Celebrating at KENZO All You Can Eat Sushi, Campbell

 Wow! Beautiful colors.





Naaaa.... guys had these.  I stayed with the delicious Bento Box.

Tasty Meal Recipe from Sambazon Diet Book

Since I have to watch out for Salt intake, I started on this SAMBAZON diet.  Just to keep me on track and away from too much salty food.
 
 What!  I thought it was for a Single serving.  So I stack two patties of vege burgers.  Found out that the recipe was for two servings.  But I was so hungry.  I enjoyed both patties.
Vege burgers, shredded veges - kale, lettuce, red and green cabbage, zucchini, Brussels sprouts, fresh organic home grown tomato slice, sauteed mushrooms with onions, sliced avocado.  
 Lightly sauteed beet greens, vegetable mix, beets, and topped with orange slices.  Slightly seasoned with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar.

Year 2013's Home Grown Veges and Fruits

 Very first home grown Cantaloupe.  I thought it was watermelon!
 



 Japanese FUYU KAKI
 Home Grown Heirloom Tomatoes from my mom's garden.


Camping at Henry Coe State Park

Just Beautiful.




 Can you tell if this crawdad in the Frog Lake is alive or not?   So I used a stick to gently poke at it - we all screamed! in surprise.  It is alive.   Sorry Mr. Crawdad.  We didn't know you were enjoying a Mud Bath.


 And of course, what is a camping without the candy raid by a 3 feet tall Raccoon.

Updates on Lotus Seed Germination - My Pink Lips Lotus Seeds

This is the 3rd years of Pink Lips, and it has given me many joyful hours.   The 2nd Blossom produced 16 seeds that germinated.  Strangely this year, the germination took many days, contrary to the first year, it only took few hours to sprout and start to grow within 2 days.  These groups took more than 2 weeks+.  Regardless I am so very thankful for their rebirth.  I hope I can keep them alive through the winter, as the other two - CHAWANBASU and PINK LADY have decided to return to earth after last year.



 


 Breached Sprouting!!!

 Finally after two weeks later...   (using clean egg shells to keep them from floating.)




 Time to transplant to their permanent home.
