Now the weather is cooling off.  We are able to restart our vegetable garden.  Amaranth (Chinese name: XianCai) is apparently on my list since Jerry and I both like it as much as we like sweet potato leaves.  So, here is the information on growing amaranth:

If you have any questions on growing or cooking amaranth, please let me know.  – Nancy

October 2nd is the anniversay of uncle’s passing. Many of us are remembering uncle in our own way. I am thinking maybe we can get together sometimes to reminisce and share stories we each have about how uncle has touched our lives in someway, and give the younger generation a chance to know one another better.
