Good Morning!
Another sunny morning altho a little damp on road and grasses. Must have been raining a tad last night or sometime before I woke up 😁
Yesterday I replanted my tulips from front yard to pots. I also repotted my Thai banana, aloe plant, and planted some turmeric roots. My husband said he’s gonna build me another raised bed, so that I can replant my peonies from front yard to back yard 😊 I can’t wait. I also wanna move my bleeding hearts, ferns, narcius, hydrangea and roses. If we truly gonna have work done on the front yard, I’m saving my plants first 😁
I wish raised bed could be done tomorrow but I have fundraiser for the library event to organize and attend to, so raised bed has to wait next weekend 😊
This morning I am sharing one of our favorites, bittergourd stir fry. Hopefully my husband and I can live up to 100 years old 😁 We’ve been consuming bittergourd for years, in fact I have been consuming since I was a teen, and a couple of years back we learned, the Okinawan live up to 100, since they consume healthy foods, which one of them is bittergourd 🥳
2 large and long bittergourd
Enough salt
1 onion
