Just like enjoying nature, I have been enjoying gardening and cooking since I can remember.
In the past posts, I have been showing different kinds of gardening and cooking techniques which I have learned or discovered by myself. In this post, I would like to touch upon why I have enjoyed them so much.
They Are Life
There are obvious reasons such as being self-sufficient, being more sustainable, eating healthy, saving money, etc. However, the most important reason for me is gardening and cooking bring joy to my heart. A joy to witness God's creation, the life itself, at work.
It amazes me to witness one seed sprout into a plant, grow bigger, put on flowers, bear fruits, and produce many seeds at the end. "But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold." Matthew 13:8
At the microbial level, reproduction rate is even more amazing. They are small yet replicate themselves super fast! I have worked with both cultured and wild yeast for making bread, beneficial bacteria for make fermented food, Keifer water, and Kombucha tea. Given the right environment, these little creatures surely work hard day and night! I am very pleased that even when I am sleeping, they don't mind keep working until the job is done. ;)
Cooking is Both a Science and an Art
It's physics/chemistry at work from the surface - combinations of ingredients, temperatures, time, how fast temperature changes, heat source, how much heat contact, etc. But it's an artist hand and a loving heart that make the food superb! No wonder mom's cooking is always the best and the most comforting. <3
I hope I have encouraged you to do more gardening and cooking. Thank you for stopping by today, my friend!
From my heart to your heart. <3

Your tacos look scrumptious! fresh from the garden and into the kitchen. The only way to eat healthily. Coming from your own garden makes it taste even better. I think cooking and gardening go hand in hand!

Gardening and cooking??? I love both but always have a hard starting with the cooking. When I finally overcome the initial resistance to cook, something yummy always comes out of the pot. Just so you know, in Africa soup rules the kitchen.

I try to avoid refined sugar and refined wheat flour, eat less meat and dairy. Other than that, I eat everything growing in my garden in season. :)

Enjoy the cuisine is magnificent, for me the kitchen is an art and it is not simply "cooking" one enjoys a lot of the cuisine of different countries when preparing a dish.

That's the reason it's is called culinary art! For me, eating different food from different areas is like tasting and learning different cultures. I see that you are a chef. Kudos to you for pursuing your dream and passion. Thank you so much for your comment. :)

Oh, this reminds me of the first thing my youngest son said that made me know he was beginning to understand who and what God is. He was almost 4 and we were planting beans, and because we're homeschoolers everything is a learning opportunity, we were talking about the parts of the seed and how it would grow and what it would be. He asked if he could have one and told me that he wanted to take it to Grandma's house and tell her about it. When we got to Grandma's house he explained to her, "God put a whole plant in this for us. It's okay if you don't understand." I love that memory.
