While I was ...

While I was a butterfly
you adored me
You called me beautiful
I was free to float around in your garden
to polinate your flowers and trees
You did not hate me then

Then I died and came back
as a caterpillar
I was young and hungry
I was voracious because of hunger
You took your fears and temper out on me
You squashed me , sprayed me ,
dusted me in shame

Now I do not come back
as either a butterfly or caterpillar
but a man ,
how do you treat me ?

Vegan noodles : Part one ; Wei Lih instant noodles with Onion flavour

The way I prepare these delicious noodles is ; I open the packet and season the bowl with all of the oil condiment and half the dry powder condiment , I add a dash of sesame oil , two desert spoons of peanut oil , three desert spoons of vegetable oil , spring onion , coriander and a fork full of preserved cabbage . You may choose the preserved cabbage you like or try Chinese preserved vegetable or try Sauerkraut . I boil water and add the dry noodle cake . I cook the underside half of the noodle and leave the upper side half crunchy . I put the noodles and some of the water in the bowl and stir a little bit and eat . Wei Lih is made in Taiwan .
