面包

很怀念家乡的面包。从网络上看到了做面团的食谱，自己尝试烘面包。不算成功：热时还挺不错，冷了就变得有点粘。不象面包店卖的，软软的，冷了还很好吃。

No, this is not turning into a cooking blog, I assure you I will spare you from gastronomical horrors here. But I can't help posting this up, especially for Bing. Ha ha. Got the bread dough recipe from a fellow 'countrywoman' - a 'full time working mother' who's into baking a lot. Cannot help but drool at those delicious pictures she posted and so I tried it myself this morning. But it's barely presentable. The bread surface was rather hard, and although nice when eaten warm, when cooled, it got a little gluey. Of course I modified her recipe a little, like replacing milk powder and water with fresh milk and water - I am not going to buy one whole can of milk powder for this! Will I try again? Well, I need to take a break first.

A Walk in the Garden

最近爱丁堡的天气变幻莫测，一会儿晴天，一会儿细雨绵绵，甚至下了一下子的雪。风又刮得很强很冷。加上我也懒洋洋的，所以没有去什么地方，也没什么有趣的事好记录的。礼拜一看天气还不错，虽然仍旧很冷，我们还是‘全副武装’出去走走。只是去了城堡附近的花园，拍了几张照片：

回到家后，脸颊红润润的：

Lately I have not been very active in updating blog, apart from the general lethargy, it is also due to the Edinburgh weather, which has been and still is very capricious. The wind was especially strong, and chilling. It even snowed, though only a little. Finally on Monday, we decided to brave the cold weather (weather forecast said it was 2⁰C and felt like -4⁰C) - at least there was sunshine. Nowhere adventurous, just went up to the castle and walked down the little hill through a gate on the side of the castle that was closed the first time we went there. Above are some pictures.

打破沙锅问到底

最近靖恒问问题时开始爱用“为什么”。我和建明也开始越来越多的‘哑口无言’。。。
