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.


Credits to our beloved Rock Kidz Teacher Ellie for the beautifully written nuggets i've peppered this post with, her heart-notes from a sharing by our youth pastor, Pastor Daniel.

 

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...

a feast for the eyes

Are you both a foodie and a movie buff? If so, then surely you love watching on the big screen movies that largely incorporate scrumptious food! For being such deliciously charming movies, what are your favorites? Top in my list are these two:   1.  Ratatouille (2007)  Set in France, this is the story of an unlikely friendship of a one-of-a-kind rat, Remy, and a hard up, clumsy but kind young man, Linguini; where one has an unusually refined taste for a rodent, and the other an unbeknownst inheritance. Their circumstances take them to a partnership they never imagined to reach for their dreams! This being a family movie that entertains the young and young once is a huge plus! 2.  Chef (2014)  This is a heartfelt and funny story of a 50-something chef in California. He is divorced and had no time for his young son. His career once started promisingly; foodies were on the lookout for his gastronomic creations. But pressure from the restaurant's pr...

Hummus try this!

Hummus is long overdue; this was my hubby's request for the longest time already. The classic take is always using chickpeas. M y easy excuse was that chickpeas here in our region is not as cheap; no main ingredient, no hummus! 😝 But ever so thankful for foodies around the world who share their recipes online... was I happy t o find that there are versions using eggplants, squash, and cauliflower!!! Definitely cheaper alternative to the peas. F or sure there are quite a few more options out there. But Google already had me at eggplants . Our eggplant hu mmus turned out delicious. Hummus really try this!  Sorry, but pun intended 😁.  This hummus is apparently called Baba Ganoush, originating from the Arab region.  (F ile exotic name in a shelf along long-term memory aisle. Check!  Ohhh lots of yummy dishes in those places. But that's for another day in the kitchen. For now...)   Let me it note down for future Arabian-esque dinner nights at home. Baba G...
