韮菜煎餅

自家園的韮菜不多，不過只要割一些就可做韮菜煎餅。

真恨不得能空中翻餅，原圓全餅煎另一面。

要不要試試？

罷了，怕丢了！

可口能吃就好。

2016 St. Louis Malaysian & Singaporean Pot Luck

Today was a pot-luck gathering of Malaysians & Singaporeans from the region.  Attendance was great, and some people drove several hours from other states to attend!

The festivities have outgrown any one person's home, so this year it was held at Creve Coeur Park.

The Singapore (left) & Malaysia (right) flags were up, just in case the aroma of all the food didn't tell people they were in the right place.  :-) 

The theme of the gathering is, of course, FOOD!  

I brought vegetarian 'char siu' (Chinese BBQ sauce on 'meatless pork'.)

 These are just a few of the curries.  Here we have the chicken, beef, and pork curries.

 All kinds of noodles

The desserts table. 

Curry puffs were gone quickly, seemed very popular.

More curry!  This one is fish curry (asam ikan)

Enjoying lunch and a beautiful view of Creve Coeur Lake.

The food theme continues!

Everyone enjoyed the homemade dishes.

Beautiful day, great turnout, & many wonderful, wonderful people!

Thanks to our organizer, Daniel.

Projection

天：一向以來我都是呈現得很真實，而很多雲往往就會出現各種的情緒狀態。

甲雲：的確，有時我就是不知怎樣的，會很妒忌，又氣憤，然後失望。

乙雲：對啊，不知為何，我内在有批判的聲音，就會指責，過後又很内疚。

天：嗯，也許這就是投射，由於我的透實面，你們内在陰暗的一面就很容易顯現出來。

Sky: I always show as clearly as I can, but a lot of Clouds seem to have many emotions.
Cloud A: Yeah, sometimes I feel jealous, then maybe angry, and disappointed. I don't know.
Cloud B: Right, me too. My inner voice judges and blames, and I feel guilty after that.
Sky: Hmm, this might be projection, because of my true appearance, your inner dark side show up easily.    

Existence

葉對花示愛："因為有我疼你，我的生存才有價值！"

花含羞表白："因為我被你愛，我的存在才有意義！"

日、土、水和空氣狠狠訓道："閉嘴！如果不是因為有我們，你们两怎能存在生存？"

Leaf said to Flower: "Because I love you, I feel the worth of my life!"
Flower replied: "Because  I am loved by you, I feel the meaning of my existence!" 

Sun, Soil, Water, and Air barked: "Quiet down you two!  If not for us, how would either of you exist?"

Cauliflower

我們知道的菜花都是白色。

現在我像看到花一樣，可以有多種顏色，同時看到青、紫、橙的菜花，真是讓我有點驚訝！

讀書會網友

時間到了，Skype 上看到每個人都聯系上了，唯有 Tom 缺席。

我們幾位朋友各自在家用Skype上網，一起進行楞嚴經讀書會，不知不覺也有三年（不過，期間也有人加入不久的）。Tom 是被其中一位佛友邀加入，除了她認識見過，我們都沒見過 Tom。但是，我們都好像已是很好的佛友，討論經書，分享生活，互相學習。老實說，我是一個不精進研讀硬内容書藉及聽法師沉悶講經的人，我很喜歡這樣一起同階層輕鬆學習的讀書會，很方便在家悠閒上網，即能固定在這段時間與他們交流，我很珍惜這樣的緣（似乎有幾位也和我有一樣的想法）。

可是Tom ，雖然他的Skype還在，但他將永遠缺席了！

願廖春棠（Tom）往生善趣。
