"All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see" - Kansas

This song reminds me of King Solomon when he says everything is meaningless
See Ecclesiastes 1-2 


"All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see"


Get Dust in the Wind by Kansas, on iTunes

Listening to some of my favourite hymns



Immortal, Invisible, GOD Only Wise

"To all life thou givest, to both great and small,
In all life thou livest, the true life of all,
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish but naught changeth thee"



To GOD be the Glory

" ... To every believer the promise of GOD,
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives"




O GOD, Our Help in Ages Past

"Before the hills in order stood, or earth received its frame,
From everlasting thou art GOD, to endless years the same"

Listening to Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) while cooking drumsticks with potatoes and coconut


Peeling the outer skin of the drumsticks since they are bitter




Cutting potatoes and drumsticks to similar size (so that they cook in the same time)


In addition to the cumin seeds, red chilly and onions shown below, I also added turmeric powder, 
a little salt,
and grated coconut of course!


Cook the potatoes (with turmeric) for a few minutes before adding the drumsticks and coconut
Makes the potato look yellow, in addition to the health benefits of turmeric!


Meanwhile, Inside is a song from Jethro Tull's third album, Benefit released in 1970




Btw, Ian Anderson, Mark Knopfler, and Gordon Lightfoot, 
have played a vital role in my cooking, and painting for over thirty years!

#Art #Painting Children at the Well, Fort William, Canada

Many years ago, we travelled to Fort William on the Kaministiquia River in Ontario


The children were thirsty and wanted water ...
