Do you know its name? 知道它叫啥?


I found this bug in our garden this morning. I did some research. The closest I came up is "Husk". So, I just call it Husk Bug. If you know its name, please let me know. Thanks.
今晨在花園看到這隻昆蟲。上網查, 找不到它名叫什麼? 如果您知道, 請告訴我。先謝了。

Birthday Special Dish 豬腳麵線



Today for lunch, I prepared our family traditional birthday dish "Pig Feet Noodle".
Considering cholesterol content, I used pork shoulder as a substitute for pig feet.
We will have Pork Loman (Fried Noodle) for dinner.
Here is a dish of delicious pig feet.
今天午餐我煮了家人生日的「豬腳麵線」。因為豬腳膽固醇高, 我用腿肉代替。
而晚餐則吃豬肉壽麵。
這是一盤香又Q 爛的滷豬腳。

Fruits & Vegetables 蔬菜瓜果



We will have plenty of Bitter Melons this year.
This one was picked too late, it opened up itself. Have to eat it right away.
This time, I cut them into strips and Sun dry them for Bitter Melon tea later.
Start picking Tomatoes too.
This sweet and juicy Long Squash is 15" long.
For dinner tonight, I sauteed it plain. I like to taste its natural flavor. It's very delicious.

今年苦瓜豐收。這個太熟而自行裂開要先吃。
我將其他的苦瓜切成絲片,日曬風乾留待以後泡苦瓜茶喝。
蕃茄已可繼續採來吃了。
這條甜又多汁的長瓜有15"長。單炒它來當今天晚餐的配菜。真好吃!

Look Alike continued 替身揭曉

*Please see post 090715 first. *
Sirtea: Rev. Chuang email said: "Did you receive my comments? I tried several times to post--He is Mayor Ed Koch, not me. What happened to my comments?"
A said to B: "See! I told you. Rev. Chuang is younger and handsomer than NYC Mayor. Besides, he has a gorgeous and beautiful wife by his side."
B: "Ooooh! They really look alike."

*請先看090715一文。*
茶翁: 莊牧師來信說:「有收到我的留言嗎? 我試了好幾次留言--『他是紐約市長, 不是我。』為什麼看不到我的留言呢?」
甲對乙說: 「你看, 我不是告訴你了嗎! 莊牧師比紐約市長年青更英俊多多了。此外, 他身邊還有一位貎美賢慧夫人呢!」
乙: 「噢!兩人真相像。」

Two Counters 兩個計數工具


As of July 21, 2009 1:00AM, these two counters show two different numbers. They used different method of accounting. Just like, for example, political protest assembly in Taiwan; opposition party-DPP claimed 50,000 attendents, KMT Government announced only 10,000 attendents. Which one is correct? Is it possible both right, or both wrong? This happens in our daily life. We have to choose one to believe. Pray that God grant us wisdom to make right choice.

截至2009年7 月21日晨1:00止,這兩個計算噐顯示不同的結果。這兩個工具用兩種不同的計算公式。就以臺灣的抗議遊行為例:民進黨高估說有50,000人參加, 而國民黨政府低估祗有10,000人而已。到底是那一個對, 兩個皆對, 還是兩個都錯呢? 在我們的日常生活中常要選擇一個來作依據。求上帝𧶽我們智慧能作正確的選擇。
