Finally a weekend of N.O.T.H.I.N.G! It must have been a while since we have had a free weekend, because I simply cannot remember when the last time was when we don’t have to be going some place or do something because we just had to. It must have easily been 6 months ago since we have had a free weekend at home, for the whole day, and with no plans to do anything or errands to run.
It is a nice feeling to have as we while away the weekend, in the comfort of our own home and the company of three crazy cats.

After almost 6 months since it first began sprouting away, a few more months later mulling over if the plant actually supposed to be looking like this and then getting confused yet again with version #2 growing in the same pot, I think this is finally it!
I have no idea what it was that we have been growing in our balcony before this, where the leaves looked kind of funny. The scary thing was, I have even used some of those leaves for my rendang and other dishes, smelling as fragrant as the real tumeric leaves. God knows what the hell they were. Silver Bullet was speculating that they could just be weeds. Hence, the reason it grew and grew and grew relentlessly.
Silver Bullet has since dug out those so-called tumeric plants, and left the other version in the pot. It has thrived since. Currently, one of the pot is looking like the
tumeric plant is finally looking just like what a
tumeric plant would look like; an uncanny resemblance to the many images we have seen on the Internet. It has taken a while, but it seems like we are on the right track. Even the other pot has started sprouting tiny shoots of
tumeric leaves. At least one of us has THE reliable green thumb!
It’s so cool to be able to use fresh ingredients right out of our own balcony!

…and everything that’s nice.
While it’s not unusual, it is also not everyday that Silver Bullet would offer to make me breakfast; especially when I have to wake up earlier to go for my Pilates class on a weekend.
This morning, I was greeted with French toast dusted with cinnamon powder and icing sugar, accompanied by a warm glass of hot chocolate. My morning could not have gotten off to a better start! 😀
