Confusion and perfection!!

I am confused by friends around me...haih..

do you think that ur friends do you a favour just because they expect a favour back from you sometime later?...hmmmm..

i know of one friend who goes all out just to help me..withou expecting anything from him..and he is just such a nice person to everyone ...every girl and every boy he knows...still not attached..( i think maybe got chance, hehe ) but... i know of another friend who helps me...in someway. i thought he was sincere in helping...but little did i realise..that person expected something in return!! onyl got to know about it when we started arguing on some ridiculously minor stuff.but, i must say..it was truly entirely my fault for bringing the subject in..but ..at least i got to know the true coulours of the person. so you treat a person nice out of pure love or do you treat a person nice just to expect something form that person later?let us all just ponder upon that question...

remember : " a slip of the foot you may recover,
a slip of the tongue will last forever !!! "

To love or not to love...that is a question to be

Just read hua ying's blog.

someone that you love will never able to be with you, will you still
wait for him/her?
====it is yet another risk ======

* If you love someone and are afraid to confide, will you still face the fear of
letting him/her know?
==== yet another ====

* If you are rejected by someone, will you still have the courage to love him/her
still?
====and another +++

it's so nice to be secretly liking someone...the feeling is like being in a movie...or i dunno..nice to be observing someone from afar.

Ants Climbing a Tree

Ants Climbing a Tree (Ants Creeping up a Tree, Climbing a Hill)I

Yes, I know that the morsels of ground beef or pork are supposed to represent "ants" while the vermicelli noodles make up the "tree." But - ants? Couldn't they have chosen something a little more appetizing? Then again, I suppose "stones in the sand" doesn't sound great, either. In any event, this recipe has an advantage over the others in that it doesn't require a great deal of preparation.

Kung Pao Chicken

Kung Pao Chicken

It's common knowledge that this dish is named after an official; however, from there it all gets rather murky. In some versions Kung Pao is a general who lived during the Ching dynasty. In others, he is a crown prince who discovered this dish while travelling and brought it back to the Imperial Court. There's even some confusion about whether the dish originated in Shanghai or Szechuan.
Cookbook author Helen Chen provides an interesting twist on the story. In Chinese Home Cooking, she states that Kung Pao was the title given to the person charged with protecting the heir apparent, as Kung meant castle and Pao meant to protect. During a certain period, the Kung Pao was a man whose favorite dish happened to be spiced chicken with peanuts, and thus over time it was named after him. Whatever the case, the stories demonstrate the Chinese belief that naming a dish after an important figure gives it more prestige.

Lion's Head Meatballs

Lion's Head Meatballs
It's easier to understand the name once you've seen the dish. The meatballs are huge - roughly the size of tennis balls. Often they are served with cabbage, meant to represent the lion's mane.

ever wondered why is Beggar's chicken called Beggars chicken?

Beggar's Chicken


This is a wonderful story. A homeless, starving beggar is wandering along a road when he catches sight of a chicken. Desperate for food, he kills the chicken by wringing its neck. Lacking a stove, he covers the chicken in mud, makes a fire and bakes it. (One version has him plucking the feathers off the chicken as he eats).

At this point an Emperor passes by with his entourage. Attracted by the aroma of the baked chicken, he stops and dines with the beggar, demanding to know how he created such a delicious meal. "Beggar's chicken" is subsequently added to the list of dishes served at the Imperial court.

This story has a footnote. In "The Chinese Kitchen", Eileen Yin-Fei Lo notes that people are not always happy with the name of the dish. In Beijing you'll sometimes see Beggar's Chicken called "Fu Guai Gai," or "Rich and Noble Chicken."

Origins of names

There is a mystique that surrounds the origin of certain recipe names.
Take Caesar salad, for example. People often assume that the classic combination of romaine lettuce and dressing dates back to the time of Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. In fact, its origins are much more recent, although the exact circumstances defy documentation. In one version, it was invented in 1924 by Caesar Cardini. If true, the Tijuana restaurateur must have been amazed by the confusion he unleashed when he chose to bestow his own name on his culinary masterpiece.

Another view holds that Caesar Salad was created in 1906 in the United States, and named in honor of the Romans. This makes sense when you consider that the Romans held romaine lettuce in high esteem, believing it had health-giving properties. (In fact, it is rumored that Emperor Caesar Augustus erected a statue in honor of the leafy green vegetable).
And then there's Chicken Cordon Bleu. Try as you might, you won't find a step-by-step procedure for stuffing chicken breasts with ham and cheese in any of the standard French cookbooks. While its origins are difficult to trace, the dish probably debuted in New Orleans, the brainchild of a chef who once trained at the France's world-famous cooking school Le Cordon Bleu.

Like all great mysteries, the truth about how these two famous recipes came to be named will probably never be known. The Chinese have their own collection of tales surrounding the origin of certain recipes. Here are a few examples:

3 recipe name features
- appearance of the dish - lion's head meatballs, ants climbing a tree

- person who supposedly invented the dish or caused the dish to be invented (kung pao chicken, pockmarked tofu, beggar's chicken)
