Weekend Kitchen——Don’t let down the good times

Get up early on weekends, go to the vegetable market to select ingredients and cook delicious food, not to please others, but to please yourself.

Weekend Kitchen: The mountain bamboo shoots are popping up quietly after the rain, the leeks are pulling out their tender leaf sheaths, and the river snails are planning to reproduce their offspring. People can’t wait to try them for a long time. I happened to meet a fishing uncle in the market with a small bucket of snails. I asked the vegetable grandma for the hottest chili. The proprietress of Shuixing highly recommended the wild eel caught from the countryside. She even gave it to me in a pocket full of blood. She said it was big. The supplement cannot be wasted. Wild mountain bamboo shoots, stir-fried eel and leek, scrambled eggs, spicy snails and cold fern root powder, all are great to drink with wine.

Weekend Kitchen: Falling in love can be a distraction, but making cakes can’t. You have to be patient when whipping cream, and choose sweet and juicy mangoes and strawberries. The secret to the delicious cake base is the addition of Eita brand cheese and the time-honored chestnut cake (a mix of Chinese and Western styles). Finally, I sprinkled with the luxurious Valrhona, which comes from the cocoa tree in the tropical clay layer of the Caribbean Sea. It has a rich floral and fruity aroma. A layer of cream, a layer of fruit, and a layer of wood bran are laid out layer by layer. The crispy bottom layer and soft filling. A subtle, exciting, bitter-sweet impact.

In the cold weather, you can smell the coolness when you open the window. There is a sweetness that seems to be nothing. With the dim lights, people are lazy. I am still not very skilled. This is the third baking in my life. , dedicated to this cool night.

Peach's breakfast: Romaine lettuce, endive, purple leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onions with Thousand Island dressing, plus cut mango for a tropical flavor. A golden sandwich fried with eggs and milk, filled with fresh vegetables. Grilled cheese thick toast is stacked with sweet corn salad and a runny omelette. The egg white is just bubbling and the edges are slightly drunk. Pastry baguette, banana, strawberry milk and fresh and juicy peaches are the first batch of peaches flown from Beijing to the south. If you can eat peaches, it means that a beautiful summer is coming.
