“remember me to one who lives there”

“are you going to

Scarborough Fair?

parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme

remember me

to one who lives there….”

and guess what the lucky color of the day is?

 the morning show astrologer said, with a caveat that “hindi hawak ng mga bituin ang iyong kapalaran” or, roughly: your fate does not lie in the stars:  the lucky color of the day —   dark green

and…i’m back…got my fix, don’t need to stop  just a little seafood here and there; just different kinds; some cook them right there, and they’d smell nice when you get out of there. and you can freeze some of them later (cooked) so they’d keep fresh; except the lettuce! don’t freeze the fruits and vegetables unless you’re serving….sherbet. The rest, they keep fresh longer if you seal the cooked food (seal them well so they won’t dry up) and freeze them. As long as you eat fresh fruits and vegetables the entire week, you have enough enzymes, the rest of your food, you can freeze for two to three days.

After that, at midweek, the only time you have is for… speed-cooking; throwing pots and pans — use an Olympic-recognized stopwatch; there should be a show on speed-cooking. Inside of ten minutes —  fire on the right and running water on the left, rinsing  and dicing and chopping at the same time…in big pieces. All of your fingers should be covered by an insurance policy, individually.

(most or many restaurants freeze the cooked food; they even freeze the soup; they freeze even the pizzas.)

and that’s easy.

now… i can take my time.

for three days.(“sometimes i run. sometimes i…” )
