My favourite drinks

still water
Water is the best!

You will always find an answer in the sound of water - Zhuangzi (Tchouang Tseu)

I love water,

it is the best drink in the Universe!  Plain and simple, water is also the best beverage to sip on right when wake up, to get the body and brain started, for overall health and well-being...
Well, above all, it is vital, the only one the human body can use, it is about 60% water and must be replenished daily!
  • still water, if possible, low mineralised water (Mineral water, only if I don't have the choice)*
  • boiled filtered water
  • coconut water (only straight from a freshly cut coconut in the tropics)
  • still water flavoured with fruits and vegetables, like Jamie Oliver's suggestions (some of his interesting flavoured water were deleted)
  • organic moringa tea from Cambodia (only loose tea)**
  • thyme and/or rosemary (from the garden) decoction
  • vegetal drinks: oat, soy, rice
  • homemade hot chocolate
  • ginger and/or turmeric decoction
  • organic rooibos tea from South Africa (without tea bags)**
  • chamomile infusion
  • homemade fruit-vegetable juice (60% fruit + 40% vegetables)
  • grass jelly drink (from time to time, too sweet, in the tropics, when it's very hot outside)
... and always with my inseparable reusable, BPA, eco-friendly, sustainable water bottle, for everywhere and in all circumstances!

* try to avoid mineral water as new study finds that nanoplastics in bottled water are even more common than microplastics (100 to 1000 times!); so I stop buying bottled water except if I have no choice

I don't drink tea anymore

** study after study shown that teas contain heavy metals and just one tea bag contains a million of micro plastics!

coconut water
fresh coconut water is the best!

homemade juice
homemade juice is the best too: 60% fruits + 40% vegetables (from the garden)

Sautéed potatoes, Grandma's way

Image
If you don't like potatoes, you cannot be trusted I love starchy food , cereal grains and some root vegetables.  I love potato : air fryer or oven chips, baked, Dauphinoise, curry, mash, roasted, salad,... and of course sautéed, very easy and simple. Potatoes, one of the most versatile vegetables, provide essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins (vitamin C, B6...), and minerals (potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium...). Ingredients 1 tbsp grapeseed or rapseed oil * 2 potatoes, cut into rings each, about 5 mm salt, pepper 1 garlic clove, minced herbs, finely chopped (chives, or parsley or thyme) Preparation Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they begin to brown.  The edges are crispy. Then add pepper, parsley, and stir for a few seconds. *  I'm going to stop using olive oil : first, it is more and more expensive and above all,  olive oil scams  are proliferating if it is not...

Anne-Marie Zilberman masterpieces

Art was an additional emotion applied to skillful technique - Charlie Chaplin The eternal feminine beauty Golden Tears , also known as Freya's Tears' , a famous oil painting with gold leaf, is often attributed to Gustav Klimt but was actually painted by French artist Anne-Marie Zilberman who was influenced by his work. We have little information about her.  We know that after studying Graphic Arts in Paris , she designed advertising posters and then became a stylist (Chakok, Gérard Darel, Kenzo, Galeries Lafayette ...).

She likes to represent soft and nostalgic female figures, the eternal feminine beauty. The magnificent and famous painting Golden tears actually is an inspiration from a mythological goddess, Freya (Njörd's daughter, the god of the wind and sea), the most famous of the Nordic goddesses.  She is the goddes...
