打从立春那一天起,Pittsburgh 就进入正儿八经的春天,再也没有冷过,每天二十度左右,几乎每天都是阳光灿烂,蓝天白云,偶尔下雨,但也会马上结束,空气无比清新,处处欣欣向荣,心情无比愉悦,开始期待夏天,因为夏天的到来又代表着一个新的时代。
上上个周五,从医院产检回来,森森约我去拍照,我其实是想拒绝的,因为现在胖死啦,加上又不能化妆,怎么拍都不会好看。森森说没有关系,主要是留下纪念,想着也对,就配合了。不过,后期看起来这组照片效果还不错啊,给森森点赞一个!
Last week, Julia told me, “April showers bring flowers.” She said exactly the right thing. After several days of raining, we already saw the new green leaves and colorful flowers.
I took these pictures today. On my way walking this morning, I saw these fabulous views. I just couldn’t stop myself taking these great pictures. It was strange that why I hadn’t noticed these before since I walked around here everyday.
Pittsburgh has four distinctive seasons. In autumn, almost all leaves fall down and there is very few ever green trees here. So you can imagine how does the winter look like here and how much do the people living here eager for the spring.
In spring, everything is shooting up. It’s so prosperous all around. Every one looks happy and vigorous and waving hands say hello to you. I feel great!
All these flowers are in our community and they are just around my building. What a nice place!
I met Bob who is in charge of this community this morning. He saw me taking pictures around and then he nicely asked me to pick some flowers home and enjoy them. You can’t imagine how excited Julia was when I told her this news. She picked two blooms and she asked me ‘Mom, can we get the honey out of the flowers?” “Maybe yes, but we need ask bees for help.”Isn’t it cute?
又有一个多星期没有做点心了,今天下大雨,没有办法出去walk,就想待在家里做吃的。一直没有做过戚风蛋糕,今天试试。
结果是第一次做也很成功,我没有用专门烤戚风蛋糕的模具,因为要离开所以实在不想买太多,就用普通烤盘烤出来的效果也很不错,软软的,嫩嫩的,口感特别好,相信宝贝们一定喜欢。
因为我自己特别喜欢cheese cake,所以呢,戚风蛋糕出炉以后我又做了一个cheese cake。边劳动边学歌,great!
这个枣泥蛋糕已经做了好几个星期了,recipe一直没有来更新,必须来写下来啊,因为特别好吃,我不想以后忘记了。
这款蛋糕的口感是比较干的那种,我比较喜欢,不过森森和Juia喜欢软软嫩嫩的戚风蛋糕。
打着补铁的旗号买把菠菜回来吃。买回来就惆怅了,在家的时候,菠菜基本是用来下火锅的,现在又没有火锅吃,我该咋办呢。要控制体重,能量摄入越少越好,所以就凉拌吧。
原来在米国也有庆祝春分一说呢。Today is the first day of spring。春天的第一天,尽管上午下了超大的雪,但是还是挡不住人们内心的喜悦。服装店的各种discount, free ice-cream store,children’s museum also free for kids。。。各种各样的方式,very very nice。
我也做点什么好了,做个缤纷的水果蛋糕庆祝春天的来临,如何,对于Julia和森森来说,一定是surprise。
This was what I made today。Look pretty,right? And it tastes yummy, too…
