Your table looks beautiful indeed. I'm glad you keep nice memories of trying times. Life works in dialectic ways, I guess. I always say the foods you always come back to have some taste of nostalgia. Thank you for a simple and delicious dish, @anggreklestari 🖤🌿
A self-sustaining garden that your family can eat from takes work and care, but it's worth it in the end.
As a child, I never experienced this fear of not knowing what to eat the next day, although my mother did tell us stories of how she and her siblings had gone to bed more than once without supper, as my grandfather was in dangerous political moves against the government in those days and sometimes had to go into hiding for days, leaving my grandmother in a precarious situation that couldn't be resolved at night due to curfews. Long story short, this feeling of fear did come to me in 2016, when a strong economic crisis finally caught up with almost everyone in the country. In the end, I guess not all of us learned the importance of having vegetables and fruits in the garden; not everyone has a garden, truth be told. But I can speak for myself; I try to grow some herbs and fruits; it's not easy to dedicate time to this when you have to work far from home every day, weekends included, and yet I believe it's an effort we all should make.
I grew up in poor family. So I have many things to remember about how we survive through simple food.
No problem. If we felt difficult about life, it will makes us stronger.
Now in my city facing difficult economic issue. With family garden, it help much to create daily food
Hope you and your family keep stronger there 🙂❤️
