Apple Lemon Enzyme

This recipe is simple, Just two Green Apple, 5 Yellow Lemon and 1kg (700ml) of honey.  Keep for 45 days, and you will get a smooth and sweet enzyme.  I was very excited on my first enzyme, which was the Dragon Fruit Enzyme, and waiting for it to mature was really excruciating.  And so, we started to make more enzyme, mainly to ensure we are not short of them since we consume quite a lot on daily basis.  We decided to make the Apple Lemon Enzyme again as the ones that my wife’s mom made was super delicious, and only took us 2 weeks to finish up the entire liter of it.

Making the Apple Lemon Enzyme was dead simple, just 3 ingredients, and loads of time, and you will have a very smooth and sweet Enzyme.  Before making you will have to ensure that everything is dry, including your hands and utensils.  This is to avoid contamination that would lead to fungus or molds, which I have read to be bad.  Cut the Apples up, my mother inlaw cut them up into 4 pieces per apple, we just slice them up.  Then Slice up the lemons.  Layer the lemons and apples into the bottle and pour in the honey.  I am not sure why honeys are sold in kilograms or grams as they are liquid, nevertheless, a scan across the supermarket counter on all the honey sold there, they are all in grams.  For this batch, we are making two bottles, one with a cheap honey, and another with a more expensive honey.  Both honey taste different, and we are eager to taste the outcome in 45 days time. 




The Tank Man of Tiananmen Square

Tiananmen Square, 20 years ago, students revolt against the China Communist Government.   I was too small to remember anything, but one picture that has always stuck in my head or associated with Tiananmen Square 1989 protest were the ‘Tank Man’.  One guy standing in front of the tank fearlessly.  I’ve learnt today that this guy’s identity is unknown and till today, no one know what happen to him nor what he is doing now.  I have thought the photo of the Man vs Machine to be somewhat inspirational.  At one part, the machine holds enough firepower to blow the guy into pieces of melon squash on a concrete floor.  At the other, the bravery the man display, the David vs Goliath, the hobbit vs Sauron, and this is the inspirational part.

Often in the mundane working like, one less encounter such bravery.  One less encounter where one need to put one’s life at risk for one’s believe.  And hence, one gets lost in living life itself.  Actions like the Tank Man, brings inspiration into the mundane life.  Reminds one self that life, is what we make of it, and we must dare to grab life by the throat and choke every ounce of breath out.  Take more risk, be brave to face to storm, be fearless to stand your ground.
