Shoku-Pan is a Japanese whitebread that’s delicately crusty and the inside is mochi-fluffy – entirely soft and chewy, the whole experience of biting into this toasted is simply … divine. Especially when the load is fresh out of the oven … butter just melts …
Rainbow & Spices
Yes, you’ve got to what you got to do – let’s not live in denial or politicize a public health/medical issue – and while we protect our personal liberty, those around you have the same rights to life free of virus and disease as much as you do – So yes, I put on my mask and for me, something new and extra – a face shield ! feels like some hero cartoon character – and went to see my doctor. I love the nurse there – & I love my doctor ! She seemd relieved to see me all in my vigilent armor 🙂 Sheer respect I hold for these medical providers working day to day hard to keep us healthy and safe.
This attitude of – I already know this stuff – does not serve – it’s always nice to be reminded and inspired by the What is the Rainbow flyer on their bulletin board. Flu shot? Done! As the doctor say, you are “training” your immune system and our immune system definitely has to be FIT going into THIS winter. Be prepared everyone.

Never want to get flu again!

Green Goddess Night
Whenever I am stressed, I whipped up for salads and curry rice, Green Goddess! Here, looking more than a condiment as I smother the curry dish with this green goddess because its just soooooo yummy ! Can’t help myself …
Here’s a quick recipe:
- 2-3 c fresh cilantro
- 1-3 garlic cloves
- 1 lime squeezed juice – about 1/4 c
- 1 lemon squeezed juice 1/3 c-ish
- 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup, honey or agave syrup (test for your preference)
- ½ t ground coriander
- ½ t sea salt
In food processor just whirl the above and drizzle
- ½ c extra-virgin olive oil
as you keep whirling until the consistency is smooth. Do not over process.
It’s pretty tasty as a salad dressing above – BUT make them creamy to go with curry or any spicy dishes – SO refreshing !
Creaminess may be achieved by adding the following:
1 avocado
or
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk is creamier but low fat tastes fine)
or
Miyoko’s cream cheese is lovely too
