Flower Rolls
Flower rolls are soft, pillowy, steamed buns that are common in Chinese cuisine and are comparable to white bread in western diets.Dongpo pork
Twice-cooked pork (Sichuan cuisine)
The pork is simmered, sliced, and then stir-fried with an assortment of vegetables — capsicum, Chinese cabbage, leek, etc.Christmas is coming!
FROM THE TRAVEL ARCHIVES
Buerspassage 2019
Artists used things that end up in Amsterdam's canals to create a walkway that gives the illusion of walking through an underwater tunnel along the bottom of a canal with fish, air bubbles, reflections, an assortment of objects gliding and floating above you – bicycles, umbrellas, cogs, boat parts, liquor bottles, etc and yes, Vincent van Gogh's ear!
Can you spot the ear?
Gotta love the Dutch sense of humour!

The Dutch sense of humour is lovely! I have tree different passion flowers in my basement. I love the beautiful flowers very much.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Veronica!
Local Administration made beautiful Christmas decoretions along that pedestrian area!
ReplyDeleteInteresting info about the flavourful sauce, Veronica! I also enjoyed the Amsterdam Buerspassage's pictures from your travel archive
Nice post :-)
I loved flowers with two colors:) thanks for your sharing...
ReplyDeleteDearest Veronica,
ReplyDeleteWOW, could not sleep so got up at 4:40 AM and what a lovely surprise to read your post.
For me this time especially recognizable things from countries where I've lived...
Those moss roses are a dream to study—and you made them into poetry with your camera.
Oh, the food makes me able to taste it again—we both love the Sichuan cuisine.
Passion flowers of course are another miracle flower and we never forget the lovely Markisa fruit and the juice made from it...
Play it by ear! But you managed to twist the name Beurspassage in Amsterdam😏
Difficult as the eu is so typical Dutch and German language.
Your son is a good sportsman and able to climb those boulders!
Hugs to you from 9°C Georgia,
Mariette
Wonderful bright colours here to start my day well, when it is raining heavily outside.

Look at that handsome kid go! He's on his way to the top (in life as well as at the boulder-climbing gym I am sure!). I love your food photos as always and wish it would appear in real life right here in front of me ;>). Are those flowers blooming around you now? I don't know what your climate is like.

ReplyDeleteThe moss rose flowers were indeed colorful, Veronica Lee, especially the duo-toned ones. The pillow rolls looked delicious just from the photo. Nice to see the holiday lights across the walkway. When I was growing up, many towns did this, but today not so much.
ReplyDeleteThe flower rolls!! Bread is my weakness!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos!! Love the Christmas lights!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of pictures, Christmas is a-coming!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold and snowy out here, but seeing those bright flowers, we were transported right back to warm summer weather!
