I don't have a green thumb but sometimes I get lucky. I have one houseplant which I've had for about 3 years. Since my cat refuses to leave it alone, the houseplant sits on the top of the fridge. I can't admire it from that height. So, every morning, I take it down from the fridge and place it on my desk. If I am gone for any extended period it goes back up on the fridge. I don't know the name of this plant, but every so often it will bloom. It has two flowers now.
The past week I have been busy putting together a press release for my upcoming show. This week, I need to get the postcards printed and the press release sent out.
What is Natto?
Certain Regions in Japan eat Natto. It is a popular dish for any meal in the Tohoku region where I live. Natto is a fermented soy bean dish. My husband likes to eat it sometimes for breakfast. The Japanese say " neba, neba" to describe the gooey, slimy consistency of natto. It also has a very distinct aroma. To me the smell is a cross between ammonia and rotten meat. I tried a dish that looked like Natto once in a restaurant, and it was pretty good. However, there was no smell and no "neba, neba," so maybe it was something else.
I found an interesting video on youtube that explains natto and how to eat it.

I love beans. I am still looking for that perfect Natto ... something similar to what I tried in the restaurant.

My cat goes after my plant more for entertainment value it seems. To see me jump up! Kitty cat laughter is not discernable to the human ear. Thankfully!
I don't think Natto would be one of my choices..especially with the smell, ammonia/rotten meat..I couldn't get past that smell.
The plant is a peace lily
Jaime, thanks for visiting. My students tell me Natto curry is delicious.
Chris, I will post a pic of the postcard. Good idea.
Rosebud, we seem to have the same luck with plants, which makes it more exciting when one of them lives!
anonymous, thanks for the info on the name of the plant:)
