Halloween Pumpkin Carving

萬聖節要到了跟著我來刻一個南瓜燈籠吧~~萬聖節快樂 :)

Halloween is here let's make a jack o' lantern~~ Happy Halloween :)

我一剛開始每一年看美國人的家裡外面都有擺設刻著鬼臉的南瓜燈籠,

很難以置信想說這麼難還可以刻的這麼好看 不會斷掉嗎？

也太厲害了吧 有一年就決定要來刻一個看看是有多難,
才發現這是可以完成的一件事情而且很好玩喔!!

我們一起來完成它吧!!

Every year when close to Halloween I saw lots of spooky jack o' lantern placing outside of  every American's house, wondering how do people did that without braking the pattern off from the pumpkin.  Then one year I deiced to try to carve a pumpkin myself and see how hard it is to make one,  

i realized it is actually achievable and it's really fun!!

Let's make it happen!!

這裡就是南瓜園,同時你也可以在這裡購買南瓜. 每一年他們都會佈置一個這樣的場地提供你參觀購買. 不需要任何的入場費用. 你可以帶小朋友來這裡玩,裡面有好玩的鬼屋,外面還有迷你馬,當然可以跟這麼多的南瓜照張相留個紀念也可以買一些南瓜回去當裝飾.

This is the Pumpkin patch, where i pick up my pumpkins. Themes are set up every year for you to shop also having fun in there plus it's free admission. You can bring your kids for an adventure to  haunted house, poney ride, taking pictures with lots of pumpkins and of course pumpkin shopping.

有很多種形狀的南瓜,你可以先挑好你想要刻上去的圖案再去挑選南瓜. 挑選南瓜不需要都挑很完美圓潤的,你可以挑個奇形怪狀的來呈現你的南瓜燈籠效果也會很突出喔

Lots of different shapes of pumpkins, you can first decide the pattern you want to carve then go pick a unique one. Don't have to be the perfect shape, sometime people will choose a unique shape to create a distinctive one.

不只有大的南瓜還有這些小的南瓜可以當裝飾, 是不是也很可愛阿.

Not only the big pumpkins these are the small ones, you can have these to decorate. 

Aren't they adorable.

這些範本是我準備要刻在南瓜上面的圖案,還有一些雕刻的小工具我在Target超市買的,裡面還有很多的南瓜圖騰範本可以挑選還有說明書,不過如果你都不喜歡這些也可以去網路上面收尋你想要的圖案刻都可以

These are the patterns i am going to carve on my pumpkin, and the tools are the pumpkin carving stencils. This is the Kit i bought at Target, it comes with all the instructions inside the book and some examples of the patterns, or you can also go online to search for the pattern you want to cave on your pumpkin.

我們開始吧, 首先用刀子在蒂的周圍切一個方形, 接著把裡面的籽都清掉, 

用長得像湯匙的小工具把裡面”牆壁“刮平

Let's begin. First, use knife to cut a square around the stem, then pull out all the seeds, use the scraping tool to smooth out the "wall" inside.

把紙張減小一點,然後在邊邊的地方剪個幾條直線進去好方便折.接著用膠帶粘上南瓜.

用小工具附有的尖尖戳洞把圖型刻出來.

Cut the pattern to a smaller sheet of paper then cut the corner straight in to make it easy to fold. Then stick it on pumpkin using tape.

Use the pointy stencil tool to poke out the pattern.

用小鋸齒的工具慢慢的刻出形狀

(注意記得要慢慢刻不然很容易就會刻斷)

Use the stencil knife to slowly carve out the patterns. 

(Make sure you do it slow so you won't cut off the design.)

完成!!

Done!!

This is my jack o' lantern Years ago. 這是我之前做的南瓜燈籠

就這樣你們知道怎麼刻南瓜燈籠啦,試看看吧很好玩喔!! 刻完會很有成就感

Now you know how to carve a jack o' lantern, you can have your own, try it!!  It's really enjoying.

Happy Carving, and of course Happy Halloween!! ❤

First, you need half cup of coffee, either you want to use the instant one or the coffee bean one. 

you only need half cup of coffee.

If you want to boost the flavor, you can swirl some caramel into your cup first.

(如果不想要咖啡的話就簡單的直接加上即溶巧克力包跟熱牛奶這樣就好了)

MILK

MILK是一間很有名的甜點冰淇淋的店, 

店面位於

7290 Beverly Blvd.

Los Angeles, CA 90036

這一間MILK隨時隨地去都有很多人在排隊,他的吸引力是很迷人的. 很多好萊塢的明星們都無法抗拒他們的美味, 而且在很多的雜誌上面也有介紹到這間MILK. 就連Louis Vuitton他們自己的雜誌裡面也忍不住要介紹這間MILK. 說不定下次去也可以遇到哪位大明星也不一定 :)

MILK曾獲得(Yelp) 2010年來洛杉磯一定要去的美食店

他們也很有巧思的把Cupcake做成像冰淇淋的樣子真的很可愛

MILK裡面served的不只有冰淇淋而已, 他還有很多種口味的三明治,湯還有莎拉,也有專們為小朋友準備的小餐點. 所以去到那裡不用怕還沒有吃東西就直接吃冰了.

飲料也是很多種類, Espresso, Coffe, Tea, Ice blanded and more

甜點類的話就是餅乾,杯子蛋糕,美式布丁, Apple on a stick.

   接著著重點來了!! MILK最有名的就是這個冰淇淋了. 特別的地方是外面是用馬可龍包住著整個冰淇淋,味道相當的好. 不會太甜太膩,我還蠻驚訝的,因為通常美國的甜點們都是超級甜超級膩的.大概吃個幾口就會想要停止吃了. 不過這個馬可龍冰淇淋並不會,他的口感很清爽綿密,表皮又有微脆的馬可龍包覆著相當的好吃.

如果喜歡直接吃一球一球冰淇淋的話他們也可有另外直接是冰淇淋本人,看你想要裝在杯子裡面,還是ice cream corn裡面的都可以. 他們還有一小桶一小桶的冰淇淋包裝 你可以選自己喜歡的口味帶回家冰著,隨時想要吃就可以享受到好吃的冰淇淋了.

我那天點的是西瓜口味的Ice cream sandwich, 口感真的很棒. 我在猜他應該是用真正的西瓜做出來的,不然如過是人工西瓜口味的話不可能這麼好吃的.  很像在吃新鮮的冰西瓜包馬可龍 哈～

趕快去試看看吧!!  吃完這間 還可以去比佛利山莊Beverly Hills 逛逛喔
就在隔壁而已很近.但必須得開車才會到. Happy eating~ ❤

A Beautiful Room Make Over

A Room make over is easy and it's inexpensive at the same time, you'll just need to know where to go get these small renovation produces.

These small changes will transform the whole look of your bedroom at the same time you are still in your budget.

Before all of these small renovation produces, my room just look as plan as a white empty room.      The room looks clean but just lack of some color splash to spice up the color combination.

And then i decide to change the whole look of my room to make it cozy, the color combination i choose are Turquoise and Purplish Pink, these two colors are my most favorit colors, and they go so well together.

First, i pick up a Turquoise duvet set in Target it was $99.90, but i got it on sale at $59.99 which is a really good deal of that. The pattern looks settle and splash clean at the same time, not too busy, just right!! Gives me a bubble feeling and want to jump right in. 

The Second thing i pick up are the lamp set at the Homegoods. I have to say Homegoods stores are my favorit place to go for my home interior stuff and kitchen gadgets. They have tons of "home goods" you can mix and match with what you have at home. The price is also looking good too, they almost have everything 40% off or even 50% off sometimes. Also the merchandise goes so fast they almost have new things everyday every time you shop there. So i pick up this Turquoise lamp set with the crystal setting to match me bed color.

Last but not least, I got this soft and beautiful flower painting with gold accents words. I also bought this beautiful painting at the Homegoods store, but this is not a easy one, i waited for quite sometime to find my perfect painting that i will look at it everyday and love it every time i see it. I was planning to get three medium size painting to across the wall above the bed. But it is too hard to get a matching three paintings and beautiful at the same time, i am still searching it :)  I am so happy that i end up getting this oversize soft and beautiful painting to hang above the wall. and it also makes it look like i had a head borad. This oversize painting balance out everything together and makes it a grand room.

 

This is for my winter time bedroom, i know the light Turquoise will even give the cold feeling, it actually won't.  It feels more like summer warmth, but hey who doesn't love summer time all that vivid color.

Even my dog loves to stay in my bed. It's a she, her name is Chewy :) She gets so exciting every time i let her up on my bed, i guess she really like the new renovation. 

Another color splash i got for this summer is this yellow cover sheet and some pillow to go with it. But this time when i pick up the colors, i pick from what i have on the painting to match everything and make it a whole look.  You can also pick from your favorit pieces and make it your color combination.

You dont want to put too many colors in because it will give it too busy.  So, i choose the yellow cover sheet, this color match the gold accents on my painting, they will match together and make it flow. 

The gold pattern on my pink pillow is also match the painting gold accents words. So now everything goes together and every color flows, that makes another feeling of the room. Just by color changing gives you a whole different look of another bedroom, seems like i have two completely different room, but the things i use are just easy to change.

So now you can get an idea of where i get all these goodies at, and if i can do it you can do it too, trust yourself let's make your own room the happiest place.  :)

My sleeping beauty girls enjoy my bedroom too, good night everyone. ❤

生菜蝦鬆的翻版生菜鮪魚鬆

最近喜歡吃一些少油, 少鹽, 多纖維的食物

我用鮪魚帶替了蝦子來做這道菜, 這道菜算是物盡其用的一道.

家裡面有什麼食材就用了 這樣一來可以不用為了想要吃一道菜的味道這樣的東奔西跑的
回家還要做出這些料理, 這樣的物盡其用的短短幾分鐘就可以作出類似的佳肴
還不錯 可以試看看

預備食材:

小黃瓜

蘋果

鮪魚罐頭

Yogurt

兩顆水煮蛋

Celery一小條

Rice Krispies

生菜萵苣-忘了照

我用Rice Krispies取代了油條

先把Celery切成一半

接著切丁

小黃瓜先切片然後再切成條狀

蘋果也是先切片然後再切成條狀的

水煮蛋 切丁

Tips: 我的方法是 先將水跟蛋都放在一起然後滾了以後煮個十分鐘就好了

水跟蛋一起放著煮的原因是如果等水滾了以後再放雞蛋進去雞蛋比較容易破裂 

因為水溫滾燙的關係加上雞蛋是密閉的 很容易炸開來

                     水跟蛋一起煮 這樣一來就會有光滑亮麗的水煮雞蛋啦!!                                              

            

把所有的材料放在一起加上黑胡椒攪拌

 我使用了Yogurt代替了沙拉醬 吃沙拉通常都會覺得是蔬菜低卡路里也很健康

但是如果加上的醬料是油油的沙拉醬那其實熱量還是很高的

Yogurt的口感跟沙拉醬很像又很健康可以幫助腸胃蠕動 是很不錯的選擇喔!

盛盤 Enjoy!! ❤

Rice Krispies是最後要吃的時候撒在上面的 這樣就有脆脆的口感

兩朵生菜鮪魚鬆能夠吃得很清涼很爽口也不會有負擔

飽足感也很夠 蔬菜,水果,魚都有均衡到

製作也很簡單快速

Try it out!! :)
