Shy potato

I present you, the proud mother of lemon bread.

Yung is an improvisor, and she always get very creative, in particularly with her baking.This is her second lemon baby :).

We have been eatings heaps of leh-mon recently due to the high influx of homegrown lehmons from Alice's Dad. I think our household had gotten rid of at least 30 lemons in the past week. I gave 10 away to colleague. Yung used 14 lemon zest for her yumm bread babies while i used up the juices for honey-lemonade. Moreover, I have made two batches of lemonade. Another 7 lemons, without its peel, is waiting on the benchtop to be squeezed dry. I however need a proper jug to contain the lemon juice.

Anyway, Yung's lemon bread babies are utterly soft, fluffy and.. comprises of everything that makes a good bread

Exaggeration NOT, evidently through Bomi's expression here in the picture. That's yung's first lehmon black baby :D.

That's the face of joy, and surprise.

Yung and I are very different. yet similar in many ways...

we are into making different sort of babies.

Mine, of course, have been the vege babies!!!!

It had been two days since I checked on my vege patch, and therefore off i went around 8ish to the side yard to check on the lil vege babies. Little did I know, my cauliflower had popped out from nowhere.... They sneaked up on me! If I had been a little bit slower in discovering the gem in my patch, it would have been overgrown! The curds would have been seperated if I had missed that moment :D. I had an adrenaline rush when I saw this baby maturing in my patch. I reacted by frantically flapping my arms, turned on my heels, and rushed back to the house in order to drag yung to witness the magic moment :D. Yes, My Cauli-flower. The prettiest flower one can ever see. It opened up so unexpectedly, as it was wrapped up by leaves before that.

Was sharing the magic moment with mum online tooo :D

It's humongous!!!

I swear if the plant has legs, it could hunt me down and eat me alive

Having said that, it is so not profitable growing cauliflower and broccolis (for one's own vege patch). Or even cabbages, as they take extremely long to mature. Further, there's often ONLYone head per plant for the above stated vegetable. Well, vegetable patch for me is a learning experience and a hobby. Honestly, I think I started a vege patch nearly 6 months back just because.. my inner asian wanted to come out and play. I wasnt aiming to achieve subsistence farming or whatever in my own backyard.... Anyway, why.. asians..

1. Asians are natural gardeners. It is in our genes. Really?
2. Asians are born competitive, and I am unwilling to lose out to my neighbours and colleague
3. Asians has higher level of melanin, and long hours of sun exposure pose less threat for us to get melanoma.

There are of course multiple reasons as to whyyyy. In short, I was being a bit random, and decided that my current phase of life involves gardening. it is surprisingly therapeutic, albeit it does cost quite a bit of time and money to get everything rolling.

The joy about gardening, you make.. new friends

SLUGS

WTF. DIEEEEEEEEEE. I squash them with my nimble fingers. Bow down slugs, BOWWW I say.

Well, i dont just have vege. The following picture illustrates the livingstone daisy and dahlias I have in my garden. I bought them for $2 a punnet, and they are spreading their influence rather well. They didnt look very sturdy when I first planted them, and now they are dominating the scene. I think daisy are rather invasive, as it grows everywhere and haphazardly. Having said that, they are one sexy plants anyway.

Before I shy away,

I also want to share this sexy potato picture, sourced by Chuai, inspired by our random conversation online. I think the conversation evolved to a potato monster, and how it would munch my friends alive. Yeah, we abuse whatsapp. It is technically free texting if you have data plan. So, WHATTTTT
