Pork Ribs Soup

Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.2 and pork ribs soup seem incompatible. Yet they added to the tranquility of this afternoon, on the first day of 2008. Purely out of my impulse instantly, i chose to play the music chiefly played by Sviatoslac Richter who may be as "cold" as the freezing weather. (Karajan is cool!) The soup flavour pack, melted in the water and pinches of onion, mushroom, garlic, white carrot... gave a warm and rich Chinese herb-like aroma. The encounter of the cold and warm. Will enjoy the soup, my debut in following the famous Malay food receipe. Will cherish these few hours of peace even more... ... cheers.
