How to Make Guacamole: Food Tip of the Day - Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Well, much as it has been fun, affording tips and information upon the food of Scotland, my native land, in the run up to Burns' Night, I am somewhat glad to be able to branch out again and be free to incorporate in this blog whatever I so choose.

It so happened, that for lunch today, I was preparing some guacamole to enjoy with a selection of different biscuits. I thought, therefore, that in today's food tip of the day, I would share with you the way in which I personally make guacamole. I do not overdo it in the number of ingredients added as so many do in modern times but prefer to prepare it in as traditional a sense as possible. That includes using a pestle and mortar as opposed to any form of electronic food processing device!

The link below gives full details and simple instructions upon how to make guacamole:

Australia Day 2010

How's it going down under? Another year passed by and I just want to send this greeting...

Happy Australia Day to all the Aussies around the globe :-)

How time flies and today I am reminded that it's my third year of celebrating this special day. It also serves as a reminder that I shouldn't give up my Australian dream. I wrote last year a lot of things about how I fell in love with this country. It's more than two years ago since I last visited Oz. How I terribly miss being there. I still remember how teary eyed I felt when the plane landed on Brisbane. So much joy when I saw the Sydney landscape while I was still in the plane. Indescribable feeling and unfathomable happiness.

Even though I am 8 hours away from Oz I still do join them in celebrating their big day! And my only way to do that is to do some cooking the Ozzie way. Last year I grilled pork which I marinated with black beer & honey. This year is the repeat of the same porky recipe but this time I marinated it with Coopers stout beer and spices. Aside from that my Fusilli Pesto with Sun dried tomatoes is ready. After office I will quickly run to the French bakeshop called Tours Les Jours to buy a small cake.

London Bridge at The Great Ocean Road, Victoria -Australia

The Roof of Sydney Opera House - Australia

Missing Oz makes me feel pressured about my dream. Oftentimes I wonder if that will turn into a reality. Would I still get a Permanent Residence Visa? I am still praying for that. Sometimes I feel sad because the day something in my life crashed, I thought along with that is my Australian dream. That is what I thought so. But I told myself that as long as I breathe I will continue to dream for myself. As you see in my photos--like the cows they seem to have no direction and they seem to walk infinitely but surprisingly their purpose is to provide us milk everyday. Same as the unique plant I saw in Oz, I was bewildered that it exist and I do believe it has a unique purpose. Also with the little kangaroo that I never thought I will get that close to be able to feed and cuddle it. Maybe fate brought me there. Like the moment I touched the roof of the Sydney Opera House, it was an amazing feeling touching it. To think its not nice when you see it in a closer distance. And lastly the rock formation at The Great Ocean Road which Aussie called "The London Bridge." Its myth is about 2 people who fell in love. I do believe that the order of events in my life has a meaning. Each of us serves a great purpose and along with that lies a great dream.

Getting ready for Aussie Day dinner Saigon style!

tanah

semua org ada warna aura dia sendiri. hari tu. sy scan diri. i mean, oleh seorang profesional.

aura - biru. unsur - tanah.

tanah - Individu yang tergolong dalam kategori ini dikatakan memiliki sifat merendah diri dan tidak cerewet. Sifat merendah diri sememangnya sifat yang dipuji namun sekiranya keterlaluan, pasti sifat ia mampu mengundang impak negatif dalam diri kamu. Mungkin telah tiba masanya untuk kamu merubah sikap sambil lewa kamu itu dan membentuk keperibadian yang lebih tegas dan berpendirian. Namun itu bukan bermaksud kamu perlu melakukan perubahan secara drastik, sebaliknya mulakan setiap perubahan itu dengan perlahan-lahan. Oh ya! Kamu juga digambarkan sebagai individu yang sentiasa bersifat tenang dan bijak mengimbangi emosi. Apa kata, kamu kekalkan kedua-dua keperibadian postif tersebut dan baiki lain-lain kelemahan yang ada. Biasalah, setiap manusia yang lahir di dunia ini memiliki kelemahan dan kelebihan masing-masing.

happy birthday shahli.
