#Bee-Eater Eats Raw ...Of Course..

Hello everyone

For this entry I would add images of the beautiful bee-eater. Birds with turquoise plumage.

I notice that they are very quick in catching the flying insects and gobble it down fast. How very easy for them to have a meal. They seem to enjoy it very much as can be seen by their chattering non stop.

While the bee-eater eats raw we the humans choose to cook. We usually take so much time to prepare our meals....see making curry alone you have so many steps.....

Sometimes we need to short cut the way we cook so that we have more time to pursue other interests ...like watching the bee-eater catching flying insects ...ha ha..

Let me share with you my shortcut prawn curry....

You need two woks one big one small..

The ingredients

By the way to be fast cut the french beans this way

Put in the big wok

Coconut milk + curry paste + french beans + ginger + salt

bring to boil

After boiling for about 6 minutes

add prawns

Boil 4 more minutes

Add cut tomato and boil a wee bit more and let simmer

Taste

Meanwhile fry curry leaves, onion, garlic in the small wok until the aroma fill the whole house

And pour the whole thing oil included into the simmering curry

( be careful)

Cover the wok to trap the aroma.

Serve...

That was fast...

After having an appetizing meal lets watch the bee eaters

Red Eyed #Starling's Clever Diet

Hi

So now here I end up alone in this quiet house in my quest to escape the noise and the dust.

In the beginning I had in mind to do a little exploration around the area, go and see places and parks and the many rimba . Maybe I could meet up with some birds and take their photos .

Since the housing area is just at the fringe of the sophisticated city I also should not miss the opportunity to go and look around and open my eyes to all the modernity. But the weather.....in the end here I am hibernating at my temporary home.

So do something to occupy the time.

Yeah blogging! My new found interest. Day and night I am thinking about the ideas and thoughts to write and mentally selecting pictures to upload. I like it. Hope you too like what I write ....nothing heavy....and the pictures....hope I can help cheer up your dull days.

Well if you are alone you tend to make many trips to the fridge. Its ok if most of the time you go for water in this hot weather...

Don't be like me I almost finished up this 7 inch cake!

Impromptu cake

Since I like baking cakes when I have nothing to do I would think about doing it even though in a situation where the necessities are lacking.

But the oven is there waiting to be used...

Yesterday it happened that I have the basic ingredients plus my favorite flavoring item, lemon. So there was nothing to stop me from baking. Also I was craving for cakes.

This kitchen has only the basic equipment but somehow I got this...  my old baby...

Bought in the late 70s .....

The bowl (additional) look new the original bowl tucked away don't know where is as yellow as the body...

The mixer gave some trouble. The spin was intermittent and the speed erratic and that caused the batter to splash on me on the wall on the floor....

The motor was laboriously noisy.

But no giving up...

Still I can bake a cake and eat it too..ha ha

Hmm while enjoying the cake ...

Think before putting food into your mouth

Fruits are good

Have less calories

Is delicious

And satisfying

Fruits help make your body lean healthy and glossy....

Cheers....
