The best nut butter cookies! It's the most simple also. No flour at all!
最簡單也最好吃的堅果醬餅乾食譜在這裡,試試看吧! 不加麫粉的哦!

1 cup of nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter...your choice)
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar (not too sweet,can be half brown half white sugar)
1 tsp baking soda
1 egg
Mix them well and scoop the cookie dough to greased baking sheet (you can use small ice cream scoop),make sure there is at least one inch and half apart, use the back of a fork to press he center down and make crossing marks, then bake at 350F for 10-12 min. Or the surface is just set. Let cool and enjoy :)

1杯堅果醬(任何你喜歡的醬皆可,花生醬,杏仁醬、、、)
半杯到3/4杯糖(可紅白糖各摻一半,甜度隨意,不會太甜)
1茶匙小蘇打粉
1顆蛋
全部攪拌均勻後,可用湯匙或小的冰淇淋挖球器, 等距離的盛入附烘焙紙或上油的烤盤,至少間距三到五公分以上,之後用叉子背面輕壓每球的中央,讓它中間變有點平,兩次用不同方向壓時,餅乾中間自然有如十字網狀紋路。用175C 烤10 至12分即可(或餅乾表面開始硬化)放涼後就可以有配茶配咖啡的點心囉! 開動!

Yesterday the breads turned into pizza as dinner and buns as today's breakfast. It took us a good while trying to figure out how to put the taste into words when we were eating. By the time we figured it out, the bread was gone. :)
It's great to take risks!!
昨天嘗試的麪包變成了我們的披薩晩餐和今天的早餐。整個驗收過程中,邊吃邊想要怎麼形容這種味道,想出來的時候,麪包也吃完了! :)
冒險真好!!

Use the WHOLE lemon please!
Yellow peel/zest- cooking or baking
Juice- all purpose
Pulp- giving some lemon twist to your marinating sauce
Seed- grow a lemon tree if you have space and patience
The rest of the peel (white part)- keep your fridge smell fresh :)

Are you saying this to yourself lately..."oh boy, I hope I do not catch that"... I hope the cold doesn't catch you. if you can not run away from it, try HOT TODDY and feel better soon.

Get a mug, mix the following ingredients
1 oz. hard liquor (whiskey/rum/bourbon/brandy...)
1 Tbsp. honey
2 teaspoon lemon juice (Yen doubles it for her drink)
Hot boiling water to fill up the cup
Drink up and feel better soon!

Special thanks to the head butler who never miss a day at work for 50 years at Century Club. Many years ago, he wanted to make Hot Toddy for siick Yen when she was working as a model. After the booking, Yen had to run for another job so she did not get to try it. The memory of the inspirational kind man is as healing as Hot Toddy :)

In Yen's mind: more cookies= more sharing > eating
In Simon's mind: more cookies= more cookies to eat.
Result: never enough for sharing = keep on making more cookies

We had three big glasses of chocolate egg cream tonight! (of course, no eggs and no cream....why? Who cares, it's good!)
Quick recipe here... Pour these 3 ingredients in order in a tall glass--stir--drink up and feel the natural high :)
Chocolate syrup: cold milk: cold seltzer water= 1:2:3 in proportion

Today Yen uses 15 big onions, 15 cloves of garlic, 8 plantains, 8 big carrots, 6 peppers, 3 broccoli, 3 sweet potatoes, 3 pears, 1 eggplant, half battle of wine, half jar of olives, tones of spice, cotton twine, cooking paper, gas, love and LOTS of dish washing
Time flies in my kitchen. 11 hr. feels like 11 min... Still, it's so good to sit down finally.

P.S. All of the above feeds 2 people. It's not enough to share. Ha! :D
