天氣從一兩個星期前的破紀錄90多度回歸正常。出門時,天還陰著,風吹過,涼嗖嗖的。我們去看了附近一個小小的日式園林,又拐進IKEA專程去買了五瓶Lingonberry醬,這醬甜中帶點酸,新鮮,蘸饅頭特別好吃。隨後某人又提議說,這裏離海不遠要不要去走走? Wherever you'd like to take me, 我附和道。

回複 '7grizzly' 的評論 : You are welcome, my friend. If it were not you, I wouldn't know that 冰菜 is simply called ice plant:)) Weekend is coming. Enjoy it!

回複 '7grizzly' 的評論 : You are right, my friend. I must have mistakenly confused myself when I searched online. If we google "ice plant", on the right hand side of the page, it will appear "stone plant", with the description under the picture==" The Aizoaceae, or fig-marigold family, is a large family of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing 135 genera and about 1800 species. They are commonly known as ice plants or carpet weeds."
According to this, ice plant == stone plant. Confusing:))
However if we google "stone plant" alone, the pictures popped up are mostly stone-like rockery plants, different from "ice plant" images.
So it may be safe to call it an ice plant, one of hundred genera.
But I do know what 冰菜 looks like:)) They flower too and seed later. An image from an online supermarket is borrowed below for edible ice plant (冰菜):
A group of us have been ordering from a farm some fresh vegetables in bulk, which are delivered to our city every Sunday. We tried this kind of ice plant once. This kind of ice plant itself has no taste. It is just very crispy, and has to be dipped with a mixed sauce of garlic, vinegar, sauce soy and sugar for flavor.
Thanks, my friend!

回複 '暖冬cool夏' 的評論 : Google also gives "stone plants" when I searched for "ice plant." But stonecrop's images looked quite different from your picture "長在沙地上的植物."

回複 '7grizzly' 的評論 : Hi, my friend. Thanks for your visit and the plant name and stone name. I did not know it is called ice plant until you said here. Actually the one in the picture is called "stone plant" as I googled online. See below:
"the 'Ice Plant' name applies mostly to the larger, herbaceous perennial types and 'Stonecrop' used more for the ground-hugging, rockery types".
Interestingly enough, a few years ago when we hiked on the trail by the sea, we spotted a plant very similar to what I ate (冰菜) at the banquet in China (So I actually know what it looks like:). I tasted it boldly, and it IS the ice plant (冰菜, it is sold at $5-6 per pound here from a Chinese farm), except that it is very salty as it absorbs all the salt from the sand.
Last Saturday, we attempted to find back the ice plant and pick some seeds if possible, but the trail was closed temporarily.
So I learn something from you again, my friends!

Looking at the pictures (they are great as always, BTW), jetty and ice plant came to mind, both learnt in California.

“Wherever you'd like to take me” 艾瑪!暖冬的附和竟然如此令人砰然心動,別說某人,我聽了也小鹿在亂撞的感覺。。。。嗬嗬!在海邊牽著手,聽大歡的帶著憂傷的情歌,暖冬這是要尋找詩和遠方的節奏啊!心情美美噠,難怪暖冬即便沒有好相機在身,用手機還是能拍下如此的海景。。原來是愛在這裏。。。哈哈!
這句海風侵蝕記憶是我的原創,很高興能讓人想起90代的歌詞:) 覺曉節日快樂!
南邊的海岸海灘比北邊更方便一點,有些段也更漂亮。謝謝魏薇臨帖,問候!

裏根的演講真得好,我今天碰巧又聽了一段視頻。我倒是沒有聯想到烏克蘭總統,對烏總統不太了解,但是裏根還是有能力的,南希對他的成功也有推波助瀾的作用。
謝謝淡然,新周快樂!
最近因為烏克蘭的總統頻頻出鏡,自然聯想到也是演員出身的總統裏根。看了一些裏根演講或接受采訪的視頻,很喜歡!我也是不懂政治的,所以暖冬《刺殺裏根》一文正對我口味。又一例成功男人背後有個堅強的女人!謝謝分享!
很高興邊邊也喜歡大歡的歌,最早聽《聽聞遠方有你》跟後來聽他的專輯,我還不知道我喜歡的專輯和《聽聞遠方有你》是同一個人唱的。他其他的歌也很好聽。謝謝邊邊,周中快樂!
大歡的歌好聽,他的那首《聽聞遠方有你》我聽了很多很多回。
上次忘了說了,一號公路的海岸線很長,從南加到北加,不過南邊的沙灘很靠近居住區,很便利,也很漂亮,你有機會來,建議沿著一號公路開。謝謝你的留言,要上班了。
在這四月天
思念踏歌而去
又踏歌而來
祝Oncemm那裏早日春暖花開! (寫不了詩了:))
其實人真的是需要get away from home的,如果待在家裏,一天就有做不完了事,周六去海邊才有了難得的悠閑,周日在家洗洗刷刷又忙了一天的。周日邊上有朋友給了一小袋的桑椹,太好吃了,很新鮮,就想起小小家後院的豐收:) 謝謝小小,讓我們都慢下來享受生活吧!
久到陽光曬幹了鞋襪
久到海風侵蝕了記憶
久到你想的人
漸去漸遠
久到想你的人
踏歌而來
sorry讓暖mm久等了。讀完,腦海裏盡是戴著帽子坐在海風裏任時光靜流的背影。。。
蔚藍的太空,湛藍清澈的海水,還有海邊嬉戲玩耍的小鳥們……,再伴隨著感人的歌聲~~~,好愜意!也非常喜歡這樣悠閑的慢生活:))
你的問題問得好!這種Lingonberry(剛剛查了,中文叫越橘)是專門為IKEA生產的,應該是進口的,我估計一般的店沒有,Amazon上有賣,價格是IKEA的一倍。'IKEA店裏是$4.99一瓶,Amazon上好像是十幾塊,正巧那個小公園離IKEA近,就拐了拐。謝謝燕兒的閱讀,這個周末坐在那裏,是有點心弦被撥動。燕兒新周快樂!
寫得真好!有時候,某個特定時刻,會不經意地撥動你心底溫暖的弦,以至於你想把它永遠地定格。
所以,我願意再加上一句:
久到陽光曬幹了鞋襪,久到海風侵蝕了記憶,久到歲月封塵了人世間的最後一抹光亮。
這麽美的海景,南邊的海灘一個接一個,有機會你要來走走的,估計你連做的時間都沒有,一路看不夠的:)) 謝謝主流,新周快樂!
歌很樸實,想起自己追女孩子那麽難,被百般折磨,怎滴自己的閨女一追就被人就追走了呢?哎。。。真是生不逢時啊!
和地主一起擠擠,正在海邊曬太陽呢,暖冬美好的文字正是我現在的四月心情,冒泡點讚,問候大家!:)
寫手永遠會因為讀者的喜歡和共鳴而更有動力去寫,非常感謝你!
這篇這麽快上了首頁,改不了了,還想增加一些內容,又覺得有點跑題。就這麽著吧。
昨晚朋友送來自家後院結的一小袋桑椹,非常新鮮好吃,就想要是自家院子再大一點多好。你一定要利用加州的陽光,多種點不需要太多打理的植物瓜果。祝你的農場豐收在望,你樂在其中,一年比一年年輕!
