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
世界上没有两片完全相同的树叶,也不可能有两个完全相同的我,我就是我,不一样的烟火。
我虽是个女孩却在身上找不到一处像个女孩的地方:尚未及肩的短发,健康的小麦色的皮肤,白T恤纯蓝牛子裤的着装,时而如疾风般迅跑,时而如鲤鱼出水一样腾空跃起……裙袂飞扬,轻语娇笑,这些从不属于我,父母曾努力让我“淑女”一点儿,可我依旧我行我素,为什么女孩就要得像个女孩样儿?
小学的时候,班上有一只上蹿下跳,满地打滚的“猴子”,那就是我。就连老师也常常唤我“调皮鬼”。我从不在女孩群里跳皮筋,丢手绢,而是随男孩子在篮球场上叱咤风云,久而久之,我也成了女孩中唯一的篮球高手。
初中的时候,面临着参加体育考试,张老师就开始让我们练跑步,跳远,跳绳等考试项目。有一次,张老师让我给大家示范跳远,我向来都是直性子,不像有的女生,扭捏害羞,于是勇气十足的站在了起跳线上,大家站在旁边给我加油助威。身姿娇健的我,“嗖”一下像青蛙一样的跳了出去,“哇”!两米,“好厉害呀”!同学们用崇拜的目光看着我。张老师亲切地对我说:“你跳的很好!”“但是你起跳的动作有点小瑕疵,你改改会跳得更远。”我信心十足地又试了一下,张老师赞不绝口,“两米二”,于是“女汉子”就成了我的代号。
记得还有一次,奶奶给我一个独立自主的机会,让我自己上街理发,我随意选了家理发店,刚一坐下,还没来得及开口,理发发师就拿着电剪刀往我头上一扫,糟糕,这叫我如何见人呀!一个正宗的蘑菇头在镜子里出现了。第二天,我刚一进教室,就引起一阵哄笑,同桌幸灾乐祸地抚摸着我的头说:“乖乖”好可爱的一个蘑菇头呀!我告诉爷爷、奶奶,他们都笑得合不拢嘴,我也十分惊讶,惊讶的是那理发师把我当成男孩子了。
原想女大十八变,我能变得像个女生,哪知我越大越像男生,“她居然是女的呀!”从小到大,这句话我都听厌了,自然不觉得奇怪!但回想起来,还真想笑!
“我就是我,不一样的烟火”社会在变换节奏,生活在变换姿态,数着一圈圈的年轮我们却矢志不渝的前行。在唏嘘中创造奇迹,在逆境中闯出未来,因为我就是我,绚烂美丽的烟火!
明,嘉靖三年,七月,戊寅。父亲的执意离去让我迷惑不解。父亲明明可以坚持,与坐在皇位上的那个工于心计的少年斗争到底,却为何突然选择放弃?面对疑惑并气恼的`我,一直被我视为榜样的父亲笑了笑,淡淡地说:“到时候你自然会明白。”但我还是认为,一定是昏庸的皇帝作祟,让父亲被迫离去。此仇不报非君子!

明,嘉靖三年,七月,戊寅。“国家养士百五十年,仗节死义,正在今日!”跪在左顺门前,我与身后所有义愤填膺的大臣一起,朝皇帝,朝那些佞臣,爆发出我们愤怒的,压抑已久的呐喊……
公元1524年,杨慎约集群臣于左顺门前列宫大哭,抗议非法逮捕朝臣,声彻宫廷。

明,嘉靖三年,七月,戊寅。正义在这个黑暗的朝廷终究得不到伸张。带着满身的伤痕,我被流放到了穷乡僻壤。但这对我也是一个净化心灵的契机。游山玩水、吟诗作对,不再关心朝政的我渐渐找到了生命的乐趣。但是心中的那个疑团却一直无法解开。父亲为何不坚持己见,而是主动放弃首辅的职位,致仕回乡呢?
公元1524年七月,杨慎被捕,廷杖两次,后充军云南。

明,嘉靖八年,癸未。父亲在家乡去世了,得到了安息。跪在父亲的坟茔前,回忆起父亲入葬前那从容的笑,我忽然找到了一直在寻找的答案。数十年的尔虞我诈、你争我夺,对父亲来说,已经到头了。没有人是最终的胜利者,谁都无法逃过铩羽的命运。那些峨冠博带、冠盖竹笏,终不过称为汗青上的断章残篇。仰望天上云卷云舒,我不禁一声长叹。父亲,想来你早已厌倦了吧。
滚滚长江东逝水,浪花淘尽英雄。是非成败转头空。青山依旧在,几度夕阳红?
白发渔樵江渚上,惯看秋月春风。一壶浊酒喜相逢。古今多少事,都付笑谈中。
历古千年,勾心斗角,是是非非,不过如此!
放弃,也是一种美。
晚上,我和爸妈来到一家名为“澳门豆捞”的店。走进大厅,一阵嘈杂声在耳边响起,我这才发现每张桌子旁都坐满了人,随即,一阵香味飘进我的鼻子,更激发了我吃豆捞的***。我们走进303包厢,只见桌子上摆着许多生的食物,桌子的左右两侧,都放着一个大锅,我这才明白,原来豆捞指的'就是火锅。我在座位上仔细一看,这些菜真令我眼花缭乱,有鸡尾虾,深海蟹……和各种各样的蔬菜和粉丝,我口水都快流下来了。这时服务员拿了一个瓶子给我们倒酱油,他还说,这是日本进口的酱油。听了这番话,我迫不及待的尝了尝,国外的就是不一样,味道简直妙极了。我从锅里捞出了一个用竹竿串起来的鸡尾虾,剥了皮,沾了酱油,咬了一口,那味道就像天上神仙吃的食物一般,我感觉有点轻飘飘了。
接着,服务员又把几块石斑鱼肉放进锅里煮。石斑鱼全身都布满了黑红相间的颜色,听说它还是大海深处的鱼呢!怪不得它叫石斑鱼。服务员捞出一块熟了的鱼肉放入我碗中,原本红红的肉,现在已变得白白嫩嫩了。我连同酱油咬了一口,那种滋味,可以和鸡尾虾相姘美……
最后一道菜上来了,每个人都有一个小碗,碗里装着米饭。我心里疑惑不解:米饭能做一道菜吗?米饭有什么好吃的?我不经意间尝了一口,真实妙不可言。那种米长长的,有的是棕褐色的,闻去还有一股腊肉的香味,吃起来很有嚼劲,口感细腻,也不粘牙缝,可好吃了!服务员说,这叫沙锅饭。我忙对妈妈说:“回去一定要给我做哦!”
在回家的路上,我看到了许多火锅店,我就会想起那鸡尾虾,石斑鱼,沙锅饭……
