我和翁翁美女不得不说的故事

好吧, 我承认我是标题党。
其实是翁美女要在回国奔老公之前来芝城办些手续, 因为办得实在是顺利。 事毕我们车把一拐就到ChinaTown 填肚子去了。
翁美女执意要请客,吃完了我说: 谢谢你请Lunch。
美女杏眼一翻:谢个P啊~~ (重音落在P上)
啊~呀!她还真霹雳, 我颤颤巍巍的说: 你长得那么漂亮,怎么可以这么不斯文?~
美女杏眼又一翻, 很不屑道 : 切~耶! (耶音短促有力)
那一刻,我彻底被她打败。
第二天,我们又到一家泰国菜馆填肚子。
我以买什么都没买单气派为由把单子付了。
翁美女很内疚的说: 谢谢啦~
不知道她为什么内疚,来芝城我做东势力所当然的嘛, 然后气运丹田说: 谢个P呀~ (P, 爆破音)
好在周围没人听懂中文, 我们放肆的笑。

唉, 这么粗鲁也是因为关系真的好, 要不大家都宾着做假淑女呐。
也知道,年龄一轮一轮的涨, 身份一层一层的变, 我们以后能再肆无忌惮玩闹的机会越来越少。连下一次能再见面的时间都说不准了, 充满形式感的可客气是可耻的。
所以我说: 下次回国,我吃定你了, 我吃到你哭, 吃到你主动给我买返程机票。
所以翁美女笑意盈盈语调鉴定的答道: 好, 我不怕,你来吧。


翁翁一路顺风~

神奇的小王(24)

副标题: 厨房里没有虚度的光阴之向吃吃不倦的小王致敬


这是很喧宾夺主的一道菜, 其实重点是炒红萝卜,结果红萝卜怎么看怎么像陪衬。 自打知道萝卜是脂溶性,也就是说只有和油脂炒/炖 营养价值才能体现,便不再生啃红萝卜了, 并认为生啃红萝卜的人都好没文化呦 =) 虽然baby carrots 嘎嘣脆, 我也要把它给做了才吃。嘿嘿



啤酒鸡翅, 炖的。 要不是冲着米城那两桶MGD 我也懒的费时费火的炖鸡翅, 但是味道实在是太赞了, 你以为米城的啤酒是浪得虚名的吗? NO也!
做法和普通炖鸡翅无异, 只是用啤酒取代水, 省了料酒就是。不难。


每当我馋到坐立不安的时候, 就是鹵猪蹄儿的时候, 放冰糖颜色会更鲜亮。我这次不但放了冰糖,并且用可乐代替了水。 本来也不为减肥, 这点小事不值得顾忌。 甩开腮帮。。吃!



清炒白萝卜, 哈哈, 俺爹地说‘冬吃萝卜夏吃姜,不劳医生开药方’; 俺爹地还说了 ‘萝卜配热茶, 医生满地爬’。我特爱这种充满人民智慧的顺口溜,并坚定不移的身体力行。 白萝卜擦丝,热油翻炒,加盐,撒葱,完事儿。 这个颜色酱酱是我把昨天做的鸡翅给和进去了一支。 这道菜的成本 $0.7 您信吗?

蒜蓉青菜, 实在太简单了, 我要说的是这道菜成本$ 0.45。 您敢相信吗? 我只是想说, 做菜其实很简单, 也很省钱, 关键是比吃TV Dinner 要健康好多。 畏惧厨房的姑娘要学着亲近厨房了。 林志玲版机器猫, 不要四处张望, 我就是在说你咧~~
翁翁美女,你已经很久都没有表扬我了~~

神奇的小王 (23)

副标题: 厨房里没有虚度的光阴

最近总是饿, 便开始不忌口的吃,做饭速度之快,根本来不及写下来。
经济这么萧条的情况下, 实在没有比美食更精准的High 点了。


第一次做正宗的意大利菜, 味道很不错但是不推荐, 因为。。。俺。。。放了一磅半的cheese 在里面。。。还有高能高热的松子也在里面。 如果您不像我这般没心没肺,放开胆子不管不顾的吃, 或是不像疯子那样发誓在treadmill 上跑到虚脱,请远离。


西红柿炒鸡蛋, 这个技术含量太低, 我都不好意思写。 放在这里是因为, 唉~~本来是要做成西红柿鸡蛋面条汤的, 结果。。由于惯性还是给炒了,面条无处可去, 很多余的挤在旁边。 味道竟然很好, 日本的芥面, 口感有些粗燥也有些别致, 吃的时候撒香油葱末是关键。


向四川人民致敬 的棒棒鸡, 要说吃,我最爱戴四川银。这个棒棒鸡是凉菜中的经典, 超简单的制作,超清爽的口味。 就是鸡胸肉放姜片煮熟, 放入保鲜袋用擀面杖敲散, 按自家口味跳入料就好了。 我调的是酱油,香油,香辣油,葱末,姜末,蒜末,加醋。 顺便提一句,做鸡肉餐,怎样都不要少了姜, 不过有厨房经验的应该早就都知道了的吧。


三色彩椒炒鸡丝。 唉~~我没骗人, 只不过那个桔黄色和黄色比较难分辨, 本来是要用绿色的, 结果绿色的没减价。 不好意思, 俺很caculating 的, 所有的菜都是控制在$3 之内的, 如果做得比买的还贵我还干嘛做它?做法不麻烦但也分个两三部, 又要菜谱的我再单独写。


没用完的彩椒炒了个米饭,都说了是味美价廉路线了嘛, 不能浪费边角碎料啊。 同样技术含量低到没得写, 但是我要说的是, 您看到背景里的另两道菜了吗? 这不过是俺的一顿饭而已, 而且还是早饭~~ 哈~

更多饕餮,未完待续。。。

副标题: 那蠢蠢欲动的糕点正在飞向你。

本期以小样同学为主题做了一批无糖低油的点心, 取而代之的是咖啡牛奶和巧克力。因为伊可劲儿控制啥也不敢吃, 誓以妙曼身姿调帅哥,实在让人于心不忍。 所以亲爱的, 这一批你可着劲儿吃, 吃到噎住都8会增重, 为了你。。。一滴糖都没放。 上面的raisin是拿陈年rum浸过的慢慢品哇。

配合小杨一贯的欧式小资, 本期糕点取名café au lait 摆得就是在River Seine 边儿看夕阳爱咋地咋地的范儿。

同时本期另一个中心思想如下:

小杨同学, 请你在收到糕点之后用最华丽优美的辞藻来赞美我那个别出心裁创意无限,且 100% environmentally friendly 的点心盒儿。 哀家为了它动用了20% 的脑细胞。 =

Enjoy dear

Books I have been reading (2)



Philosophy Made Simple

By Robert Hellenga

很好读的一本书, 那个年迈却仍试图寻找生活本质意义的男主人公, 卖掉了老宅, 不顾儿女反对,毫无经验的 独自经营avocado grove 期间通过和一头大象以及女儿未婚夫一家的相处,走出了丧妻之后的不知所措。

三星推荐

Chasing Harry Winston

By Lauren Weisberger

又是 Barns and Nobles 推荐的, 唉~~ 他们怎么可以这么心安理得三番五次的不负责任的推荐烂书呢?

Lauren Weisberger 又怎么可以从Devil Wears Prada, 下降到 Everyone worth knowing, 然后再不遗余力的堕落到Chasing Harry Winston 她的witty humor 都不见了, Chasing Harry Winston 上演的全是纽约自恋老女人谈论无良男人的烂桥段。

半星推荐, 想看就看, 不看也没什么损失。

The Men I did not Marry

By Lynn Schnurnberger

随手从书架上拿的, 惊天名著算不上但至少比比Chasing 好看的不少。

故事的主题是, 中年女主人公遭老公抛弃, 愤恨之下打算revisit 那些曾经为她痴迷的男朋友们。 说实话,这个想法让我迷恋。

三星推荐


The Logic of Life

By Tim Harford

这本书的副标题是 the Rational Economics of an Irrational World, 经济低迷的时候大家就开始相互打探什么是经济? 虽然走的是“Freaconomics”的路数,但是作者是大名鼎鼎的 Tim Harford ,所以字里行间并不令人失望。尤其喜欢他讲为什么纽约天价房租却依然魅力无限的把你吸引那一章节, 几乎解释了我那不可名状的纽约情节。

四星推荐。


Love Today

By Maxim Biller

一个德国作家的书, 是一本由多篇短短的爱情小故事篡成的集子。 Opeah上也有推荐。 基本上看了前三页就知道不是美国大众读物。 几乎没有,时间,地点, 以及故事背景, 完全是男女主人公思想和行为的片段描写。 至于故事是怎么发生,又是怎么结束的, 有你天马行空的去想好了。适合浪漫低调闷骚小资文艺女青年午后阅读。

爆爱这本书的封面!

三点五星推荐


Dearest Dorothy: Help, I’ve lost myself

By Charlene Ann Baumbich

正在看, 有点搞笑,有点小共鸣。 属于我的睡前,如厕读物。 哈哈

三星推荐

The Assault on Reason

By Al Gore

神奇的小王 (21)

副标题--那些让你念念不忘的味道

最近开始鼓捣一些小点心, 房东老太太提供一电动搅拌机, 以及无数烤盘。自己制备了些高筋低筋面粉, butter 和糖, 烘培的成本还真是比做菜低不少啊。 ~~

这些都是这一两个星期烤的, 我频率之快,房东老太太成了主要吃家。 每次做完,我尝一个, 加加减减创新一下,又一批。 房东老太太大爱~~吃的很欢喜。 带出去party 也倍儿有面子。 可这些都不是我做点心的初衷。

我是跟着祖父母长大的, 奶奶有个点心匣子(唐山话),里面总是有各式各样的点心。 我乖的时候奶奶就会从把那个漂亮的点心匣子亮在我眼前, 让我挑一块。 这一招让我这个喜爱上房揭瓦, 喜欢涤荡一切的玩虐,可以安静的坐在小板凳上画上几个小时的画儿。

后来在北京的时候, 每次回家都会搭公车到稻香村挑几样色香味俱全的糕点给奶奶带回去。 来美国以后每次见到party上的pastries 都忍不住评论 ‘甜得粘牙啊’‘硬成这样怎么嚼啊’‘净是糖还有别的吗?’完全是我奶奶的标准。 后来奶奶过世了, 打那儿以后我就改只吃cheese cake 了。

前一段,无意间在网上看到了做果酱小酥饼的帖子, 心里的某个角落便被蛰到了。

其实, 我们怀念的从来都不是食物, 而是那个时候的生活和回忆。

就像我奶奶的点心匣子, 就像娜娜的那块哈蜜瓜水晶月饼, 就像圆脸阿姨买的凉皮儿。 对食物的追忆其实是个无比伤感的过程。 因为那时的味觉再也不会重回我们口中, 就像旧日的时光无法重回一般。 念念不忘成了唯一能做的事情。

果酱千层饼
迷你蛋塔
果酱小苏饼

PS recipe 就不写了,我很少measure 几克糖, 几克盐, 烘培,做饭都是靠感觉, 感觉到了味道也便到了。

那些是非过往

---过剩来自锦上添花————

换季, 大半个下午都闷在地下室将夏天的衣服叠好装箱, 冬天的棉袄抖开挂上。诧异于自己的衣物竟然如此过剩, 夏天已过, 一半的衣服都还没有穿过呢。或许是这里的夏天实在过的太快, 嗖儿的一下, 树叶全都黄了。或许是我买的太多,明明知道什么多不缺, 却又忍不住打着锦上添花的旗号原谅自己, 多少银两就这样东流水不复返了。 气喘吁吁的对着五六个大箱子发誓, 明年夏天以前, 我一片儿衣服都不再买了, 我, 保,证。

——无比意外的分割线———

收理衣物的同时, 在旧物堆里找到了个半新的本子, 大喜,就缺个能让我写字儿的本儿~ 翻开一看, 密密麻麻的,,日记。 不过不是我的, 是小姑娘C写给位小男生T的。 当年我们三个同一年来到这个陌生的城市, 住在同一座楼里, 说着同样蹩脚的英文,上着同样似懂非懂的课, 有种相依为命的亲近。 然而却不知两人竟还有这样那般的纠葛/纠缠。 期间各种天崩地裂,撕心裂肺,各种依依不舍,惺惺相惜。 直看得我目瞪口呆, 旧胶片在脑袋里飞速旋转, 依稀记得T 毕恭毕敬的站的我家门外说: 丹姐, 还有泡面吗?记得C 总是穿很短的裙子,在家做饭都踩高跟鞋。 记得有次T看流星花园里道明寺对两个女朋友都爱意无限时, 抱着瓶啤酒无限惆怅的对我说: 换作我都搞不定。 我自是十分的不屑: 这种烂桥段若是真发生在生活中定然也没什么好下场。 T对我大声: 你, 好, 狠。。嗯~现在才明白当时他反映为什么那么激烈。

然后的时间就悄无声息的流过, 毕业之后我们个分了东西, 其实是T去了东,C去了西, 我留下来读MS 不知他们两个是否还有联系, 是否还会记起当年的痴。只是, 他们的那份生涩让我感动, 或许正是那些不肯说出来的秘密真实的记录着我们的成长。

最后看了一下落款年月, 2003.

——无比伤感的一句话——

时间会磨平一切, 如果它存在,它就干枯 如果它流动, 它就流走; 如果它生长, 他就慢慢凋谢。

——我的成长来自对食物的热爱——

明天再表啦~

神奇的小王

副标题: 追求的就是那无中生有的精神

肚子很空, 冰箱也很空,每每此时,便有一股革命精神涌出。
空则变, 变则通, 通则有。
对不起啊,梁启超前辈, 改了您俩儿字儿, 咱们的革命方向不同, 但是我领会了您的要领。
跑题, 言归正传。

那斯巴丐涕还是机器猫HY小姐回国前,清理门户给我留下的。 煮了!
房东老太太, 友情赠送了袋色拉; 又很大方的把上次趴屉剩下的白蘑菇给我了, 虽然有点点黑边边, 但真的不妨大碍,
上头那个红红的东西叫beets 说实话偶8晓得系什么啦, 不过甜甜脆脆有点像荸荠。切了!
突然又想起, 前两天鹵了鸡臻(zhen字儿是这么些的末?)加点儿鸡汤和斯巴丐涕拌在一起, 不是我懒, 是上上上个星期就已经把机器猫送的斯巴丐涕酱给消灭了。
然后就把这些依次落起来。
竟。然。发。现。效。果。十。分。 满。堂。彩~~~



只是想证明一下, 真的很好吃, 并顺便推荐一下哀家钟爱的, 屡战不败的 sesame and ginger salad dressing. 哀家几乎试遍了市场上的所有品牌, 口味不分伯仲, 列为尽可放心购买。
还有就是, 古之人不于欺人也~~

乐子是要不断找的


所以我们就。。。


上图左边的酒友, 竟然是我的瑜伽老师。


哀家的手艺, 周边的蛋塔虽然卖相狰狞但是味道鲜美。
好评如潮后,居然有人要打包哀家的点心,
极大的满足了我那颗小小的虚荣心。

乐子都是自己找的


如题,
无论怎样,心花不能停止怒放




Learn To Be Lonely
From: Phantom of the Opera

Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness

Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion

Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you
You've always known your heart was on its own

So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to Be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone

Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion

Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you
You've always known your heart was on its own

So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to Be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone

Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived life can be loved alone

吐吐就习惯了

在网上看到有人闲来无事,给一些古人也起了外国名儿,
如下——

孔子,名仲尼——Johnny
曹操,字孟德——McDonald
杜甫,字子美——Jimmy
韩愈,号昌黎——Charlie
狄仁杰——Roger
苏轼——Susan
王安石,字介甫——Jeff
唐寅——Tony
孙中山,字逸仙——Eason
蒋中正,字介石——Jason
马英九——Angel
韩乔生——Johnson

哀家险些笑喷, 想来中国人起个洋名真的是件很叽歪的事, 若不是自个儿的中文名飘洋过海后就变了性, 不是一般的误导不知情的美国人民, 定是不会给自己来个洋的。不过入乡随俗, 总是好过被人误认为transexual. 每被问起为什么用Ivy, 我都会很老实的回答, ‘好拼’。 没骗人, 我到现在都觉得 'Elizabeth' 这个名字很挑战。

Pending

Subtitle: It is all about gazing


Getting a B-day gift for D2 was a perplexing question to me. I am glad this rambling painting I did served the b-day-gift purpose.

Ivy: You know you are just a baby, you never gonna grow up.
D2: Yeah...that is why every girl calls me 'Hey Baby~'




Girl Singing in the Wreckage


It's my primary instinct to protect the child
Girl singing in the wreckage
My dress is torn, my hair is wild
Girl singing in the wreckage

My first kiss, my early boyfriend
Girl singing in the wreckage
Wet weekends, new years eve parties
Girl singing in the wreckage

Chorus:
Hour after hour after hour (x2)

My 18th birthday, I'll die of boredom
Girl singing in the wreckage
My private world is smashed right open
Girl singing in the wreckage

My 1st trip, my expectations
I had a dream that it would end like this
No destiny, No destination
You hit the ground and then it stops

CHORUS

I miss my hometown, it's nothing special
Call my parents let them know I've arrived
My primary instinct is to protect the child
Send the postcard from the airport

无话可说

Subtitle: 图片兴博 (1)



I draw this one couple of weeks ago. I have been very moody lately, and do not feel like expressing myself in words.
Thanks dear Janet called me last week, it is always so nice to hear from you. Hey you know I was not going to be a recluse, I was on the brink of cerebral palsy, haahaha



The Lovers Are Losing
Keane

I dreamed I was drowning
In the river Thames
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

Slipped away from your open hands
Into the river
Saw your face looking back at me
I saw my past and I saw my future

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But anyway you look at things and try
The lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching
The young lover's dance
I reached out to touch your hand
But I was watching from a distance

We cling to love like a skidding car
Clinched to the corner
I try to hold on to what we are
The more I squeeze the quicker we all are

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But anyway you look at things and try
The lovers are losing

I dreamed I had nothing at all (nothing at all)
I dreamed I had nothing at all

You take the pieces of the dreams that you had
Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But in the final reckoning
We're trying
The lovers are losing

Old Man in Sorrow

Subtitle : life is a losing game:


Of course, the idea of this pencil sketch is not my original.
Vicent Van Gogh sketched it in Nov 1882. It was half meter high and 1/3 meter wide, quite large indeed. In May 1890 Van Gogh painted even larger version of 'old man in sorrow' which almost doubled that black chalk sketch’s size (81cmx65cm). And the oil paint version of 'old man in sorrow' was the one with greater renown.
Ok, Van Gogh did a better job than me, and I guess that is quite alright =D

Books I have been reading lately (1)



--Peony In Love

哀家一直都judge a book by cover的,借这本书也无非是因为外皮闷骚,见它在Barns and Nobles 的架子上也很显眼, 心想没准会有情节。

到目前为止, 看完了三分之二,老子就已经被雷的外焦里嫩了。

故事讲的是明末清初富家女Peony 的感情经历,八过,整个故事斯拉斯拉地是讲给非中国人听的。说什么, 不管礼教多么繁杂,’there are a lot of hugs and kisses in the house’ 同学们啊~~明末清初啊~~hugs and kisses 啊~~ 靠普吗? 至于 像‘kiss on the forehead’之类 的细节, 这里就不提了, 更雷的是女主人公因为博学多才, 念了世界名著‘牡丹亭’又偶遇风流倜傥一小生,终日怀想, 相思成疾,挂掉了。 在阴间与祖母重逢, 共同回顾她父母之爱情故事, 又在阴间看到风流小生娶了自己生前姐妹。 人神公愤以后决定鬼俯身到姐妹身上与小生重逢。。。。

好啦好啦, 到此为止, 整个儿揍是西厢记,牡丹亭,红楼梦,外代人鬼情未了 ,揉圆了向我砸来。 事已至此,我决定大义凛然的看完它, 不过不鼓励列位看官啦,明知会被雷, 还是退退退吧。
下期预告 ‘eat pray and love’

副标题:三文鱼与树

起个这么文艺的名字完全是因为介个造型得来全不费功夫。
原本是想把切成条的三文鱼摆成朵花儿, 日本芥末做叶子, 结果接了个电话, 回来小花儿就长成大树啦~
心得一二三:
1)三文鱼要切得薄
2)日本芥末要新鲜
3)表做得太多, 鱼要现买现做现吃, 放不新鲜就没意思了。

宏营语录

宏营小朋友有着彪悍的小宇宙, 和令人抓狂的思维体系。
这个北大毕业的闺秀, 说起话来又嗲又卡通, 基本上揍是个林志玲版的机器猫。
别的无须赘言, 列为看官可劲儿联想揍是了。

1)在TjMaxx里,场景一
Ivy: 我要去试衣间里试这些衣服, 你要不要也拿些一起去试啊?
HY: 不要, 反正我又不会买的。
Ivy: 我有说让你买吗?试着玩儿呗, 有点娱乐精神好不好~
HY: … 好吧, 我就是来陪你娱乐的
(奉献精神)

2)TjMaxx, 试衣间, 场景二
HY: 你真的没胸哎, 都是空的。
Ivy: 嗯, 我就想把腿上的肉割下5磅贴在胸上。
HY: 嗯,我也想割下5磅,贴。。。嗯。。扔掉好了
(一语双关)

3)TjMaxx, 试衣间, 场景三
Ivy: 怎么衣服都这么大呀?
HY: 你太瘦了。
Ivy: 人人都想瘦, 为什么作为一个减肥成功人士我却买不到衣服穿.
HY: 你有减肥吗?
Ivy: 没有, 我属于增肥失败人士
(事物的两面性)

4)电话上:
Ivy: 你就要回国了,会有很长时间见不到你, 现在给你三分钟时间, 对我诉衷肠。
HY: 什么是诉衷肠呀阿阿~
Ivy: 就是说我的好听话,。。一,二,三,。。开始~!~
HY: 。。。你好看,
Ivy: 嗯,
HY:你要给我做饭。
Ivy: 嗯?
HY: 你要带我买菜, 你要给我打电话, 还要给我写email…
Ivy: 打住!衷肠不是这样诉的好不好~~
(注水衷肠)

5)还是电话上
Ivy: 猪,
HY : 猪,
Ivy: 我是珍珠的zhu
HY: 那我也是珍珠的zhu
Ivy: 你是存钱罐儿的猪, 背后有眼儿, 肚上有盖儿, 啊哈哈~~
HY: 讨厌~
(欺负了邻家小妹 )

6)又是电话上
HY: 大头丹
Ivy: 无头营
(开诚布公)

7)一张照片引发的一道数学题


照片题名为,
“Ivy 和她的宠物 等于 HY 和她的宠物”,
但是ivy 不等于 HY
为什么呢?
因为Ivy 和HY 互为宠物
(不过最近一直都是她在对我投放食物啦 ~_~)

第一口蛋糕的滋味,



做王菲是什么感觉啊~~

Thursday, July 3, 2008

一片空白

忙乱,
一天一天, 在东岸三天, 在西岸三天, 需要酒精来保证睡眠。
今天终于飞回芝加哥, 已是凌晨,开车到公司,打开电脑,大上司两封邮件躺在眼前。
回了, 说:咱们 system failure, 您急也没有P用。当然我的语气很婉转, 并加上了节日快乐之类的filling words。

国庆长假, 有场婚礼要参加, 伴娘们要穿新娘指定的短旗袍, 娘类~ 哀家很难走传统这条路线, 那身短旗袍若不被我演绎成夜店风尘女,就是大堂服务生, 很大程度上, 取决于配什么鞋子。

其实有点害怕参加婚礼, 那份喧闹,喜庆,甜蜜与我当下那种挥之不去的挫败感不符。

很偶尔的, 会怀念那个温暖的拥抱, 然后后知后觉的抽噎一场, 再然后便神情麻木的从一场忙乱投入到另一场忙乱中去。

A day just gone by

9:30am woke up. I barely wake up this late, even on weekends. But since the weather just getting warm that my apartment building finally stopped the bake-you-as-a-potato-heater, yet still not too warm to stay in bed. So with this kind of guilty pleasure, I got up 2 hours late than usual.

9:30 -11:00am breakfast, Okay, it was a brunch, coz I woke up so late. My new innovation of meat + noodle + raw veggies + salad dressing + pan fired egg. These were all I have in my refrigerator, and it was so damn good.


11:00 – 12:00pm Apartment hunting … in the same building. I was thinking go somewhere rather than downtown, since it is so not safe, we just got another safety alert and parking is bad too. But it is really hard to find a place like this where the rent is reasonable, includes everything even electricity, and the hard wood floor is crucial. Why do I have to move? C and I are both graduating this summer, our roommate-ship is coming to an end. A little sad but it is ok, she is great girl but I would love to have a place I can totally in charge of the life-quality-control, meaning no over night garbage, no dirty dishes in the sink, no spaghetti sauce on the floor. Anyhow, I found a studio on fifth floor, and I am signing the lease on Monday.

12:00 – 2:00pm library, checked my email…sigh~~

Dr K’s data has been sitting on my desk for 6 weeks now. I figured that if he can wait for 6 weeks, maybe he will be ok with waiting another week. So I decided go shopping instead of data mining. It is so easy to tell which one is more fun.

2:00-5:00pm Shopping in Grand Avenue. After the gas price has soared to $3.8/G I am making most of my trip by feet now. Luckily it is not too far. I got a Kodak digital camera for NaNa’s wedding from the mall. 8 mega pixels, big lcd screen, really easy to use just press the biggest button on the top and that will be all. I did not consult anyone before I made this purchase, as a high-tech idiot I usually do, coz, heck, all those electronics are looking pretty good to me. Anyhow, since Nana is not much high-tech than me I hope this one would work, if not I also have a red envelop loaded with cash, so she can just get whatever she likes. Thoughtful huh? I know.

I also went to public library on my way back. Check out a movie called ‘Prime’, never heard of it, but I do like Meryl Streep so up to give it a try. Checked out a book ‘About Alice’, also never heard of it, I just like the simple clean cover. That is all.

5:00-6:30pm dinner, eat whatever visible and eatable in kitchen.

6:30-9:30pm watch this movie in my bed with nuts and three bottles of beer. Do not ask me why, it just happened this way. It was a love story but not that kind of story you want watch again. Still, pretty good, with appreciation of each other’s existence the man and woman in this movie still decided not being together at the end, a little anti-Hollywood, yet understandable.

After 9:30 pm, read ‘About Alice’ and thinking maybe I should record my day. Maybe I write the book review after I done with it. But to be honest, it is really rare I can finish a book before its returning date, especially, I have another two books on hand already. Is that count as one of my greedy nature evidences?

神奇的小王 (17)

副标题: 攻占厨房最后一个死角

一直都很爱吃鱼, 却很少做, 第一是实验成本要比瓜果蔬菜高,二是那时做饭都是给d2吃, 他总是会被刺卡到。

前段时间在中国店看到有鲜鱼,便心血来潮冲了头顶,拎了一条。

到家就傻眼了, 这么整的一条,没破肚还带着麟。 草草草 心中暗骂三声,努力回忆着娘亲和奶奶都是怎么整的, 结果年代太久远了, 啥也想不起来了。自个儿来吧。

鱼鳞是拿steak knife 刮得, 比想象中容易, 揪着鱼尾巴往外刷刷刷, C 饶有兴趣的凑过来,像看西洋景似的嚷 OMG never seen fish this way~’然后又像个观光客般拿着相机狂照,然后就有以下这组照片。



刮鳞, 破肚,剪鳍, 扣鳃,掏内脏, 哇~ 居然是条mom fish 好多鱼籽,罪过罪过。 也掏出来, 蒸了,和香辣菜炒在一起。 高脂肪高蛋白, 吃吧~




锅放油, 烧热, 放鱼, 两边煎黄。 转大锅,加水, 加葱姜, 加料酒一点点。 到此为止一切顺利, 创意大发, 又加了豆腐, 红萝卜, 奶油玉米。 娃哈哈,色香味, 相当不错。

不过哀家恶习已深, 没人陪就不肯吃饭。 所以做好以后, 分了宏莹1/3,自己喝了1/3, 倒掉了剩下的1/3 这条鱼的使命就这样完成了。还有这已是很久以前做了, 没有正经儿做饭已经好多月 =

Face . Book

You know there is this thing called facebook, which I barely use but if somebody writes something on my wall or sent me a message I will check it. So I checked it yesterday, and one more click I was on d2’s page. I was happily surprised by several pic of him linked from others. I was surprised because d2 is such a low key person that he won’t put his pictures online by himself, but finally there are some to see. I was happy because he looked pretty good in those b-day party pictures; he even had a hair cut and shaved.
And that is that, until second day I got hit by this thought that who is d2? He was the person I know everything of. I use to know what did he do everyday, who did he see, what funny things happened yaali yaali yaala. I use to even know what he ate, what he was wearing inside out, how many cigarettes he smoked a day ….. But now, I can only make some random assumptions guessing how his life looks like. Who is he? He was the person I wanted to marry to so badly, suddenly he is stranger again.
After finished the big report for my class today, I could not get rid of this picture hanging in my mind. So I drew it down. I actually emailed d2 my drawing and asked if he could put on his facebook as ID pic, although it won’t really matter a thing for either of us, I guess. I was amazed by the strong color contrast after I was done, red is my color and black is d2’s favorite. I did not do it on purpose; the color combination came out naturally. It was not a hard drawing at all, but most struggling one I must say, since my hands were shaking so bad when I was drawing it that I had to take a few breaks in order to finish.



My . Face

I am still afraid of being old, yet I know it comes sooner or later. So I got this idea that if I can not fight for it, I am going to record it. I created a new photo album named ‘daily’, meaning I am going to take a pictures of myself each day and upload them under that album. So a year later I will have at least 365 or more pictures and by go though them I can find out what day on where I had which wrinkle. Haha , is this something sounds crazy and fun?! It already started.

会不同

时间太快, 日子太慢。

这段时间,心情很差, 不想见人,也懒得说话。

娜娜的婚礼在下个月的27号。

我说, 我们23年的交情,为了ta你就把我给甩啦。

娜娜说, 没啥, 我跟了咱爸咱妈都29年啦, 为了ta我把他们俩儿都甩啦。

我们的一生,都在寻找安全感,

有人走一站, 有人走一生

每日都很忙, 却总是很沮丧。

不肯见到真实的自己, 便悄无声息的,杂碎了所有的镜子。

很害怕,越来越怕,

ni,不要,正式, 和我,

说, 再见。

TAKE A BOW


My tasks piled up on my desk,
and to do list is getting longer and longer,
yet I am not functioning at all.
Stay up till four and wake up at five.
I may need sometime get myself back,
maybe couple of days, weeks, or months
maybe just dissolve in the air.
Take a bow, kiss kiss, I will always love you.

Where she goes? (2)

a fantasy land which she knows not exists.

I don't understand what you mean,
If i am not in your heart,it is enough if you said so.
You don't have to conceal what's in your heart,

because I know, it was not me...
