Trout in a parcel – Little Paris kitchen

ChefCouscous's avatarSavoir Vivre -> 活学活用

My favorite fish: Trout (鳟鱼)

Like all tasty fishes, trout has many tiny bones which is quite messy to eat. My french colleague saw me spitting bones frequently throughout the meal, taught me the smart French way: use a knife to cut the fish skin into half from head to tail, peel open the body, break the fish skeleton from the tail, then pull it out from the body along with all the tiny bones hidden in the flesh.

The Little Paris Kitchen”

This pretty chef-cum-cookbookwriter Rachel Khoo (Malaysian chinese Khoo 邱 father & Austrian mother) was trained at Paris “Le Cordon Bleu” Cuisine:

Asparagus 芦笋

ChefCouscous's avatarSavoir Vivre -> 活学活用

Very interesting!

You notice how your urine stinks after eating asparagus? I said well I never thought it was what I ate but yes it does have a pungent odour. It is because it is detoxifying your body of harmful chemicals!!!

Asparagus — Who knew?

THE ARTICLE:

Several years ago I met a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had cancer. He gave me a copy of an article, entitled “Asparagus For Cancer” printed in the Cancer News Journal, December 1979. I will share it here, just as it was shared with me: I am a biochemist, and have specialized in the relation of diet to health or over 50 years.

Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. that asparagus might cure cancer. Since then, I have worked
with him on his project. We have accumulated a number of favourable case histories.

福建话朗诵李白唐詩

Chinoiseries2014's avatarChinoiseries 《汉瀚》[中/英/日/韩/法]

台湾閩南語(新加坡福建话)朗誦 / 語译

很难得有老爸教儿子读唐诗, 用方言而不是学校的国语 (普通话/华语) !

闽南读法分“文读“和”白读“两种:

1) 文读: 文纠纠地读文章, 书信的读音

[Video 03:55 mins]

2) 白读: 平时家里, 街头口语读音

江 : [gang] 也读[ gong]

小学时帮”文盲”的外公写信给留学英国的阿姨, 他用福建话(白读)口述大意, 我用华文写信。他要我读一遍给他听, 我就很自然的用”文读”法读出来。外公很尊敬”读书人”, 毕恭毕敬地替外孙拿纸笔 (以前古人是要磨墨的)。

养生6大穴位

闻名的”经络锻炼法”只须用最重要的三大穴, 管上下全身 :
1. 合谷
2. 内关
3. 足三里

ChefCouscous's avatarSavoir Vivre -> 活学活用

1 合谷穴: “面口合谷收”, 面部, 口以上的病痛都可按此穴。
头痛, 牙疼, 黑眼圈, 打嗝, 喉疼, 便秘。

2 百会穴: 百”岁”穴。按摩法:

3 内关穴: 身体把关, 百病不侵。

内关与合谷同样治打嗝 (hiccup):

打嗝是因为气逆造成膈肌痉挛引发的。打嗝算不上病,但是嗝起来还是挺难受。想必大家都受过打嗝之苦。这就关系到内关穴的另外一个妙用了,我们知道内关穴有益气安神、治疗心脏病的功效,却往往忽略了和胃降逆宽胸理气之功。这也是内关穴治打嗝灵验的奥秘所在。

4 足三里穴 (长寿穴)

5 神阙穴 (肚脐): 双手搓热。 左手下右手上, 叠放于肚脐上,逆时针揉转 (男子相反)。5-10分钟。
