红烧/清蒸/羹 - 鱼的详细做法

老弟 & S's favorite seafood, fish in particular... not as perfect as mum's though, ok enough...haha copied online recipe , very in detailed. 收藏。。。

红烧鱼的详细做法

一)原料:
  鱼,酒、葱、蒜、辣椒猪油、调味料各少许。
  做法:
  1.将鱼洗净、切块;

  2.放入热油锅内先煎煎至鱼皮呈黄色见硬时,把鱼捞出。

  3.锅内加熟猪油、酒葱、蒜、辣椒、调味料煸炒,再放入肉清汤烧开,将鱼放入。然后用小火焖烧十分钟左右,见鱼肉熟汁呈胶状后,加味精并晃动,使卤汁裹包鱼块,即成。

二)油烧冒蓝烟后,下入配料煸香,火不能太大,主要是炒出香味,等葱蒜发黄的时候就可以把配料捞出待用,红辣椒特别注意不能炸黑了,那就不好看。

剩下的油用来煎鱼吧!油温6分就可以啦,两面微黄就可以了,也可以稍微煎老点!!

翻鱼的时候小心,弄断了就砸锅啦,然后就可以放一小碗水(家庭没有高汤)开始煮——饭店里火大油多,人家甚至全用油烹熟,家庭就用自己的做法咯!

水开后加入最重要的黄酒+酱油,是个去腥调味染色的步骤!放入先前的配料一起烧,汤中放入少许盐,要考虑量哦,因为酱油也是咸的,后面还要加酱,包括鱼本 身以及入过味了!不停的把汁浇在鱼上,保证均匀受热!加入一大勺郫县豆酱,这个是我很喜欢的东西,烧一小会,鱼就熟了,时间久了就容易破坏外形!

锅里还有一些汤呢!精华所在啊!加入少许糖和醋,味素,调好一碗底的水淀粉,下锅,大火烧开,迅速搅拌均匀,有一点粘稠的时候就起锅!

最后工序——浇上汤汁!汁的多少自己把握,少了太干,多了没味!

煎鱼宜用小火,慢火煎出的鱼非常香脆。如果是用来做红烧的鱼,煎时抹适量炸粉,如果没有炸粉,就抹面粉。注意,面粉抹之前要用水和一下。无论煎鱼直接吃还 是用来红烧,油都不能太少,不然糊底,这和是否是“不粘锅”有一定关系,但关系不大。无论煎鱼用来直接吃,还是用来红烧后再吃,都要小火煎至鱼皮金黄色, 才可装碟。

2、之所以做出的鱼,带腥味,而且鱼皮香,好吃,而鱼肉不好吃,没入味,原因如下:鱼在煎之前,一定要抹盐,淹约半至一小时,可以达到去泥腥的效果。
如果煎鱼用来红烧的,同理,也是抹盐,还要浇上适量酱油,料酒等自己喜欢的调味品,再抹上炸粉或面粉。

3、红烧鱼程序通常如下:

A,杀鱼后抹盐,调味品,抹炸粉淹浸约半至一小时;
B,热锅放油,油热放鱼,慢火或中火交替煎鱼,至鱼金黄色,装碟备用。
C,热锅放油,爆香葱白,蒜片或蒜末,姜片等,放适量水,放自己喜欢的调味品(例如豆瓣酱,料酒,老抽,醋,糖等等)勾成汁。把鱼放进去,焖约十多分钟。通常焖的时间越长,各种调味品的味道进入的就越多,但又不能无休止地一直焖下去。适可而止即可。
D,鱼熟后,放生葱,香菜等自己喜欢的装饰物,即达到加重香味的目的,又达到装饰的目的。

用做红烧鱼的原料一定要先弄干净。葱啊姜啊的自是不用说都要备好,鱼弄干净了之后找一个有点深度的盘子,把鱼放在里头,然后是酱油,还多一点用来让鱼入味 的,不要忘记放料酒,这种荤的多少会有点腥味膻味什么的。过一会儿就可以开始锅里头加油了,油要烧热一点,因为要煎一下,所以也不要太少油了,也在锅里均 匀的洒一点盐,这样等会儿鱼下锅煎就不容易掉皮了。

油温够了就可以小心把鱼放进去煎了,酱油不要放。注意头尾也要煎一下的,过一会儿一面差不多就可以小心翻面了,看看鱼皮是不是掉的好一点了呢?两面都差不 多就可以开始把酱油倒进去了,从鱼身上淋下去就可以了,然后把切好的葱段放进去(鱼身上,香味让他渗透进去)就可以(如果是葱烤鲫鱼,就要很多很多葱 了),然后就是糖了,也记得均匀的放在鱼身就可以了再加点水,盖上锅盖。等闷一会儿可以掀开尝下糖汁的味道,作一下调整。再盖一下,闷一下,糖汁差不多有 点点稠就可以了。关火放点味精鸡精什么的就可以装盆了。

Super 北方家常吧 :) 下一个来个南方的:

【清蒸平鱼】
原料: 鱼1条
调料: 料酒5g 色拉油10g 葱段10g 姜片10g 葱丝10g姜丝10g 盐5g 香菜2g 红椒丝2g
做法:

1、平鱼去腮,去内脏,洗净后鱼背上剞上花刀。
2、盘内码上葱段、姜片,将平鱼放入蒸盘中,鱼身上再码上葱段、姜片,倒入料酒,放盐。 
3、屉锅放水,水开后,将蒸盘放入,中大火蒸10分钟关火,再虚蒸5分钟。 4、将鱼盘从屉上取出,挑取出葱段、姜片,放上葱丝、姜丝,油加热后浇在葱姜丝上,蒸鱼汁也浇上,放上香菜、红椒丝点缀。

Tips:

清蒸鱼肉质细嫩,味道鲜香,还能够补虚损,抗疲劳。清蒸鱼最好选择活鱼,很多人认为,鱼越鲜越好,并且喜欢现杀现吃,认为这样才能保证鱼既新鲜又营养。食品营养专家建议,宰杀好的鱼最好用保鲜膜覆盖后冷藏四到五个小时。鲜鱼宰杀后,鱼肉的肌纤维逐渐出现僵直,肌肉组织中的蛋白质不能分解产生氨基酸,而氨基酸正是鱼肉鲜味的主要成分。只有当鱼体从高度僵硬,逐渐开始向自溶阶段进行转化时,鱼肉中丰富的蛋白质在蛋白酶的作用下,才逐渐分解为人体容易吸收的各种氨基酸。如果鱼蛋白没有完全分解,味道就不够鲜美,营养成分也不充分。另外,刚宰杀的鱼有很多的寄生虫和细菌,在常温下或者在冰箱中冷藏四五个小时,会杀死一部分寄生虫和细菌,食用起来更卫生。

清蒸鱼的九大关键秘诀:

1、鱼的重量选择:最好控制在500-600克之间,这样生熟的火候比较容易好把握,摆在鱼盘中也美观。
2、在收拾鱼时:可将鱼脊骨从腹内斩断,可以防止鱼蒸熟后由于鱼骨收缩而使鱼的整体变形。
3、蒸稍大的鱼时:可在鱼身下垫烧烤架,若没有,用几根筷子也行,使鱼离开底盘架空,鱼身全面遇热快熟。
4、蒸再大的鱼时:可以将鱼立起来(鱼在水中游动的样子)蒸。用两节约5厘米长的大葱撑开鱼腹,使鱼平稳立住,或在鱼身两侧扣放两个小陶瓷碗固定鱼身。在鱼身两边各侧剞上花刀,并在每个刀缝处夹入一片姜。
5、做鱼不能缺的调味品:白酒或料酒、麻油或其它油类、盐、葱、姜等,将调味料放入鱼腹中,可使鱼的味道更鲜,又可使蒸出的鱼显得饱满。蒸鱼本身味道很鲜美,所以省略味精、鸡精。
6、蒸鱼时如何摆盘:取姜片和大葱段,铺在鱼盘上,将鱼入盘后再在鱼身上撒些姜片和葱片,入味均匀。
7、蒸鱼的火候:火候是清蒸鱼的关键所在,与很多清蒸菜一样,一定要在锅内水开后,再将鱼入锅,蒸10分钟立即关火。
8、鱼的虚蒸:所谓虚蒸就是关火后,先别打开锅盖,利用锅内余温再蒸几分钟后出锅。此时的清蒸鱼,肉质松软,味美芳香,并具有较高的营养价值。
9、蒸鱼汁要保留:有很多人在蒸鱼时,多把蒸鱼的原汁全部倒掉,而以调好味的味汁置换,保留原汁,为的是更能保持鱼的本味,这样的清蒸鱼才别样鲜美。

烤箱版羊肉串

原料:
羊腿肉 200g

调料:烧烤料30g
(超市有卖,若没有,用辣椒粉、孜然粉、胡椒粉、盐等自调,但味道会差些,这个现成的烧烤料中我数了一下,大概有近十多种材料)

做法:
1、将羊腿肉洗净,用厨房纸巾擦干水分,切成2cm见方的肉丁。

2、在切好的羊腿肉小丁中调入色拉油、烧烤料,腌制60分钟。

3、把竹签刷洗干净,擦干水分,将羊腿肉小丁依次穿在竹签上。若不怕腻,可在每个肉串的中间位置穿上1块羊肥肉小块(每串大约共穿7-8块肉)。

4、将穿好的羊肉串(我一共穿了9串)整齐地平摊在烤架上,烤箱先预热一下,上下火200度,烤制约8分钟。

5、中途翻面,毛刷蘸上少许油,刷在羊肉串上,避免高温烘烤而焦糊。

爱尔兰羊排的做法:

[原料/调料]
薄荷酱2汤匙、迷迭香少许、俄力冈少许、玉桂叶2叶、羊排6盎斯、味精、盐少许、白脱油2汤匙、蒜头4粒.

[制作流程]
1.羊排洗净备用;

2.羊排加白脱油、迷迭香、俄力冈、玉桂叶、蒜头一起在锅中煎熟热.
   
3.煎好的羊排取出后,加入薄荷酱于香料锅中,再熬煮成薄荷沙司.
   
4.拼排在盘内的羊排,淋上薄荷沙司,周围装饰花样即可.

豆豉羊排的做法:
准备时间:3分钟

  制作时间:30分钟

  原料:羊排2段(约50克)

  调料:盐15克,白糖30克、白醋20克,白酒15克、胡椒粉5克,香油20克、酱油200克,豆豉50克

  原料采买:豆豉在超市调料货架上可以找到,有很多种品牌,价格相差不大,口味相差也不大。依照个人的习惯选择干豆豉还是湿豆豉,干豆豉更适合油炸,湿豆豉更适合做酱。

  制作:

  1.羊排放入盆内,加入拍松的葱、姜和盐、白酒、酱油、白糖、胡椒粉拌匀,腌制2小时。

  2.将烤盘擦洗干净,垫入葱、姜,再把羊排放在上面,放入烤炉内,烤制50分钟,取出后刷上香油。

  3.锅内热油,将豆豉、蒜末炒香撒在羊排上即可。

  烹饪心得:喜欢羊排却又害怕羊肉膻味的人可以掌握这样的技巧,在用腌料腌制羊排的同时,用手在羊排上抓抹,这样会让羊排腌制得更入味,减少羊肉的膻气。

  特 点:豆豉的出现让这羊排挂上了“中国结”,相信会适合更多的热爱中餐的人的口味。豆豉的营养价值绝对可以和牛肉相媲美,它的某些元素,比如钙元素甚至远远 高于牛肉,并含有大豆中的各种有益成分,因此有“营养丸”之称。而经由烘烤的羊肉吃起来有些脆,肉质更嫩,味道和油煎的羊排有天壤之别。

Xmas & Boxing Day !! Plan??

Due to the recession, its likely that boxing day sales this year to be better than most years ever because shops want to clear stock, esp fashion stuff, thx to be in logistics industry, clearly know the most killing thing would be stock - can u image what million they can possibly waste on these?? I can never think about that figure before stepping into this industry, so....lucky us, if luckier, we can catch up the last chance of the biggest sales in the next at least 2-3 yrs.

And since most stocks were bought while AUD was high, shops (those intl brands in particular) can afford to give a bigger discount!! Lucky us again, after the great online shopping ends (I was wise enough bought sufficient stocks & haven't shop online since AUD dropped below 0.80), we can still take advantage from the overstocked shops... of couse if they still have great stocks after the huge sales in Nov + Dec.

Go for this year if you indeed need something, I don't think we can be lucky again next year or followings, counting in the low consumption power, however, still believe that sales will be worse because of higher cost price of the ever low OZ$, big risk for shops to hold too much stock.

GO! GO!! GO SHOPPING GIRLS, GOOD FOR OZ ECON... HAHA, BUT REMEMBER PICK THE BARGAINS...

LUCKY U JESSIE & MECO, HEADING TO MEL... HOPE I COULD GO WITH U :)

Enrique Inglesias & His Beautiful Mum

Enrique Inglesias - Half Filipino, Half Spanish


Enrique Miguel Iglesias y Preysler (born on May 8, 1975, in Madrid, Spain) is a Spanish pop singer-songwriter. He is the son of singer Julio Iglesias and Filipina Isabel Preysler.Iglesias's career started on Indie label Fonovisa who helped turn him into one of the most popular artists in Latin America and in the Latin market in the United States, selling more Spanish albums than any other artists in that period of time. - "Rhythm Divine", "Be with You", "Hero"




Even his is my fav. singer, but next is the thing really amazed me!!!! check this pic out - guess how old is this beauty...Would u say 30+, I did. She is the mother of Enrique!!! yeah... 57 yrs old



Isabel Preysler (born Maria Isabel Arrástia Preysler on February 18, 1951 in Manila, Philippines) is a Filipina journalist, model and former TV talk show host in Madrid, Spain. She is known in the Spanish press as "La Reina de Corazones" (the Queen of Hearts) ever since a best-selling biography by the same name was published about her.



Preysler was born in San Lorenzo, Manila, Philippines, the third of six children to a rich business Filipino family of Basque-Spanish descent. She attended the Assumption Convent, a private Catholic school. Due to her good behaviour, she was often selected to represent the Virgin Mary in the local Christmas nativity scenes. Her older brother Enrique died in Hong Kong due to a heroin overdose. She named her second son Enrique Iglesias, in honor of her deceased brother. During her youth, Isabel participated in a charity beauty pageant for the Sheraton Hotel in Manila and was crowned queen. Jun Ikalav, a playboy with a bad reputation, started dating Isabel. This worried her parents, and at the age of 18, she was sent to live in Madrid with her uncle and aunt to study at Mary Ward College, an Irish Catholic university in Spain, where she studied Accounting. - (this is quite similar with my story, come to Aust at 18 studied accounting, but the rest are so different...)


It was at a party in 1970 that she was introduced to a family friend by the name of Julio Iglesias, who at the time was not yet a famous singer. The couple had their wedding just seven months later and were married for seven years, during which time they had three children, Chabeli, Julio Jr. and Enrique. In accordance with their rising careers, Julio as a singer, and Isabel as a model in Spain and Europe, they exploded onto the scene in 1971 and became overnight superstars in Spain and Latin America.Following their divorce in 1978, Isabel launched her own career as a journalist for Spanish magazine ¡Hola! and her first interviewee was Julio himself. She also interviewed Richard Chamberlain.



She married the Marquis de Grignon, Carlos Falcó, on 23 March 1980, a short-lived marriage resulted in the birth of a second daughter, Tamara. She later married former Spanish finance minister, Miguel Boyer, with whom she has another daughter, Ana. This marriage symbolized for critics the alliance of the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers Party, part of the leftist opposition to Francisco Franco, and to the "beautiful people" (aristocracy and bourgeoisie).Often dubbed "La Perla de Manila" by the Spanish media ("The Pearl of Manila"), readers at Hola magazine have voted Isabel as the most elegant and best-dressed woman in Spain for 1991, 2002, and 2004, and she has consistently topped the best-dressed lists over the years in various Spanish magazines.In 1984, she hosted the Spanish lifestyle TV programme, "Hoy." She has been chosen by several companies to be an image sponsor for their products, including Ferrero Rocher, Suárez jewelery, and, most notably, the Spanish tile company, Porcelanosa.



She is also friends with Miriam Quiambao, Miss Philippines-Universe 1999, ever since they met at a party hosted by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, a national newspaper, and with fellow Filipina and acclaimed fashion designer Monique Lhuillier, who she met in Los Angeles during a trip. She is known to wear Lhullier gowns at social events in Spain.In May 2001, she was Prince Charles' guest of honour for the opening of his Spanish Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in England. She was his guest of honor again in 2005 at a garden party during a trip to Spain by the Royal Crown. In 2004, she became Spain's welcoming host for David and Victoria Beckham when she hosted a welcoming party at her house for the celebrity couple. She became close friends with Victoria and was often photographed shopping with her during their stay in Madrid.


Most recently she launched her official website at the suggestion of her son Enrique, who is one of her biggest fans. She continues to be the national spokesmodel for Ferrero Rocher, Suárez jewelery, Manolo Blahnik shoes, Chrysler cars, and Porcelanosa tiles, for which American actor George Clooney recently joined her in Fall 2006 to represent the brand in a new advertising campaign. In 2006, she was also honored along with Hillary Clinton, Shakira, and Yoko Ono among others with the Women Together Award, which honors women for their philanthropical contributions to the United Nations in New York, making her the first Filipina woman in history to ever win the prestigious honor. In 2007, she and her daughters were invited by Prince Charles of England to be guests of honor at the Clarence house at their estate in Britain and was voted out of a total of more than 40,000 Hola magazine readers as the most elegant woman in Spain.

三十岁之前不必在乎

放弃:
当新的机会摆在面前的时候,敢于放弃已经获得的一切,这不是功亏一篑,也不是半途而废,这是为了谋求更大的发展空间。
失恋:
不是不在乎,是在乎不起。爱情如果只是一个过程,三十岁以后,可能更有能力,更有资格。
漂泊:
漂泊不是一种不幸,而是一种资格。当然,漂泊的不一定是身体,也许只是幻想和梦境。
失业:
三十岁之前,就过早地固定在一个职业上终此一生,也许才是最大的不幸。失业也许让你想起埋藏很久而尘封的梦想,也许会唤醒连你自己都从未知道的梦想。
评价:
我们最不应该做出的牺牲就是因为别人的评价而改变自我,因为那些对你指手画脚的人自己也不止他们遵从的规则是什么。
幼稚:
不要怕人说我们幼稚,这正说明你还年轻,还充满活力。成熟和幼稚是对一个人最大而无当、最不负责任、最没用的概括。那些庸人,绝不会有人说他们幼稚。
失败:
有人说过,一个人起码要在感情上失恋一次,在事业上失败一次,在选择上失败一次,这样才能长大,不要说失败是成功之母那样的老话,失败来得越早越好,要是四十岁之后再经历失败,很可能就来不及了。
错误:
这是年轻人的专利。
代价:
不是不计代价,而是要明白做任何事都要付出代价。
失意:
过分在乎失意的感受不是拿命运的捉弄来捉弄自己,就是拿别人的错误来惩罚自己。
缺陷:
也许你个子矮,也许你长的不好看,也许你的嗓音像唐老鸭……那么你的优势就是你不会被自己表面的浅薄的亮点所耽误。少花一些时间,少走一些弯路,直接发现你内在的优势,直接挖掘自己深层的潜能。
稳定:
三十岁之前就在乎稳定的生活,那只有两种可能,要么就是中了彩票,要么就是未老先衰。
压力:
中年人能够承受多大压力检验的是他的韧性;年轻人能承受多大压力焕发的是他的潜能。
薪水:
只要是给人打工,薪水在高也高也高不到哪去,所以在三十岁之前,机会远比金钱重要,事业远比金钱重要,将来远比金钱重要。
对于大多数人来说,三十岁之前干事业的首要目标不是挣钱,而是挣未来。
存款:
年轻人都知道钱是有生命的。机会这么多,条件这么好,可以拿钱按揭,花明天的钱,做今天的事;也可以拿钱去投资,拿钱去“充电”。钱只有在它流通的过程中才是钱,否则只是一叠世界上质量最好的废纸。
[启示]
在乎,是一种拿不起,放不下的心态;它的反面不是放弃,而是一种人生的大智慧。

鮮辣乳鴿香噴噴

乳鴿肉質鮮甜可口,具有高蛋白、低脂肪的特點,常食不僅能滋陰益腎,還對神經衰弱、健忘、失眠等癥有療效。乳鴿以清蒸、燉煮、紅燒、鹵水和焗烤之法最為多 見,而遊萌今天做的香辣乳鴿,是先將其煮至斷生,取出斬件後,下鍋與辣椒一同爆炒而成,吃時鴿肉鮮美多汁,還有鮮辣的口感。

  烹制材料(兩人份)

  材料:乳鴿(1只)、香葉(3片)、幹辣椒(10只)、指天椒(5只)、蒜(3瓣)、蔥(1根)、姜(3片)

  調料:油(3湯匙)、料酒(1湯匙)、鐵強化金標生抽王(1/2湯匙)、鹽(1/3湯匙)、雞粉(1/2湯匙)、白糖(1/5湯匙)


  1 指天椒去蒂切成圈,幹辣椒也切成圈;蒜頭拍扁去衣,蔥切段,姜切片;乳鴿洗凈,瀝幹水待用。

  2 燒熱半鍋水,放入幹辣椒、蔥段、香葉和姜片,加入1湯匙料酒,以大火煮沸後,放入乳鴿改小火煮15分鐘。

  3 撈起乳鴿,瀝幹水攤涼後,將乳鴿斬成塊狀。

  4 燒熱3湯匙油,放入蒜頭、蔥段、幹辣椒、指天椒、香葉和姜片,以小火炒至香氣四溢。

  5 倒入乳鴿塊,與鍋內食材一同炒勻,開大火爆炒1分鐘。

  6 加入1/3湯匙鹽、1/2湯匙生抽王、1/2湯匙雞粉和1/5湯匙白糖調味,便可上碟。

廚神貼士


  1、香葉,就是肉桂樹的樹葉,其氣味芳香,帶有辣味,主要用於制湯、肉類、海鮮等菜肴的調味。

  2、乳鴿水煮至斷生,取出斬件爆炒,可使鴿肉鮮美多汁,又很入味;乳鴿不能久煮,否則鴿肉會過老,煮的時間不可過短,否則鴿肉未熟難吃。

  3、幹辣椒、指天椒和香葉要用小火煸出香味,才可炒制鴿肉,開大火容易燒焦燒糊,使成菜味道發苦。

  4、鴿肉有益氣補血、清熱解毒、養顏美容之效,還有改善睡眠,增進食欲,幫助消化,促進兒童發育,防止骨質疏松,滋補身體和增強免疫力等功效。

WHAT IS LOVE ...

When a GIRL is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind।
When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply।
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how long you will be around।
When a GIRL answers " I'm fine " after a few seconds ... she is not at all fine.
When a GIRL stares at you ... she is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL lays on your chest ... she is wishing for you to be hers forever.
When a GIRL wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered.
When a GIRL says " I love you " ... she means it.
When a GIRL says " I miss you " ... no one in this world can miss you more than that.

Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person ....

Find a guy ...
who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
who calls you back when you hang up on him.
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.

Wait for the guy
who ... kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
Who turns to his friends and says, " That's her!!

Paella - Spain Rice

Paella 西班牙海鮮飯

Ingredients for 4 persons
1 medium chicken
1 medium rabbit
2 medium ripe chopped tomatoes
165 grs. wide green bean ( spanish-bachoqueta)
130 grs. large white lima beans ( spanish-garrafon)
1 level teaspoon of saffron
3 cups of spanish rice
8 cups of hot water or ( even better chicken broth)
olive oil ( enough to cover the bottom of the paella pan)
salt ( to taste)
1 level teaspoon of sweet red paprika


First, heat the oil and when it is hot enough, add the rabbit and chicken (lightly salted ) and fry unitl lightly browned. Then add the white and green beans and cook them together with the meat. While they are cooking, make a clearance in the middle of the paella pans and fry the chopped tomatoes until they look a little pasty, quickly adding the paprika, stirring quickly and immediately adding the hot water or broth until it is almost to the top of the paella pans edge.

Cook all the ingredients for about 20 minutes over a high fire and tasting for salt. After 20 minutes we add the rice, distributing it evenly, making sure the rice is covered with liquid. The fire should be fairly high, not interrupting the boil. It takes about 20 minutes for the paella rice to cook. Do not stir the rice once you have added it to the paella pans, just change its position so that the fire gets to all patrs equally. All the broth should be absorbed when finished. Take the paella off the fire and let stand for about 10 minutes covering the top with newspaper. If the rice has been cooked correctly, the rice grains should be loose, not clumped together or having a mushy texture.

Angels and Demons - Dan Brown


Movie Release date: USA 12/12/08, guess the same day in AU??

Fav. Novel ever!!!! So looking forward to seeing the film, but.... seems Da Vinci Code used out last bit of luck & eventually God get involved this time...
The major shooting scenes in Rome churches were banned by Vatican, Santa Maria del Popolo and Santa Maria della Vittoria won't be in the film... can't image what the film would be like if without them... Maybe using computing special visual effects just like Gladiator???

Considering those awesome creative ideas, I don't really mind the divergences from facts, however, to ppl have faith in Jesus, it must be some humiliated thing if the archbishop allow this anti-catholic author taking his 'mendacious' story, shooting around the sacred places & showing the world how he makes 'Gospels upside down'. While, understandable but still sad... When can I see it? Can the movie beat the novel? I am CRYing to see...@_@ If in my world, there is a god, I will knee & beg with my sincere heart.

Sydney Beaches




Palm Beach, about 14 miles north of Manly (1hr drive) and known as "Palmie," is locally considered the jewel of the northern beaches. Its beautiful remoteness s the reason celebs have chosen to buy holiday homes here, and visitors tend to be equally flush.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Beach,_New_South_Wales
http://www.palmbeachbandb.com.au/palmbeach/maplarge.html - Detailed Map

Manly, about seven miles north of Sydney via a half-hour ferry ride from Circular Quay or by car from the city center, looks and feels like a holiday resort. The Corso, the main street that connects the beach with the harborside ferry wharf, is lined with boutiques and alfresco cafes.

Bondi, Australia's most famous beach, is about four miles from the city center. Finding a parking spot among the surrounding cafes and surf-wear shops is nearly impossible, but if you come early you can stake out a spot on the half-moon of golden sand and settle in for a day of the best swimming, sunning, and people-watching in Sydney.

A mile or so farther south is Coogee, a sort of mini-Bondi that's increasingly popular with the young, good-looking backpacker set. There's not much surf here, so it also attracts families with young children.

ASX - Stock Market Investment Plan 2008

1. Focused on buying stocks that were either performing below the ASX 200, or well below their all time price high. Put $10,000 in each stock (diversification), so that we could maximise any increases/minimise risk.

3. We didn't focus on the price of the stock as we understood that it was the percentage rise of the stock that was important.

4. Buying stocks performing below the market but existing in strong sectors, in the hope that they would realign with the market - energy and retail sectors/core stocks (Note: high profile stocks - experienced good growth, but not extream high ranking, sometims need to take much greater risks)

5. Special Oppotunity in 2008: Invest in sectors/companies that have been oversold due to the global credit crisis and the weakness in the US economy. The sharemarket sell-off spelled opportunities to invest in companies which were trading at a much discounted price.

SaD TaNgO - be a FaN of rAiN

The performance is breathtaking one... try to play & bear the 1st boring 30sec, then you will be paidback by the ever perfect experience... This man (Bi Rain) is from Korean but I was caught off guard by him singing in Japanese, & thanks to the youth in US, language skill is just additional to the young man... you may say the dance is so familiar, yeah, took Usher dancing style, but who cares... (even no one cares about his 'ugly looking' face whereas still be in upper echelons of 'fineness') his talent says everything, to be honest, who can say he is not more attractive than the black buddie... while, i am a fan of both. HEHE...


In this world, hope no one talk about racists & haters any more, no white or black, no asian or curry... but take every piece & bit advantage from all kind of cultures, be grateful, enjoy all sparkling shows & appreciate talented people who delivered the amazing sensation... ♥

The Phantom of the Opera 080515

The story should be familiar to anyone who's love musical/opera: When Christine upstages the diva Carlotta, thanks to the help of the mysterious Phantom who haunts the Opera Populaire, her childhood sweetheart, Raoul woos the girl and, in turn, incurs the wrath of the Phantom.

Quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera represents everything that's perfect with much of today's musical theater. This Broadway stage version seems can delight of every fans of Webber's musical, been so elegant, moved to teas, stands toe-to-toe... much better than Joel Schumacher's film (buying $10 DVD is the most regret thing, so dark & make you violently ill), here say Sorry to MaLi, we suppose to share this together, but you were not here....

Lucky enough to grab tickets to this opening night show, certainly had my efforts rewarded. Without question one of the greatest shows to ever hit the stage - stately and beautiful Ana Marina playing Christina and Anthony Warlow in the title role - an unequivocal veteran to the role, was well at home and commanded each scene in which he was placed. Marina on the other hand, while certainly being beautiful onstage and having an undeniable talent, was visibly newer and, whereas, her young voice was less developed.

The sets are of course superb and a demonstration of the very finest work in modern theatre. Moving constantly from brooding caverns to grandiose ballrooms, lighting and sound are masterfully executed. The technical intricacies of the production compete for your attention on the same level as the cast or anthemic music.

The (08/05/15) performance of Phantom of the Opera was a marvellous night of entertainment in all and certainly would be enjoyed by anyone. With such an astonishing lush aesthetic and talented cast, not forgetting the timeless story and music, its easy to be overwhelmed at many points, I’m sure this will please established fans of the Phantom as well as earning a great many new ones. Would really love to go again before it close, of course, with the one who enjoy this...

9大類淨腸好食物

腸道功能在於幫助食物消化分解後,將不要的廢物排出體外,如壞死細菌、食物殘渣、膽汁分泌物、腸黏膜代謝物等等。但是,現代人因工作繁忙,生活不規律,經常影響正常排便,造成便秘,而未排出的糞便停留體內太久,會發酵產生脹氣、毒素、細菌更可能侵入血液循環系統,使身體負擔加重。因此腸道不乾淨,很容易引起腸道的病變,增加致癌的可能性。

常見症狀警訊

腹痛、腹瀉、便秘、脹氣、消化不良等症狀,這些都是腸道不健康所發出的警訊,可能是平時的飲食習慣所造成的。另外,腸道不健康還會有一些症狀,像是排出惡臭的糞便和屁,皮膚粗糙、口臭、頭痛、肩膀痠痛、易疲勞,倦怠感等現象,不可輕忽。

淨腸食物Look

1. 食物纖維 蕃薯、紅蘿蔔、香菇、無花果、蘋果、蒟弱、筍子、地瓜葉等富有纖維質,幫助腸道蠕動並加速食物移動使糞便早日排出。另外,由於纖維質會在腸道中吸附食物中膽固醇,干擾膽固醇被吸收。

2. 黏性食物 味噌、蘋果、石花菜、髮菜、蘆薈葉肉等黏性及保水性強的多醣類,能吸附膽固醇、膽汁等廢物排出體外,可整腸、消除便秘,防止血糖急速上升。

3. 芝麻 含亞麻仁,而亞麻仁又含有食物纖維及不飽和脂肪酸。纖維可清潔腸道,吸取腸內毒素排出體外,改善便秘,有效預防大腸癌;不飽和脂肪酸可預防動脈硬化。

4. 維生素 可運用維生素來營造有益菌的環境,如維生素B群中的B1、B2、B6有益腸道蠕動;維生素C可增強免疫力;維生素E能調整腸道自律神經。除服用綜合維他命錠外也可從食物中攝取,如五榖類含維生素B群,蔬果多有維生素C,海鮮多有維生素E。

5. 乳酸菌 腸道內壞菌多於有益菌時,容易產生疾病。乳酸菌為體內好菌,維持腸道內菌叢平衡和酸性環境,抑制壞菌並促進蠕動。優酪乳中含乳酸菌,幫助合成維生素。而比菲德氏菌為乳酸菌的1種可活化腸道,某些飲料中有這種菌,購買前可看成分。

6. 發酵食品 像是味噌、紅葡萄酒、納豆等,都具有整腸及提昇免疫力的效果,還能降低糞便的臭味。其中納豆含有某種酵素,能預防心血管疾病。

7. 寡醣 一般超市有賣寡糖,或是洋蔥、香焦、大豆中也含有少量的寡糖,雖人體無法吸收寡糖,但寡糖卻能在腸中被利用,變成腸道內益菌,如比菲德氏菌的營養,幫助保持腸內的清潔,幫助改善便秘,且寡糖更屬於低熱量的醣類,較不易發胖。

8. 啤酒酵母 可抗氧化、抗自由基,並促使碳水化合物變成有能量的B群,並含胺基酸、豐富纖維質,能清潔腸內。一般藥局可購得啤酒酵母錠或啤酒酵母粉。食用前,可依標示說明來服用。

9. 水分 每天必須喝3000cc的水才能讓腸道不乾澀及清腸,且水是最好的溶劑,喝水可幫助體內各種循環,使毒素快速排出,預防便秘

Car Import into Australia - Requirement

There are several steps to privately importing a motor vehicle:

1. Obtain a "VEHICLE IMPORT APPROVAL" from the Vehicle Safety Standards Branch of the Department of Transport and Regional Services. Phone: 1800 815 272 (Australia only) or (02) 6274 7506, Fax: (02) 6274 6013, email: Vimports@dotars.gov.au;
2. Pay Customs duty, GST and Luxury Car Tax (LCT) where applicable and obtain a customs clearance at the port of entry; and
3. Obtain quarantine clearance from the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) after the vehicle has arrived at the port of entry. For more information visit the AQIS website on
http://www.aqis.gov.au/

Because of the various duty rates applicable, and the existence of two valuation regimes depending on whether the car was purchased before or on or after 2 March 1998, a publication, called the Guide to the Importation of Privately Owned Motor Vehicles or Motor Cycle" is available below which clearly describes the process involved and the methods to be used in calculating any duty and tax liability.

Any person may import a motor vehicle or a motorcycle into Australia as directed in the section Motor Vehicle Standards Act detailed below.
If you plan to drive the vehicle on Australia's roads it is essential that you contact the Vehicle Safety Standards Branch before importing the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle can meet the safety requirements and to obtain a permission to import the vehicle.

All privately imported vehicles are subject to the same rates of Customs duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST) and, where applicable, Luxury Car Tax (LCT) as commercially imported vehicles. The Customs duty is based on the Customs value of the vehicle.

The rate of Customs duty payable is that which applies to the particular type of vehicle on the date it is entered for Customs purposes in Australia. GST and, where applicable, LCT applies at the date you import the vehicle into Australia. Without a permission to import, which can be obtained from the Vehicle Safety Standards Branch, a special duty of $12,000 may apply.

As Customs duty varies according to vehicle design and value, and is subject to change, you should contact a Customs office before importing any vehicle into Australia.
Prior to making a decision to import your vehicle you should take into account the costs involved in the process such as: freight, Customs duties and entry processing charges, steam cleaning for quarantine purposes, other wharf and transport charges and any costs involved in having the vehicle meet state or territory registration requirements (whether your vehicle will indeed meet these requirements should be checked prior to importation).

Everyone has their life, but would you say YES to SOLO???

These days, not everyone believed that love should be a warm family, two mutual trust, and lasting happy with children...There is one life style becoming so popular - SOLO, some couples are living seperately & claiming they are AvAiLaBlE, whereas they do have their certain someone special, would you blame?

One of my friends, a cute goodlooking guy, made friend with a rich girl whose family had a lot of money. He told his mother that not to expect any wedding ceremony because he had no idea of how long he would stay with that girl or how many other girlfriends he was having at the same time, the only thing he would care about is fun & short-term enjoyness, of course no worry lifestyle, he would keep fishing, no one could ever be his special one, at least not right now. Another friend of mine said he had a lover who was just a junior student in college. If one of them made a boy/girlfriend, the other will leave the lover and go for a new relationship. I felt really sad and angry when I heard this style of emotion, but they are really happening just beside us & becoming so common. What would I say? I am totally out-of-date!!!

Although I am generation Y, I am still can't understand so-called SOLO & kind of hating these behaviours, NO believed in true love but acting the goat, NO concetion of responsibility in the dictionary any more, people just concerned how to consume and enjoy & the most important thing nowadays becomes worshiping money and freedom, sharing happy, fresh, exciting and beautiful things with the sweethearts, which all go far more ahead of responsibilities. We could image, after the enthusiasm, really nothing left - someone may say that they are still friends after friendly breaking up, but would you believe that in the deep bottom of heart, there is never a place that may hurt a little in the quirte night? Never been a dark memory that make you rush to get rid of your mind? Would you say you never regret about lossing that special someone because you were not care? Well, I would say thats horrible to me, I couldn't resist asking' where is the moral?' Haha, someone might say 'who hell cares?' Wow, so hurt, especially from those ones you love/care.

True love should share every emotion, including happyness and sorrow,exciting and boredom, freshness and weariness, lovers should company each other forever no matter what difficulties they are facing. I believed that true love will eventurally end up with a happy marriage, experience the traditional virtues, it's fully embody the responsibility, which should include tolerance, love, understanding, mutual help, obligation, etc., for long term, planning the future, caring parents, teaching children, even not easy, not beautiful sometimes, but thats the way what life should be, having a thankful heart to enjoy every process, when we get old, we could say, I have experianced all that life could give me & appreciate.

As a person who advocate the traditional virtues, it is just so sad when relationship becomes kind of needs rather than true love. Pls make the life be life, that is: Let's share happiness and woe with our lover instead of avoiding and escaping the obligation and burden.

FINANCE & SAVING

How many times have you heard people say: "I wished someone had told me that when I was young?" Well, here is what all young people and for that matter, most people, who feel uncomfortable about not being more financially comfortable should read. Follow these rules and you'll put yourself in the frame for a comfortable life. You might even wind up rich!

Flick the debt
Simply, you need to become a savvy investor and consumer. You have to avoid being embarrassed by too much debt and you need to be driving with a seatbelt in the fast lane of money.
What do you want?
Success handling money gets down to learning a handful of rules, which will determine whether you end up well-off or in the poor house. Stop for a moment and imagine what you want for yourself as you get older. A car? A house? A happy family? A comfortable life? A wealthy life?
Set for life
Let me give you a tip. The people who have new cars when they are young end up driving bombs later in life. And those who go for a second-hand car when they are young and invest their money often wind up with a house, a new car and overseas holidays later in life.
I recently met an officer in the army who is in his 30s, and because he has lived in army-supplied housing, he used the tax system to help him buy not one, not two, but five houses, which are all rented out. Apart from having a job he loves, he is set for life! Here are rules to practice and get rich by.

Rule one
Write down your goals - if your goals are not written down they are not on the planet!
Rule two
Next, do a budget. I know it sounds boring, but it will tell you an exciting story. It tells you how much you can save and here is my advice - it's probably the best money advice you have heard - pay yourself first.
Rule three
GST your life and take 10% of your pay each week and bank it or invest it, don't spend it! Grow it and it will make you rich. Have a look at these figures - let me put your life to money.
You will work for at least 40 years. Imagine if you average $50,000 a year for your working life, which means you save 10% or $5000 a year.
Over 40 years that gives you $200,000 but if you received say 7% a year return, you would wind up a millionaire. That's the power of compound interest.
Rule four
Have a bank account that your pay goes into and another to pay the 10% into. This should pay a higher interest rate. Right now you can get 8% on bank accounts, but many people are lucky to get 4% on their money! Why? They don't know or won't keep the rules.
As your money builds up you can put it into even better investments, such as a blue chip share portfolio or a great investment property.
Rule five
Make sure you always ask about the extra fees and charges that go with bank accounts, mobile phones and credit cards, which can add up to a big bill each year.
Rule six
Don't become a credit card patsy. Go to www.cannex.com.au and check it out!
You will see some cards charge 17-20% while others are 11-12%. Some charge an annual fee of $35 while others slug you for more than $100. Some give you 55 free days where you don't have to pay back the money, while others hit you from day one. We all use credit cards, so become an expert!
Rule seven
Do a bit of homework on your bills. Live by the motto that every dollar you give away through being undisciplined and slack to others makes you poorer and them richer.
Rule eight
Ask dumb questions to make you a smart consumer and investor. Never pretend you know, simply ask and keep asking until you understand. It's only dumb to pretend you know and end up losing money big time.
Rule nine
Become a tax expert. Some people say it sounds boring, but how can saving money be boring? How excited are you when you find a $100 bill in the street? Being a tax expert will give you lots of $100 bills!
The final rule
Rule 10 says surround yourself with a good accountant, financial adviser, lawyer and even a business coach. This will reduce the chances of making bad decisions and you can benefit from experts' knowledge. They can help reduce your tax, show you smart investments and possibly help you into a business, which can be the source of great wealth. It will cost you but these people, if they are good, save you a lot more than you ever pay them! Here's an example that proves the point: a couple with a $100,000 loan over 25 years wanted to pay it off early, but couldn't afford to pay more each week. So their adviser told them to put their $2000 tax return into their repayments in one go and this cut the loan down by nine years and saved $45,000! The minority in this world end up financially strong and they are the strong people who have kept these rules.
