of dreams, donuts, and cherry blossoms


For my Zoe who just turned 13. always, my song for you. 

................................

🎵 Dream a little dream of me 🌸

Stars shining bright above youNight breezes seem to whisper "I love you"Birds singing in the sycamore treeDream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss meJust hold me tight and tell me you'll miss meWhile I'm alone and blue as can beDream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dearStill craving your kissI'm longing to linger till dawn, dearJust saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find youSweet dreams that leave all worries behind youBut in your dreams whatever they beDream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dearStill craving your kissI'm longing to linger till dawn, dearJust saying thisSweet dreams till sunbeams find youSweet dreams that leave all worries behind youBut in your dreams whatever they beDream a little dream of me.






For Daddy God has a dream, and His dream is you, Zoe.

Zoe, Daddy God's promise for you:
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 
18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  Eph 3:17-19

Creamy Miso 🥣

I hated miso soup. And then I loved it ever since. This comfort soup may have a slight tangy taste depending on what type of miso is used. My hubby does not like a hint of sour/tangy stuff. To discover that milk could be added to spin off the taste was a welcome revelation!!! The aroma and taste always takes me back to my days in Japan. My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture. It was my 1st time away from my motherland, and 1st time to experience winter, at that. To say that I was in a state of culture shock is an understatement. I loved soft fluffy Japanese rice. The roasted flaky saba fish. Ramen noodles. Crunchy karaage. Not miso soup though. I hated miso soup. But that fateful cold night, I have just reached "home" from the 10-minutes trudge from work. A quick change to warmer clothes, I was immediately at the dinner table. The warm soup felt grudgingly comforting. The next spoonf...

perfect fried rice

Batch 1: cook meat sliced to thin cubes (4 pcs pork shoulder or chicken gillet) Batch 2: 1 carrots minced 5 garlic minced 1 onion diced Batch 3: 3 eggs beaten cooked meat in bite-size Batch 4: 7 cups old rice - chilled and clumps separated 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp fish sauce 1 tsp mirin 1 tsp sesame oil Add seasoning, to taste: Pepper red chili flakes - optional Add Toppings: 1 green onion, thinly slice You can also add: roasted nuts, sliced pineapples Instructions: In a wok, put 2 tbsp oil then cook and set aside each batch (batch 1 to batch 4) Tips: Use the WOK. Use high heat.  🔥 The thinner the meat slice, the quicker & better cooked it will be. Do not put so much rice at 1 go.  This keeps the wok really hot. Do not put so much sauce or rice will get sticky; you can always add more at the end to taste.
