¡ Hola a todos !

Yum I love Krispy Kreme doughnuts :P ...especially their "Original Glazed"
They have a special packing for V-Day
 

 
 
祝大家牛年快樂  
(有沒更有創意的賀詞啊??) 

在這麼多的Christmas songs中 挑這首來唱karaoke的原因是什麼啊??
是這樣的-
Christmas的習俗之一是交換禮物

而這首< Let it Snow> 其實是一首"二人世界"的Christmas song
既然都要交換禮物 送禮物給對方…
所以呢
在雙方都很確定彼此、有結婚打算的的情侶中，
一方就會送上求婚戒指直接來求婚
(省的送完christmas gift後還要再花一次錢 :) 
哈哈，雖然有點實際，不過還是有點小浪漫吧~!
那麼，這首歌就送給要在CHRISTMAS 前後 訂/結婚的人囉 ^_^

喜歡復古情懷的話就跟瘦皮猴法蘭克辛纳屈一起唱 (推)

喜歡現代輕快版的就跟著 J.Simpson一起唱 ><"
    Let it Snow 

( by Frank Sinatra)

(by Jessica Simpson) 輕快版

Oh the weather outside is frightful 
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

CAKE GOOD, FRUIT GOOD... mix them both together‧‧‧‧??
哈哈，這句話真是道出我的心聲耶…
好奇問號後面的結論是什麼嗎?

                                

Norman Rockwell（1894-1978），曾被《紐約時報》譽為“本世紀在美國最受歡迎的藝術家，因為其創作生命很長（從 1916 年到 1974 年），而他也忠實地紀錄了在他有生之年裏所見所聞的美國

 感恩節大餐的餐桌上，三代同堂的歡樂，大家都盛裝打拌、愉快的互相聊著天…

 

小紅莓鬼醬食譜
  感恩節烤火雞的沾醬通常是用cranberry sauce…說實話，吃火雞配甜甜的醬…不是那麼合我的口味啊!
   話說3週前就在超市看到好大一包應景的小紅莓…竟然不到4元，想說blackberry和raspberry都那麼香甜可口，同樣是berry家族出來的craneberry，一定也不負家族之名吧~ 而且這又是ocean'spray出的…應該很好吃吧~
 買回來咬了一口才發現…又酸又澀…完全有辱berry家族其他兄弟姐妹的聖名=="
問了朋友才知道…這個小紅莓不是拿來作果醬就是果汁，直接拿來吃的話…只會讓你酸的從沙發上跳下來…哈哈
…ocean'spray的小紅莓汁到處都買的到…不如就照聰明的朋友的建議…來作作看小紅莓鬼醬唄~!

 



Lingonberry or Cranberry Jam Recipe
Depending on the tartness of the berries you may need to adjust the amount of sugar.

1 lb. 2 ounces (500 g) frozen or fresh lingonberries or cranberries

A scant cup (7 oz/200g) of caster (superfine) sugar (hs note: I just
gave my regular granulated sugar a whirl in the food processor for
15-20 seconds)

Finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
1 small apple, peeled and cored

Rinse the berries, if necessary, then drain well and put them in a
non-metallic bowl with the sugar and lemon juice. Leave overnight,
turning once or twice.
Coarsely grate the apple and put it into a jam-making pan or other
heavy based saucepan with the grated lemon rind. Strain in all the
juice from the berries (hs note: I didn't end up with a ton of juice,
but scraped all the thick, sugary juice in) and add two wooden
spoonfuls of berries, leaving the rest of the berries in the bowl for
now. Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) water and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until
the apple is very soft and the whole lot has thickened (hs note: I
ended up ~10 minutes). Add the rest of the berries and heat through for
5-8 minutes. Pour into sterilized jars. Seal tightly and turn upside
down. Cover with a cloth and leave to cool completely before turning
upright and storing in a cool place. The jam will keep for a couple
months but, once open, keep it in the fridge and use fairly quickly.
Makes about 2 cups.
