Sandwich with Rou Song, asian style.
Hello readers,
I had this carving for rou song this weekend. I had was wondering what recipes there are for rou song. I don't usually eat/buy this but when I do it's usually with rice porridge. I only found a few recipes, not as many as I was hoping for.
Well my cousin bought this slice of bread called....and it taste amazing. The bread was moist, chewy and more compact. I usually buy those cheap and long bread at the grocery store, the ones that are loose. I don't eat bread much because the ones I buy aren't that tasty. I was missing out on good bread.
I scrapped up the ingredients I had in the fridge to make a sandwich. No lettuce or tomato or cucumber or avocado. But I do have sliced ham, mayo, rou song, and a carrot. I used a peeler to "peel" the carrots thin strips.

Birthday 20 years old!!
October 12, 2013 is the day were I was induction into Alpha Lambda Delta and also my birthday!!
The induction was at my university's union fireside lounge. The room was dimly lit. The inductees got to side in comfy cushioned chair. It was a fabulously couch. The induction was no different from what I experience with the honor society induction in high school.
To celebrate my birthday, my cousin MM had her friends over to have HOT POT!! Our landlord, couldn't make it because it was his grandma's birthday too.
Any how, when my induction was over Sherry picked me up, then picked my cousin then Pung Fei up. And we went grocery shopping for hot pot ingredients. We bought about 150 worth of food, there was plenty of leftover ingredients left. We stuff our faces and became so full, our tummies were popping out and had to stand up. We didn't have room on our square table and had to put some on another counter. ^o^
We left to go shopping at 2. Don't know when were came back but we finished preparing and started eating hot pot at 6 to 8. There was beer for the legals. I'm still underage and don't like the taste of alcohol so I had whole milk and orange juice. ^^
PF bought a Tiramisu Cake, as a birthday present, but he left early, at 9, so he didn't get the chance to eat it. We were so full we had to wait and rest for a while. Ate the cake at 10, the landlord came home by then and we invited him to join us. The cake was was yum yum good.
Guess what this toilet photo story?! Get the story at the end of post
Sherry gifted me a happy B card and a embroided hanky, it has 2 simple looking flower, elegant and delicate looking. And MM presented a red coach wallet. A wallet was on my list to buy, but I never found the right one that I was looking for.
Today was a lovely day.
Toilet photo story: It not as disgusting as it looks. Well okay, you know there was alcohol, well one of MM's friend wasn't feeling so well...jk. No that's not what happen. We just dumped the leftover broth, the hot pot, into the toilet and flush it. It just looks disgusting when it's in the toilet.

Children: Nutritional Deficiencies
In developing countries children are eating more calories but not always obtaining adequate minerals--iron, zinc, and calcium. A balance meal and eating a wide variety of food is essential in development. Another problem is many cultures encourage children to eat too many sweets like birthday cakes, holiday candies, desserts and other sweets.
Tooth decay is a common disease in children, have too much sugar and too little fibers. The main cause of this is sugary fruit drinks and soda. Are you thinking that it's alright have a few decays because there baby tooth? Well severe decay can cause harm to the permanent teeth beneath the baby tooth, also can cause jaw malformation, chewing difficulties, and speech problems. The teeth are effected by diet and illness which means that the state of kids teeth can alert adults of other health problems.
Kathleen Stassen Berger. Chapter 8 of "The Developing Person Through the Life Span." 2011.
Get the child into habit of regularly brushing their teeth, drinking less sugary drinks, eating more veggies, wide variety of food and less fried food.

Child obesity: Parents encouraging to overeat
The current generation, many of the children play less outdoors. Which is one of the factor for obesity. But I think the major factor is parents encouraging children to overeat. In the past centuries, parents encourage children to overeat was to protect them from famine. During those time period, I think food wasn't as widely distributes and abundant as of today.
Berger mentions a study of low-income family in NYC. The study concluded that many overweight children in the low-income family correlate that increase in weight as family income fell. Which indicates that habit, not genes, are the cause of overweight. Back to the thought that parents are protecting their children from hunger. But, today, food is abundant, especially fast food which are inexpensive, but poor contribution to nutrition of child's growth. Thus, depending on what the children's nutrition source is important.
Between age 2 and 6 the appetite of a child decrease. "However, instead of accepting this natural change, many parents fret, threaten, and cajole their children to overeat" (210-11). This might happen because of the parent's mind set that children are not eating enough. Bringing the study findings and this quote together, Parents are creating a dysfunctional eating habit for the child. A two year old would eat until their full but a five year old would eat everything that is on there plate.
The children knows when they're hungry and full. Please don't force a child to overeat. And please don't use food as a reward either. Both of these action would establish unhealthy habits.
Berger states an example that reminded me of my childhood eating experience and made me want to write this post. This quote implied that a parent telling their children to "Eat all your dinner and you can have ice cream."
Kathleen Stassen Berger. Chapter 8 of "The Developing Person Through the Life Span." 2011.
First let me tell you about myself when I was 6. I was living with my aunt's house and my aunt's mother was taking care of my cousins and I. Also grew up in a Chinese beliefs and values. I was a slow eater. I was obedient and shy child who listens to her elders--parents, aunt, and aunt's mother. Well while growing up I get reminded my elders to finish my bowl of rice. They tell me that but I can't eat anymore, I was full, but I still had some rice left. While I'm look back at these memories, I remember that I would hide my leftover rice in napkins and throw them in the trash and then put the bowls in the sink. I do not know why did that. I could have just throw the rice directly in the trash. But whatever my 6 year old mind was thinking that was what I did.
Today my parents, mostly my mother, tells me to finish my bowl of rice or eat more of the side dishes. I also when home few weeks ago and mom said that my face looks like its gotten thinner, yea right. And was fretting if I was regularly eating.
At a gather with family, my relative that pester me to eat more is a polite, cultural, host thing. I also grew up with the mind set of not wasting food or things.
