We’re told when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But when life gives you gourds, then what?
I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones. – John Cage

Definitely going to try it out. I love new recipes. Glad you had the gourd. less the gourd and gourd makers. 🙂
How did your new dish taste? Looks yummy 🙂 I like your everyday gyaan.
Thank u for this one,sounds great..a few days back,I visited a friend,sacncheeta,and she had made something exotic with gourds..stuffed them with shredded chicken,and then she had steamed them..sliced thinly and served with salad…it was out of this world…true..always try new things,u never know what u will discover.
What a beautiful way to tell us something! I could never think of something like that. Gourd? its true we are so scared of trying out new ideas. Loved it

An excellent thought Corinne, when you don’t try new things, then you’ve grown old, for age is an attitude of mind.
Great example of life trying to provide you some new insight and instead of balking at it, you make something of it.
I am willing to try but really gourds?! LOL Thanks for sharing such unique info.
What a clever post! I love the quote as well. One of the reasons I started a blog was I wanted to try new things, thanks for the inspiration!
I like trying new things… and honestly I never had a gourd . Guess I should give it a try 🙂
“Ampalaya”….that’s how it’s called in my country ;)… About two months ago, my boyfriend and I were discussing about this as a treatment to diabetes. Anyhow, I like ampalaya…and would love to try out your new recipe…
In truth, I really have many fears… trying out something new is like wading on water far too deep for me and not knowing how to swim….however, God always calls me to the unknown. He allowed me to go to places with different cultures, language, religion, meet and live with people outside my family circle. I tried out different tasks… I’m happy Corrine… learning, relearning new things…:) and unlearning too…
I loved your post. Thanks. It made me reflect a lot.
