Turkey For Thanksgiving

2012-11-17T03:05:00.000-08:00

This turkey is semi traditional, the reason i said it's semi traditional is because normally you prepare everything then put it in the oven for hours to cook without peeking, because the heat will reduce when opening the oven. The way i cook this turkey you can peek many times and add things in, but i promise this will be the most moist turkey you have ever had, and the flavor will let you crave for more!!

這隻火雞是類似傳統的烤法,我說他是類似傳統烤法的原因是通常傳統的火雞當你準備好配料就送進烤箱裡面烤個幾個小時但是中間不能打開來偷看,因為這樣烤箱裡面的熱氣會跑掉. 我烤的方法是你可以偷看很多遍還可以加配料進去,但我向你保證,這隻火雞將會是你吃過最多汁鮮美的,而且這個美味會讓你想要持續地品嘗著!!

This is a reference chart for you to determine the time from the weight.

這個表格供時間與重量參考

Chart is from ButterButterball website. 重量以及時間參考取自於Butterball網站

The turkey i use is 20lb, it takes 5 hours to cook

我用了一隻20lb的火雞,20lb須用5小食烹烤

Tools you need: Thermometer, baster, long handle brush.

你需要的工具: 溫度計, 吸湯具,長手把刷子

Crack open every garlic and left two whole complet garlic just to cut the sides for more flavor boost, and then prepare the rest sides into big cubes.

把大蒜壓扁撥開來留兩個完整的切邊邊就好了好讓味道更出來,接著把所以的配料切成大方塊面積.

Lemon Zest 檸檬皮

Sauce: 3tbs diced garlic, 8oz melted butter, 1 cup lemon juice, 1tbs lemon zest, 1tsp salt, 1/2 tbs black pepper, 1/2 tbs sugar.

Glazed the whole turkey, but don't use it all at once because you will need to reglaze little by little every half hour.

醬料: 3tbs蒜頭丁, 8oz融化的奶油, 1杯檸檬汁, 1tbs檸檬皮, 1tsp鹽, 1/2 tbs黑胡椒, 1/2tbs糖.

將醬料塗上整隻火雞,但不要一次用完你每半小時需要繼續塗上醬料.

Stuff some radish, butternut squash, carrot, onion, garlic and some sause in to the turkey stomach, place the rest onion and garlic by the side and you are ready to roast in oven. (leave the rest ingredients we are going to add on 1 hour after so when it's done it wont be too soft.)

塞食材進去火雞肚裡面,食材有蘿蔔(紅色圓的),奶油瓜,紅蘿蔔,洋蔥,大蒜還有一些醬料在火雞肚子裡面,然後將剩下的洋蔥大蒜都放在旁間就可以進去烤箱烤了. (留著剩下的食材,因為我們將要在一小時以後才加進去這樣烤完以後才不會變得太過軟)

After 30 minutes reglazed the whole turkey with the sause, and then use foil to wrap the wings so it won't burn.

半小時過後將整隻雞均勻塗上醬料,然後用鋁箔紙將翅包起來這樣才不會烤焦.

After 30 minutes reglazed the whole turkey with the sause again, and then use foil to cover the turkey so it won't burn when it's done. Foil remain covered at all process. Add in the rest ingredients.

30分鐘過後將整隻雞均勻塗上醬料,然後用鋁箔紙蓋在上面這樣等完全烤好才不會烤焦. 鋁鉑紙全程蓋著烤. 把剩下來的食材全部加進去

Reglazed the whole turkey with the sause every 30 minute until it's completely done.

每30分鐘就將整隻雞均勻塗上醬料直到全部完成烤好

Remove the foil from the wing, also glazed the whole turkey 1tbs of honey evenly. cover back the foil for the last 30 minutes prevent burning.

把雞翅上的鋁箔紙移除掉並且均勻的整隻刷上1tbs蜂蜜. 再蓋上鋁箔紙烤最後的30分鐘以防烤焦.

To make sure it's done, use the thermometer to check the temperature. Thermometer tip should be placed in thigh it should be reached 180°F (not drumsticks)

即將烤完時用溫度計確認溫度,溫度計該放在大腿肉確認是達到82°C (不是雞腿肉)

Done!!

完成!!

I forgot to take the sliced turkey picture, after 5 hours roasted in oven and smells so good makes me rushing to dig in. This recipe that i invented does not disappoint me every time it is tender, juicy and crispy every single time. So Yum!!

我忘了照切出來之後的照片,在烤箱裡面烤了五個小時香味一直在誘惑著讓我一烤完就想要馬上享用了. 不過我研發的這個食譜真的是沒有讓我失望,我每次煮每次都香嫩多汁還有脆皮的外表真的很棒.

Salmon Caviar Deviled Eggs

2012-11-08T14:05:00.001-08:00

This is a pleasant dish for serving appetizer not only it looks exquisite and beautiful but also delicious. It is also great for party, I'm sure you guess will love you when you make this. To make this dish is as simple as you see how i did on the pictures, I simply just add every ingredients mix all together and squeeze on the half eggs. Let's start to make one!!

這是一道非常適合用再當前菜用的餐點,他不只精緻漂亮嚐起來也非常的美味. 這也是一道非常適合給Party用的小餐點,我相信你做這道餐點你的客人們會愛上你. 做這道菜就如圖說明的這麼簡單,你只要把所有的食材加在一起攪拌均勻接著加在半圓的蛋上面即可. 那我們就一起開始做這道菜吧!!

Ingredients:

5 Eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tbs lemon juice
2 tbsp chives (1tbsp for mix in, 1tbsp for garnish)
2 oz smoked salmon
1/4 black peper
2 oz salmon caviar

食材：

5顆蛋
1/3杯美式酸奶 (如圖: Daisy sour cream)
1tbsp美乃滋
1/2 tbs檸檬汁
2 tbsp細香蔥 (1tbsp是給攪拌進去, 1tbsp是最後灑在上面)
2 oz 煙薰鮭魚
1/4 黑胡椒
2 oz 大顆鮭魚卵

Dice the smoke salmon to tiny pieces

把煙薰鮭魚剁碎

Place the eggs in the pan and add water till cover all the eggs then cook until it's broil then turn off let it sit for 15 minutes, then pour the hot water off and add cold water for 2 minutes. Peel off the eggshells then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks carefully to a bow then smash them.

把蛋放在鍋子裡加水至覆蓋所有的蛋, 接著煮至滾再關掉火等個15分鐘把熱水倒掉加進冷水等兩分鐘. 再來把蛋殻剝掉然後直行的切蛋,把蛋黃輕輕取出放到碗裡壓碎.

Mix all the ingredients together sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, smoked salmon, black peper then mix well.

把所有食材都加進去美式酸奶, 美乃滋, 檸檬汁, 細香蔥, 煙薰鮭魚,黑胡椒攪拌均勻.

You can simply use a spoon and scoop one on each eggs, or you can do like i did using the pastry bag.

TIPS!!! Dont want to wash or throw away the pastry bag every time you use it? I have a brilliant idea of how to make it cleanly. Basically using a long saran wrap place on the table and put the stuffing (or icing) in the middle make it a long shape, take two sides and start to fold thinly layer by layer like folding paper.

你可以簡單的用湯匙搖到蛋上,或者是你可以像我一樣用擠花袋擠.

小撇步!!! 每次用完擠花袋不想洗或者是丟掉可惜嗎? 我有一個很聰明的小撇步教你們怎麼乾淨的是使用它喔. 把保鮮膜長長的放置在桌上,然後把料(或者是奶油霜)放在中間捏成長長的一條接著像折紙張一樣細細地一層一層折起來.

Place the one you make in the pastry bag, pull out the other end and measure the length and cut it refold upwards so you can twist and tight them.

放進擠花袋裡面把另一邊開口拉出來量一下長度剪掉,然後打開反折上去這樣鎖緊之後就不會亂跑了.

Now you have a pastry bag you can maintain it cleanly also you can use it for many times. Great tips for saving money right? :)

現在你可以有一個乾淨的擠花袋而且還可以用好多次,是不是一個很實用而且又省錢的小撇步啊? :)

Squeeze on swirly on each egg.

用畫圓的方式擠上每一顆蛋.

Sprinkle some black pepper on and garnish with chives.

Voila!! You are done!!

Isn't it beautiful~ hope you enjoy it.

灑上黑胡椒和細香蔥

搭啦!! 完成啦!!

是不是很漂亮呢~ 希望你也很享受在其中.

Happy enjoying ~ ❤

Greek Cuisine With Tzatziki Sauce

2012-11-05T18:42:00.000-08:00

So, the other day i was outside dinning in Greek restaurent. There's a Greek sauce that is killing me delicious that i got to ask the Chef how to make this delicious Greek sauce. And here's how the Chef told me how to make this Tzatziki sauce.

前些天我在一間希臘餐廳吃飯的時候嚐到了一盤他們希臘的醬料. 這個醬料實在是太好吃了我整個就是在放煙火般的嚐著. 所以我一定要問問他們的廚師看這醬料是怎麼做出來的, 以下就是希臘廚師教我的Tzatziki醬料.

Ingredients: plain Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, lemon, salt & pepper, garlic.

食材: 希臘憂格(原味不甜),小黃瓜,蒔蘿(dill),檸檬,鹽跟胡椒,大蒜.

First, drain the extra liquid from the yogurt for 2 hours. I use the coffe filter to drain, you can also use paper towel.

首先將憂格多餘的水瀝掉. 我用的是咖啡濾紙,你也可以用紙巾瀝也行得通.

Take out the cucumber seeds that way you won't have too much liquid. Then shred them, put a little bit salt to bring out the water for 20 mins.

把小黃瓜的籽取出這樣混合起來才不會太稀. 接著切碎小黃瓜放一些鹽等個20分鐘讓裡面的水再出來更多.

Last, Place every ingredients in Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, lemon, salt & pepper, garlic and mix them well and you are done.

最後把所有的食材放進去,希臘憂格,小黃瓜,莳萝(dill),檸檬,鹽跟胡椒,大蒜然後攪拌均勻就完成了.

The Tzatziki sauce i will go with the Pita bread. Simply just fry them with butter and garlic sprinkle on a little bit of salt.

我會用皮塔餅(Pita bread)配這個Tzatziki醬料,用奶油跟蒜頭煎煮到黃金色灑上一點鹽巴.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here's how i make the whole dinner.

接著是我怎麼完成我的晚餐.

Ingredients for the rice: Chicken broth, cilantro, parsley, dill, garlic, and butter.

煮飯的食材: 雞湯,香菜,parsley,蒔蘿(dill),蒜頭,奶油.

Pour one can of chicken broth to the 2 cup rice, and the rest ingredients then cook.

After the rice is cooked, sprinkle some chopped cilantro in and stirred and the rice is done.

加上一罐雞湯進去兩杯米接著加上所有的食材下去煮.

米煮好了以後加上新鮮切碎的香菜攪拌即完成.

Season the steak with salt and pepper then fry.

Halloween Pumpkin Carving

2012-10-24T00:33:00.000-07:00

萬聖節要到了跟著我來刻一個南瓜燈籠吧~~萬聖節快樂 :)

Halloween is here let's make a jack o' lantern~~ Happy Halloween :)

我一剛開始每一年看美國人的家裡外面都有擺設刻著鬼臉的南瓜燈籠,

很難以置信想說這麼難還可以刻的這麼好看不會斷掉嗎？

也太厲害了吧有一年就決定要來刻一個看看是有多難,
才發現這是可以完成的一件事情而且很好玩喔!!

我們一起來完成它吧!!

Every year when close to Halloween I saw lots of spooky jack o' lantern placing outside of every American's house, wondering how do people did that without braking the pattern off from the pumpkin. Then one year I deiced to try to carve a pumpkin myself and see how hard it is to make one,

i realized it is actually achievable and it's really fun!!

Let's make it happen!!

這裡就是南瓜園,同時你也可以在這裡購買南瓜. 每一年他們都會佈置一個這樣的場地提供你參觀購買. 不需要任何的入場費用. 你可以帶小朋友來這裡玩,裡面有好玩的鬼屋,外面還有迷你馬,當然可以跟這麼多的南瓜照張相留個紀念也可以買一些南瓜回去當裝飾.

This is the Pumpkin patch, where i pick up my pumpkins. Themes are set up every year for you to shop also having fun in there plus it's free admission. You can bring your kids for an adventure to haunted house, poney ride, taking pictures with lots of pumpkins and of course pumpkin shopping.

有很多種形狀的南瓜,你可以先挑好你想要刻上去的圖案再去挑選南瓜. 挑選南瓜不需要都挑很完美圓潤的,你可以挑個奇形怪狀的來呈現你的南瓜燈籠效果也會很突出喔

Lots of different shapes of pumpkins, you can first decide the pattern you want to carve then go pick a unique one. Don't have to be the perfect shape, sometime people will choose a unique shape to create a distinctive one.

不只有大的南瓜還有這些小的南瓜可以當裝飾, 是不是也很可愛阿.

Not only the big pumpkins these are the small ones, you can have these to decorate.

Aren't they adorable.

這些範本是我準備要刻在南瓜上面的圖案,還有一些雕刻的小工具我在Target超市買的,裡面還有很多的南瓜圖騰範本可以挑選還有說明書,不過如果你都不喜歡這些也可以去網路上面收尋你想要的圖案刻都可以

These are the patterns i am going to carve on my pumpkin, and the tools are the pumpkin carving stencils. This is the Kit i bought at Target, it comes with all the instructions inside the book and some examples of the patterns, or you can also go online to search for the pattern you want to cave on your pumpkin.

我們開始吧, 首先用刀子在蒂的周圍切一個方形, 接著把裡面的籽都清掉,

用長得像湯匙的小工具把裡面”牆壁“刮平

Let's begin. First, use knife to cut a square around the stem, then pull out all the seeds, use the scraping tool to smooth out the "wall" inside.

把紙張減小一點,然後在邊邊的地方剪個幾條直線進去好方便折.接著用膠帶粘上南瓜.

用小工具附有的尖尖戳洞把圖型刻出來.

Cut the pattern to a smaller sheet of paper then cut the corner straight in to make it easy to fold. Then stick it on pumpkin using tape.

Use the pointy stencil tool to poke out the pattern.

用小鋸齒的工具慢慢的刻出形狀

(注意記得要慢慢刻不然很容易就會刻斷)

Use the stencil knife to slowly carve out the patterns.

(Make sure you do it slow so you won't cut off the design.)

完成!!

Done!!

This is my jack o' lantern Years ago. 這是我之前做的南瓜燈籠

就這樣你們知道怎麼刻南瓜燈籠啦,試看看吧很好玩喔!! 刻完會很有成就感

Now you know how to carve a jack o' lantern, you can have your own, try it!! It's really enjoying.

Happy Carving, and of course Happy Halloween!! ❤

MILK

2012-10-11T16:58:00.000-07:00

MILK是一間很有名的甜點冰淇淋的店,

店面位於

7290 Beverly Blvd.

Los Angeles, CA 90036

這一間MILK隨時隨地去都有很多人在排隊,他的吸引力是很迷人的. 很多好萊塢的明星們都無法抗拒他們的美味, 而且在很多的雜誌上面也有介紹到這間MILK. 就連Louis Vuitton他們自己的雜誌裡面也忍不住要介紹這間MILK. 說不定下次去也可以遇到哪位大明星也不一定 :)

MILK曾獲得(Yelp) 2010年來洛杉磯一定要去的美食店

他們也很有巧思的把Cupcake做成像冰淇淋的樣子真的很可愛

MILK裡面served的不只有冰淇淋而已, 他還有很多種口味的三明治,湯還有莎拉,也有專們為小朋友準備的小餐點. 所以去到那裡不用怕還沒有吃東西就直接吃冰了.

飲料也是很多種類, Espresso, Coffe, Tea, Ice blanded and more

甜點類的話就是餅乾,杯子蛋糕,美式布丁, Apple on a stick.

接著著重點來了!! MILK最有名的就是這個冰淇淋了. 特別的地方是外面是用馬可龍包住著整個冰淇淋,味道相當的好. 不會太甜太膩,我還蠻驚訝的,因為通常美國的甜點們都是超級甜超級膩的.大概吃個幾口就會想要停止吃了. 不過這個馬可龍冰淇淋並不會,他的口感很清爽綿密,表皮又有微脆的馬可龍包覆著相當的好吃.

如果喜歡直接吃一球一球冰淇淋的話他們也可有另外直接是冰淇淋本人,看你想要裝在杯子裡面,還是ice cream corn裡面的都可以. 他們還有一小桶一小桶的冰淇淋包裝你可以選自己喜歡的口味帶回家冰著,隨時想要吃就可以享受到好吃的冰淇淋了.

我那天點的是西瓜口味的Ice cream sandwich, 口感真的很棒. 我在猜他應該是用真正的西瓜做出來的,不然如過是人工西瓜口味的話不可能這麼好吃的. 很像在吃新鮮的冰西瓜包馬可龍哈～

趕快去試看看吧!! 吃完這間還可以去比佛利山莊Beverly Hills 逛逛喔
就在隔壁而已很近.但必須得開車才會到. Happy eating~ ❤

A Beautiful Room Make Over

2012-10-05T13:29:00.000-07:00

A Room make over is easy and it's inexpensive at the same time, you'll just need to know where to go get these small renovation produces.

These small changes will transform the whole look of your bedroom at the same time you are still in your budget.

Before all of these small renovation produces, my room just look as plan as a white empty room. The room looks clean but just lack of some color splash to spice up the color combination.

And then i decide to change the whole look of my room to make it cozy, the color combination i choose are Turquoise and Purplish Pink, these two colors are my most favorit colors, and they go so well together.

First, i pick up a Turquoise duvet set in Target it was $99.90, but i got it on sale at $59.99 which is a really good deal of that. The pattern looks settle and splash clean at the same time, not too busy, just right!! Gives me a bubble feeling and want to jump right in.

The Second thing i pick up are the lamp set at the Homegoods. I have to say Homegoods stores are my favorit place to go for my home interior stuff and kitchen gadgets. They have tons of "home goods" you can mix and match with what you have at home. The price is also looking good too, they almost have everything 40% off or even 50% off sometimes. Also the merchandise goes so fast they almost have new things everyday every time you shop there. So i pick up this Turquoise lamp set with the crystal setting to match me bed color.

Last but not least, I got this soft and beautiful flower painting with gold accents words. I also bought this beautiful painting at the Homegoods store, but this is not a easy one, i waited for quite sometime to find my perfect painting that i will look at it everyday and love it every time i see it. I was planning to get three medium size painting to across the wall above the bed. But it is too hard to get a matching three paintings and beautiful at the same time, i am still searching it :) I am so happy that i end up getting this oversize soft and beautiful painting to hang above the wall. and it also makes it look like i had a head borad. This oversize painting balance out everything together and makes it a grand room.

This is for my winter time bedroom, i know the light Turquoise will even give the cold feeling, it actually won't. It feels more like summer warmth, but hey who doesn't love summer time all that vivid color.

Even my dog loves to stay in my bed. It's a she, her name is Chewy :) She gets so exciting every time i let her up on my bed, i guess she really like the new renovation.

Another color splash i got for this summer is this yellow cover sheet and some pillow to go with it. But this time when i pick up the colors, i pick from what i have on the painting to match everything and make it a whole look. You can also pick from your favorit pieces and make it your color combination.

You dont want to put too many colors in because it will give it too busy. So, i choose the yellow cover sheet, this color match the gold accents on my painting, they will match together and make it flow.

The gold pattern on my pink pillow is also match the painting gold accents words. So now everything goes together and every color flows, that makes another feeling of the room. Just by color changing gives you a whole different look of another bedroom, seems like i have two completely different room, but the things i use are just easy to change.

So now you can get an idea of where i get all these goodies at, and if i can do it you can do it too, trust yourself let's make your own room the happiest place. :)

My sleeping beauty girls enjoy my bedroom too, good night everyone. ❤

生菜蝦鬆的翻版生菜鮪魚鬆

2012-10-04T14:35:00.000-07:00

最近喜歡吃一些少油, 少鹽, 多纖維的食物

我用鮪魚帶替了蝦子來做這道菜, 這道菜算是物盡其用的一道.

家裡面有什麼食材就用了這樣一來可以不用為了想要吃一道菜的味道這樣的東奔西跑的
回家還要做出這些料理, 這樣的物盡其用的短短幾分鐘就可以作出類似的佳肴
還不錯可以試看看

預備食材:

小黃瓜

蘋果

鮪魚罐頭

Yogurt

兩顆水煮蛋

Celery一小條

Rice Krispies

生菜萵苣-忘了照

我用Rice Krispies取代了油條

先把Celery切成一半

接著切丁

小黃瓜先切片然後再切成條狀

蘋果也是先切片然後再切成條狀的


水煮蛋切丁

Tips: 我的方法是先將水跟蛋都放在一起然後滾了以後煮個十分鐘就好了

水跟蛋一起放著煮的原因是如果等水滾了以後再放雞蛋進去雞蛋比較容易破裂

因為水溫滾燙的關係加上雞蛋是密閉的很容易炸開來

水跟蛋一起煮這樣一來就會有光滑亮麗的水煮雞蛋啦!!

把所有的材料放在一起加上黑胡椒攪拌

我使用了Yogurt代替了沙拉醬吃沙拉通常都會覺得是蔬菜低卡路里也很健康

但是如果加上的醬料是油油的沙拉醬那其實熱量還是很高的

Yogurt的口感跟沙拉醬很像又很健康可以幫助腸胃蠕動是很不錯的選擇喔!

盛盤 Enjoy!! ❤

Rice Krispies是最後要吃的時候撒在上面的這樣就有脆脆的口感

兩朵生菜鮪魚鬆能夠吃得很清涼很爽口也不會有負擔

飽足感也很夠蔬菜,水果,魚都有均衡到

製作也很簡單快速

Try it out!! :)
