肉丸咖哩伴藏紅花飯 《 印式美食》 Kofta Curry and Saffron Rice 《 Indian Cooking》

當天氣轉冷的時候，我最愛為家人煮一鍋鍋熱香撲鼻的好東西。

那管是中式煲仔菜、西式砂鍋菜，或是印度式咖喱；都可以擔保大受歡迎！

When the weather gets colder, I love serving a pot of hot and scrumptious smelling stewed food for my family.

Be there the Chinese stew, English casserole, or the Indian curry; you can guarantee that they will go down a treat!

法式土司《健康早餐》 French Style Toast 《Healthy Breakfast》

惱人的雨，連續下了两天。空氣是一片的濕冷。

前天早上起床，卻迎上滿室的朝陽。身心頓時感到温暖愉快。

The rain has not stopped for a couple of days.  It was cold, wet and miserable.

So when I woke up to a bright and sunny morning the other day, I instantly felt warm and happy inside.

綠茶香橙杯子蛋糕 Green Tea and Orange Cupcakes

茶在我們家佔有很重要的地位。

管它是晴是雨，是寒是暑。早上起牀，誰先走進厨房，誰便會把水灌進水壺去，按下電製。水沸後，自動把水冲進茶壺內，為每一位醒過來的家人或訪客預備一壺清醇香濃的熱茶。

Tea plays such an important role in our house.  Doesn’t matter if it’s rain or shine, summer or winter.  Whoever walks into the kitchen first thing in the morning will be the one who fills the kettle and brews a pot for the rest of the family, or for the visitors who happened to be staying with us at the time.

甜酸咕嚕肉 Sweet and Sour Pork

孩子們都畢業了。兒子的典禮已在六月完結，女兒的大學則在上週才舉行。

我們從倫敦回來，兒子已回曼城。走進他房間替他收拾，便看到他兒時最心愛的三個睡伴：他出生後我們買給他的小藍毛熊，那隻耳朵是 rattle 的小笨象和別人送他，被他弄去了一隻眼晴的黃色小兔熊；排排地坐在椅上。

之前一晚他把它們從櫃內取出，拍下相片，印成小照，放進口袋內的皮筴裏。他說年紀這麼大，不好把它們帶在身邊，帶張圖片好了。我點點頭，兒子明白我的意思，他給我緊緊的一抱 ...

Our children have both graduated now, and our son has gone back to Manchester.

When we came back from London after our daughter's graduation ceremony, I went to tidy up his bedroom, and saw that three of his favourite soft toys were still on his chair.
