忙碌的二三月

轉眼2024年也過了四分之一。農曆年、家人的健康挑戰、被佔領的巴勒斯坦不東傳來人命傷亡的消息。復活節和清明也陸續到來。天氣乍暖還寒又馬上跳入沉悶濕熱的長週末。正好要像蛇王新般「蛇王」一吓,抖抖氣,迎接春天來臨。

來年的龍,雖則顏色奪目,但看上去有點陰險,也許要花點功夫來駕馭!

以色列的戰爭罪行 israeli war crimes in gaza

the desperate attack by hamas on civilians in southern israel drew world attention again back to long standing suffering of palestinian people in the hands of illegal occupiers on a de facto open air prison called gaza. apartheid, war crimes, occupation, depressing words/concepts appear in this interview of a veteran jurist, the first non-white woman judge in south africa, navi pillary. she also served in various capacity on human rights within the united nations. hear for yourself, facts are there for all of us to educate ourselves.

舊酒樓

舊派酒樓買少見少。我雖然兒時有親戚住北角,不過只是今天才到他們舊居後面渣華道之
鳳城酒樓飲茶。鵪鶉蛋燒賣、鮮蝦韭菜餃和薑蔥蒸爽肚味道不錯,尤其是後者。雖不是萬中無一的佳作,但也希望這些有特色的酒樓長做長有啦!

how much dough can knowledge command?

at an unmanned bookstore inside a semi empty shopping mall in kowloon, a darn good reference book costs less than a
hamburger. it costs probably less
than any plain loaf of bread you can get from most of the local bakeries in town.

after flipping through the pages, i am sure those who like one liners or memes would love this ‘dictionary’. what a compact and powerful source for quotations!

so if you are broke and hungry, would you feed your stomach or your mind first?

一個月另一年前

是mirror十二子其中之一搞免費乘搭天星小輪。那時因疫情未通關、亦未發生表演期間大屏幕墮下弄傷舞蹈員。一年後即一個月前,恢復通關了,下午除了歌迷還擠滿了內地旅遊團(似乎帶團領隊都是識途老馬,連四蚊船費都慳返)。舞蹈員仍然留醫,開始接受物理及其它形形種種治療。我仍然不是歌迷,只見免費的話晚上歸途放慢腳步吹吹海風。

知識何價

一年一度的香港書展https://hkbookfair.hktdc.com/tc/index.html

展期中段已有一百元十本書的優惠。有國學、歷史、休閒、現代人職場點滴、林林總總。幾年前也許花時間研究寫下來的環保書,也只值十蚊?對喜歡買平價書的讀者無疑是佳事,但若然我是作者的話,少不免會有點唏噓。

要買趁手啦喂,十蚊本!

過期芝士 expired cheese

expired cheese, is that oxymoron? i finally opened one package of french goat cheese, over a year after the expiration date. paired with the humble "life bread" from "garden bakery", it was creamy and soft, not disappointing at all.

芝士會過期嗎? 往年2022到期的法國羊奶芝士,終於有機會配上平民嘅嘉頓生命麵包一嚐。入口軟滑,加一點羊奶的膻味,絕不似過期壞了的食品。食得好未必要食得貴!
