我是一碗白米饭，当我的饭香从锅里窜( cuàn)出来，飘散出厨房、到客厅，那扑鼻的香味，暂时抚慰(fǔwèi)了从外头回来，饥肠辘辘(jī cháng lù lù)的一家人。热腾腾的白饭端上桌，配上菜肉，充实又满足了他们的一餐。这是我自古以来的任务，我早已跟人们建立起密不可分的关系，我是那么寻常又那么重要，养活一代又一代的人，没有争议。

阿塞拜疆的名菜 Xash，就是以羊头为食材而煮成的，是当地许多男性的最爱。在傍晚时分，主妇把羊头、羊蹄、羊脑、羊肝和大葱置入锅里，加水，熬上12个小时。一整个夜晚，羊头汤腥膻的气息就好像山中薄雾一样，朦朦胧胧地弥漫全屋。到了清晨六点，大功告成，熬成的汤，奶油色的，上面厚厚地浮着一层金黄色的油。这时，主妇便会为丈夫舀上一大碗，加入些许蒜泥和醋，稀里呼噜地喝得满头大汗，满心欢喜，一整天都会变得精神抖擞。他们相信羊头汤能增强骨骼，补充元气，因此，常喝、长喝。    有一回， ( Read more... )

I have always lamented that I could not find good Art schools in Hong Kong and so now that I am back in Singapore. I am determined to let Ashley go for as many Art or craft sessions as she likes.  Lately, I found an Art Studio at Simei which is not big but rather condusive and I like the teacher.  She is very easy going and encouraging, "never mind ( Read more... )

The last leg of our trip was to Niagara Falls.

I remembered he asked to join him for the trip but I chose to go to Tokyo with PL and XY instead. Since he saw Niagara Falls, he had been telling me how nice it was and that he must bring me ( Read more... )
