a new favorite

Meet my new love, Mr. Chinese broccoli. It's sweeter than your regular broccoli, more leafy, and has smaller florets. It's usually served steamed or stir-fried in oyster sauce. I've read that It can be used in raw salad but I haven't tried it. I love mine sauteed in toasted sesame oil with lots of green onions, shiitake mushroom, and shrimp. I don't think it's available at local grocery stores. You might have to find an Asian supermarket to buy some. If you ever come across any, I recommend that you try some.

cactus blooms

I've always thought that cactus were the ugliest plants I have ever seen. They are spiny, leafless, alien looking like plants. Some of them even look like brains and tentacles with spikes. What's to love about that?

Then, I saw them bloom. They can produce the tiniest, most vibrant flowers. Also, they require very little care once planted. What's NOT to love about that?
