My mom is a great cook. She seems like a magician. Everything becomes so yummy and tasty after she has touched it! Steamed Chinese eggplants with crushed raw garlic and soy sauce, water spinach soup with a touch of ginger and anchovy, marinated fresh ginger roots with salt and sugar, fermented tofu cube, fresh fish soup cooked with ginger and miso, to name a few. I always feel I come alive after I have a taste of them. How can she give food such energy? Amazing!
She likes to grow vegetables around our house and harvest them when she needs it. There is a heavenly feeling when you eat them. What a pleasure to connect to your food this way! You grow them, you watch them grow, when you harvest them, they return you so much joy! I love so much to watch them grow! You can basically feel their lively life! I always feel that I am in heaven when I look at them!
How lucky I am to have such an amazing mom! She is a life artist! I have been seeing her dancing with life with grace! I love you, mom! Thank you!
