How often do you eat beans?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 2 Jun

Eating plenty of beans is highly recommended! They’re true nutritional powerhouses, packed with plant-based protein, complex carbs, and fiber that are great for your heart, blood sugar, and weight management. That's why I try to...

What are your must-have condiments?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 31 May

Sriracha is my absolute go-to condiment! I put it on almost everything—using it as a dip for my fries instead of ketchup or mayonnaise, and stirring it into my spring roll sauce, dumplings, noodles, and even noodle soups. It's a...

Do you prefer to eat at a buffet or a regular restaurant?"

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 31 May

Normally, I'd rather go to a regular restaurant, but yesterday our friends invited us to try an Indian buffet. We went to a fantastic, budget-friendly vegetarian spot inside a Hindu temple here in Lisbon. Run by the Hindu...

Red rice sushi? Why not!

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 30 May

For my second sushi experiment, I swapped white rice for whole-grain red rice. It required a bit of adjusting—the red rice needed more water and a longer cooking time to get that perfect sushi consistency.Since the texture is...

Will this insect act like a mosquito?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 30 May

Will this insect act like a mosquito? I was shocked to find one on my bathroom ceiling earlier this morning. Looking closely at its shape, I realized it looks exactly like a giant mosquito—about 10 times the normal size! Do you...

How do you keep your kitchen clean while cooking?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 30 May

To be honest, this is definitely a weak spot for me! My husband always jokes whenever he walks in on me mid-meal. He’ll find a sink overflowing with dirty bowls, spoons, and pots. The counter is usually buried under vegetable...

Should I laugh or feel bad for him right now?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 25 May

Long before meeting my husband, I was with a boyfriend I nearly married. He was my entire world, and I truly believed I was theirs. But after seven years together, he abruptly broke up with me and married someone else. It left me...

Have you ever made your own sushi?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 25 May

I decided to give it a try for dinner last night. I was so nervous at first, especially when preparing the rice! I rinsed it several times and cooked it on low heat until it was perfect for shaping. We had a lot of ripe avocados...

Can you eat confidently with your hands?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 25 May

It was my turn to pick a place for us to eat out, so I decided on a nearby Indian spot. Run by a local temple, they serve delicious vegetarian meals. Interestingly, everything was served without spoons or forks. Before we ate, we...

Do you always practice mindful eating?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 23 May

We watched a movie on TV last night and I made some homemade popcorn and cookies to munch on. Unfortunately, we finished all the food before the movie was even half over. I guess we were snacking without really paying attention....

Do you want to be a centenarian?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 22 May

My neighbor's father passed away three days ago at the age of 104 (so, he was a centenarian). She told me he was in such good health that he simply passed away in his sleep. He was obsessed with longevity and actively tried to...

Have you ever skipped dinner after eating too much at lunch?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 16 May

My husband and I ate out at a Mexican restaurant for our lunch today. We ordered quite a lot of food. I can remember I ate too much quesadilla and the burritos that we ordered were big. After that I felt so full. It's almost the...

Is it shooting or flowering?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 15 May

It was last spring when I bought a mango tree from a nearby plant nursery, and planted it in my backyard. At first, it lost a lot of its leaves. However in the last 2 or three month, my mango tree seemed to be able to survive. It...

I bought a tiny purple basil plant 2 months ago, just for being curious. I planted it directly on my backyard. It thrives. I have no idea how this kind of basil wil effect the taste of my food later. I'm thinking about making...

How often do you wash your broom?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 8 May

Well, we should clean our broom after using it as we don't want to push dirt around with the dirty broom. I wash mine once a month. I usually soak my broom in hot, soapy water to remove dust, hair, and bacteria from the bristles...

Always peel the apple

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 18 Aug 23

My friend's mother sternly said to me to always peel the apple before I eat it. And my friend supported what her mom had said. Apple skin contains pesticide as what they believe. But I don't know which one is right. I personally...

Poor thing. It has been 3 days this homeless guy sleeping in front my apartment. I gave him some food once in the first day when I first saw him sleeping there. My neighbors told me not to give him any food as he would never want...

Shasha @Shasha_ (1333) • Porto, Portugal 7 Aug 23

Wow. Many people are expressing their hobbies differently nowadays. One of them is a Japanese man. In a news that I read today, a Japanese man transformed himself into an animal as a way to express his hobby. So, he purchased a...
