Basil Herbs with a Reward

I remembered few weeks back when I bought my basil herb. We were at Tagaytay market, stopped by the garden merchandise, and thought of buying the sweet fragrant leafy thing. It is about 6 inches tall, planted on a black plastic garden bag. The man handed it to me, I stared at it wondered where and when to use it. I have a slight idea that it is used in a classy cuisine, still have no idea on the first hand. Knowing that I could Google it, I bought it for P25, not so much of a great loss.

I came home at my house in Laguna, excited but tired, made a great look at the plant. Pierced a couple of leaf to smell its fragrance and held a few between my teeth. It taste a litte minty and bit hot on the tongue that might be good to mix with chicken or pork, I thought.

There are about five leaves hanging on my basil, I feel guilty of using them. Why not plant few stems and it might multiply? Hurried off and took pots from my garden and cut few stems, load and tap it with soil. I watered it right away to moisten.

Oh my, few weeks past, it grew bursting with leaves leaving no space for my flowering plants. The air smells so good with basil fragrance floating around my sala. It is quite rewarding with less expense indeed. I might as well try few other type and other herbs in my journey with my green thumb.

Sentiments with your Vegetables and Plates

Few weeks ago, I began to register for a Facebook account since quite curious on how it works in real-time tracking friends' activities. To my surprise, it really changed the way friends crowded to one place with their picture hanging around. I did not realize that I was so, should I say, late-bloomer on this. Pop-ups had never played a hard time on me searching for somebody else. It appears on to your browser and suggests to whom you might want to link your profile. EASY!!!

Here comes the WALL thing, giving you a chance to express your moment of sentiment. You can say what you want and even say what you feel and be heard all over the web world. It does free self publishing at the very front of your eyes. Your friends might as well comment on it, but not a bright idea to express your feelings on someone and otherwise, jealousy and anger comes in.

Farm Town, a great place to live virtually. You can plant few crops at the start of the game and eventually grows to a full blown vegetable farm. Though I'm playing it for the past few days now and getting the peak of agitation, I started to get bored. I do admit that in reality, it is my dream place to live in as soon as I start to dye my hair black. I definitely enjoyed this game given that I have a green thumb.

Restaurant City, a place where people can manage their food business. You could virtually engage in a restaurant business without drawing any cent out from your own pocket. Need to hire? No problem with that, just click few friends on the list and be the master of your long lost friend or even your boss and assign them to be a cook, a cleaner and waiter where you could kick them out anytime. This is a perfect opportunity for you to be your own boss. Find few vegetables and other food ingredients to learn few starter or main dishes. It is a great fun to play when you need burning your time out.

I haven't yet tried some few potential games, but it would be pretty soon....
