vegan eats ;D

im new to this  variety of cabbage, the elongated one. what we usually use for making coleslaw salad is the rounded and lighter green in colour. this is more tiny and and leaves are thicker, making me curious to pick it up and buy it along with this strawberry wine at the wet market in baguio city.

no i didnt make a salad out of it. the leaves are thick and quite hard. this one is simply sauteed in ginger, instead of using oyster sauce i used the strawberry wine ;D

added salt to taste, sprinkle dried chilis, and lemon to garnish. coffee on the side ;D yum!

 i marvel at photos as this when people are not so much affected by their physical background. its like, let alone the 'beautiful' mess ;D

"I'm a domestic diva. Keeping house is probably my number one biggest hobby/passion, to the point where I'm trying to find a way of making an income out of it. I like being at home- baking, housework, decorating... it's all my bag, baby. I don't see any reason what so ever why people can't have a lovely clean and nice looking home no matter how poor they are. I live on the poverty line and I've managed it well."

miss sparrow one of my early favourite and inspiration as i have these what i call "immersions in marginality", has well said what i have planned to do with my life 27 years ago. i have always wanted to stay home and keep house. plan meals, teach kids, and yes--do laundry cheerfully, not the way i so hate it today---for the simple fact--that, other duties and interests and time has taken over, and i just see it now as burden, and waste lots of my time and energy :D. inspite of the fact i finish my b.f.a and many times attempted to finishing my m.f.a, i still wanted, practice and still dream of it---staying at home, keep house--and now im wondering--if i should have taken up b.a in home economics instead, but that has never ever crossed my mind before.

through the years, those bright, idealist plannings turned somehow to a mock that echos everytime i get sooo busy juggling the domestic work and scene, with a full time instructing "noble" day job---which is a must to keep the economy at home and at hoards :D floating, to yes----creating artworks and art forms to hone the craft i keep singing, and hoping and trying to thinking and working further how it can enrich the economy in and out of the house. and that is exactly what stress means, and chasing after  the wind perhaps just so to be with where "i am happiest the most".

a small flicker of that dream stays lighted in the smallest corner of mine heart---when one day i would have to stay home--the whole time, and keep house (and immerse in art activities). i mean my own "house" sweet house puleeeeezzz--hahaha.

even if it looks chaotic, believe me, my home and studio is clean:D,
