茄子很多人不喜歡,不過我倒是吃的蠻習慣的.在中菜上他的配色容易(因為紫色的蔬菜可不多),而且可以當主角也可以當配角,所以對茄子的菜色研發很多,今天我們來試試麻婆茄子.
茄子以前有討論過品種等選擇,所以今天我們直接建議各位用台灣名產胭脂茄,要是你用的是青色的新品種茄子,那請你先刮了皮在用^^..
將茄子用滾刀切成塊狀,用網路最大的問題是無法讓各位知道手勢是怎樣,不過若是各位沒試過滾刀塊,那就建議用立切讓茄子成為厚圓形銅錢狀,也沒什麼不好,誰說難看,反正好切就好對不..
鍋內用油,油多一點,到油溫200度後,這時候油的溫度很高,千萬要將茄子慢慢的油鍋邊倒進去炸,然後用煎匙慢慢的將茄子各面炸到,大約10秒後,茄子拿一塊捏捏看,別燙到.若是軟了,就是ok的,趕快撈起來待用.拿起來後用筷子撥開一下,免的茄子聚在一起因為油溫的後熟,使的顏色會變成暗.還有若是你的油溫不夠,茄子炸出來就會是白白的,非常不好看,所以建議大家有點耐心,油溫高一點,油多一點,炸出來的茄子一定好看.
爆香蒜頭,辣椒後將絞肉末放進去炒一下,慢慢的用中火炒一下,把絞肉的油炒出來,在加一點辣豆辦醬用高湯調開,這時放醬油,味精,糖等等調味料,試試味道,然後用太白粉勾一點芡別太濃,好了後關火,再把茄子放進去,小心的撈幾下,用力太多或讓茄子爛爛的,在放入蔥花和麻油進去,就是一到好菜了.
其實川菜用了很多花椒來爆油炒菜,但是我始終吃不慣,所以就沒放,不過若是你有放花椒爆油的,可千萬把花椒撈起來,否則花椒吃起來苦苦的,讓你的辛苦就白費了.

Senior-friendly 老年人友善地

We see/have kids friendly restaurants/places
Do we see/have senior friendly restaurants/places?
I don't see many. Have you?
Why is that?
Is that because babies/kids are more beautiful/attractive?
Is that because babies/kids are more good looking?
Is that we see our happy memories from babies/kids when we see them?
Is that because it is easier to deal with babies/kids?
Is that because it is easier to give them "lectures"(from our tempers)?
Try to image all the babies/kids are senior people.
Senior people drop the ice cream all over on the carpet.
Senior people sneese on your face without worrying manners.
Senior people talk/scream loudly in the public or maybe next to your table.
Too much expectation from us toward certain things.
We grow up, we thought we understand the "process" of growing up, we thought we understand babies/kids behaviors.
What would you do when a babies/kids go very cranky/scream/moody with you for hours?
You don't understand them that much.
There are many beautiful things.
Do we select the images that we like/prefer to see? selectly isolate to the images we don't feel like
Talk a little too far
Granted, kids friendly places are not really kids friendly anyway
Our evironment is not that kids friendly.
You go to Krung Thai ask for changing board, you are free to get a language punch on your face from the owner lady says I don't need your business, you don't need to come here if you don't feel like.
Our evironment is probably not that seniors-friendly either.
Just some thoughts.

A gray dark day, 1989 陰天, 1989

我張開眼天空灰灰的
就像在沉寂的陰天裡
你看到天使有點憂鬱無精打采的
我跟平常一樣每新的一天都期待著媽媽好起來

安靜

爸爸跟我們說媽媽走了 昨晚

安靜

那天我們都穿戴整齊
是媽媽的葬禮
雨下的好大
媽說我一直都想看到你們長大
跟我說好好照顧弟弟妹妹

現在我跟我自己講話
全世界是下雨聲 安靜的畫面 和我自己的聲音
媽我知道您聽得到

媽

紐澤西 1989 冬


I woke up
The sky was a little gray
But very heavy
Even angles can not cheer up in the big gray dark day
Everyday I was hoping mom will be getting better and the evil sickness will be gone

Silent

Mom, dad told us you were gone, last night

Silent

We all dressed nicely on that day
It was mom’s funeral
It was raining cats and dogs
Mom told me that she had been always wanted to see us grow up
Told me to take good care of brother and sister

Talking to myself now
The whole world there were just the raining sound, silent vision and my own voice reamained
But I know mom can hear me

Mom

New Jersey, 1989 Winter

August 16, 2007 Morning

I drove as fast as I can that I just wanted to go home to see you
I know it was just a tiny little thing
It hurted though
On my way home, I was about to cry, well, wet in my eyes
Then I questioned myself why I would I have such thought?
It would not be too cute to cry that I have a little girl now
Tough is the thing you need, mom
But I can still be a little girl in your arms, I know my baby would not mind, I don't need to be tough there

Driving home..

Keep driving, I will see my baby and I know that it is a safe place and I wanna go there

everyday's life is in house work
and house work
and house work only
where am i??

紐約 04年 New York 2004

Picture took in Central Park, New York

You brought me to New York that year

I took this picture right before we got on the horse ride

It was very cold and a little raining

But was very romantic

I am in the beautiful Central Park, New York

Like a lot of love story movies' scene

With you next by me

Sometimes I get lost in your eyes

When I look at those deep amber eyes, brown eye lashes, hair, the white skin..

It was from far far Europe, maybe a small town in Germany

And a tropica fish (Taiwan)

A happy tropica fish in Rhine
