9 hours ago 媽媽, 月子 Leave a comment
台灣月子餐遠近馳名，就連多倫多的華人圈在短期內已有數家大大小小的月子餐提供，在一個風和日麗的早晨，我與加華月子餐的負責人Elaine有了一段美好的時光，浸淫在料理的芬芳美味，我們進行了一場色香味俱全的訪問。
甫一進門，迎接我的是Elaine的先生，笑容可掬又真誠，帶我來到他們一起努力的小天地。接著就聽見Elaine與助手Jessie歡樂的笑聲充斥廚房，撲鼻的食物香氣迎面而來。Elaine穿著圍裙不忘給我一個大大的擁抱，此時餐桌上已經擺滿七八道的月子餐。Elaine說，她就是這樣開始每一天，準備客戶每一天所需要的營養餐點，每一口都有Elaine的愛在其中。
“如果不是為了滿足老公刁鑽的嘴，我也不會如此嚴格要求自己”
Elaine笑著說，眼裡還有對先生甜蜜的愛意，迄今成立月子餐不過兩年，先生對Elaine的支持與讚美，是Elaine越做越快樂，越做越開心的最大支持。當初Elaine在中國也是世界五百強企業的品管主管，一日嫁做人婦，洗手作羹湯就是她心甘情願地奉獻，卸下脂粉的Elaine有著美麗的臉龐與嬌羞的神情，她告訴我，能夠讓先生每天吃到幸福的手藝，就是她最開心的事。
“無心插柳的朋友鼓勵，讓她激起更多的愛心去照顧辛苦的孕婦與媽媽”
因為一次義務性幫忙，Elaine的朋友不僅對她感謝有加，無微不至的關懷以及營養滿點的月子餐，讓朋友對她豎起了大拇指，”何不試試看經營月子中心與月子餐呢?”於是那小小的願望萌發成一個造福母親的職志。以台灣的廣和月子餐為基底，Elaine再根據中國不同背景文化的媽媽胃口酌量調整，輔以中醫師專家背書，所以才有今天的加華月子餐。
“吃過後在心裡留下什麼樣的感覺才是最重要的價值”
先簡單介紹一下月子餐內容吧，主餐有養生排毒紅糙米飯，青菜則是補血養肝綠菠佐紅杞，肉類補充蛋白質的有紅燒雞翅佐天津栗子，富含DHA的香煎三文魚佐楓糖。讓人食指大動的甜品有潤肺滋陰紫銀甜羹，日式山藥泥佐紫薯，南洋風情紅豆糕佐核桃片，台式低糖去水腫紅豆湯以及金黃粒粒南瓜羹。此外一些其他的配菜有營養蛋餅佐紅茄，翠綠西蘭佐靈芝，青玉蘆筍，並配有香菇烏骨雞湯與生化湯為產婦補充體力。
◎由左至右分別為：南洋風情紅豆糕佐核桃片、烏骨雞湯佐紅棗以及潤肺滋陰紫銀甜羹。
◎由左至右分別為：日式山藥泥佐紫薯，營養蛋餅佐紅茄與金黃粒粒南瓜羹。
◎點心水果大集合!
◎淡雅口味恬靜坐月。
能有幸親自吃到這些美味食材的產婦們真是有福了。我因工作之便也能淺嚐一二即知Elaine在烹飪上的細心。此外Elaine為人謙遜有禮，我看著她與助手的互動非常融洽與歡樂，難怪在她的料理中可以吃出讓人喜悅的心情。
◎大廚有約。
看著Elaine，我想我能理解她所提供的，不是商品，而是真心。

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Continuing to be a leader in online content delivery, Lipscomb Athletics will air five Friday night volleyball contests on ESPN 3 direct from the on-campus production suite in Allen Arena this fall.
Nonetheless, the law is worth celebrating. It sets a bar in shark conservation and protection measures, especially for poorer countries. Of all the places on both of the above lists, only the EU and Ecuador are as aggressive. Plus, with big shark-fishing countries like India, the United Kingdom, France, Portugal and Spain now requiring fins attached, 22.3% of the world’s shark catch is pretty much guaranteed to be humaneâand last year, that percentage was zero.

Tampa manager Joe Maddon may have been trying to summon a breakthrough before the game when he spoke of Priceâs Monday win. âThe guy won a Cy Young, he pitched in the World Series,â he said. âHeâs been really, really good, but he never pitched that game he did a couple of days ago against Texas . . . I really thought that game really validates everything that heâs done to this point regarding his career.â
A rise in the level of uncertainty about fiscal and monetary policy is a third possible explanation for the shift in the Beveridge curve. To explore this, we need an economic model of the labor market. In such a model, the Beveridge curve is derived from a mathematical framework that determines the rate at which workers are hired given job vacancies and unemployment rates, and how efficiently workers are matched with available jobs. Thus, the hiring rate depends on the number of unemployed workers, the number of available job openings, and how much effort businesses put into filling vacancies, for example, by advertising. For a given number of job openings, if more people are unemployed and searching for jobs, then typically more hiring takes place because it is easier for businesses to find suitable candidates to fill vacancies. Similarly, for a given number of unemployed workers, an increase in job openings makes it easier to find jobs, also boosting the hiring rate.
This weekend, I will look for somewhere suitably inviting along the River Cam. I will do my research, I will exercise caution, I will make sure that in addition to being able to get in, I have located a spot from which I can get out. I will test the waters. Then I will take the plunge.

In the meantime, behind the scenes, Bud Seligâs MLB drug sheriff, Rob Manfred, is bearing down on A-Rod with a looming suspension for his involvement with alleged Miami steroid dealer Tony Bosch and his Biogenesis clinic in South Florida â the place that apparently served as baseballâs drug cheatsâ and wannabe drug cheatsâ version of a CVS. But it goes further than that. MLB investigators are now also looking into whether A-Rod has had anything to do with procuring and/or compensating the attorneys for the witnesses they have been interviewing in the Bosch scandal. If he has, then heâs facing a whole new set of charges â aside from baseballâs joint drug agreement. Still, as one baseball official with knowledge of the investigation told me, MLB may already have more than it needs to suspend A-Rod, the Milwaukee Brewersâ Ryan Braun and others for a lot more than just 100 games on drug violations alone.

Raised on the Internet and disheartened by having watched the older generations suffer through the tech bubble of 2000 and the recession of 2008, these young adults are viewing their quickly accumulating wealth differently.

Curtis-Machin is joining the HTA at a challenging time for horticulture. The biosecurity of plants, shortage of skills and the survival of nurseries – especially those producing annuals that have been hit by a series of particularly harsh winters – have all been in the headlines. But he's clearly a man who thrives on challenges. At the age of 23, with a degree in landscape management and one year as head gardener under his belt, he set up his own garden design-and-build business in south London with a loan of £1,000 from his father, which he used to buy a pickup.

Price: the Nexus 7 climbed from $199 in price to $229, but that’s still a hundred dollars cheaper than the $329 iPad mini. Sure, the Nexus 7 is a noticeably smaller tablet. But for a sub-tablet, that’s the whole idea.
At that point, it was virtually certain that the insurgents would use the false flag chemical weapons ploy, to cause direct US intervention. Perhaps even worse than the “red line” being a mistake by Obama, is that he, himself, was preparing this false flag operation. Another possibility is that he was sucked into it by his advisors.

One major point of friction has been the UKâs foreign policy. Many Scotsmen resent being dragged into wars they do not support.

And you will also notice that those top rungs are occupied by elderly people who will die relatively soon, setting loose a cascade of wealth and power that will establish a new order in this country.

What do these people want to leave behind? That is very unclear. Primarily it seems they do want to live forever and to go to their graves clutching their titles and money. But it is still true that you cannot take it with you.

The choices are broader for healthy seniors and usually involve what's called a continuing care retirement community, or CCRC. These communities are not all alike and offer different levels of care and payment models. The most fully equipped CCRCs provide living units for healthy residents but also offer on-site facilities and health care staffing for those needing assisted living, full-time nursing care and even Alzheimer's facilities. Their strongest selling point is in reassuring residents and their families that a person can stay at the CCRC for the rest of his or her life and receive whatever care he or she may need.

Unless the roofer is overcome by moral qualms about the damage he can do to your future prosperity, he will probably bring every single somewhat relevant tool he's ever bought, as well as multiple borrowed vehicles and solar panels to decorate your roof with.

And suddenly what started out as a minor nuisance has turned into a major financial burden.
Things got even worse: After Anthony Davianâs wife found him passed out in their car suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning earlier this month, he was rushed to the intensive care unit of a hospital.

Industry opponents claim that the rules of foreign countries will protect us in these cases. But no country in the world is as advanced as the U.S. in regulating its derivatives markets. While the U.S. is actively bringing derivatives regulations on line, key elements of oversight are still at least a year away in Europe and elsewhere. And permitting foreign regulation to govern U.S. derivatives transactions would be dangerous in any case. It would create an incentive for global banks to transact their business through whatever jurisdiction has the weakest regulations – a "regulatory haven" to match the tax havens that international corporations already use.

Although the future of wearable computing is still uncertain, it is safe to assert that wearable devices will depend less and less on touch gestures, buttons, and swipes, in favor of intuitive notifications, discovery features and event tracking software like Field Trip or Google Now. Interacting with the physical device should not be a harbinger for performing functions and gaining value from these devices. Without advances in notification technology, visual recognition software, and app development, the first generation of wearables may end up like the pager or Palm Pilot. Â

Thereâs so much player outrage at him because of how brash he was against MLB and how brash he was in his defense.â
The retailer might initiate an online chat asking if you need help or follow up with an email in a few hours or days to remind you about the item in your cart and offer free shipping or a one-time discount.

Still, even if leaving an item in your shopping cart doesn't score you a discount, it could give you time to sleep on a purchase instead of impulsively checking out.

But, unlike Miller, she seems unwilling to devolve (or evolve?) into a full-on caricature of herself, and instead reminds the audience again and again how much she loves and supports the girls who fill her gym year after year. And it's clear their mothers register her dedication, too. That was evidenced in the subplot of this episode, in which Alisha debates focusing full-time on one squad, The Fab Five, which would entail her handing off her younger team to another coach. By the episode's end, she's opted to stick with all her teams, which comes as little surprise.

The decline in the value of money since then has been absolutely extraordinary. My parents were reasonably well off. I lived a lot of the time in Jersey.

And I was the school bookmaker at Harrow with the former BBC presenter Julian Wilson, and of course when you didn't have very much money that made it even harder. That taught me a lot about money.

Graeme Swann may be the most feared spin bowler in the world and the loudest member of the England dressing room, but he is a player hooked on a witch’s brew of superstitions, rituals and routines. Swann will travel to England’s five home Ashes Test matches against Australia over the next two months by driving the same auspicious roads he has taken on previous successful visits to those grounds, with his teammate and lucky charm Jimmy Anderson in the passenger seat. Before bowling he will insist on sending two practice deliveries to the fielder at mid-on and while waiting to bat he will ward off hexes by resting his gloves in a specific place on his leg and refusing to let anyone touch his bat.

The sun can change your hair color, but products with UV filters or antioxidants may keep your hue from fading or turning brassy.

Will it prevent cancer? Noâand cancer commonly forms on the scalp, says Dr. Katz. You should still wear a hat or use traditional SPF on your part (or your entire scalp if your hair is thin).

Now, naturally, it is the one course which we all want to play. Last week, the Dormy clubhouse was buzzing – full of men in monogrammed jumpers gearing up for their special round, and the course they were talking about was not the King’s or Queen’s, but the PGA. Most of us won’t be able to visit for the Cup – tickets have already sold out. But we can come and get a feel for the layout so that in 12 months’ time, when we are watching an approach shot to the 7th green on television, we will remember just how hard it is to get the distance right, and just how sharply ball will swing across the putting surface.

The approach of letting authors decide if they have conflicts of interest that should be disclosed is embraced by some less prominent science and medical journals. The leading scientific journals, in contrast, tell authors that any financial relationship with an interested party in the research must be disclosed to readers. U.S. law requires that scientists disclose ties with pharmaceutical companies when they present research.

2. As for promises and Gentleman’s Agreements : The UK and Germany were not to touch French agriculture, the UK and French were not to touch German manufacturing and the French and Germans were meant to not touch our financial services industry. The Germans and French want to blame the UK for their own incompetent Eurozone project so have broken the Gentleman’s Agreement. The financial regulation hitting us here (and hitting the US too) is nothing more than a spiteful and childish trade war. Will the markets be safer, will the investor experience be better, will markets be more efficient – NO. This is not regulation.
Itâs not that Pettitte was conflicted when he retired in February of 2011. As he said on Friday, he loved being home and had no thoughts of a comeback until Brian Cashman called in December that year and asked if heâd consider playing again in 2012.

The necessary components in this case are a relatively powerful desktop or laptop running a discrete GeForce GTX graphics card (650 or better), plus a local WiFi network with 802.11N. (The A and G standards work as well, but are not optimal.) Streaming works with Steam's controller-focused Big Picture Mode, and a small number of supported games. Those of you with ATI graphics cards are out of luck - sorry, but you'll need a literal green card to enter this streaming nation.

Feisty as always, Martin said he disagreed with Woodsonâs comment that he wants to produce a top 10 defense. âI told him top five,â Martin fired back with a smile. But Martin was more passive when it came to the strategy that Woodson has for him to rest more and play fewer minutes. Martin has participated in conditioning drills, just not in scrimmages and he pronounced his left knee and left ankle healthy after injuries to those limbs caused him to miss seven of the final eight regular-season games last year.

a strain of thought that moves from the standard grassroots conservative view of Washington as an inherently corrupt realm of special interests and self-dealing elites to a broader skepticism of âbignessâ in all its forms (corporate as well as governmental), that regards the Bush era as an object lesson in everything that can go wrong (at home and abroad) when conservatives set aside this skepticism, and that sees the cause of limited government as a means not only to safeguarding liberty, but to unwinding webs of privilege and rent-seeking and enabling true equality of opportunity as well.
"When Guney was brought in, they missed half the things in his car," the lawyer said. "The dry-cleaning bill didn't enter the investigation file until a month later. If you look at the transcripts of the first hours of questioning, all they are doing is trying to update their archives about PKK activities."

The simple reason for this was that Goldmanâs robots were slow. A lot of the moneymaking strategies were of the winner-take-all variety. When every player is trying to buy Pepsi after Cokeâs stock has popped, the player whose computers can take in data and spit out the obvious response to it first gets all the money. In the various races being run, Goldman was seldom first. That is why they had sought out Serge Aleynikov: to improve the speed of their system.

Sadly, it is. And yet Great Yarmouth and its “poverty-on-sea” siblings are far from being alone. There is nothing radically new in what the CSJ has to report, and some will think that much of it could have been said 30 years ago. Many British seaside towns, once as remote from our cities as Mr Peggotty’s romantic dwelling, fell on hard times, particularly in the Sixties, when cheap package holidays in the sun began to persuade us away from a week in a glum Essex boarding house or the faded glories of an Edwardian hotel on the Kentish riviera.
As the M train heads south in Ridgewood to the Brooklyn border, what was once Little Germany becomes a little melting pot. Though the old-fashioned storefronts in this historical nabe look just as they have for decades, today nearly every continent is represented near the Seneca Ave. stop, as seen in the diversity of these three shops.

Westerners are now so familiar with moving images of albatrosses gliding effortlessly through the air as the ultimate expression of avian freedom that we overlook how the bird’s impact on the majority of humanity is relatively recent. The word ‘albatross’ was not even recorded before 1769. Albatrosses (Diomedeidae) comprise a family of 13 species mainly inhabiting the oceans south of the Tropic of Capricorn. (There are, however, three central Pacific species that occur as far north as the Arctic Circle. Another is a near endemic species to the Galápagos archipelago.) The country regularly cited as the albatross capital of the world is New Zealand, although exactly how many species it holds is a moot point.

Shifting some assets out of your core high-quality bonds and into TIPS makes sense. But be careful if you're using funds.

One of the best secrets is how much fat and calories you can cut out of a meal by swapping in pumpkin instead of extra butter, oil and sugar. Pumpkin is so versatile and delicious, and it's packed with nutrients and vitamins â that is, if you don't mix it with all that sugar and butter (wink-wink). You can use it to make sweet treats, as well as very savory dishes. Maybe you've heard of pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin brownies (my fav too!), pumpkin muffins and pumpkin bread. But what about savory pumpkin dishes like pumpkin soup and pumpkin ravioli, and how about pumpkin lasagna? We even have pumpkin beer and pumpkin lattes all over the place and so easily available. Plus, you don't need to roast a pumpkin to cook with it. Canned works just as well â but just know the flavor can't be beat if you do decide to roast one.
