    Sengkuang beans? Maybe they grow from beans when it drops...and their roots become sengkuangs?

    Next week I will visit my sengkuang supplier's farm. He grows a lot of sengkuang. I will ask him about the beans. In fact sengkuang is grown on the ground like sweet potatoes. You actually have a climber there. That is interesting too.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
