EDIS - Every Day is Saturday !

I was talking to someone over the weekend and he introduced me to a new acronym - EDIS [Every Day is Saturday]. It's very true when you're working on your own projects - Everyday us as much a Saturday as it is a Monday :) What would you do if every day was indeed Saturday for you? 

Today is a beautiful day outside in San Francisco, but yet I am at home working in my home office pictured below. I finally got to using my TV as my second monitor to watch logs of the apps I'm building. I love the multi-purpose TV/Monitor/Internet Device (yes I can tweet or facebook directly from my TV with the remote control as keyboard :))

My new Orchid

Img_3027

I went to the CNY Chinatown Flower festival on Sunday and got this new orchid plant from there. It is customary for the Chinese to decorate their homes with bright-coloured plants for Chinese New Year, a tradition which symbolises rebirth, growth, happiness, good fortune and prosperity, among others. The Orchid represents love, luxury, beauty, strength and refinement, virility and long life. Hopefully this year of the Rabbit will have a lot of these things in store for me :)

Happy Chinese New Year to all !!

Green Papaya Salad from Freshly plucked papaya in my yard..

Joys of living in a tropical island is you usually have good tropical fruits all year round. Most people in Mauritius have some kind of fruit trees in their yard. In my yard, we have a papaya tree, a banana tree, mango tree, a passion fruit vines, a plum tree that does not grow any fruit and strawberry shrubs.

Today, I cooked thai food for my mom and sister. I found some green curry paste in a supermarket in Mauritius and decided to make a vegetarian curry with potatoes, pumpkin and Broccoli.

To go with that, I thought I'll make a Papaya Salad to go with the thai theme. There's tons of green papaya on the tree in the yard. They grow in big bunches. I plucked one to make a salad from. Nothing better than a very fresh organic papaya salad picked from your own yard :)
