Outdoor Furniture

We found this lovely 3 piece outdoor furniture set for our balcony during our weekend visit at the garden furniture shop.

I can't wait for the weather to get a bit warmer so that we can sit, relax and enjoy the view outside.

Growing your Own Herbs and Vegetables

I have just planted Oregano, Parsley, Basil, Rosemary, Thyme and Corriander in a planter box. The other vegetables planted are spring onions and red chilli. Watching the growing process of the vegetables and herbs can be quite a satisfactory feeling. As we are living in an apartment, I just have to make do of growing everything in a pot.

Red Bean Soup

Last night I felt like having something sweet and warm. So I made red bean or Azuki bean soup which is a popular sweet dessert soup.

Yoga

I have been practising yoga for almost 5 years now and I am absolutely loving it. Recently I took up Pilates class which also helps to not only build flexibility, but also strength, endurance, and coordination in the legs, abdominals, arms and back.

Congee

Since there was some left over roast pork in the fridge, I used it to cook congee. The roast pork is added into the congee while it is cooking. Once it is ready to be served, I sprinkle some chopped spring onions, fried minced garlic, a dash of white pepper and soy sauce on top of the congee.

Ku-ring-gai National Park

We went bush walking in Ku-ring-gai National Park last Sunday. We parked the car at Kitchener Street and started our walk from there. It was a great way to experience the bush and yet so near to urban living. There were some steep but manageable track along the way. We even spotted a kangaroo and found many types of plant species and trees.

Grilled Sausages

Last night I made some mashed potatoes, grilled some sausages and served it with broccoli for dinner. Just simply delicious food.
