一天,妈妈不在家。我看见楼梯上蒙着许多灰尘,就想把楼梯擦一擦。当一回“清洁工”,做一件家务,给妈妈一个惊喜。
说干就干,我准备了一只盛有清水的水桶和一块干净的布。
我先把水桶拎到楼上,把布拧干,弓着腰,顺着楼梯一级一级地往下擦。把楼梯角落和表面上的灰尘一擦而光。渐渐地,我感到有点吃力,腰很酸,像压了一块十斤重的大石头,然后压得我喘可是气来。我自言自语地说:“这家务本来就是大人们做的,我才不自讨苦吃呢,不做了。”可我转眼又想到妈妈每一天要上班,又要料理许多家务,真是太辛苦了。我咬了咬牙,对自已说:“没关系,再忍一忍,反正立刻就要擦好了。”我只好硬着头皮之后擦。“啊!最后擦好了。“我直起身子,看着被我擦干净的楼梯整洁又明亮,舒心地笑了,心里别提有多高兴。
透过这次家务劳动,我到做家务劳动的辛苦。我平时就应多帮妈妈做家务,减轻妈妈的负担,同时也锻炼了我的生活潜力,真是一举两得呀!
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
说到吃,我可来劲儿了。各个地方的美食,我能如数家珍:北京的烤鸭,西安的羊肉泡馍,内蒙古的小肥羊,山西的刀削面……说到这些美食,现在的我都快垂涎三尺啦!
然而,我最喜欢的当属陕西的美味凉皮。刚刚蒸好的凉皮是一片圆圆的大白面片,普通得让人看都不想看一眼。但是,“化妆”后的凉皮那可就不一样了:柔糯可口的面筋,加上脆嫩多汁的切成丝儿的黄瓜,撒在浑身晶莹透亮的凉皮上,红艳艳的辣椒汁成了凉皮火红的美丽嫁衣,你便不得不被它美丽的外表所吸引。
凉皮的做法很简单。把蒸好的凉皮切成约两厘米的长条,再拌上黄瓜、花生和面筋,浇上汤汁,就成了细滑爽口的凉皮。
棕色的汤汁、鲜红的辣椒汁使晶莹透亮的凉皮若隐若现,犹如一只巨大的手掌紧紧地抓住了我的味蕾。我迫不及待地拿起了筷子,夹起了一条凉皮,慢慢地咀嚼着。第一口,嫩滑多汁;第二口,回味无穷……
“弟弟,你也尝尝,可好吃了,来一口?”
“哧溜”,弟弟尝了之后连连点头,好吃的话都说不出来了。
凉皮,我这个“小馋猫”最喜欢品尝的独特风味小吃。
世间美味无数,可是我认为最美味的还是我爸爸做的“木头”茄子。
做法其实非常的简单,只需要两种主要食材,茄子和花生。拿出三根茄子,用滚刀圈斜着切成块,用盐水浸泡十分钟左右让茄子有点咸味。
然后开始做酱料了,首先在碗里加一些酱油,然后撒一点儿盐,再放入少许白糖,滴几滴蚝油,搅拌均匀。接着在冷锅里倒油,油温升上之后把刚刚制成的酱料放锅里中火翻炒至爆出很大的香味,再将酱料盛出来备用。
不用洗锅直接再加点油,放茄子爆炒,直炒至茄子八成熟,放酱料小火翻炒到每一块茄子裹上酱汁,然后加入刚淹没过茄子的水量,小火慢炖,直至茄子软到不能再软,此时便可连着汤把茄子盛出来。
花生末是提前做好的,也是这道菜的点睛之笔。优选上等的花生,现场炒制,再用专门的研粉机,把花生研成花生末,此时花生的香味早已萦绕于我的鼻间,让我忍不住想尝一口。用筷子夹起浸在酱汁里的`一块软糯的茄子,放在花生末里打个滚,让茄子沾满花生末,此时整块茄子便成了一小块木头,这也是“木头茄子”的名字之由来。吃一口木头茄子再配上一口汤,那简直是人间美味。每次爸爸做这个菜的时候,我保证能足足多吃一碗饭,我想,这道菜之所以做得如此美味不是因为做法有多么复杂,而是创作这道菜的感情。正是因为我爱吃,所以每次做这道菜,爸爸都付出了极大爱与耐心。
其实爸爸还会做很多好吃的美食,美食带给我幸福感,让我品尝到家的味道。
在我的家乡无锡,有着许多美食,小笼包、酱排骨、玉兰饼……而美味可口的豆腐花更是广受欢迎。
我走进卖豆腐花的小店,点了一碗豆腐花。只见店主先从桶里舀了几勺豆腐花放进小碗里,那雪白的豆腐如同一朵朵盛开的小白花,干净纯洁。接着淋上棕褐色的酱油,放上黑紫色的紫菜,白色的小虾米,绿油油的葱花,金黄色的榨菜,撒上白花花的味精和盐。最后,一碗热气腾腾的豆腐花就端在我的手里,一股浓浓的豆香味直钻鼻孔,而我早已是口水直流三千尺了。
我迫不及待地拿起小勺子,舀了一小块嫩豆腐,放进口中。还没来得及嚼,豆腐花就在嘴里化了开来。咸中带甜的味道在口中涌动,舌头上的每一个味蕾仿佛刚从冬眠中醒来,个个都张开嘴巴贪婪地吮吸着、品尝着。将豆腐咽下,鲜香可口的味道霎时充满了全身每个角落,令我回味无穷、浑身舒畅。
这么好吃的豆腐花是怎么做出来的呢?先把黄 豆 放在水中泡四、五个小时,再将豆子放入豆浆机内,磨成豆浆,接着加入少量石膏水,然后装入容器煮几分钟,最后将容器盖好,静置5—10分钟,豆腐就做好了。听起来是不是很简单,可是要做得好就全得凭师傅的经验和手艺了。
无锡的豆腐花真是“此味只应天上有,人间哪得几回尝”,大家也来尝尝这人间美味吧!
放假的一天,我在家里十分无聊,不能看电视也不能上网玩游戏,因为妈妈说怕把眼睛弄近视了。我不明白该干什么好。于是,我低头看了看客厅的地板,地板上有很多黑黑的脚印和一层厚厚的灰尘,我想:肯定是妈妈很长时光没有拖地扫地了。平时妈妈上班那么累,而且我还在地上扔一些果皮纸屑,不如,我就帮妈妈做一次家务吧!
说做就做。我先拿着扫帚和撮子,用扫帚把地上的果皮纸屑扫进撮子里,然后把垃圾倒掉,就开始拖地了。我先拿了一个桶,然后拧开水龙头,把里面接一半水,再用拖把沾一点水,把水沥干。我拿着拖把来到客厅,刚想开始拖地,就想起妈妈拖地时对我说的话:拖地时要右手向下左手向上的拿着拖把,要不然,地就拖不干净。我先把拖鞋底弄干净,然后按妈妈的方法拿拖把,从门旁边开始拖。我拖了一遍觉得很累,而且地也没有拖干净,就产生了想放下的念头,我心想:要是我放下了,不就是半途而废吗?所以我不能放下。我拖了10分钟,最后把地拖好了,看见客厅的地板干干净净的,我十分高兴,这时候才明白了成功的喜悦。
这天我十分高兴,因为我不仅仅仅学会了拖地,还从这件事中明白了一个道理:做任何事情都不能半途而废,必须要坚持到底。而且我以后要多帮妈妈做一些力所能及的事,在家里做妈妈的好帮手!
