Food: Thai papaya salad

2012-02-03T09:13:00.000-08:00

Have no idea, I am so into Thai food these days...especially Thai green papaya salad. I wanted to make Thai papaya salad for a long time...

My craving won...I got to have Thai papaya salad...after doing some recipes - searching, I was surprised to know how easy this dish is...

Thai papaya salad (Vegan)

Green papaya (try to find the harder one, I found green papaya,

and Thai red/green chili peppers in Asian supermarket)

carrot

garlic

Thai spicy red/green chili peppers

cherry tomatoes

Juice from one lime

green beans

peanuts

Juice from 1/2 lemon

"fish sauce" (I use Bragg fluid aminos, onion powder,

Bragg organic sea kelp delight seasoning, and a little brown sugar)

Smash garlic and Thai red/green pepper

add and smash peanuts, green beans, cherry tomatoes, "fish sauce"...

stir in shredded green papaya, and carrot...mix well.

Set aside and let it cool for 2-3 hours...

yum....oxoxxoxoxooxo

Food: Fruit jam cookies

2012-02-02T07:28:00.001-08:00

I am not a big fan of cookies any more...used to be though...

I bet, it is tasty...load with lots sugar, and butter - which I don't use in cooking. Don't know why, after adopting the plant based diet, I am no longer craving for sweet...

and I want Mika to avoid sweet...or at least when he is this young...sorry, my dear, no this kinda sweet for you...but, mama will make you banana chocolate ice cream (post coming soon)

xoxoxoxoxo

Food: Baked black bean veggie burger

2012-01-31T21:55:00.000-08:00

Once in a while, I want a burger...

add shred carrots, oatmeal/brown rice flour, almond milk. Mix all together.

Stir in ketchup (I love Annie's Naturals Organic Ketchup), mustard sauce (Westbrae Natural Stoneground mustard), garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and chili powder if spicy is preferred. Mix well.

Add brown rice cake (break into small pieces), and dried apricot (cut into small pieces)...again, stir very well...

Baby: Playdate...

2011-10-08T10:39:00.000-07:00

It is so cool...but also so funny to see Ethan and Mika play in the room together...

...at this age (they are 1 week apart, around 14, 15 months old now), they don't really play with each other...but, play NEXT to each other...

I think their own world is all about ME, ME, and ME...self centered. They don't really interact with each other...but, LOVE to be together...LOVE to play the same toy, even fight for the same toy...

It is so interesting to see how our little ones grow...each stage is so different, and so charming...to watch...

We can't wait to see Ethan again...

We have a huge, beautiful fig tree...and most important...it is 100% organic!!!

Summer time around mid, late August, figs are so ready...and so we are...ready to make fig jam, and dried figs...

We didn't trim our fig tree last fall after the last leaf fell out...therefore, our fig tree doesn't have lots figs this year...and figs are much smaller...lesson learned...

Baby: Ethan...

2011-10-06T10:36:00.000-07:00

As you could see...I am trying to catch up my sky-high, endless projects these days...This set of pictures, I even don't remember when I took these...and finally...here they are...

Ethan is Mika's another friend...met at NICU...friend from they were born..how cool, right ;)

We are so lucky to get to know Ethan...I chat with Ethan's mom, Wei, quite often...it is so wonderful to share and exchange parenting tips, ideas, and everything up and down in between...

...when I took these pictures, I was amazed by how many facial expression Ethan had...so playful...

For technical part, all these were shot on Contax 645...and expired film if I remember right...

I don't like too much post production...but, it was so washed out that I end up doing some post production work...quick fix, using Photoshop, I pump the level ;)

2011-08-06T02:16:00.000-07:00

Happy weekend...

I love to bake/cook using vegan recipes...just because, I am curious, I always wondering how it will come out...nasty??? tasty???...sometimes I like them, sometimes, I don't...but, I just love to try...

...it is kinda "happy therapy" to me...after a long day...

I baked banana oat bar the other day, and I love the taste, and can't get enough...to me, it is yummy, and super tasty...I know, nasty to others...just not for everyone... just like coffee to me is nasty...

To make everyone happy, or to make myself happy...Do I really need to bake using "normal" ingredient...and what does "normal" mean to you, or to me...Are we "normal" American...

I tried to be sensitive what I have said to others...especially after a long, tired day...words could kill a lovely, warm, and fragile heart...

...I am tired, and fragile as well...

Maybe I will stop baking vegan goodies for a while...or forever...

...thought of trying to make everyone happy is depression...

Homemade bread...yummmy ;)

I love bakery...and am crazy about baking these days...

...bread, cookie, muffins, pie, chocolate balls, nuts 'n fruit bar, etc.

It might be cheaper buying at the local bakery/shop...but, they are so sweet in general...

so much butter, cream, sugar, and all kind of unknown ingredients they put in...

I like to know what I am eating, putting in my mouth...and have some healthy snacks for Mika (of course, when he is older)...

It is healthier than getting at store...I am learning to bake.

I love fatfreevegan's recipes...they are healthy, and easy to make...

...and they are tasty.....Susan is amazing, I have no idea how she comes out with these great recipes...

I can't really understand the loneliness of being a single child...

It is just so wonderful to have someone with you, bonding together with the blood-tight relationship ...there is someone to share your up and down all through your childhood, trouble teen period, and cruel adult world...

If Lars and I are lucky, we want more than one child...

...and the Universe will let us know...

This is Kaija's greenhouse...with lots fruit, and vegetables growing.

Last summer, Lars and I bought 3 tomato plants, but, no luck, they were all dried out....who say growing tomatoes is easy...

Happy new year...this is our holiday card this year called "Marimekko" - Kuusisaari, Finland...

Picture was taking during our summer vacation in Finalnd...

Like self-portrait, the challenge is setting camera, composing right ( here I am using an Xpan), and setting on self-timmer...quickly, running to the right position, and holding the Marimekko painting...

Lars and I taking our holiday card very seriously...holiday card is special for us...we don't like pre-made templates that you could get at most store...holiday card supposed to be personal...we still do the old style - hand write each card to our friends, and families...with lots love ;)

This is our 2008 holiday card...here :)

Bye, Bye, 2009, Hello, 2010...

2009-12-31T05:06:00.000-08:00

I can't believe time goes this fast...last day of 2009. This year has been fantastic...

Picture here is taking a bus with Lars from Helsinki airport to train station...life is like taking a bus somehow, isn't it...searching our soul, chasing our dream, just like we go from destination to destination...and we stop sometimes, catch another bus for another calling...

Thank you so much for this awesome, beautiful, and wonderful 2009...hello, 2010...

Coming up...images from 28 rolls of film I picked up from Richard Photo Lab...yes, 28 rolls of films...believe it or not, it is just like a christmas time again...I forget what I have on these rolls...
