sour green mango

I just devoured one dipped in a little salt. Bought at a local Asian market a couple of days ago. Best eaten when it hasn’t ripened yet. I’m still floating in the afterglow of that tart euphoria. One of my uncles had a huge tree of that particular variety growing in front of his house. I remember picking them off the low branches as a boy. This same uncle had a cockatoo who was quite …

last night I was thinking about food…

… perhaps the real question should be… when do I not? It was spurred on by something that Mum said yesterday as I was sharing a meal with her. “You have become quite a good cook.” I beamed because that is indeed high praise coming from one’s mother.

… this morning. Woke up feeling great but after preparing breakfast I felt like that old “Cherrios” commercial… “This boy is running out of steam”. I decided it would be best for me to hit the sack again and allow the magic of sleep heal me. That did the trick. I’m feeling much better now… much, much better in fact. I am constantly amazed how when we listen to our bodies… it works with us …

spicy fried rice topped with an…

… onion omelet. That started off my day today. I haven’t had this for breakfast in a while. Just had a hankering for it so I made it happen within 20 minutes. The coffee is on the brew and that will just cap the whole thing off. Don’t get me wrong… I like the standard breakfast. But for me… this is comfort food. Now, what shall I do for lunch? A post that Kien wrote …
