Heya all, I'm back ๐Ÿ‘‹ I've seen lunar new year photos in my area. Oh boy, the crowd was huge indeed ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Am I glad I just stayed home ๐Ÿ˜† Peace and quiet is way better as far as I'm concerned.

I decided to slice the nian gao I got and cooked only enough for snacks. Here I dipped the pieces in one egg. It is believed that the nian gao represents hopes for growth, success, improved income while the sticky texture signifies strong family unity. Pretty ironic, don't you think? 'Coz my daughter and I are living separately from each other. ๐Ÿ˜…

I decided to pan fry the pieces dipped in egg. Last year I attempted cooking it in the air fryer. It was easier cooking wise, although the cleaning up was way difficult. ๐Ÿ˜† I've got more pieces I can cook next time around.

My daily steps are not that much but I do my best to reach my daily target of 5K minimum. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I'd admit it's a struggle esp. on regular days. I guess what matters is I do my best. ๐Ÿ™Œ


Prompt A Day : QUOTE

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." - Maya Angelou

shoutout to @shadowspub for the daily prompt (subscribe to her newsletter)

I chose this quote from last week, as I believe it's more interesting to talk about. Most students do not like studying history. I guess this is one reason most do not learn from the mistakes of the past ๐Ÿ˜… I'd say that's pretty costly. I find history fascinating, but I wish we could learn more, esp. about the ancient past. I watched the first season of Ancient Apocalypse and really enjoyed it. Honestly, for me, it's not impossible that there was a previous advanced civilization or even more that got wiped out. Maybe our current one would someday head there too. ๐Ÿ˜œ

The Nian Gao looks delicious!
While it feels ironic right now, the stickiness represents the bond you share with your daughter regardless of the distance. Physical distance can't break that family unity. ๐Ÿ™‚

It's interesting to discover new foods. I don't know what nian gao is, but I assume it's something tasty. Congratulations on reaching your step goal.

Setting your step goal, or any goal for that matter, and just doing your best with it, is excellent. On the topic of history, especially ancient history, I'd say that huge portions of it have been erased and hidden, with fake version put in their place, to support particular narratives and agendas. I'd also say that there were many extremely advanced civilizations on earth, and many not even fully of earth, but rather mostly, or in part, from elsewhere. Our real history makes any sci-fi pale by comparison. Happy Friday, my friend! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

Am glad you were able to achieve your daily steps count. Our inability to learn from history has been the bane of our present society. Thanks for sharing your hat prompt. Enjoy your day

No matter how pained we feel about the past we cannot unlive it. It only serve as a guide so that we don't repeat the mistakes of the past. I see the nian gao as a tasty food too. Enjoy your meal.

Sometimes staying at home is the best option to enjoy the calm.
While the celebrations are exciting, the tranquility also has its charm ๐Ÿ˜Š
That food looks delicious.
