I lot of you may know that I'm not really a cook . . . Wendell is the cook of the family. So I rely a lot on simple, easy to make stuff. I found this at Marukai. It's a vegetable seasoning. It was on sale for $2.89. The box contained 3 packs.
This bunch of watercress was 4 bucks. Is that not expensive? And look how some of the leaves are yellow. Anyway, Wendell didn't seem to have the patience with me when I asked about it, so I just got it. I trimmed off a little from the bottom of the stalk 'cause it seemed like the right thing to do.
I boiled a pot of water, and threw the watercress in for about 3 to 4 minutes.
It came out perrrrrrfect. I was so pleased!
I small-kine couldn't read the instructions, but looks like I was supposed to add some salt to the boiling water.
Here's the packet.
I just sprinkled it on top of the watercress and mixed it around.
It was really good on the first day, but somehow by the next day the flavor just wasn't the same. I had to add shoyu to it. I still got two packets left too. I think I'll add it to the upcoming prize package giveaway. Hahahaha. Going be soon peoples. The brownie mix should be coming within a few days and Didi already dropped off her cookbooks! Hooo hooo!!
this and that

My mom used to make something like that. I don't think it came in a box tho.
She musta made it from scratch, Erick.
Now that looks yum! Hard to find good watercress up here. Its usually got a lot of yellow leaves too.
Betty, I only recently found out that watercress is not that readily available there . . . maybe it was from you . . . hahaha.
That does look yummy! What does watercress taste like? spinach? ong choy?
Susan, the taste is similar to spinach and ong choy with a little bit of bitterness to it. It has a bit of a crunch to it too.
can I purchase Didi's cook book?
