蘭花開

幾年來不同時侯不同地方買回來的蘭花只開了一次就沒有再開。今年突然一齊開。係唔係象徵好0既一年呢！

The Fish House

Found a good place to have a drink and something to eat after work. The Fish House at Woodbine and John. For all the above, escargot, Halibut Fingers, Vineyard Salad, Chicken Wings, fresh bread plus a glass of white wine and a glass of beer was only $34 (at Happy Hour pirce b4 7 p.m.). Guess what, the salad was the most expensive, $5.99. Even the escargot was only $4.99.

Spring Blues

It's sooooo depressing. The new house closing is deferred again to May 31. Hope there is no more delay. Practically nothing to do at home in the small apartment. Well, it is not really that small but with all the furniture and boxes around, there is hardly any room to move around. Just watching TV and web surfing. All my hobbies and interests within the house are put aside. Like yoga, pilates, dancing, karaoke, chinese calligraphy, sewing etc.

Blueberry Muffin

My Dietician gave me this recipe.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1 cup nonfat milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesause (you can substitute with banana)
1 egg
2/3 cup brown sugar (use less sugar if desired)
1/2 teaspoon vanila extract (I used Almond extract instead, up to you)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries

Directions:

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease muffin cups or use paper muffin liners. Mix together wheat bran and milk, and let stand for 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, mix together applesauce, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat in bran mixture. Sift together all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir into bran mixture until just blended. Fold in bludberries. Scoop into muffin cups.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly tapped. (or pierce with a toothpick and it comes out clean.)

My dietician also said, for a more healthy version, sprinkle some bran bud (pysillium added) or salba www.sourcesalba.com/index1.php into the mixture before baking.
