Nasi Lemak......its name is a Malay word that literally means 'rice in cream'. The name is derived from the cooking process whereby rice is soaked in coconut cream and then the mixture steamed.
... this is a "blowed up" detail from a watercolor I did in 1980, as you can see from the date. The date is a suggestion from friend, Mifflin Dove, who is a collector of historical documents, signatures and paintings, among other things..
... early on in the process of painting and going to art shows, I learned buyers of current art were suspicious of anything the artist seemed to have had on hand for a while, hence I quit dating my art. Also dating is a bit of a "strut across the stage" because it indicates you believe someone doing research on your art in the distant future will find it helpful in placing you and your art into the proper place in history ... koff ... koff ..... (I learned "koff koff" from Ruth Hamilton, British writer ... but I digress as the elderly are wont to do ... "wont to do?" ... I probably read that somewhere.
... back to the 1980 watercolor I called, "Scarecrow Dressed in the Latest Style," which was a line from a 1960s or 70s folk song, but if I go into that, I'll be off on a week long research orgy on folk poets, song writers and musicians, so I struggle on.
... also I see day lilies, which were a less than pleasant memory from the past, but opening the day lily can would only yield worms ... hence a "can of worms." ... but also in the picture you see a BUCKET and a bucket is what I want to talk about today. Did you ever wonder where the expression "kick the bucket" came from? ... which seems a more sensible way to ask the question than, "do you know from whence came the expression, "kick the bucket?"
... here's the best I could find on the 'net.
THE BIG LIFT ... 1950
Kick the bucket
Meaning
To die.
Origin
We all know what a bucket is - and so this phrase appears rather odd. Why should kicking one be associated with dying?
The link between buckets and death was made by at least 1785, when the phrase was defined in Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue:
"To kick the bucket, to die."
One theory as to why, albeit with little evidence to support it, is that the phrase originates from the notion that people hanged themselves by standing on a bucket with a noose around their neck and then kicking the bucket away. There are no citations that relate the phrase to suicide and, in any case, why a bucket? Whenever I've needed something to stand on I can't recall ever opting for a bucket. This theory doesn't stand up any better than the supposed buckets did.
The mist begins to clear with the fact that in 16th century England bucket had an additional meaning (and in some parts it still has), i.e. a beam or yoke used to hang or carry items. The term may have been introduced into English from the French trébuchet - meaning a balance, or buque - meaning a yoke. That meaning of bucket was referred to in Peter Levins' Manipulus vocabulorum. A dictionarie of English and Latine wordes, 1570:
"A Bucket, beame, tollo."
and was used by Shakespeare in Henry IV Part II, 1597:
"Swifter then he that gibbets on the Brewers Bucket." [to gibbet meant to hang]
The wooden frame that was used to hang animals up by their feet for slaughter was called a bucket. Not unnaturally they were likely to struggle or to spasm after death and hence 'kick the bucket'.
... I'm sure this is all leading up to something; perhaps tomorrow I'll know ... koff koff

Las Leonas y sus amigas disputaron un partido y todo lo recaudado iba destinado a la recuperacion de Cami, quien además de ser la agasajada de la tarde, nos dejo un ejemplo de fuerza, y alegria por la vida, gracias Cami por transmitir tanta luz. Gracias a toda la gente de Quilmes que demostro lo que es trabajar en equipo, por y para Cami.
