Mommy, do I have have to take a pic with this dude? 媽咪我一定要跟這個人一起照相嗎?

Mommy, do I have have to take a pic with this dude?

媽咪我一定要跟這個人一起照相嗎?

Alright,...fine....

唉呦 好吧 ...

He's so sticky.. wherever I look at he follows

他好黏喔 我看哪他也看哪

Rights been taken away

My pleasure of greening to a new life
A new life that I and my baby created together
A new life that I put effort into and brough it to this world after many hours in the labor room

My together time with my Angle while she was inside my body it had to be under your not fit maternity clothes that I did not ask for it

Because of this, I did not have the oppertunities to get my own maternity clothes and wear it while my baby was inside me

My this part of happiness had been taken away forever, forever
Chemical changed
I will never have a way to reserve it, and to bring it back and redo it in my way

Empty

You took it away
You took it away
you took it away
you took it away
you took it away
away away away

nobody knows how bad I felt and feel

You must know, you have kids, and you are still acting not cool

You are noisy, you are evil, you hurt me, I have no one to talk to about this pain

I hate you

Back off

I do not want to hear you or see you ever
If you ever want to be stupid enough of wondering why
Just ask yourself would you want me/anybody does what did you do to me to you

English is not my first language does not mean I need you to open my door and invite yourself in and plan for me

Why do I need to feel sorry to express my true feeling
Afriad of you'll change your feeling toward me
I am not going to
When it comes to the moms and her babies
Every mom becomes strong
And nobody is allowed to take their rights away

TW style pork chop 炸排骨

經過COOK老師(COOK的開放廚房)指點後的作品

"COOK老師說:

豬排肉想做炸豬排,豬肉處裡是關鍵。豬排若是不厚,那請您用醬油米酒雞蛋和木瓜來醃漬,誠如上次雞肉模式即可。要是太厚了,建議您用刀背稍微把豬排敲扁點,但是別敲扁到不像話。讓他肉質吃的出嚼勁。也是一樣用木瓜和醬油等來醃漬。炸之前外皮沾上地瓜粉,沒有地瓜粉用太白粉,將油開到160度,中火慢炸。熟了後,不用炸酥脆,軟排就很好吃了,若是您有滷肉湯也可以把炸好的豬排泡在裡面,一下子鮮嫩多汁的豬排飯就好了。 "


比已前進步許多外觀比以前好看肉質比以前的軟很多
可是也許是太厚或醃的不夠久或炸太久肉還是有點硬的
這點熊媽還是要請老師指導一下

還有幾個問題
1. 粗的跟細的地瓜粉以及太白粉炸出來各有何不同效果
2.用麵粉炸又會是什麼效果
3.有朋友說用綠豆粉太白粉麵粉全部一起下去煙 炸之前再抹一次老師的看法為何
4.我譬如3-4點就炸好ㄌ 晚餐6-7點要用什麼方法把它加熱較好吃呢

非常謝謝老師不辭教導


Hey, baby, I am done my work here, let's go eat, hungry!!

老師給我的評語

Comments from Chef Cook

1.粗的地瓜粉炸出來顆粒粗.但是口感比較好.也比較香.太白粉和細的地瓜粉顆粒細.但是口感沒有這麼豐富
2.麵粉顆粒更細.效果不言可喻.且炸出來會軟的比較快.我們不建議用.
3.事前用其他粉做內粉.要炸時再沾外粉.只是看起來讓排骨比較大.粉太多.也不見的比較好.請您參酌.
4.炸好的排骨加熱不能用油鍋.因為會黑而且更油.建議用烤箱.或者微波爐均可.
成品炸的不錯.顏色均勻.想當然非常用心.若是口感很好.那麼這個產品就成功了.恭喜您!!

謝謝您對炸排骨這一道菜的指教
看到老師的評語真的很開心
希望您不介意我把您得評語放在這篇我的格中與其他媽媽分享
另外忘了問有一個問題是
為什麼外面的酥皮跟肉老是炸一炸是分開了
是哪裡處理的不對呢
謝謝

對於您的作品和分享,這是大廚的榮幸,也謝謝您對我的肯定。至於外粉會掉有兩個原因,1.可能排骨是熟的,所以不沾粉,這個可能性太小。2.下鍋油溫太低,所以會掉粉,依我判斷,這個可能性最大,解決方式可能就是醃肉的時候要加點麵粉或者太白粉當內粉,這樣在要炸的時候,在沾上外粉如地瓜粉,或者麵包粉就比較不會掉粉了。祝福用餐愉快!!

Mapo Eggplant 麻婆茄子

轉載自COOK的開放廚房


http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/cook-yung/article?mid=155



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.

Decided to make yellow cup cake for the dessert
想ㄌ想決定ㄌ烤黃馬芬小蛋糕來做下午茶的甜點

Although it was raining in the forest today
What do you know
It stopped in the afternoon lovely
The babies woke up
And mommies get to enjoy the treasure little tea time after the raining
Forget about that we need to make dinner
Let's sit down, have a cup of tea and chat
雖然今天森林裏下了大雨
午後雨竟然也可愛的停了

大家先喝杯綠茶坐下來聊天再說


Although the weather is not very pretty
Mommies chatting just started in the little cozy cabin

天氣雖然陰陰的
媽媽的聊天在暖暖的木屋裏才正開始呢

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



紐澤西 1989



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
