bento mondays, jumbled thoughts...

new objective for mondays.
since i'm taking riding lessons on monday evenings at dinnertime. it's a better idea to prepare bento's to take to the barn instead of eating the bull kaka fast food out ther.

this week, i managed to make a recipe from Helene Hendersen's The Swedish Table cookbook, using brussels sprouts, onions, n italian sausages. basically, as i'm making this, i realized while slicing up brussels tht they r like mini cabbages. something clicked 4 me then. STIR-FRY! tht's wht i'm making! so i used the garlic comfit instead o fresh garlic as eric gower suggested 4 ths recipe. then when the dish is all done, i used the left-over basmati rice n made a fried rice w/the dish. n packed a side of the siracha sauce for stronger flavor. since the italian sausage suggested orig in recipe was "hot" but i don't eat spicy, it's a good way to perk it up afterwards, allowing the non-spicy vs spicy eater the choice. siracha goes with everything anyway.

i also packed a few choco-chip cookies we made over the weekend, ice tea (i made cold infused).

this was quite a success, tho i didn't manage the time really well.
next time tho. so i started reading the just bento blog by maki who is also the author of just hungry blog. very inspiring. i think, after i get out ther n find my used books, n library books n buttons. i might try to make the tea muffin?
ah, so many ideas.
wish the kids r nearby so i can make their bento to school. wht fun!

am i being domesticated? nope. i've always been interested in cooking or at least cookbooks. i was once asked if i collected anything. everyone has a sort of collection here n ther, right? thinking back thru the yrs... i had, as a kid, a collection of stamps. i enjoyed the removing of the stamps off the envelopes. i loved the mail from/ dated stamp. i guess i'd been a dream traveller ever since, just not knowing it. but i soon gave'em to my younger cousins to play with.
over the yrs i had a little collection o ths n tht, but in the end, since was never really serious, i'd end up giving it away or chucking it out. collecting things takes time n energy n lots o space. i'd like to not have too much things, stuffs. so from time-to-time, i'd reorg n chuck or donate or giveaway (ths, i'm a bit like mom) as i'm always moving around, i tend to want to compress my belongings in these reorgs (which usually happens when i'm moving too)

a small collection i hv back at my parents' home, r things fr/traveling n gifts from ppl. becuz they'r gifts, i can't ever throw'em out. sentimental values r way high on my list i guess. in these i hv a little box n in the boxes, r little pebbles from my travels. i guess depending on wher i wnt, sometimes the souvenir r things from nature, sometimes from artists or whatnots.

as i collected lots of books. mythology is one category i love. fictions, art books, design sources, pattern books, etc but above all, i love cookbooks. whenever i start 2 rid myself o possessions, cookbooks always remain with me. n of course the cooking magazines too. even with internet n recipes posted all over, i still cant' resist wanting to own certain cookbooks. so i guess the top love i hv is for cookbooks. how i wish i can get into the contained storage where 1/2 of my books r n things so i can sort'em out.

doesn't collecting take up too much space? we humans r such funny creatures, aren't we? like snails n turtles, we pack a "home" n lug it around all the time w/us. b it a small purse, messenger bag, backpack, tote, luggages... we just move things back n forth, sometimes in short distances, at times across the globe. alas, i think it can't b helped. our conscious state is trained differently than other animals on ths planet. we hv spare time but our mind doesn't stop thinking n well, it creates desire n wants. feeling of guilt when we hv too much free time. we hv to b like worker bees or else we dunno wht to do w/ourselves. so to fill these spare moments, we fill it w/more tasks n thoughts n goals, etc. can't b helped... unless we can b at ease w/nothingness. not easy. so on we go.

i think it is time to go search out the library books. fill my head up w/more things i can't remember well.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
