| | What drinks do you like? coffee? tea? water?... | | In Chinese, old people like to drink tea. They will prepare green tea when guests visit them at their house. After dinner, they would like to drink tea and they think tea can help assimilation. Young people, especially those in city, love coffee. In fact, coffee in China is still a little more expensive compared with earning. But they still drink coffee after lunch, even in the evening.Some people who care more about their health and only drink water. Children love juice more... I love Sprite and Coca Cola. I can only drink Sprite for one week. I know that would not good for my body and I'm trying to accept water.;-)What drinks do you like? Please share with us. Maybe I will try your loved drinks.:) happy mylotting! | |

There is a old Chinese old saying: min yi shi wei tian(phonetic transcription of Chiese characters); A literal translation is:people regard food as their heaven/ for the common people food is heaven. To restate in a paraphrase is:food is the first necessity of the people/food is the prime want.
Chinese cuisine is as long as in origin and rich in content as Chinese culture. To the Chinese, eating is a kind of culture in itself.
If you know a little about Chinese cuisine and you will know that there is no such thing as simple "Chinese food", but a large and varied selection of Chinese cuisine.
Chinese cuisine places great emphasis on three elements: color,aroma and flavor.
Chinese cuisine is based on five tastes:sour,hot,bitter,sweet and salty. The main cooking mathods include sauteing,frying,braising,steaming,barbecuing and stewing.

| | Travels with my mother and bother - I mean brother - Part 4 | | Wednesday, day four started with my best night’s rest since I got up on Sunday in my own bed. My sister had told my mom that since we had to get up SO early the next morning to drive to Philly to catch the plane and because she was going to have to leave herself that morning to go with my brother back to go thru more paper work with my cousin’s widow, she was going to do her shower in the afternoon. My sister’s friend, my mom & I hung around the hotel room until it was time to go meet the rest for lunch. We watched Rachel Ray - not too bad since she was freaking out over animals with one of those zoo guys that guest star on shows.I tried to read my book, but that didn’t work, mom kept talking to me. I also knew that stitching wasn’t in the picture, she’d want me to do things like move her around, look for something or change the channel - even tho she had the remote next to her. When it was time we went down & drove to Tuckerton to meet the rest. On the way my sister called and told me the restaurant had buffalo on the menu! I knew what I was eating for lunch!Now, if you EVER have a reason to go to Little Egg Harbor or Tuckerton in New Jersey, go to the Dynasty... | |
