Vincent是小學一年級的學生了,我儘可能抽出時間來和他一起培養良好的學習習慣,哪怕有時真的是做做樣子。我說,Vincent,我們來讀一下課文,然後你背誦一下給爸爸聽;我原以為這會花很多時間,可是他只讀了一遍就說,爸爸我會背了。我笑了,估計他在開玩笑,以為我不會測試他。我就說,好啊,這麼厲害啊,那你背一下給我聽聽。沒想到三下五除二,他居然很流利的把課文背下來了,雖然也就8個左右的短句,但是我好像也沒有這麼好的記憶啊。看來小孩子的記憶是比大人強啊哈哈!所以我有時也真不知道讓他複習預習什麼。好吧,我說,那你就看會書,然後玩吧。我有時總是計劃的很好,想多給他安排點什麼,但是小孩子的天性就是玩,我有時真不忍心讓他去做那些枯燥的算術題,讀那些無聊的拼音,但是現在家長都說不能讓孩子輸在起跑線上啊?真的有那麼嚴重嗎?
老百姓中流傳著一句話:大暑老鴨勝補藥。意指鴨子性偏涼,是適宜在暑熱夾溼的夏季尤其是一年中高溫集中的大暑時段食用的滋陰食品。殊不知,秋老虎煞是厲害的秋季,也同樣需要老鴨湯來給身體潤一潤。秋燥有三個階段:秋前燥、秋中燥和秋後燥。秋前及秋中燥以潤燥清補為主,秋後燥則以禦寒滋補為主。所以,現在這個時候,還是以適當吃點老鴨肉,尤其是那些體內有熱、易上火,發低熱、體質虛弱、食慾不振、大便乾燥和水腫的人,吃些老鴨可以為秋季滋陰潤燥做準備。但為什麼是老鴨而不是嫩鴨呢?中醫專家說,從中醫功效和營養成分的大方向來講其實並沒有太大區別,只是烹飪食材上的講究而已,舉了個通俗易懂的例子:就像人一樣,過了青春期已成熟的和尚處於發育期的是同一道理,已成熟的人五臟六腑功能處於最佳狀態。鴨子也一樣,老鴨比起嫩鴨,無論從從哪方面看都更滋補。
前幾天,我媽媽託人從鄉下買了一隻木鴕老鴨,我們又叫“木圖”鴨,這種鴨子看上去呆頭呆腦,所以把它叫木圖鴨,木圖在吳方言裡是傻瓜的意思。在城市裡是不可能買到這麼好的鴨子的,因為養殖場裡出來的,味道都不好。那這隻老鴨怎麼做好呢?老鴨煲?家裡人不怎麼喜歡。鴨子還是紅燒最好吃。那麼怎麼對付一隻老鴨呢?怎麼做鴨子的肉才不柴呢?先看做法,我再總結。
原料:老鴨(我買的有6斤重)
調料:生薑 桂皮 八角 生抽 老抽 山楂 紅棗 冰糖
做法:
1.老鴨宰殺後先用清水浸泡了1個小時,水裡滴了幾滴醋;
2.把鴨子剁成塊後沖洗乾淨;
3.水燒開後加入鴨肉焯水;
4.把鴨肉拿出清洗,鍋裡水倒掉;
5.熱鍋後加入橄欖油;
6.放入鴨肉翻炒,因為鴨肉很多整整一鍋 ,要慢慢翻炒;
7.看到鴨皮裡有油流出,鴨肉稍微有點變色後加入生抽和老抽;
8.繼續翻炒到每一塊鴨肉都上色;
9.加入料酒;
10.加入桂皮;
11.加入生薑;
12.加入八角;
13.轉移到高壓鍋,因為用普通鍋子容量不夠,後面要加水;
14.加水快要沒過鴨肉,加入幾片山楂;
15.加入幾顆紅棗;
16.高壓鍋蓋子蓋上,但不是轉緊,就是把高壓鍋當作普通鍋子來用,大火煮開後改小火燉一個半小時,然後加入冰糖再煮10分鐘左右就可以了;
和普通鴨肉相比木圖鴨的肉質要看去有點沙質感有點粗糙,
但絕對比普通的鴨子味道香啊!
讓老鴨鮮嫩的絕招:
1.清洗好的老鴨最好是放在清水裡先浸泡一個小時,在水裡滴幾滴醋,這樣也可以讓煮好的鴨子變嫩;
2.做老鴨一定要文火燉,先是大火煮開,然後一定要改小火慢慢燉,如果大火燉,燒出來的肉還是很老,很硬的。
3.老鴨有羶味,所以除了焯水,加料酒和生薑外,我推薦紅棗,紅棗不但能給鴨肉增加營養,同時最主要還是它能吸附鴨肉的羶味,真是一舉兩得。
4.在《本草綱木》中有“煮老雞硬肉,入山楂數顆即易爛,則其消肉積之功,蓋可推矣”。所以煮硬的肉,加入幾片山楂是很好的做法,山楂性味酸、甘、溫,有消食健胃、活血化淤的。注意加幾片就可以了,加得太多,總會影響口感的吧。
5.做紅燒鴨,生抽和老抽自然少不了,但是最後的冰糖也是必不可少,冰糖能給肉上色,讓肉更發亮,顏色看上去更誘人,而且絲毫不會讓你有甜甜的感覺,反因為適量的糖能給菜提鮮。
6.因為我做了滿滿一大鍋鴨肉,所以普通鍋子里根本放不下,所以一開始煸炒的時候在普通鍋裡進行,後來我移到高壓鍋,但只是把高壓鍋當作普通鍋子來用的,而且高壓鍋是的形狀讓鴨肉在裡面很密封,這樣慢慢燉出來的鴨子味道就是好。
學習英語:散文欣賞-如果我今天死去 If IDied
"If I died today, how would I feelabout my life?"Life is fragile.
“如果我今天死去,我將如何看待自己的一生?”——生命是極其脆弱的。
A good friend of mine called metoday and shared that his girlfriend's brother passed away lastnight. He was married, with two young children. He died of amassive heart attack in the middle of the night. And he was only 44years old.
就在今天,一位好友給我打了電話。他告知我,就在昨天晚上他女朋友的哥哥離開了人世。他已經結了婚,並且有了兩個孩子。就在昨晚半夜的時候,心臟病奪走了他的生命。他才剛滿44歲!
"It could never happen to me," wethink. "I'm too young to die." But how young is "too young todie?"我們總會想:“這樣的事情絕對不會發生在我的身上,我現在還很年輕,我還不能死去。”可是,要多年輕呢?
We really don't know how many daysor years we will live. An accident, such as by plane, automobile,or other mishap could claim our life. Or perhaps, an unusualillness. Or a vital organ could fail.
生命還將繼續多久,我們無從知曉。空難、車禍、不治之症、身體器官出現嚴重問題……任何的不測都可能奪走我們的生命。
So what would we say, if our lifewere to end today? Would we be satisfied? Would we know that we hadlived our life fully, on purpose? Could we feel we "did itright"?
那麼,如果今天生命就走到了盡頭,我們會對自己說些什麼呢?我很滿足?我的生活過得很充實,很有意義?我這樣做是正確的?
It is a hard question to answer. Irecently had a cousin pass away from cancer. I don't know how shewould have answered this question. But I'm 99% positive she wasn't"ready" to go. Not with two little ones and a loving husband and somuch life ahead of her (she was 35 years old).
這是一個很難回答的問題。就在不久前,癌症奪走了我堂姐年輕的生命。我不知道那一個時刻她是怎麼回答這個問題的。但是,我絕對相信,她不想走,不想離開。她有兩個孩子,她有一個很愛很愛她的丈夫,還有很多的美好在等著她,然而……(她才35歲而已)。
If we live our life completelyevery day, we still may not be thrilled with the thought ofdeath.
即使我們每天都過得很充實,過得很圓滿,當想到死亡的時候也絕不可能會激動不已。
Are there things we can be doingbetter? Are there people we can love better? Can we live ouraspirations, today? If we know the answer, what are we waiting forto make us do it? Death? Life is fragile. Now is the time to livefully and bless those friends and family who grace us with theirlove.
還有我們能做得更好的事情嗎?還有需要我們用愛去呵護的人嗎?能實現自己的報復嗎?如果知道答案,那還等什麼?努力去做便可!死亡?生命是脆弱的。現在,就讓我們認真的活著,為那些給予我們愛的親人和朋友祈福,願他們健康長壽!
