Don't tell others you're going for a trip

Recently cherry price reduced, self bought a lot as well as friends gave me. I've been eating quite a lot, 1 lb a day since breakfast to dinner...:)love cherries because of their colors. My friends said many colors can be found in each of my photo. Indeed, everything appears in front of our eyes does have its color.

Yesterday heard an interesting thing, which when you have the plan of which day leaving for a trip, it's better not to show off around on twitter, facebook, and blogs, to avoid your house turns out empty or get something stolen after you come back from holiday.

Seafood rice for Mother's Day

Love Mom! I make seafood rice for Mother's Day :)
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. - By Washington Irving.

Mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of honourable memory!

My dining habit :)

While I am not in a hurry, one of my dining habits is to have all food colors and dishes well arranged. Also the food has to be in various kind and each in small quantities :)
While I am in busy mode, a big dish will be full of convenient food enable to eat around, though my eyes could be focus on the work :)

These are the recent photos that I took regarding what I have eaten.

One of my colleages becomes very talkative duing our lunch, but she swallows very fast. Often during her narration of the story, she finishes her food already and continues talking, while I am only half way of my lunch. Without knowing if I paid attention listening to her, or she really eats speedy :)

KFC used to be my most favorite food when I watch TV. Afraid of being chubby, currently I firmly say no to such relaxation.
Only cracker is allowed during TV time. Fortunately I only watch 1 hour TV a day and not everyday :)

Tomatoes

I'm not a good cook, but I love to cook food related with tomatoes. I like tomatoes because my grandfater, my grandfather ate tomatoes everyday. All relatives and friends said grandfather's skin was tight and bright, without wrinkles, at that moment grandfater was already nearly 70 years old. Remember in that time had grown some tomatoes in yard. Grandfather would use tree branches to support and grandma made different tomato combinations with other food. Now, when see tomatoes will think of grandfather and buy some tomatoes back home.

Greek & Turkish vine leave rice........

The first time I had vine leave rice was at Dhahran.
Afterwards also had from Greece and Turkey. Turkish Dolma also wraps raisins.
Greek one also tastes great. Some people dislike for tasting sour which Turkish one had lemon juice included. At first I thought the original leaves taste sour.
I love Greek spicy red pepper sauce very much, which is not spicy at all while having nice smell. Mediterranean Sawima tastes delicious as well.
When I was in Dhahran, friends invited me going to Istanbul together, didn't make by that time but I still want to go, not only for its food but also for its architecture and culture.

What are you waiting for on Valentine's Day?

What are you waiting for on Valentine's Day?

I'm waiting for Jennifer Aniston ~ ~ ~'s movie "He's Just Not That Into You" :)

I have watched several movies acted by Jennifer Aniston and I like her natural performance.

Have been eating simpler and simpler. I used to enjoy eating sumptuous dishes. Now prefer the dishes with nice harmony colors while not too many food together.

I like the match of mozzarella, beet root with broccoli, and pumpkin soup, thinking it is interesting to have such color match while is eating :)

Without knowing if it's the visual change or for keeping diet, without doubt it could be both :)

Am I really that like to eat?

This morning I was delighted to wake up and went out, after delicious breakfast and went back home, am I really that like to eat.....I had yoghurt and banana, wondering if the weather is bit cold or the yoghurt was icy and sour, now I feel stomach upset.

I may had too much for breakfast, but I was alright while I had went shopping in ZARA :) Hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow!

Yellow bell peppers & deco

Friends said my photos are full of colors :-)

I don't know if my photos are more colorful; anyhow, I like colorful things since my childhood. Having a small piece of flowery table cloth, a yellow wall, matches with an elegant flowery curtain would make me happier.

Light pinky purple and rosy purple bedsheets used to be the color that made me feeling comfortable. In addition, I used to buy yellow knife, fork and all sets of yellow kitchenware in order to match with my kitchen.

Recently I fell in love with yellow and red bell peppers. Not only beautiful but also delicious. It's simple and easy to cook the bell peppers by putting into boiling water and thus they could be either salad or salad decorations.

Do I really like colorful things? Yes, I do. :-)

Gaining, also Losing.

Two years ago, was fanatically surfing on Internet. Besides from online news, fashion, everything can be found from Internet like apparels, food, living and transportation were all likely be viewed. Sometimes even lunch and dinner were dined in front of PC monitors.

Even takes a little time for internet before boarding in airport.

One day, while was chatting with a young chest physicians, saw his cellphone is a very old model, he could only use the most basic computer application. He said he doesn't have much time to use Internet.

From his confident brainy conversation, as well as from his healthy complexion, suddenly realize myself spending in front of PC everyday, skin color gets dark, neck and hand waist are suffering from pain...this physician smiled and said, nowadays people become more civilized after having computers, on the other hand there are more civilized diseases.

It is true. Counting the time spent on Internet, my life is loaded with more and more extraneous time :-)

Intenet is lovely, but there is also gaining and losing.

Heartful for romantic

Thyme is my favorite food plant which has the aromatic smell that I like.
Wrap around the thyme pot by a piece of fabric that has small pink flowers on, this Valentine's gift forthwith turns to be more dainty.

Leave it by the window balcony, sunset light, again the life fills in different color.

This year Valentine's Day has away, wondering Valentine's day has actualized how many couples.This thyme pot and vegetables accompany me and home.

Beautiful apples facilitate thyme to be more brisk.

Sometimes, it's not compulsory to buy romantics deliberately.

Just add some imaginations into life, there will be some little amazement and hilarity happened to be found in many little things.

Cut a beautiful pumpkin into a heart shape.

Make heart-shaped cookies, put small hearts together for myself. Love ourselves as well as cherish ourselves, give ourselves a little exhilaration.

Let our heart fills by colors evermore, with cheerfulness and ardency.

Home-made food V.S. Inflation

Everyday, financial news is all about economy faces downward slide, from the still-slumping mortgage in the U.S. to the escalating consumer price in Asia, money seems continued to shrink. Price for food also increased.
To comfort myself, it is a lucky thing to have work, should fill out myself more meaningful. For to walk further, home-made food is more healthy and save money, should reduce the chance to dine out, instead, cook more often at home, good health is the most important. For to have good health, everyday must eat several colorful food.

Here, mix green pepper, yellow pepper, red pepper, orange pepper, tomatoes, corns, zucchini, broccolis, red carrots, onions as soup.

With salad, I add in some almonds, raisins, and Turkish dried figs, which have a lot of crunchy seeds, they are delicious, nutritious, I like dried figs very much and figs contents amino acids, vitamins, offer amounts of calcium.

Hope colorful vegetables can be like a colorful life, bring in brilliance and wellness, and share these with the bloggers that have visited my webpages.
