甜谷

pina colada in the cold, favourite starbugs, christmas lights through the library, c'est la vie, little streets of food, boiling congee, cold wintry night, laughs, old jokes, silky puddings, ginger and egg, heavy books...

野餐

今天，做了點瑜珈。我們在海邊散步，買了芝士，黑麵包，果醬，在聖誕樹下野餐，書大約看了兩頁，還分享了薑絲十足的小雪糕。

When one starts feeling frustrated from thinking, it's time to swim/jog

thinking

'One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way..' -- vincent van gogh.

淡雪チーズスフレケーキ

light a candle, read a book, and bake a cake. Nice Cinnamon spice filled the air.

淡雪

it's really interesting how we watch the same film or read the same book in different stages of our lives and have totally different feelings, or picked up something we haven't noticed before. the texture between cheesecake and souffle is where the best world lies, it's the world of 淡雪チーズスフレケーキ, what kind of flavours can we infuse into it? eggnog? where's my imaginary christmas tree? isn't it good that there are things to look forward in our lives? the home in rural Yamagata in The Departures is so beautiful..

there are so many good books in the world - read, breathe, think, draw, bake, walk and smile!

當有時間，就不知道該先做什麼，是重看看過幾十遍的書嗎？那肯定是 La Riviere a L'envers或L'Élégance du hérisson...哈。又會無試過撞到都鍾意睇呢兩本書的人。

in college for formal tonight, seems like everyone is here ♥ : ) the menu for tonite's xmas dinner was homemade chestnut soup; roast turkey, pigs in blankets, swede & carrot puree buttered new potatoes and red wine jus (or mushroom wellington, which was even better); christmas pudding & brandy sauce AND cheese board and biscuits AND coffee and mince pie, AND pre-dinner wine AND red, white, sherry and port... food after my food-less week... end of michaelmas term.
