LOVING REFLECTIONS:The Tapestry Of My Life

Happy new year to everyon. My shoulder kept me away for a while.

For the first time in my life I had intervene in my brother's behaviour regarding their desire to leave their girlfriend in a drunken rage in the middle of waiting for cancer results..

I told him for four days that the mature thing is to sit down and discuss all the issues with the girlfriend.

Eventually the relationship continues ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Leo ascendant with Virgo mars, Jupiter and saturn feel so very cruel sometimes. Just because I gave the wrong amount by mistake should not make me a fucking idiot and an imbecile. How can a third mistake in four years cancel out all nice things I have given and done right?

They do know it is the same as mental violence and they have committed not be verbally aggressive ever again. Still it happens sometimes - mostly when the moon transits Leo, Virgo or Pisces.

The snow is coming soon

In your home,

With no particular place to go,

You develop a case of cabin fever,

With its numbing blow,

And not a single ray of sunshine,

Saves your soul from turning,

into as plain and wilted as your cardboard coloured walls.

A really easy two ingredient recipe/method:

Boil 250 grams of gluten free potato gnocchi for two minutes. Fry a can of drained chickpeas in oil for 10 minutes. Add chilli powder and salt. Plate up.

This is for those days you have the energy for cooking.

Frozen veggie mix, chickpea rice and a mild mushroom sauce

Boil the rice. Add salt and seasonings to taste. Fry the veggies, and season with salt and cumin. When the veggies were done i just poured the already made on top, mixed it well and heated it through.

The mushroom sauce was made and given to me by a friend. I haven't any recipe but here's what I can gather: it's a chinese soy sauce and fresh tomato sauce based thickened with either corn starch or a vegan roux. There's way over two cloves of garlic. My firiend said to add chilli myself, either powder or fresh. The mushrooms are white jumbo ones.

When you play with imagination and imagery, you can turn an ice lolly into an ice~skating rink. This allows me to make great leaps in my creativity if the poem calls for it.

The grass does not look as green as it used to. Does it really matter? You remember it. You feel it. So it is still green.

Vegan Tea Sandwiches

[gemlibscorp]

These are so beautiful. Thank you morethansalad

Today's recipe is fried croquettes / nuggets, mashed potatoes and eggplant puree.

Grab your favourite vegan croquettes or nuggets. Defrost them in the microwave before frying in olive oil or vegan. Prepare mash from scratch or use your favourite instant variety. Serve with your desired condiments. I used hoisin sauce this time. You can leave out the eggplant puree but i find the texture nice.

Summer wind is a flowing bathrobe

The curtains are embracing the curious kitten

When it rains the seals of my mind falter

A chubby belly is a safe deposit box for a high standard of living

The feet of an electric hand mixer are paddilng the dough

Unsafety is made as safe as the sigh of a cat falling asleep.
