ABC


ABC is the name of this dessert we had in Singapore & Malaysia. It is ice and jelly and fruit and black beans. Like so many of the foods in Malaysia, there are things mixed together that just aren't right. But I tried it this time. And i liked the ice and the fruit and ate around the black beans and the jelly. Something this colorful and this cold must be tried. There will be more postings on this trip. More food and more color. I am going to like reliving our trip this way: highlighting the beauty and the unique ways of Malaysian life.

It's been the summer of the river, changing times, with the last one moving on and my mother growing older. She is there on her river, ours now. Ownership is a holy thing. Atticus moved on, too, from Radio Salon. I'm not sure where it's going now. But i am more comfortable with the not knowing.
