天气从一两个星期前的破纪录90多度回归正常。出门时,天还阴着,风吹过,凉嗖嗖的。我们去看了附近一个小小的日式园林,又拐进IKEA专程去买了五瓶Lingonberry酱,这酱甜中带点酸,新鲜,蘸馒头特别好吃。随后某人又提议说,这里离海不远要不要去走走? Wherever you'd like to take me, 我附和道。

回复 '7grizzly' 的评论 : You are welcome, my friend. If it were not you, I wouldn't know that 冰菜 is simply called ice plant:)) Weekend is coming. Enjoy it!

回复 '7grizzly' 的评论 : You are right, my friend. I must have mistakenly confused myself when I searched online. If we google "ice plant", on the right hand side of the page, it will appear "stone plant", with the description under the picture==" The Aizoaceae, or fig-marigold family, is a large family of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing 135 genera and about 1800 species. They are commonly known as ice plants or carpet weeds."
According to this, ice plant == stone plant. Confusing:))
However if we google "stone plant" alone, the pictures popped up are mostly stone-like rockery plants, different from "ice plant" images.
So it may be safe to call it an ice plant, one of hundred genera.
But I do know what 冰菜 looks like:)) They flower too and seed later. An image from an online supermarket is borrowed below for edible ice plant (冰菜):
A group of us have been ordering from a farm some fresh vegetables in bulk, which are delivered to our city every Sunday. We tried this kind of ice plant once. This kind of ice plant itself has no taste. It is just very crispy, and has to be dipped with a mixed sauce of garlic, vinegar, sauce soy and sugar for flavor.
Thanks, my friend!

回复 '暖冬cool夏' 的评论 : Google also gives "stone plants" when I searched for "ice plant." But stonecrop's images looked quite different from your picture "长在沙地上的植物."

回复 '7grizzly' 的评论 : Hi, my friend. Thanks for your visit and the plant name and stone name. I did not know it is called ice plant until you said here. Actually the one in the picture is called "stone plant" as I googled online. See below:
"the 'Ice Plant' name applies mostly to the larger, herbaceous perennial types and 'Stonecrop' used more for the ground-hugging, rockery types".
Interestingly enough, a few years ago when we hiked on the trail by the sea, we spotted a plant very similar to what I ate (冰菜) at the banquet in China (So I actually know what it looks like:). I tasted it boldly, and it IS the ice plant (冰菜, it is sold at $5-6 per pound here from a Chinese farm), except that it is very salty as it absorbs all the salt from the sand.
Last Saturday, we attempted to find back the ice plant and pick some seeds if possible, but the trail was closed temporarily.
So I learn something from you again, my friends!

Looking at the pictures (they are great as always, BTW), jetty and ice plant came to mind, both learnt in California.

“Wherever you'd like to take me” 艾玛!暖冬的附和竟然如此令人砰然心动,别说某人,我听了也小鹿在乱撞的感觉。。。。呵呵!在海边牵着手,听大欢的带着忧伤的情歌,暖冬这是要寻找诗和远方的节奏啊!心情美美哒,难怪暖冬即便没有好相机在身,用手机还是能拍下如此的海景。。原来是爱在这里。。。哈哈!
这句海风侵蚀记忆是我的原创,很高兴能让人想起90代的歌词:) 觉晓节日快乐!
南边的海岸海滩比北边更方便一点,有些段也更漂亮。谢谢魏薇临帖,问候!

里根的演讲真得好,我今天碰巧又听了一段视频。我倒是没有联想到乌克兰总统,对乌总统不太了解,但是里根还是有能力的,南希对他的成功也有推波助澜的作用。
谢谢淡然,新周快乐!
最近因为乌克兰的总统频频出镜,自然联想到也是演员出身的总统里根。看了一些里根演讲或接受采访的视频,很喜欢!我也是不懂政治的,所以暖冬《刺杀里根》一文正对我口味。又一例成功男人背后有个坚强的女人!谢谢分享!
很高兴边边也喜欢大欢的歌,最早听《听闻远方有你》跟后来听他的专辑,我还不知道我喜欢的专辑和《听闻远方有你》是同一个人唱的。他其他的歌也很好听。谢谢边边,周中快乐!
大欢的歌好听,他的那首《听闻远方有你》我听了很多很多回。
上次忘了说了,一号公路的海岸线很长,从南加到北加,不过南边的沙滩很靠近居住区,很便利,也很漂亮,你有机会来,建议沿着一号公路开。谢谢你的留言,要上班了。
在这四月天
思念踏歌而去
又踏歌而来
祝Oncemm那里早日春暖花开! (写不了诗了:))
其实人真的是需要get away from home的,如果待在家里,一天就有做不完了事,周六去海边才有了难得的悠闲,周日在家洗洗刷刷又忙了一天的。周日边上有朋友给了一小袋的桑椹,太好吃了,很新鲜,就想起小小家后院的丰收:) 谢谢小小,让我们都慢下来享受生活吧!
久到阳光晒干了鞋袜
久到海风侵蚀了记忆
久到你想的人
渐去渐远
久到想你的人
踏歌而来
sorry让暖mm久等了。读完,脑海里尽是戴着帽子坐在海风里任时光静流的背影。。。
蔚蓝的太空,湛蓝清澈的海水,还有海边嬉戏玩耍的小鸟们……,再伴随着感人的歌声~~~,好惬意!也非常喜欢这样悠闲的慢生活:))
你的问题问得好!这种Lingonberry(刚刚查了,中文叫越橘)是专门为IKEA生产的,应该是进口的,我估计一般的店没有,Amazon上有卖,价格是IKEA的一倍。'IKEA店里是$4.99一瓶,Amazon上好像是十几块,正巧那个小公园离IKEA近,就拐了拐。谢谢燕儿的阅读,这个周末坐在那里,是有点心弦被拨动。燕儿新周快乐!
写得真好!有时候,某个特定时刻,会不经意地拨动你心底温暖的弦,以至于你想把它永远地定格。
所以,我愿意再加上一句:
久到阳光晒干了鞋袜,久到海风侵蚀了记忆,久到岁月封尘了人世间的最后一抹光亮。
这么美的海景,南边的海滩一个接一个,有机会你要来走走的,估计你连做的时间都没有,一路看不够的:)) 谢谢主流,新周快乐!
歌很朴实,想起自己追女孩子那么难,被百般折磨,怎滴自己的闺女一追就被人就追走了呢?哎。。。真是生不逢时啊!
和地主一起挤挤,正在海边晒太阳呢,暖冬美好的文字正是我现在的四月心情,冒泡点赞,问候大家!:)
写手永远会因为读者的喜欢和共鸣而更有动力去写,非常感谢你!
这篇这么快上了首页,改不了了,还想增加一些内容,又觉得有点跑题。就这么着吧。
昨晚朋友送来自家后院结的一小袋桑椹,非常新鲜好吃,就想要是自家院子再大一点多好。你一定要利用加州的阳光,多种点不需要太多打理的植物瓜果。祝你的农场丰收在望,你乐在其中,一年比一年年轻!
