Eat, Pray and Love

It’s another lovely day as the sun light streams into my room and hearing the natural tranquil symphony of Mother Nature, orchestrated by the beautiful lovely birds chirping outside my window.

The weekend had come and passed in a blink of an eye. However, I was grateful that I had cherished every moment by: “Eating, Praying and Loving”.

“Eating” traditional cuisine such as traditional Mexican food had really open my world of food. I realised that in a Mexican cuisine, the most important dish is not the tacos, neither it is the tortillas nor the burritos, but the salsa or the “cili sos” as Malaysian would like to call it. Freshly prepared salsa is the best "dish" and I was lucky to be able to savour a traditionally prepared Mexican salsa using traditional stone mortar and pestle.

Ingredients for this Mexican salsa is very simple and straightforward which comprise of garlic, onion, olive oil, tomatoes, a pinch of salt and last but not least the "secret ingredient".......

Yes....... this little jumping creature makes the salsa taste HEAVENLY. Plucking up my courage, I popped one of this crunchy "snack" into my mouth and surprisingly, it tasted exactly like dried anchovies or "ikan bilis"!! Yummy......!! I was thinking, maybe I could introduce a new dish in Malaysia. Instead of "nasi goreng with ikan bilis", maybe the menu could read "nasi goreng belalang".

"Loving" every moment that I have and spending it with people that I love is the best activity that I could ever think of. The activity can be as simple as watching a movie, playing tennis, enjoying a meal, having a drink; as long as your loved ones is beside you, it is all that matters.

"Praying" for peace and love is all I could ask for in my life. Life is short. Cherish every second that you are breathing.

Well, folks, enjoy the "spices of life" (even tough the spices consist of grasshoppers, it is still very tasty =P), live well and have a nice week ahead. See you in my next blog.

A New Inspiration in Life

Today (11th April 2012) at 6pm, I was inspired by a best friend of mine to start my own blog.

Our journey on this earth is very unpredictable. There are so many uncertainties in life and the only certainty in life is DEATH.

As such, I had decided to take up this challenge to share my experiences in life. Being very new to this "blogging" activity, I hope my readers would be entertained with the up and downs of my "Spices of Life".
