Ingredients♥ Konnyaku jelly powder/dried osmanthus flowers/Nata de coco
(didn't get wolfberries in time; otherwise 2 tsp wolfberries soaked in water until puffy; drained)
Made this specially for Stephanie. She has been craving for this dessert for the longest time. *guilty* Nevertheless, so glad I made this just in time, before she went for her maternity leaves. Safe delivery Steph and looking forward to a healthy baby!(:
Side track a bit. Recently, a friend gave me a pot of Mozzie Buster. There's a piece of cultivation instruction/paper in the pot and it goes like this:-
-All the seeds provided by us are directly from their original places. They are precious.
-And all things with life are precious
-A sprouting plant is as delicate as a new born baby. If you decide to cultivate the plant, please take good care of it with your love
Oh woah. Well-said.This somehow reminded me of a note from J. Krishnamurti.
( J. Krishnamurti is regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time. He did not expound any philosophy or religion, but rather talked of the things that concern all of us in our everyday lives, of the problems of living in modern society with its violence and corruption. He explained with great precision the subtle workings of the human mind... )
" We never seem to have a feeling for all living things on the earth
It is odd that we have so little relationship with nature, with the insects and the leaping frog and the owl that hoots among the hills calling for its mate. We never seem to have a feeling for all living things on the earth. If we could establish a deep abiding relationship with nature we would never kill an animal for our appetite, we would never harm, vivisect, a monkey, a dog, a guinea pig for our benefit. We would find other ways to heal our wounds, heal our bodies. But the healing of the mind is something totally different. That healing gradually takes place if you are with nature, with that orange on the tree, and the blade of grass that pushes through the cement, and the hills covered, hidden, by the clouds. This is not sentiment or romantic imagination but a reality of a relationship with everything that lives and moves on the earth. Man has killed millions of whales and is still killing them. All that we derive from their slaughter can be had through other means. But apparently man loves to kill things, the fleeting deer, the marvelous gazelle and the great elephant. We love to kill each other. This killing of other human beings has never stopped throughout the history of man's life on this earth. If we could, and we must, establish a deep long abiding relationship with nature, with the actual trees, the bushes, the flowers, the grass and the fast moving clouds, then we would never slaughter another human being for any reason whatsoever.Organized murder is war, and though we demonstrate against a particular war, the nuclear, or any other kind of war, we have never demonstrated against war. We have never said that to kill another human being is the greatest sin on earth.
Krishnamurti on 25th February, 1983 "
(Good read :)
Alrighty, back to my Mozzie mozzie. Have googled further on how to take care of it. I need green fingers. Hopefully, it does blooms into flowers. :D
Jal-ja.
