Pineapple is my favour


I like to use pineapple to make salad, fruit platter, fry with meat or make fry rice.

Although it is a bit complicated to fry rice with pineapple, the tropical taste will surely impress you. You can put all the ingredients which go along with pineapple. Actually, pineapple absorb fat. Keep you slim and keep the meat not oily.

Woldolf salad


Waldorf salad Created at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in 1896 not by a chef but by the maître d'hôtel, (dining room manager) was an instant success.

The original version of this salad contained only apples, celery and mayonnaise. Chopped walnuts later became an integral part of the dish. Waldorf salad is usually served on top of a bed of lettuce.

CLASSIC WALDORF SALAD
Ingredients:
1. 1 cup apples chopped, (Granny smith or a Sweet tart apple or a combination of different tart apples)
2. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
3. 1 cup celery, chopped
4. 1/4 cup mayonnaise
5. 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
6. 1/4 cup walnuts (optional)
7. Sprinkle apples with lemon juice after they are cut
8. Add all other ingredients.
9. Toss to coat all pieces with mayonnaise.

Cooking good food.

Try different types of recipes when i have time becomes my hobby these few years. I was surprised that different combinations give us various enjoyment. Although we are not live only by food, it is vital for us to keep our 'temple' healthy and sound to do everything everyday. I feel blessed when i was questioned by the medical person about my health condition and check what types of medicine, what kind of illness i have. I am still very good in shape. I told her that I am really lucky. The medical person said, it is also because you care about your health.

I learn how to cook, bake, fry, steam according to the recipes. However, i still find out there are so many secrets not easy to grasp. I regret didnt teach my girls to cook and prepare them to live by themselves. It is because i was not a good cook when they were young and so they are not good cook too. what a pity, especially their generation and demanding busier life than mine.
I met C this morning at Tim Hortons. I was a bit annoyed because she promised me to see her in her home office and change at the last moment. With a cup of tea in hand at Tim H, she called me and asked what color is my coat so she can recognise me. I told her i am wearing a fur coat. She came in and aplogized for being late and not inivting me to her house. Reason: Her mom passed away recently and everyone still moruning; her dad is sick and stays with her; her brother aged 40 broke his leg and has to stay with her. She has 3 adult kids. Not mentioning husband. She owns a swimming school and wants to put an ad on the newspaper.
She told me that she woke up early and run run run for the whole day. When i want to say sorry to hear that, she said oh well life is like that. I really admire her hardworking, being independent, responsible, compassionate to her family and nothing to blame. Enjoy everyday God leads her and take everything as what she has to go through. The lady really has a lot of things for us to learn and think deep about what is life.

I am really blessed because i have you two

I am thinking i will be getting older and older. Would one day i forget everything happened in my life? Scarely! Especially when i think about how delicacy of our lives. I am fearly and wonderfully made. So i try to recall the precious moments in my past years. There are always 2 clear pictures in my mind without any burr.

1. I gave 50 cents to Mk and asked her to buy something from the store while i stayed outside the store about 30 feet away. She was about two or three years old. She can speak very clear and bought a piece of candy with changes back. Her exciting, proud expression of the rosy cheeks is one of the things my mind congeals. Whenever the picture comes out, i will smile from the bottom of my heart. Can't believe the little one is now dealing with cases everyday.

2. I came back from accompanying my mom to see her dad in China after one week. I ringed the door bell. It is the summertime and only the iron gate was locked. Before the maid answered the door, yk was standing inside the gate and kept on calling me non stoppingly. i can imagine that she must be waiting for me inside the gate for more than 7 days. She must come to check through the gate if i come back or not for so many times. My heart broke. Whenever i think about that, i know i need to love this little one more. It comes out she is such a compassionate daughter who knows how to comfort and care my heart. She acts so strong to form a cover to protect herself as she knows that mom cannot be by her side all the time.she has to learn how to protect herself. But her heart is so delicate and soft. Her love is overwhelming and detail for many small things. I pray for a true man who knows how to appreciate her love. I have a girl like that and i know that I am really blessed.
