My name is Angèle I’m a ranger at Virunga National Park

“My name is Angèle, and I have been a ranger in Virunga National Park since 2014. I’m one of 31 women contributing to the Park’s vital conservation efforts.⁠ ⁠ On April 13th, I will run the Paris Marathon to mark Virunga’s centennial, raise awareness of its mission, and raise crucial funds for vital ranger medical care. Seeing the park reach its 100th anniversary is a happy moment, and I’m grateful to have played a part in its continued existence.⁠ ⁠ Leaving a mark matters to me — not just through my physical effort, but by contributing to the support of my fellow rangers. This race isn’t just for me; it’s for all of us.”⁠ via Virunga National Park⁠

With hearts that shimmer bright
And wings that flutter softly
Making magic in the night”

A wise quote from Carl Jung

Found on the blog of my wise and insightful friend who knows a lot about Jung…Lamp Magician.

“I am never bored as my day is full of interesting things connected with my work, or my books. Only people bore me sometimes, but I with myself am never bored. I don’t know what boredom is. If I had no discipline, then I’d be the victim of my moods. Every minute I know what to do and do it with pleasure – I enjoy doing it. “

– ~Carl Jung, Jung My Mother and I, Page 263

Roast cauliflower with harissa pilaf

The baked rice needs a tight foil lid for the steam to cook it, so don’t skimp on the time it takes to seal it properly.

Prep 15 min
Cook 50 min
Serves 4

For the cauliflower
2 red onions, peeled and finely sliced
1 cauliflower (1.1kg), trimmed and cut into 4cm florets
6 tbsp sunflower oil – I like Mr Organic
2½ tsp ground cumin
2½ tsp ground kashmiri chilli
2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp fine sea salt

For the rice
350g basmati rice, unwashed
4 tbsp sunflower oil
4 tbsp rose harissa paste
2cm x 2cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1½ tsp fine sea salt
1 lemon, juiced, to get 3 tbsp
20g mint, leaves picked and finely chopped
20g coriander, leaves and tender stems finely chopped
60g roasted cashews, finely chopped

Heat the oven to 240C (220C fan)/475F/gas 9. In a large baking dish, combine the finely sliced onion and cauliflower, then add the oil, spices and salt, and rub them in to coat everything well. Cover the dish tightly with foil, pressing all around the edges, then put to one side.

Put the rice, oil, harissa, ginger, salt and 700ml just-boiled water in a second large baking dish. Cover this with foil, too, sealing it well and pressing down all around the edges.

Bake both trays for 25 minutes, carefully turning them around once halfway through. Take both trays out of the oven and put the rice tray to one side, with its foil lid intact, and leave to rest. Take the foil off the cauliflower tray and return it to the oven for 10 minutes to crisp up.

After 10 minutes, take the foil off the rice, then tip the cauliflower and onion mixture all over the top. Pour over the lemon juice, sprinkle with the chopped herbs and cashews, and serve warm.

Yasui Sotaro – Lemon and Melon

Yasui Sōtarō (1888–1955) was a prominent Japanese Western-style painter, influential in the development of modern art in Japan during the 20th century. He is well-known for his contributions to the yōga (Western-style) painting movement in Japan, which incorporated Western artistic techniques and perspectives into Japanese art.
