Pink little flowers are starting to bloom at the garden downstairs. I like little flowers—flowers with no name but together contribute every bit of joy for me everyday.

 

The sharp eyed would note that the leaves are not perfect. The perfectionists would likely not like the fact that I have decided on the focusing on the leaves and not the flowers either.

 

But you know, perfection will not exist if not for imperfection. And a photograph without imperfection is not really a depiction of reality. I celebrate imperfections and I celebrate all. If I paint flowers, they will not be perfect either. So yes, it is intentional.

Hard Rock Cafe, Times Square, New York City. This is another one of those cases where I think that black and white works a lot better as the color overdose of neon signs is quite a distraction to the visual senses — when more is less and less is more.

This is what I eat every morning as well as late at night when I need a snack — Greek yogurt, with granola for texture, and dried fruits for natural sugar.

 

Chobani is my favorite Greek Yogurt brand. I learned about it many years ago ~2006 when I lived in New York. At the time, I was experimenting with frozen yogurt as a healthier alternative to ice cream.

 

Making homemade ice cream is something that I have been doing since 1995. It is something that I made a lot of. I love making ice cream because most of it is about making the perfect vanilla base and then throwing whatever you want into it to make it special.

 

The perfect vanilla ice cream I make requires 12 egg yolks per quart. It’s not for the faint of heart. You’d be full with just two spoonful.

 

To make frozen yogurt, you need yogurt. If you use regular yogurt, you need to first strain them with cheese cloth, which takes a long time. That’s why I usually just buy greek yogurt to speed up the process.

 

But then I realized that it’s a fantastic product on its own, especially when mixed with granola and fruits. I used to buy all of these things separately, but when I discovered Kellogg’s having this dried fruits and granola mix, I started buy that instead.

 

Quick and simple. That’s how all food should be.
