110129 Scallion Cake

Scallion Cake

Crispy on both sides

lots and lots of scallion filling

like a rose

The 3-minute wait was well worth it,

 We finished it in the car,
 steaming hot in such a cold afternoon.

The downside,

 I dropped 3 tiny pieces of scallion on my white coat!

20110123 A Treasured Possession

Inside a tunnel

The lights along the passage
Shadows are cast out


Walk, chat, watch your step 
as we head to the one light 
at the other end.

Visit Shadow Shot Sundays
for more shadows.

One precious moment
The sun, a father and son
heed my instruction
my son, he started to say..

Make something one's own
Mother pleads son, please obey
Move to the right, please.


This should be done,quick
No, no, okay, stay right there
Clicked my camera


This is it as is
A sight to behold, I say
Hope you think so too.

20110116 Pumpkin,Chives,CE Fried Rice Noodle

What does one do with the oil from Salmon bake?

Layers and layers of taste

and aroma in this concoction

for the daring foodies,

3 in this family,

who 

finished up 250 grams 

of rice noodle in one sitting.

Prepare the following mixes 

while rice noodle is being soaked in water.

 Pumpkin

In a pan,

Sautee garlic in olive oil,

add thinly sliced pumpkin pieces,

cover and simmer then add water,

cover and simmer till soft.

Add salt, set aside.

 Chives and Century Egg

In another pan, 

Sautee garlic in olive oil,

add chives and one whole century egg,

chopped to pieces, 

cover and simmer,

sprinkle a little water

and mix thoroughly,

set aside.

In another pan,

Place drained rice noodle

into salmon bake oil.

Top it with the pumpkin

and Chives & Century Egg mixture,

Add a little olive oil,

cover and let simmer.

Mix everything evenly in low heat,

adding soy sauce to taste,

ready to serve.

Yaki Soba Sauce 

goes so well with each serving.

Let me know if you agree.

20110107 A Book On How To Read A Book?

A Photo
taken of a poster
at the basement of a bookstore
for my Weekend Reflections entry.
 

The basement
where the poster is on the right side,
where coffee is served for free,
and a long wooden table
to sit and read
as long as
one likes.

I prefer to browse at the books
on the first floor though
and take one home
to own.

The afternoon sun
the sea
the harbor

Not much sun this part of the building

The other side of the city

Deuteronomy 1:28
Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt in fear. They say, ‘The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites there.’
