We are at about the same age. I can't believe that you two are so good at managing your life and raising kids. Watching your videos make me feel relax and peaceful and sometimes I even laugh unconsciously. I am a young researcher and always feel anxious. Will you feel anxious occasionally (cause I couldn't feel any of it from your videos)? I am very surprised that how could you people live in this way, peaceful, happy, and fulfilling.
@miriamk.56443 жыл бұрын
That's exactely what I thought and I'm wondering about the same thing. I really like Miriam and Yonghong's lifestyle, everything seems so neat and tranquil, a life centered on the essential. At the same time they are achieving so much. I think that both of them can be really proud of their achievements, be it familywise or in terms of their filmmaking / business. I'm also a young researcher struggling with anxiety and I wonder how Miriam manages her life so well.
@MiriamFollin3 жыл бұрын
I want you to know that both I and Yonghong have anxiety sometimes. I never experienced it until I got pregnant for the first time, so I think it has to do with the responsibility of having children. We are not always happy and at peace, we argue, get tired, and have unproductive nd unfulfilling days too. I just don't share it, I never feel inspired to film when I don't feel good. And I also don't want to put negative content out there - I think there is ebough stress and anxiety in the world. But I guess it's a fine balance, I don't want people to think we are living a perfect life always so peaceful. But I want my videos to be peaceful and relaxing, since it's the kind of feelings I feel worth spreading. If that makes any sense?
@miriamk.56443 жыл бұрын
@@MiriamFollin Thanks for your answer! I really appreciate it. Your answer really does make sense and it is what I assumed. No one is happy all the time and no one is free of anxiety… well, most of us I guess. Still, I think you are a very brave and inspiring lady. It takes quite some courage to settle in a foreign country so far away such as China and it requires even more skills to adapt as well as you did. Very inspiring indeed. I like the message you’re spreading and I always feel happy and relaxed after watching your videos. :-)

To Miriam and Yong Hong, you both deserve to be very successful...so much talents..:):)

Your soup reminded of the time during detox at Thailand when we were given a bowl of soup in the morning. All sorts of wild plants and organic leafy vegetables were blanched and puree to make the soup. To thicken the soup, pumpkin was added and also sacha inchi powder. That was another way to make the soup thick instead of using cream. All the wild vegetables chopped can also be added for extra flavour in a lentil base soup.

It is always great to see you foraging! Ingvar seems very knowledgeable. We have wild leeks or 'ramps' as we call them, around where I live. If you chop them up very fine, or in a food processor, and add butter, it makes a delicious wild leek butter that adds flavour to anything. I often use it in scrambled eggs, and I make lots and store it in the freezer to enjoy later in the year. Your mother-in-law would be proud of you, making baozi Swedish-style! You are so adventurous. By the way, your paintings are lovely. You definitely have the touch of an artist!
