Play me
an aria and I’ll give you a prawn,
Not
just any prawn, a Kingly prawn.
Organic
and sustainably sourced,
Deliciously
simple with no need to be sauced!
This
recipe is a clash of bells with the merriest sound; it is restaurant food at
home, made easy. It is what you might eat on a boat floating along the
beautiful backwaters of Kerala, and I assure you, it is very hard to get this
recipe wrong.
The key
ingredient, as my little ditty highlighted, are prawns. There are two kinds of
prawns, cold-water prawns and warm-water prawns. My taste buds prefer the
warm-water kind. I cannot highlight enough how important it is to buy organic
ones, or those from a certified fishery.
They
may be hard to come buy, though are seriously worth the search and expense.
Prawns prepared in this way, will leave you wanting more. The lingering taste of spice and sea gives way to thoughts and ideas that welcome change and growth!
I
promise!!!
I read
this the other day and it brought comfort to me…
New
Beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.
Lao Tzu
A lyric
in Florence and the Machine’s “Shake it out” has a similar message,
It’s
always darkest before the dawn.
I’ve
been doing some deep sea diving of my own recently, metaphorically speaking!
It’s funny, because it is without a doubt that the hardest times are the
brightest too in a sense, I mean that the torch which gives insight, compassion,
forgiveness, and gratitude is often given extra batteries to help the light/hope
reach that bit further.
It’s
Friday, and I have a special Feeling Food message for you…
I want
to say, love the self, that is you!
Nurture
the self, that is you!
Be kind
to the self, that is you!
Forgive
the self, that is you!
Forgive
the other, who hurt the self, that is you!
Let go
of the hurt, and heal the self that is you!
Be
strong always beautiful friends, and I hope you enjoy the "secret elixir" that is, sea salad, with its potent mix of minerals, together with freshest prawns, one can't help but feel swimmingly fantastic! Prawntastic!!! Here’s to a lovely Fish Friday!
