Your Song

Been at the top of my playlist for weeks - actually it was the only song I repeated...



It's a little bit funny
this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money
but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where
we both could live

So excuse me forgetting
but these things I do
see I've forgotten if
they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is
what I really mean
yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody,
this is your song
It may be quite simple but
now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
how wonderful life is now you're in the world

If I was a sculptor
but then again no
or a girl who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but
it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and
this one's for you

And you can tell everybody,
this is your song
It may be quite simple but
now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
how wonderful life is now you're in the world

ReC!Pe: Rye Noodle with Smoked Salmon

Another easy-peasy recipe with little over-the-fire cooking except to boil the noodles but can be pretty filling.. suitable as brunch on the go *winks

What You Need:
  • Half packet of Rye Noodle (I used organic; can also be substituted with soba noodles)
  • Smoked salmon (cut into tiny strips)
  • Chives (snipped into thin, shorts strips)
  • Dressing:
    • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
    • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
    • Lemon juice (1-2 slices)
    • Ground black pepper, to taste
What To Do:
  1. Put water to boil and when ready, boil the rye noodles according to instructions on the pack.
  2. Drain noodles and tip them into a large bowl.
  3. Pour the dressing into the bowl, add the smoked salmon and chives. Mix well.
  4. Serve immediately while warm. [I had it after it was cool and it still tasted pretty good☺]
