Inge Lehmann’s 127th Birthday - Google Doodles

Yesterday, May 12, on the eve of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann’s birthday, I'm deeply saddened by the news of another over 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal.  My thoughts and prayers go out to those impacted by the devastating earthquake, their family members and their friends.

People in Nepal will need our help for emergency shelter, health care, food and safe drinking water.  Let's donate what we can to help people there.  Donation will be matched by the Government of Canada through the Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund.

For more information, please visit Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund - How to Make a Donation

If you are not Canadian, please check if your Government also has a matching program for any relief fund donations.
 
May all the seismologists in this world find a good early warning system for earthquake.

Victoria Day long weekend is around the corner.  It is the official weekend for Canadians to start our barbecue season.  And this is also the long weekend we unofficially start our cottage season.  We may need to stock up our food.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 53

My sis bought some apricots.  I love the orange colour.  So, this time I think I can make smoothie with beautiful colour just like the recipe books.  An orange colour smoothie!

Wait a second.  I shouldn't focus on the colour of my smoothie.  I should concentrate on the health benefit of it.


Bright colour smoothie does make me feel happier, though.  Sorry.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 52

bought and ate some dried white mulberries.  I learned about how to make a dried fruit crust when one of my friends used dried white mulberries and dates for the crust.  Another flour-free, gluten-free, nut-free, egg-free, dairy-free, sugar-free and soy-free raw vegan crust.  So, I'm so eager to go to Bulk Barn to buy some mulberries.

Mulberry was listed as the latest superfood in 2013 at Dr. Oz's show.  I only see his show occasionally so I didn't know about this superfood until now.  According to Dr. Oz.com, white mulberry may help lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol, prevent diabetes and protect our hearts. 

Dried white mulberries are sweet, soft and chewy at the inside and some of them are crunch at the outside.  So how nutritious is the dried mulberries I bought?

Loco moco is a recognized cultural cuisine icon in Hawaii, Alvin!!

Last night (May 10) at the MasterChef Canada (CTV) the self-taught Demon Chef judge Alvin Leung told one of the contestants Christopher Siu that his loco moco is nothing Hawaiian.  Alvin, you are so wrong.  Loco moco is a Hawaiian culinary staple.  Everyone who loves Hawaii or every Hawaiian knows loco moco.  It is a Hawaiian comfort food / fast food same as poutine to Canadian.

The loco moco, a Hawaiian comfort food, I ate in Honolulu, Hawaii
