I recently made a very tasty tofu pasta topping with leeks, mushrooms, tomato puree & Parmesan cheese.
I picked wild garlic today. Am going to make some pesto as it has a short season.
Also made a spicy veg and potato omelette with cayenne pepper & smoked paprika.

i am merely another rude american,
but i would like to brashly invite myself to supper

sincerely,
rookie

stay close to the loo

Attain the center of emptiness,
Preserve the utmost quiet;
As myriad things act in concert
I thereby observe the return.
Things flourish,
Then each returns to its root.
Returning to the root
Is called stillness:
Stillness is called return to Life,
Return to Life is called the constant;
Knowing the constant is called enlightenment.

~ Tao-te Ching

Even if, bright as a flash of lightning,

Death were to strike you today,

Be prepared to die without sorrow

Or regret, giving up attachment to

What you are leaving behind.

Without ever ceasing to recognize

The authentic view of the real,

Leave this life like the eagle

That soars into the blue sky.

~ Dilgo Khyentse (1910-1991)

Fearful of death, I walked in the mountains.
By meditating on its uncertain hour,
I conquered the immortal bastion
Of the immutable.
Now I am far beyond fearing death.

~ Milarepa
