Dear Bay, thank you so much, let's meet in Dallas one day! :love

It's been a while, and finally, the space of my future small shop is on the renovation schedule. It will offer to-go coffee, tea, sandwich, salad, plants, and cut flowers I grow. Still a long way to go, but I am so expecting now.

Another small milestone, my first homemade tea towel - they will become products in my small shop, too. 55% linen and 45% cotton, 215g / sqm

Bay, thanks for your kind words. Although we never met, you always make me feel so warm. I only have a very small family here, DH and DD, and all other fur and feather kids. My parents are no longer there, so as other relatives. Sometimes, when I feel blue (yes, I did feel so sometimes), I...

One of the advantages of living in a small town instead of a big city is you always visit somewhere without spending money. After a long walk, we enjoyed the homemade food and then kept cleaning the garden.

I have made more steamed dumplings with different ingredients. Either I make them or pay 20 Euro for 24pcs (with additional shipping cost)....way too expensive! At the end, I made about 100 pcs from the ingredients less than 20 Euros. I even have additional ingredients for making pork and...

Thank you :D

I am going to make some popcorn chicken and fried squid for Friday night!

Agree. Answering questions can enhance the quality of what we've learned. Sometimes, it facilitates and inspires brand-new solutions. Maybe it's like what has been said in the Serenity Prayer - the wisdom to know the differences - between questions/answers and problems/solutions. Both sets can...

May I ask what is SO and SHTF? Thank you~

This reminds me of a few sentences I read about one week ago. We have to realize the differences between questions and problems. When we take difficulties as questions, we seek answers; however, many don't have answers, or they should not be taken as questions. Instead, we often encounter...
