One day's breakfast

Waked up in the morning, I feel really happy today. I opened the floor window to let some fresh air come in. After brushed my teeth and washed my face, I went to the kitchen to make some breakfast for myself.

I have brought some soybeans yesterday as I really miss the homemade soymilk by my mother recently. When I was at home, every morning, mother used to make soymilk and some steamed breads or stuffed buns for father and I. I seldom feel thankful to this after I found that I really miss it. Sometimes, we could easily get used to something, then we lose the ability to be thankful as we took it for granted.

Originally, I believe I am a kind of person that is grateful for many things. I could easily be satisfied by little joy in life, for instance, to have some tasty food, to see a beautiful flower, or sunshine coming from windows, to have a whole day to relax, listen to a nice song… However, I have learned that I am grateful as long as I am in good time, when I encountered difficulties or something that I am struggling to do; I lose the feeling of thankfulness. Nevertheless, I have also gradually learned that I should be thankful for everything and be smile no matter what happen and challenges ahead. As when I complain, feeling impatience, careless, losing sign of everything, even god, he will be sad, who want to live with a person has a frown and sighing all days long?

So today, I only want to say thank you to dear god, thank you for the breakfast, thank you for the tea, thank you for giving us place to live, thank you for the garden downstairs, thank you for the beautiful flowers and green grass, thank you for the blue sky…… I also feel thankful to start a new day with this nutritious soymilk.

The method of making soymilk is very simple. Anyone who is interested in it could make this at home. At first, soaked the soybeans overnight, for 1 cup of soybeans comes with 6 to 8 cups of water.

Grind the soaked soybeans and water in a blender. Sieve the mixture and cook in a pot until boiled. Flavored with some maltose or sugar, after cooling, the soymilk is ready and can be kept in the fridge for another 3 days.

 

 

In order not to waste the mixture of soybean, I added some salt, shallot and flour to make it into pancakes.  Then, I start a new day by having these nutritious soymilk and soybeans pancakes. 

I have also cooked some Korean rice for sisters, as well as for the lunch. Although it’s pity that I was too busy in these two days so the meat has expired in fridge, there are only vegetables and eggs. It’s also simple and quick, just fired all the vege and then favored with Korean chili source.
