Soup time...

I feel like taking a break from my Internet programming course...

Let's forget about the SMPT/MIME/TCP/IP/Java Swing...

And enter a (future) prgrammer's daily menu...=P

......

So erm...I started my preparation since last night...defroze the meat...

Here's the meat~

(With Photoshop I was able to make it (looks) fresh...though it had been in the fridge over 6 months...ewww)

......

Then it's the ginger...slice them into thin pieces...

I know some people do not like the taste of ginger...

But I don't have any better suggestions...or maybe black pepper?

......

Cut the tomatoes into 4 pieces...well...that really depends on the size of the tomatoes...

Basically the pieces of tomatoes should be a bit bigger than bite-size...

Or they could be any shapes you want...

......

And don't forget sweet corns...

I love them...they are the soul (?!) of the soup...

......

Let's show a reunion of the soup base...

And they are ready to be cooked...XD

......

Put cold water in the soup pot...put meat and ginger into the cold water...

Too little water...and I also need those corns in...

Cover with the lid...turn the heat to median-high...and...start waiting~

......

Tic...tic...tic...hmm...

Time to clean up the floating things...are those proteins or fats?!

So...before vs. after...

Sorry if the "before" picture destroy someone's appertite...

......

After around an hour, go back to you pot from gaming or youtube videos or facebook or AIM...

And you can put in those tomatoes now...(finally)

Let it cook for another 20 minutes...the soup will start turning into some delicious orange color...

Do not cook too long with the tomatoes otherwise they are going to dissolve...=(

......

And...here we go!

Finished...(wondering why the soup water level is so low?...because I took my serve before taking this picture~)

......

In addition, mix vege stir fry with chicken breast...

Plus a bowl rice and some fresh grapes...that made my brunchinner!

......

Thanks for watching~Enjoy~

Hmm...this is the new blog I created recently:

Blue Bird...

So...according to the market needs, a commercial blog should be in English...or that's mandatory!?

I guess I will just occasionally put up some English blog entries in order to keep someone's interests...

<My Love Journey 1km> by Valen Hsu

I can't pull myself off from her voice...I love the lyrics, the song, the story behind scenes...that I can imagine...

Very very soft and...blue...and I like blue...

Hah...this looks like my hair style...hmm...

......

I only got less than 4 hours sleep in a 72-hour period this week...

Well...plus an hour in my algorithm class...Yin was not making the class interesting so I fell asleep soon as he started his lecture...

Then I just felt so sleepy today after I woke up from a 10-hour sleep...

I didn't even feel that the night before...

So yea...fell asleep again...this time in Dmitry's class...ignoring the MIPS...ignoring the ALU...ignoring whatever whatever whatever...

I do miss Jason's lecture...he seems like a cool person to talk to...and he is a pro programmer...that's all we need!

PS I Love ACM...=P

......

I really don't like someone in my class...actually he is in 3/5 of my classes...

I invited him to ACM last night, and he said he does not want to go...

"I don't want to look dumb in front of people...I probably got nothing...and people will tease me behind my back..."

"I will only go when I am ready to rock...I want to be smart..."

Okay...if that's what he wants, then he deserves nothing...people are not going to think he is smart anyways...

I really think the only way to prove one's intellgence is by one's works, not one's words...

......

It's getting colder and colder these days...I feel like winter will cut the line and come before fall does...

Feel like travelling to some foreign places...some warmer places...
