Respecting the Plants...

I have always love the plants. During my childhood my playground was the bushes under the Rubber trees in the vicinity of the house. The bushes was my dream world and it was there I learn the names of plants and it uses in the traditional Malay society. At that time it was just a fun place to play with relatives and friends, nothing more and yet to understand the real value of the specie Plant. As I grow up and have more knowledge I slowly began to understand the power of the plants and it relationship of the survival of the other species on planet earth. We all need energy to survive on planet earth and that energy come from the Sun. The only specie that could convert the sun's energy into foods is the Plant. Without the plants all other species could not survived on this planet. And of course without the plants there would be no oxygen that is vital to our survival. Our specie now takes all kind of meat other that vegetable to get the sun's energy. By taking meat mean that we get the energy from a second-hand source. Remember the animals first have to eat the plant in order to get the energy from sun. It is ridiculous for our specie to go to the third party to get our energy when we could easily get it from the second party; the plants. We can get all the nutrition we need to live a healthy life if we just consume vegetable. I am trying to do just that slowly, one step a time. Now we consume less meat. We now take mostly white meats and vegetable and hope in due course we could do away with meat all together. So folks do give due respect to the plant that give so much to enable all to live a beautiful life on this planet.
 
Have a nice day.

Aziela, thanks for the visit. I am in the best of health at this age and enjoying the Buka Puasa with the kids and grand kids.

Well Asmah my spouse have given up taking Red Meat a long time ago and it look like she is as healthy as ever. We are both of the same age but to me she is healthier than me. It would be good if we go Vege all the way since it healthier and have no side effect. Remember in those days we only take Red Meat and Chicken at time of festival. Most of our diet are of Fish and vegetables. It does kept our ancestor as healthy.

As for the Blog roll I am having the same problem; I seem not able to add new Blog. I believe there is some glitch in the software of the tool. I have complain to Blogger and hope it would be rectified soon. In the mean time just Bookmarked it for easy reference.

Have a nice day.

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is  one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it  I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already.  I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made th...

My little garden . ..

I love gardening and with the little space that I got in front of my patio I planted many greens including the one that flowers throughout the years.  As they say flowers are the keepers of our Joys.  Indeed they are. I am always happy when looking at these wonderful God's creation. Here are some of the flowers that blooms in my little garden as well those that grows in front of the house. Enjoy it folks much as I had enjoyed growing them.  Have a nice day.
