Manuka honey

It’s good for you. My sis said.

Years later I founds this pricy New Zealand honey at Mustafa Centre.

Now it is one of my regular ingredients for breakfast and tea.

The bigger it’s certified number is, the more expensive it is, even the taste is not much difference.

The number is supposed to indicate the anti-bacterial properties which treat eye ear sinus infection, inflammation, high cholesterol, might be prevent cancer.

It works both in hot and cool. I love to have with yogurt or in mint tea.

Yumm… Golden sweetie. Oh! It’ all right. It is medicine, isn’t it?

Enriched taste

‘You should try them. Different aren’t they?’

As I asked the question ‘how can I know the good Goji-berry?’, my Singaporean friend brought me a dried food whole seller.

We stood in front of 3 prices of Goji-berries.

Yes. I agree. The pricy ‘King Goji-berry is sweet and best, no bitter taste followed like cheaper ones.

In the morning, I often cook rice-porridge, adding Goji-berry for slight sweetness and good energy.

Preserved food keeps it’s natural goodness in more condensed way, sometimes more than it’s fresh time.

Not only food, but also people, aren’t we?

「試さなきゃわからないわよ。ほら、違うでしょ？」

どのクコの実いいの？という質問をしたら、シンガポーリアンの友人に乾物卸問屋さんに引っ張って行かれた。ケースの中には３種類のクコの実が入っていて、一番お高いのが、甘くて美味しい。安いのみたいに後口の苦味がない。

朝ごはんのお粥にクコの実を加える。甘さと滋養を加える。乾物には自然の栄養が濃縮されている。新鮮なときよりも良いものもある。

食べ物だけじゃなくて、人もね？

A garden

There is a small space.

 

I play there as playground.

Run. Jump. Turn around.

 

I take care there.

Clean. Cultivate. Watering.

 

I broke high wall.

Plant hedge.

Keep there healthy inside, outside.

Invite my friends sometimes.

Sit alone calmly most of the time.

 

Even hedge enclose the space,

land and sky are part of the Earth.

Wind pass though. Birds fly though.

 

No need to waste time to built anything concrete.

Once I go, the hedge will be vanished, the space will back to anonymous part of the Earth.

No worry. Be peaceful. Gratitude to be a garden right now.
