Thai Sticky Rice

I felt a sudden urge to make thai sticky rice so I decided to get the ingredients and try making it.
It turned out pretty good, for my first try.
Now, I need to get some mangos and coconut ice-cream and set it up as I get it from a restaurant. Muhahaha.

Next task, is the black sticky rice. Its not the same thing, except different color. Mango sticky rice is thick and not running, while black is sorta soupy.
I can't wait... Yes.. I know, my fatness is only going to increase, but oh, so yummy.

Everything in moderation

You don't exercise and its bad for your health, you exercise too much and your body starts breaking.
You don't eat enough of something and you get sick from deficiency, you over-eat it and you have poisoning.
Its a balance and there's a tipping point, well, actually more like there is a "good" range. Hm.... reminds me of the book Tipping Point and no, Tipping point doesn't really have to do with this.

Anyways, my friend just went through a surgery. Hope he gets well soon. It sucks to be handicapped, even for a while.

Pretty Tulips

We braved the rain and wind to go to the Tulip Festival. We marched across muddy waters in the blistering cold, but it was all worth it.
Take a look at some of the pictures a friend took. My fav is the single broken pink tulip in the mud. Very artistic and very inspiring.

I bought a bunch of flowers. Well, I originally wanted to Mother Teresa tulips, but they sold out on those really early, so I went with my second choice, Golden Apeldoorn. Here you can see the different tulips. Hm.. the pictures on this one does not do justice to Mother Teresa tulips. Its more white with a tinge of yellow instead of yellow with white as in this phamplet. :)
My tulips are in full bloom now. I should add more ice in the water, or maybe put them into my fridge, so they will stay in bloom a tad bit longer.
A friend bought the Catherine's Radiance. I wonder how her tulips are now.

Oh, I saw assorted pastel colored tulips in a vase in Whole Foods. They were absolutely beautiful.
