A top seller. With very good reason.

Smooth tasting rooibos combined with the taste of melting chocolate truffles.

Available online, and Sarah will have a delicious supply in one of her many Golden Jars of rare and secret delights.

Weekend!😀😀😀
Lovely to add a fried egg to the stir fried beef and vegetables.
FYI : The knot is made from tofu sheets. You buy them dry and soak to soften prior to cooking.
Love and gratitude
😋😋😋

Thai Butterfly Pea Flowers.

Famous for their very bright coloured liquor and colour-changing properties.  When infused using just a couple of flowers per cup of tea, the infusion is a very bright blue, if lemon or lime is added the colour changes to a lovely shade of violet. 

Very popular for iced teas, for obvious reasons: a visual feast ❤️

Pan fried salmon with squid, king prawn fried rice and sprouted alfalfa, lentils and chickpeas; with mushrooms and coriander soup.

Fish for lunch and its not even Friday!
😋😋😋😋😋

Is cooking & eating seafood at home expensive?

1. Salmon from Lidls' simply range works out about £3 for two people. Simply pan fry.
2. Squid & king prawns I get in bulk frozen from Chinese supermarket in Norwich. Probably works out a third cheaper than from local supermarket .
3. How to make your soup taste yummy? Fish or meat in your soup will give it flavour. Just add, salt, pepper, sesame oil to enhance it. Spring onions, fresh parsley or coriander will give you options. Sweetness to the soup is from carrots and onions. What if you don't have fish or meat in your soup? Soak dried sh*take mushroom, use the soaking water as your stock and add a vegetable stock cube.

Enjoy
Love and gratitude

Breaded white fish with sweet and sour sauce.
Delicious! But is it harmful to your health?🤔🤔🤔🤔

The sweet and sour sauce is made in the authentic Chinese way using tomato catchup, Worcester sauce, garlic, tomato puree garlic, cucumber, re pepper,pineapple, spring onions, black and white pepper, lemon juice, sugar, salt and sesame oil.
We probably use it once or twice s month. Another family favourite is sweet and sour deep fried tofu for the vegetarians in our family.

Unfortunately for most people, they will be eating it in the form of a takeaway or a microwave dish ( definitely not cooked with love). If takeaways/processed refined foods, along with a sedentary lifestyle ( let's face it, most people with the above lifestyle would not be exercisng) is what you do, then it probably will not be good for your health. Leading to obesity, diabetes, cardiac health problems, arthritic problems and even depression.

Moderation along with a healthy lifestyle is the key.
Unfortunately, most people who talk about moderation never actually practice it.
