the plants name is called “makahiya” and hiya in tagalog means “shy”.
whenever you touch the plants leaves, they immediately fold up together looking as if its really shy hence the name.
in bengali they’re called lojjaboti, and lojja means shy!
in Vietnamese they are called thảo mộc nhút nhát, and nhút nhát means shy. Asians are sensible like that!

jennilee: the new TOTOKAELO (my favorite store) is blowing my mind
I went here over the long weekend and picked up some goodies. What a beautiful space, not to mention the incredible merchandising & inventory. This store & its neighbours - Oddfellows, The Elliott Bay Book Company & Molly Moon (the salted caramel! their Earl Grey!) made up my favourite little corner of Seattle.
me too! I’d like to add Free Fry Friday at Pike Street Fish Fry

A Sandwich a Day: The Ninja Deluxe at Katsu Burger in Seattle, WA -
Eating at Katsu Burger requires forgetting whatever advice your mother gave you about not eating anything bigger than your head. The size of the Ninja Deluxe, like the other handful of sandwiches on the menu, dwarfs the noggin of almost everyone, while the flavor is busy blowing minds.
Somewhere in the deep recesses of his great culinary brain, Hajime Sato, respected chef of the sustainable sushi restaurant Mashiko, got the idea to open a burger hut serving up deep-fried meats in buns. (Brilliant, right?)
The Ninja Deluxe pairs the Japanese tonkatsu-style pork (brined, panko-coated and of course, deep-fried) with the Western sandwich-enhancing superstars cheddar cheese and bacon. Forget ketchup or mustard; here you’re getting Japanese mayonnaise and tonkatsu sauce on your bun.
Surprisingly, the multitude of flavors cradled in the oversized burger bun is not as overwhelming as you might imagine. Somewhere in this mountain of Japanese and American excess, there is balance. And that balance is perhaps what allows nearly all eaters to get over the intimidation of the sheer size of the sandwich and finish their lunch. Or maybe it’s because they’re all washing it down with the equally mysteriously delicious kinako shake, an incredible milkshake made with toasted soy flour that tastes like ground up Reese’s peanut butter cups.
Dear Reader,
I tried to only quote part of this article, but to take apart such beautiful ingredients that combine with such grace and earnest belief would be sacrilege. THIS IS EVERYTHING I’VE EVER LOVED IN ONE PLACE. (And I will be at that place in less than a month.)
