Happy moments from San Diego stay..

A spring afternoon.........
Tea time with my spouse..

My recipe: Quinoa salad....

Quinoa...an Amaranth family pseudograin...
I like its taste..

If preparing make sure to wash the saponins well...these soapy chemical harm gut mucosa..

Gum arabic..

Gum arabic.........food thickener..
Collected from a variety of acacia tree..
A major source of economy from arid regions of Africa...

Lovely camellias..........

Camellias...these tea family plants bloom in winter.........one of the prettiest flowers........

Apartments we lived in...
