重要的香料 – 檸檬草是不可缺的

Childhood games

在玩Facebook的Likeness測驗, 其中一個是幫小時候喜歡的遊戲排順序, 剛好來了解一下美國小孩是在玩啥, 真感謝有wikipedia, 發現一大堆的遊戲都和我們玩得差不多. (謎之聲, 那為什麼亞洲小孩普遍比美國小孩聰明呢?)

  • Cops and Robbers 軍官抓強盜
  • 不過老實說, 已經忘記怎麼玩了…

  • Hopscotch 跳房子
  • 從來沒玩過, 不知怎麼玩

  • Dodgeball 躲避球
  • 我超痛恨的遊戲, 巴不得先被打到然後在旁邊等大家玩, 那種站在中間等著被人K的滋味還真是狠恐怖, 幸好國小六年沒有體育課的我們只有玩過一兩次吧!

Thanksgiving Dinner with the inlaws

Mike’s parents live in Riverdale, the South-West part of Bronx. Mike’s mom is a fantastic cook; sometimes we’ll go there for an amazing feast. On the day before Thanksgiving, they told us to go there with an empty stomach because they got an 18 pound turkey. OMG, 18 pounds! That’s about 8kg. According to the rule, it’s gonna take 9 hrs to roast that big bird. WOW!!!

On the Thanksgiving Day, I was very happy that Chloe came to her senses and decided not to go to parade, so we slept until noon-ish. After a light lunch, we got word from Riverdale that the bird was ready. What! It was only at 3pm, which meant that they started roasting the turkey at 6am!!!

So let’s cut to the chase. Ladies and gents, our Thanksgiving dinner!

繼上次在Asiate有過良好經驗的brunch之後
就一直想要再回到這位於Mandarin Oriental Hotel 35樓的餐廳
想說Chloe難得來訪
就預約了窗邊的位置來享受一下中央公園秋天的景色

Thomas Keller’s Roast Chicken

Roast Chicken

之前買了兩本Thomas Keller的食譜 – French Laundry和Bouchon, 常常隨手拿來研讀, 光看著圖片, 菜名, 做法之類的就可以讓我興奮半天, Mike還笑我說我找到我每天必讀的聖經了.

Thomas Keller’s Raspberry Napoleon

Raspberry Napoleon

小時後很喜歡吃超群的拿破崙派
酥酥脆脆的 很香很多層的puff pastry加上核桃 真的很好吃
可惜超群倒掉了再也吃不到了

來了美國 很開心發現很多地方都有賣拿破崙派
不過很可惜的 他們都是用很薄很薄的三層puff pastry加上大量的鮮奶油或奶油
吃起來很膩很沒有記憶中的香甜

Fang Fang’s Visit

I met Fangfang in Aspen about 6 years ago. Kinda miss the silly, young but fun living time with her. Time past so fast. I am a married woman (haha) while she’s in a DMA program. Meeting her again in New York reminds me of a lot of things. It’s really nice to see an old friend. =)

Sci Fi是個好頻道

(btw 頻道 真的是這樣寫嗎 怎麼越看越不像…)

以前在台灣沒有很愛很愛很愛看電視
最多就是看看日本頻道流流口水 HBO之類的看電影 找頻道找影集看
亞洲戲劇方面可能就比較喜歡大陸歷史劇 拍的超精細好看不芭樂不拖戲

現在在美國越來越覺得電視真好看
一天到晚很多台在重播的Friends, Sex and the City, Will and Grace, Dharma and Greg, That ’70s Show 一直還在拍的Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty (是的, Betty真的不漂亮可是劇情還蠻好看的), Big Shots, Samantha Who?, Desperate Housewives
哈哈看起來好像我一直都在看ABC channel (btw, 你完全可以在ABC網站上看到所有的影集)
這種影集對我這個外國人來講比較看得懂
那些純正美國人都很愛看得Comedy Central我實在是都看得一知半解

鋼琴夢靨

Practice Piano

小時候念音樂班時很不喜歡練琴
還記得很幼稚班時練琴還練得一把鼻涕一把眼淚 把自己搞得一副很辛酸的樣子

一開始小一時其實是比較喜歡練鋼琴的
原因很爛 因為我很懶 彈鋼琴可以坐著 拉小提琴要站著
但是慢慢的 上了三年級之後出現了恐怖的鋼琴老師們 (幸好我小提琴老師們都很溫柔)
讓我開始非常害怕上鋼琴課
