What's This Plant?

Rescued one of Mom's plants, but I have no idea what it is. Before I removes the plant from it's pot I saw it was planted in an ugly pot with a bit of soil and rocks! I don't know how it survived.

Anyway, I just assumed it's an orchid. I only watered it once a week because I realized a lot of Mom's plants don't need to be watered often. 

I carefully removed the soil around the stem. It was a bit hard and I was surprised the root had a bulb. It reminded me of zz plants which has rhizomes.

I tried using a plant app and Google Lens to identify the plant. I used different photos and angles, but it always gives different results. Oh well, I hope I did the right thing just putting it in a pot with coco cubes. 

If you know what this plants is, please let me know!

Parmesan Crusted Garlic Cream Cheese Baked Salmon

It's a mouthful to say out loud, but this is one of my favorite baked salmon recipes. I learned it from Chef RV's baked seafood video. My twist is adding parmesan after lathering it with the cream cheese+ mayo mixture.

I have a video of how I make it, but I'm so behind with editing videos, haha.

Coming soon!

Busy Week!

Ugh! I can't wait for the start of Holy Week. We've been so busy the past few days I need a breather. Sometimes I watch our cats and can't help be jealous since all they do all day is sleep, eat, lakwatsa, repeat. They are all so calm, they only get stressed when there are other people visiting or when the intruder comes to raid their food bowls. 

I've also been making sure to spend time in the garden. Aside from watering the plants, I've been trying to re-pot at least one plant everyday. I've made a list of plants to re-pot and that helps keep me from being overwhelmed. Usually Meredith or Grogu accompanies me. They usually sit near me and watch me like they're my supervisor, haha. 

I thought we'd be free tomorrow, but I just remembered we still have a meeting. Zzzzz.

Weekly Pulmo Rehab Grind

I've been trying my best to consistently attend my pulmo rehab sessions. Miggy also goes to the gym twice a week, so I took the opportunity to schedule my sessions when he goes.

I super love my therapists. TBH, I was supposed to continue my knee PT, but I told my doctor I prefer to have my pulmo rehab therapists take care of my exercises. The physiotherapists were really good. It was their reception area that turned me off. I already gave feedback to them through the form and hope they take it constructively. 

Anyway, I always look forward to my sessions. My therapists are fun and they take care of me well. Please help me pray for one of my dear pulmo rehab therapists. He's confined again due to an illness. I'm praying he'll get well soon 🙏

Are Your Ready for the Summer Heat?

We still enjoyed some cool weather last week. It's noticeably warmer now, but there's still a nice breeze in the afternoons. 

Grogu was really enjoying the breeze while we were watering the plants. We didn't have water yesterday until late evening. Good thing I still had water in my rainwater drums for the plants. The direct line to the water connection stuttered for awhile when I used the hose today. 

It made me realize that we really need to prepare for summer and the effects of the ongoing war. Water drums, rechargeable appliances, enough food stock. I remember my parents made sure we had supplies during the tumultuous times in the 80s. 

Keep cool everyone and pray for peace 🙏

Unsettling

All of us has started to feel the effects of the war especially when gasoline prices increased. I'm sure everything else will get more expensive. My maintenance medications will probably get more expensive too.

Scary times! I know we're far away from the war, but we don't really know where it's going. The best thing we can do for now is pray and update our go-bags and home supplies.

Pray for Peace 🙏
