Rice floor

Disaster strikes. The box of rice tipped over my entire kitchen and we had an early ricey snow indoors. Managed to salvage some of the rice and had to throw some away. Disturbing thoughts of people dying with the lack of food enter my mind. Wasting food is one of the greatest crimes one can commit. Think of all the energy that has gone into the growing and tending and transporting etc. Think of the man hours spent on it. etc. etc.

Then I remember, this rice will become manure someday and come back as more food. What a blessing nature is.
It was a handful folks and please let me not have ghosts haunting me about this for the rest of my life.

Today : tomato rice with cucumber salad. I don't feel like relating my recipe today. It feels too tiresome.

I remembered sadly the number of times I sent back salads in restaurants back at my last place of living because they looked old and unclean. That is one of the advantages of cooking for yourself: you know exactly what indignities your food has suffered.

    They look all so yummy.. (Look) wonder how they taste :P

    And your cutting board is really cute.
    Like the red tomato stoically standing next to the red
    cutting board waiting to be murdered :D Maybe the knife is missing in the perfect picture.. or maybe its u adding a hitchcock thriller :D

    And the onions matching the border of the cutting board.
    And the plate with red designs as a follow up.
