冰淇淋是生活中不可缺少的一道美食。夏天没胃口时,尝些冰淇淋,是一个迅速补充体力降低体温的好方法。尤其对小朋友来说更是挡不住的诱惑,聪明的妈妈能在小朋友不愿吃饭时,偶尔改变方式以冰淇淋取代主食,同样能摄取营养和热量,漂亮的颜色又让人产生食欲。
你知道吗?美国每年能销售10亿加仑的冰淇淋,8%的牛奶最终变成冷冻食品。如今,各种各样的冰淇淋店更是遍布世界。现在就让我们一起看看冰淇淋的历史吧。
The earliest reports of people enjoying flavored ice desserts come from the Romans and the Chinese. Marco Polo returned from his famous expedition with fruit-flavored ices, reporting that Asians had been making them for thousands of years. These delicacies became popular in France in the 1500s, but only among royalty. Over the next few centuries, the process of making them evolved from hauling mountain ice to salt/ice freezing methods. Cream was introduced as an ingredient, and by the 1700s, people were enjoying a dessert that was very similar to today's ice cream.
The hand-cranked ice cream freezer was first developed by Nancy Johnson in 1846. Ice was readily available from large warehouses in that era, so ice cream became a treat that could be enjoyed by almost anyone, not just the rich. Ice cream making was revolutionized again in 1851, when Jacob Fussel started the first wholesale ice cream manufacturing operation in Baltimore, Maryland. Fussel's dairy business had excess cream and he couldn't figure out what to do with it. He tried using it to make ice cream, and before long his ice cream business outsold the rest of the dairy.
The business slowly evolved for the next few decades. Manufacturing methods and ingredients improved, while refrigeration technology became cheaper and more efficient. By the 1920s, home refrigerators and freezers became more common, which gave the ice cream industry another boost. Sugar was rationed in the US during World War I, but the ice cream industry convinced the government that ice cream was an "essential food”. Ice cream factories were allotted sugar rations and production continued.
Ice cream increased in popularity until the Depression years caused a drop in sales for virtually all non-essential goods. Sales increased in the years leading up to World War II before leveling off in the post-war years. The rise of the giant supermarket created demand for cheaper, mass-produced ice cream, but quality suffered. The 1960s saw a resurgence in "premium"ice cream, while the following decades saw the market fragment into low-fat varieties for the health-conscious, including frozen yogurt, fruit bars, ice milk, fat-free ice cream, and dozens of other varieties. However, ice cream still makes up about 60 percent of the market share among frozen desserts. While ice cream is enjoyed worldwide, it has become an American tradition
妈妈有个习惯,午睡醒来后再做家务活。这时,妈妈在午睡,我看到碗没洗,便认真地洗了起来,洗完后,蹑手蹑脚地回到房间。
妈妈醒来后,看到洗干净的碗,十分奇怪,问我:“这碗是谁洗的?”“我不知道啊。”“奇了怪了,那是谁洗的?”“是不是你睡觉前洗的?”“不可能,我记得很清楚。”“不管是谁洗的`,洗了不就行了。”“也是。”就这样,我混过去了。下午,妈妈出去买菜,我看见洗衣机上有很多脏衣服,便把脏衣服放到洗衣机里洗了起来,洗完有放在晾衣架上了。妈妈回来了,看见晾衣架上晾着她准备洗的衣服,便问我:“谁洗的衣服?”“我······我不知道。我刚才去小红家玩了。”
第二天中午,妈妈在睡午觉,我又把碗洗完了,准备回房间时,妈妈出来了,原来她一直纳闷,便在门缝里看,妈妈对我说:“昨天那些家务活,都是你做的?”“嗯。”······
今天,天气晴朗,太阳照着大地,小华和蓝蓝穿着校服一起跑进了公园。
他们在一棵大树旁边做早操,伸伸手,弯弯腰,连树上的小鸟都想和他们一起锻炼,叽叽喳喳地在树枝上跳来跳去。太阳公公微笑地对小华和蓝蓝说:“你们做得可真好呀!”
小华和蓝蓝开心地笑了,他们做起早操来就更认真了。
在我经历的事情中,就像天上的繁星闪耀在我心头,伴我度过每一个快乐的日子。在这些事情中,让我对我印象最深刻的是我在读一年级的时候。
那是一个星期天,吃完了中午饭,妈妈对我说:“孩子,你能帮妈妈扫一次地吗?”我一听是扫地,我高兴得跳了起来,因为我早就想帮妈妈做家务了,再说扫地太简单了,就爽快的答应了妈妈。
我拿来扫把,开始在客厅里扫,我拿起扫帚扫过去扫过来,不知扫了多久,发现把这里扫干净了,其它地方脏了,把其它地方扫干净了,另外的地方又脏了,扫得我汗流浃背,不知怎么回事?这是妈妈走了过来笑眯眯地说:“孩子,想你这样扫地是扫不干净的。”“不就是扫过去扫过来嘛!”我还很不服气的说。“来,我教你,要从房间的四周往中间扫,不能把扫帚扬得太高,不能用太大的.力,要不然你扫这里的时候会把灰尘扫到其它地方,扫其它地方的时候同样如此。”妈妈耐心的说道。
我听了还很不耐烦的样子,扫地还有那么多的讲究?我半信半疑的按照妈妈说的方法去扫,结果真的把房间扫得干干净净的,而且一点儿也不累。妈妈看了我的成果,开心地笑了,还连声夸奖我是一个聪明的孩子。我为能帮妈妈做好家务感到开心。
从这一次扫地,让我明白一个道理:做任何事情都要讲究方法,讲究技巧,只有这样,做每一件事情才能成功。
我们小组准备的东西很齐全,就等老师一声令下。我们个个都很兴奋,组长马薇忙着给我们分工:“那个,刘晓怡和彭紫柯负责切黄瓜,涂经纬负责剥皮蛋,杨云皓来切西红柿!”我妥协了这个方案,尽管我有些讨厌皮蛋。
老师一声令下,我们赶紧忙了起来。教室里每个人都忙得不可开交,好一幅热闹的场景。我把皮蛋放在桌子角上轻轻地敲了几下,然后用手搓一搓,皮蛋壳就自然脱落了。我把剥好壳的皮蛋放入早已准备好的盘子,切成一瓣瓣漂亮的花形,在盘子四周摆成一个漂亮的图案。摆盘完毕,应放调料了,我小心翼翼地在皮蛋上洒了几粒味精,浇了一点儿香油。我总感觉像差了什么调料似的。这时,肖老师走了过来说:“皮蛋上面放一点儿剁辣椒,这样看起来更美观,口感也会好些。”说着,肖老师就把剁辣椒给拿了过来,我说了声“谢谢”,然后舀了一些辣椒酱均匀地淋到皮蛋上,哇,加工过的皮蛋看起来五颜六色,很漂亮,让人垂涎三尺。
接着我开始做凉拌木耳。我往旁边一看,杨云皓一边切西红柿一边吃,时不时还把手伸到旁边“偷”吃黄瓜,呵呵,真是个十足的大馋猫!我没有理会他,我把木耳拿过来,倒到盘里,分别放了点盐和香油,然后开始搅拌,搅着搅着,木耳和香油的味道一齐迸发出来,通通地钻入我的鼻中,搞得我“口水直流三千尺”。我的凉拌木耳大功告成,我忍不住尝了一口,哇,真好吃!我还想吃……可是等会儿大家要一起品尝,不能现在就吃光了,我只好强忍着不吃。
我的作品虽然完成了,可小组里还有成员没有完成,组长马薇在切千张皮。只见她先小心地用小刀把千张皮切成一条一条的,然后装进碗里,我还以为完成了呢,可是她又拿出一些千张皮条,像剁肉泥似的把千张皮剁得细细的,碎碎的,然后再装入碗中,看得我莫名其妙,有这样切千张皮的吗?
我们把所有的菜都摆到了桌上。哇,有黄瓜、木耳、火腿……颜色鲜艳,设计精致,看着就想吃。评奖时,我们组派出了“凉拌黄瓜”应战,最终以鲜艳的色彩,优美的.造型获得了“最美造型奖”,我们很开心。
终于到了开吃的时间,我拿起筷子就向千张皮“扑”去,太好吃啦!我开始不停地狂吃,这时,我扯出一长串千张皮,为了这美味的千张皮,我只好抛弃美好形象,把头仰得高高的,张开嘴,用筷子把长长的千张皮送进嘴里,不幸的是,这个不雅吃相被正在摄相的肖老师当场“咔嚓”一声给拍了下来。
做凉拌菜好玩又有趣,我回去也要做一次给爸妈品尝品尝。
(老师点评:佳作一篇!好一幅生动有趣的活动场景。凉拌菜的整个制作过程介绍清楚,描写生动,尤其是你制作“凉拌皮蛋”的过程描写相当细致,画面感强。马薇和杨云皓的特写镜头精彩传神!如果适当地写写课堂上同学们的语言,活动更显热闹和趣味。)
吃过饭后,我就兴奋地问:“奶奶,我可以洗一次碗吗?”“当然可以哦!”奶奶高兴地合不拢嘴。我心里想:虽然这是我第一次洗碗,但一定也没有什么难度的。
我穿上了围裙,来到洗碗池旁,准备开工。奶奶已经把东西给我准备好了。我先用小毛巾沾一沾水,倒上一点洗洁精,就朝着碗里擦呀擦。然后,打开水龙头,再用清水仔细地冲呀冲。就这样,一个一个的碗总算是洗干净了。奶奶夸我洗的碗擦的干净、光滑,我心里乐滋滋的。
趁着那股高兴劲头,我又开始整理沙发了,因为我发现下面积攒了一些垃圾。我找来扫把,将沙发推到一边,把下面的垃圾清扫干净。之后,就开始清扫两间卧室。这两间卧室的垃圾确实不少,清扫起来真麻烦,尤其是灰尘太多了,好像清扫不完似的。接着,该打扫客厅了,这需要消耗很多力气的。就在这时,奶奶站在旁边说:“要把每个角落、每个小地块都打扫干净才行啊”!照着奶奶的吩咐,我把每个角落包括桌子下面,甚至鞋柜底下都扫得非常彻底、干净。就这样一直忙到八点钟,我已经是满头大汗了。结果奶奶一检查,特地表扬了我。
这是我第一次做家务,真是太高兴了。不过,想想平时都是奶奶做这些家务活,真是挺累的。以后,我要多帮奶奶做些家务活,让奶奶多休息休息。
一个春光明媚的早晨,太阳公公露出了笑脸,灿烂的`阳光照耀着大地。
小明和小红穿着校服,戴着红领巾,排着整齐的队伍来到操场做早操。他们弯弯腰、伸伸腿,听着广播喊着口令:“一二三四,二二三四……”,做得多认真呀!
大树爷爷看见了,也挺直了腰板,仿佛在说:“真棒!我也要天天锻炼不偷懒。”风儿吹过,小草迎风飞舞,似乎在给小明鼓劲:“早睡早起精神好,坚持锻炼身体棒。”
