My Sunday 03/20/2022

Hello, everyone! I am back here again. I always rest on Sundays, so it is nice to be back again on this platform.

In this article, I will be doing a lifestyle blog. This is the second time in a row that I make a blog about my Sunday happenings. A lot of fun happened yesterday, and I cannot wait to share it with you guys.

Thank you, sponsors! These people keep me going on writing here. Almost everyday writing is a no joke, so I thank them for motivating me.

Here are my highlights of my Sunday:

Took shots with my macro lenses.

Since I got my macro lens, yesterday was the first time that I really allowed my time to take pictures in our garden. By the way, I made an article about my first macro lens purchase in this link > https://read.cash/@Jijisaur/another-hobby-ef7e5e5c You can find some useful information about these lenses in this link.

Anyway, I and my sister took photos of anything that spark our eyes. It can be a peculiar leaf, ants, budding roses, etc. I really like to achieve a dew falling in a leaf but I guess I need a lot of practice, hehe. We were really amazed at how these lenses can magnify the ants. I can see their antennas clearly through these lenses.

Netflix and Chill: All Of Us Are Dead.

Next, I watch Episode 5 of All Of Us Are Dead. It is a Korean series from Netflix. The story of zombies started in the school. I like how the cinematography and the casting. The way how they present the story is so good. I have never seen a Korean series with bad cinematography. The actors are very good, especially the zombies haha! They twist and turn their bodies like real zombies. Their acting is so real I was scared for a minute. Anyway, I have a few episodes left. Please do not spoil me hahaha!

Cucumber juice and vegetable tempura

We bought some cucumbers in the market for a cheap price. The day is getting hotter and hotter. And so, we decided to buy some cucumbers to turn them into juice. The making of cucumber juice is very easy. In this process, you will be needing a blender.

The first step is to wash with baking soda. Water alone is okay but make sure it is thoroughly washed. After that cut both ends of the cucumber. I prefer to take out the seeds too. Some people prefer to add the seed as long as the blender can break them in a watery consistency. Chop them into little pieces so that they will be evenly blended in the blender. In our case, we add about 20 ml of water ( just so the blender will easily chop the cucumbers), calamansi juice about 15 pieces ( do not include seeds), and then brown sugar about 4 heaping spoons. In this batch, we use 4 medium cucumbers.

And tadaa! Feels like in the resto. It is also very fresh and healthy. (except the sugar, haha!) Cucumbers are known to detoxify and fight bloatedness. It is a very refreshing citrusy drink. We will make another batch because we have some cucumbers left.

Vegetable Tempura

We got this idea from watching a Japanese restaurant on YouTube. The way they cooked their food is so delicious. We are gaya gaya (imitators) so, for our snacks, we decided to cook vegetable tempura.

In our case, we just picked vegetables that are available in our house. We found potato, squash, bell pepper, and eggplant. We just going to cook one of the kinds. We are three people eating so we make sure to slice the vegetables into many pieces.

In cooking, the other ingredients that we used were flour, pepper, salt, water, oil, and tempura breading. First, make a batter to coat the vegetables. Make sure it is coated all over. And then, in a container put the tempura breading and the coated vegetables. Shake the container until the vegetables are coated with tempura breading.

On the other hand, on a pan, put oil and let it be hot until frying temperature. After that, just put the vegetables until they are golden brown. In our case, the coating messed up the moment we put it in the pan hehe. But it is okay because it is still edible.

Final Thoughts

I was so happy and fulfilled yesterday because I did things that I cannot do during weekdays. I am also happy that I have bonded with my family too!

I hope you had a wonderful Sunday, too.

That is it for today. Thank you for reading!
