the porridge
i remember blogging about the steaming bowl of noodles before this. sometimes, we stumble upon other things in life. today, i had a sudden urge to blog about a bowl of porridge. hope you enjoy it 
as you know, a bowl of porridge comes with an assortment of ingredients. you have a choice of chicken, groundnuts, preserved eggs, dried oysters and many more. it all really depends on the person actually. some may comment, that certain ingredients don’t taste so good and so forth. the most important ingredient i feel, is the labour of love and care involved in preparing the dish. of course too much of anything, is a bad thing.
how do you value a well prepared bowl of porridge? how do you place a price on it? i guess no one has the absolute answer. some may not be interested at all. some may find it priceless. i guess it’s as the saying goes, “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. if a person likes it, they may patiently wait in a long line and pay whatever is due, to have it.
having gone through some ups and downs in life, my advice would be, don’t focus so much about the ingredients, price or anything. the most important thing is enjoying it. after all, you have already been offered the bowl of porridge. it is up to you on how to value it. life can be as simple as we want it, or as complicated as we choose it. hope you understand my blog today.
oh man! what can i say?simplicity at its best!though chocolate may seem to be always the popular choice of describing life’s ups and downs,you have choosen the bland and pale looking porridge as your choice.hmmm… and i think the ingredients play an important role.for garnishing or for your taste bud,it depends on your preference…
hehe. yeah! what’s with me and food…for me the ingredients are crucial, but i also accept the fact that it can be bland sometimes. it depends entirely on your creativity to "spice" up the dish. so don’t worry about the initial bowl yeah. even the most bland porridge can be the most wonderful thing if you take the time to "flavour" it. and i personally think it would be worth it. someone once told me, i am kinda weird. i can be easily pleased and contented, yet i am volatile when it comes to certain things. oh well, the joys of being me.
i love your blog, great !
