黑白木耳比一比! 菌中之冠 vs 素中之葷!
> 其實『膠質』和『骨質』在人體內就好比房子的『水泥』和『磚塊』
> 通常一些老化現象都是膠質缺乏才會引發。
> 白木耳是養顏秘方，卻鮮少人知道。
> 人隨著年齡的增長，皮膚內膠質(膠原蛋白)
> 會漸漸流失，然後皮膚漸漸鬆弛，失去彈性。
> 至於如何補充膠質(膠原蛋白)，用擦的是沒用的，因為膠原蛋白是大分子，用擦的只能到表皮層增加皮膚保濕度，無法補充到真皮層失去彈性的肌膚。
> 所以要用吃的補充膠質(膠原蛋白)像是豬腳,
> 雞腳,牛筋,白木耳,燕窩都是富含膠質的食物
> ，如果以現在女性在乎身材為前題，白木耳
> 絕對是補充膠質的最佳食物首選。
> 白木耳富含的植物膠質絕不輸燕窩，之前是
> 聽人家說：『有錢人吃燕窩，沒錢人吃白木耳』。
> 但最近有本雜誌說，辜家二少爺辜仲瑩也是
> 早上吃一碗，煮爛不加糖的白木耳，保養皮膚。
> 所以應該改成：
> 『外行人吃燕窩，內行人吃白木耳』。
> 至於如何煮白木耳：
> 1.去超市買盒裝 "黃"木耳，(! 千萬不要買純白木耳 ,因為純白木耳煮不爛)。
> 2.拿1片去泡冷水泡軟(可先去除底部較黃部份)約30分鐘。
> 3.倒掉前兩次泡黃木耳的水,因為有些腥味。
> 4.然後將黃木耳加水放進果汁機打爛。
> 5.再將打爛的黃木耳放進鍋裡煮約一個小時。(水加多少自己斟酌)
> 6.如何調味也看個人需要。(加龍眼乾紅棗，
> 加蓮子糖水，單加糖水，加蜂蜜，加果糖，
> 或冰糖! ...)
> 一星期煮1片約可吃五天。
> 一天吃一碗，照上面方法，用果汁機打爛黃木耳去煮，會發現：
> 吃起來根本跟外面賣的即食燕窩一模一樣。
> 所以愛美的人，愛美不假手他人，自己來煮
> 白木耳養顏吧!
> 白木耳是一種營養豐富的滋補品，被譽為
> [菌中之冠]，有滋陰補腎，潤肺生津，強心
> 健腦，提神補氣等功能，對陰虛火旺不受
> 參茸等溫熱滋補的病人是一種良好的補品。
> 因其含有天然特性膠質，加上它的滋陰作用
> ，女性長期服用可以潤膚，並有祛除臉部
> 黃褐斑、雀斑的功效。
> 黑木耳味道鮮美，含有豐富的營養素，可與
> 動物性食物相媲美，被譽為[素中之葷]。
> 黑木耳含鐵量極高，是豬肝的5倍，為天然的
> 補血佳品，適宜女性常吃，能養血駐顏烏發
> 、防治缺鐵性貧血。
> 黑木耳中所含膠質具有極強的吸附作用，可以把殘留在人體消化系統內的雜質吸附集中起來排出體外，可以說是'身體清道夫。
> 黑木耳對於中老年人有特別的好處，其中含有的磷脂類化合物，可以幫助延緩記憶力減退及減少老年痴呆症的發生﹔豐富的纖維素能促進胃腸蠕動，減少食物中脂肪的吸收，起到防止肥胖和減肥作用，對冠心病、動脈硬化、心腦血管病頗為有益。
> 從營養上來說，黑木耳更勝一籌，這也契合了最近吃黑色食品的風尚。
> 但吃黑木耳貴在堅持，最好每天都有一道木耳菜，不論涼拌或者炒食都不錯!

Taipei Day 1 - 23/4/2009 Thursday
Taipei here we went...
Reached Taoyuan airport at 6.30pm and we were both hungry to try Taiwan food. Brought a sandwich and 2 bottles of drink (210NT).
Brought GuoKuang bus tickets @ 230NT/pax (return trip) and took the bus at 7pm. The journey was abt 40mins to reach the interchange near Taipei Main Station (TMS).
We took abt 20mins to find Cityinn hotel and the room they gave us was super small! This is a picture of the room i took, standing at the door way.
We headed down to TMS underground after we had found a place to put our luggages in the tiny room. At TMS undergound, there are a few shoe shops selling 1pair of shoes at 200NT and 2pairs at 300NT. Bag shops selling 1bag at 280NT and 2bags at 500NT. Didn't buy anything there on the 1st day. Just looked around. Tried frog layegg drink (30NT) and Ai Yu(35NT). Didn't like either of them.
Luckily we went to buy Hualien tickets on the 1st day. If not maybe cannot get any tickets liao. Actually wanted to buy Taroko Express tickets, but sold out. Hence no choice, brought Tze Chiang tickets @ 801NT/pax (return trip).
We zipped down to Shilin night market after we brought the easycards at the counter in TMS MRT station (500NT/pax).
TMS is REAl big and it is like a maze. We had got lost in there a few times throughout the 7days.
This is Shilin night maket( 士林夜市).
Tried 冬瓜奶茶(20NT), fried sweetpotato balls (30NT), 盐酥鸡(50NT) - All quit NICE!
We walked,ate, shopped, and saw this cute dog...
It was already 12.20am and we only managed to finish half of the night market. We quickly made our way back to Jiantan mrt station to take the last train (12:26am).
While waiting for the train, we spotted another night market which we did not explore on the 1st night. It is known as 公有士林观光市场 which has more food and we shall be back.
By the time we reached TMS, all the underground shops were closed.
As the night was still young, we spent sometimes to figure out the shortest route to the hotel. If you were traveling by MRT/TRA/HSR in Taipei and will be staying at CityInn, you can exit Z6 from TMS undergound. Pls note that the gates of the exits of the stations will be shuttled down after operating hour.

I wish you enough
Another meaningful email...
Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, "I love you and I wish you enough". The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom".They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry.. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?".Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?". "I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said."When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?". She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone". She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. "When we said , 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory...
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
She then began to cry and walked away.They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them.
To all my friends and loved ones, I WISH YOU ENOUGH!

A meaningful email from a friend...
QUOTE " DO NOT LOOK BACK AND ASK WHY, LOOK FORWARD AND ASK WHY NOT"
QUOTE " DO NOT LOOK BACK AND ASK WHY, LOOK FORWARD AND ASK WHY NOT"
A very valuable lesson to learn....
Interesting quote from the movie "Why did I get married?"
In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of
what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship. There is always another person (man or women)
that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is
lacking in your relationship that you WANT. And believe me, 20%
looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current
relationship.
But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that
good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get
something better with the other 20% that you WANT. But as reality
has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the
20% that you WANT and loosing the 80% that you really NEED and that
you already had.
Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.
Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.
"Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her
Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's
also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my
spouse is not"
Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be
more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer.
Have greater sex appeal.. And you will find a woman or man who will
need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse
ever did.
Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only
have 80% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a
husband or wife looks for the missing 20%. Let's say your wife is
melancholic by nature.
You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry
laugh no matter what she says: "I broke my arm yesterday,
Hahahaha . . .."
Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.
But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.
Don't throw away the 80% that you already have!
That's not all. Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.
Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.
But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you
already have.
But I'm not just talking about marriage.. I'm talking about life!
About your jobs.
About your friends.
About your children.
About your lifestyles.
Are you like the econo my airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? "They have got more leg room! Oh my , their food is served in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've
got personal videos!"
I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class -- because they are not riding in a private Lear Jet?
The main message???
If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are,
you are first class!
