Try to do a real project--Honey, Ginger,Pear, Lemon tea

'There is no undo in real life,we have heard it hundreds of times,but I wouldn't understand it so much without playing with my new toy.

My new toy is a set of buckyballs, which are all magnet, so that they can be attached together to make different shapes. It is so fun , as well as a good stress reliever. But it is also annoying , since the magnet is so strong, it is easy to make them jammed together and all my work is destroyed.

Once, when my delicate 'flower' jammed together, and became a mess, to my surprise,  the first thought came to my mind was 'I want to undo'. Then I suddenly realized that there was no 'undo' button here. Yeah,  maybe I spent too much time with computer and I so enjoyed working with those virtual projects, where I can always regret for my choices and make new decisions.

Well, in real life, there is no 'UNDO' button , we all know that, but I still suggest you to try to do some real projects. I am not indoctrinating you how cruel the real life is, the point is even though we screw up and it moves into another direction, it will still have unexpected surprise. We never know, never can make a comparision:

 'Life is weird'

This is the beauty of life, I guess...

Look back one year, a hot chocolate hug--Mexican Hot Chocolate

Today is 9/14, I remember I was somewhere Massachuset enjoying lobster on the same day last year. It feels like happened a lot in the past year, I can't believe it has been only one year. And I laugh at something I said, something I wrote, something I believed in, but I understand the little silly me one year ago, when I was doing those, I already had expected they would be teased later.Like now, it would be awkward to read these in the next year, I guess I would wish I had never ever written those words. But let me worry about this next year.

It is a little early to celebrate my first hot chocolate one -year anniversary, but I don't feel like celebrating my first roast pork tenderloin one-year anniversary, maybe I just can't wait , love it so :)

Hot chocolate has be made from chocolate, but not cocoa powder, that is hot cocoa. Those hot chocolate in restaurants that impresssed you a lot are all made from shaved chocolate but not cocoa.

It is very simple, but will bring you incredible warmth and happiness, like a warm hug with the smell of chocolate :)

Pick up one kind of chocolate you like, bittersweet, dark or milkchocolate . I usually go for bittersweet.

Carefully shave it( besides hot chocolate, it also can be used as the ice cream topping), just use knife or a shaver

Whole milk( no way to be skim milk, fat free milk --it can't be counted as MILK)

Use whisk, carefully stir, mid-heat, not let it boil, just let the chocolate dissolved in the milk.

At the end, the secrete ingredient is Butter, melt in 1/2 tbs butter( unsalted ~~). Neither half &half nor heavy cream, they are too heavy.

As for the flavor, you can use cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate liquor, even spicy. For toppings, whipped cream, marshmallows.

Today what I made is actually a spicy Mexican hot chocolate by using Mexican chocolate taza. if not for hot chocolate, I do not like the texture of Mexican chocolate, it has too much sugar, you can see it there. but it combines all the spicy there, so it's good for hot chocolate.

I really hope it is one of the few things in my blog that my friends would like to try .
