Just a gallimaufry of photos 📷

The fruit is regarded as poisonous and reputedly causes hiccups.

Fish-fragrant eggplant
The name is a misnomer  there's no fish in this dish at all! This classic derives its name from the quintessential sweet, sour, and spicy sauce for Sichuan fish dishes.

  17. Dearest Christina,
    What a wonderful way for having such a reunion with your cousins in Canada!
    Sure, such authentic food works fabulous for feeling together as one family and one culture—love that.
    You have seen such special places like the Baptismal font at Salisbury Cathedral—Cruciform in shape and with a three meter span to allow total immersion... No wonder you got such perfect reflection!
    The flowers are paradise like and so is the food.
    A perfect post again for the balance between body and soul!
    Big hugs to you,
    Mariette
