露西的啤酒冰棒Lucy’s beersicles

‘若非現在,更待何時?’‘If not now,then when?’
清晨6點寮國的山城龍坡邦,我和一位優雅的加拿大旅人,

坐在露天小攤的紅色塑膠椅上喝咖啡.這位剛認識的的加拿大女士,Lucy露西如此信心滿滿地告訴我.清晨的早市,空氣中飄散著瓜果蔬菜夾雜雞鴨生鮮的氣味!所有的商品都攤在市場的地上,

有點雜亂和邋遢,但卻是活生生的不造作生活.

這位剛認識的的加拿大女士告訴我,5年前結束了30年漫長的婚姻生活,
在茫然悲傷中決定離開加拿大,開始她新的人生章節..

‘出發很難.離開會令你既恐懼又孤獨.’露西說著

‘你可能會花上一半的時間質疑自己,到底在幹嘛?

或是半夜裡聽到你那哼著歌撥著弦心底的夢,你那該死的直覺會引領你到的任何地方...

到底要幹嘛呀?

有時你會經歷某些毫無意義,令人洩氣的日子,有時又歡喜雀躍,意志高揚!

但這段歷程會美的難以言喻,會徹底衝擊你的人生.

飛吧!那會開闊你的人生~’

‘If not now,then when?’said the cheerful,
elegant looking Canadian lady I had run into 

at six in the morning at the morning market 
in the Luang Prabang at Laos.

We were drinking coffee at an outdoor table 
in the reek of fish & meat & some 
unbelievable fresh vege & fruits merchants,
beside a group of croaking frogs in a 
gilded cage.

‘The first step is always the hardest!Leave everything behind & set off could 
make you scared to death & lonely!'

Lucy,the Canadian lady who is aged 65,told me just before leaving Canada 5 years ago,

she had come to the end of long marriage,& she had to leave,when she did not need to 
concentrate on the task,in a state of 
dazed grief.

‘but the journey will blow your mind off completely,and the beauty on the roads 
is beyond the words!’

‘你得試試這個!’露西向一個推攤車纏著頭巾的老婦招手.指著攤車上大型保利龍盒裡色彩鮮艷的冰棒,

要了一堆,再塞了幾張鈔票給老婦,我瞥見那是5張1000kip的鈔票,折合台幣不到20元!

‘還真他#的涼爽啊~’

‘以前夏天的時候,我都會做一大堆彩色的啤酒冰棒!嗯~~~啤酒冰棒!’

‘啤酒冰棒?’

‘嗯.....啤酒冰棒!成人版的夏日甜點~’

‘食譜?比例?’

’沒食譜,沒比例啦!就跟著你的感覺走吧!’

An old woman pushed past with a cart full of bagged long-stripe of pink & purple popsicles,

Lucy called her over.’Try one of these,’She said.’Damn good!’

They were fruity popsicles.’I used to make loads of colourful beersiclies during summer times!’

Lucy told me
‘Beersicles??’
’Ooooooooooo~Beersicles!One of my favorite summer dessert recipes!’

Alright,No Recipes,just a fun for whatever you want to drink,lick or bite..
