昨天我们三人到好男儿外公外婆那里吃晚饭。丈人拿出浙江都市快报让我看有关孩子长高的一篇报道。上面说，5月6月是孩子长个子最快的两个月。孩子身高除了遗传父母，更重要的是睡眠，锻炼和饮食。一般7到12岁小孩每天要保证10个小时，13岁到17岁9个小时。而且7到12岁孩子最好晚上8点睡觉。我家好男儿在睡眠上做的很不错，应该说我们做的很不错，很小的时候每天都是7点半睡觉，现在读小学最晚是8点20分睡觉，基本也是每天8点，以前上幼儿园包括之前还天天睡午觉，但是小学里就没有睡午觉，虽然中午他们有短暂的休息时间，但是靠在桌上睡觉还是弊大于利，所以保证孩子晚上充分的睡眠相当重要，因为孩子只有进入深睡眠大脑才会分泌生长激素。所以我觉得在孩子上高中之前，我怎么都得保证他每天至少9个小时的睡眠。医生说了，睡眠对孩子的智力和身高影响很大。报纸上还说，游泳锻炼可以让一个孩子额外长高至少4厘米，恩，看来好男儿暑假还是得天天去游泳锻炼啊！在饮食方面，医生还建议多喝牛奶，适量多吃瘦肉，蔬菜和各种水果，但是建议不要吃桂圆干，荔枝干，蜂皇浆，养殖的黄鳝，人参，这些可能会让孩子早熟，这大家要注意了啊！还有炸鸡腿，可乐等饮料等尽量不吃或者不喝！

 

    现在是初夏时期，早晚温度还算适宜，但是白天最高的时候也会窜到30度甚至更高，所以这个时候大家都喜欢吃点凉点的东西。凉面自然在夏天很受欢迎，如果能搭配上一碗温热的粥和几个炒菜，那么真是很有营养的晚餐了啊。今天Tony给大家推荐我自己独创的凉面。说是独创，其实也有点夸张了，因为做凉面用的调料大都差不多，比如酱油啊，麻油啊之类的，但是上次我无意中多加了几种调料，居然做出了不同口感的好吃的凉面，今天就跟大家一起分享一下吧。

 

原料：面条

调料：色拉油   凉拌汁  生抽   老抽   香油 

      辣油  鸡汤   香葱   白糖   熟白芝麻

 

做法：

1.锅中把水烧开；

2.加入面条；

3.煮开后中间点两次冷水，每次半碗；

4.面条过水冲凉后放入事先准备好的冰水里再次过凉；

5.滤干面条水分后加入适量色拉油搅拌，防止其粘连，放入冰箱冷藏；

 

 

6.香葱切碎后放入碗里；

7.倒入一些凉拌汁；

8.加入一勺辣椒油；

9.加入两勺生抽，一勺老抽；

10.加入一勺香油，小半勺白糖；

11.加入几勺鸡汤，搅拌后加入到冷藏好的面条里；

12.撒上白芝麻就可以吃了。



秘籍：

1.做凉面第一点就是煮面，太生太熟都会影响口感，一般我是面条煮开后点两次冷水就差不多，冷水的量是半碗左右，另外一个方法就是夹开面条看到里面的白芯快要没了就一定要拿出了，或者在煮的时候可以尝一下面条，比平时吃煮面条要少煮一点时间就可以，因为面条拿出后还会继续变软，所以这个这个火候一定要把握好；

2.阻止面条继续变软变糊方法是让面条快速冷却，要凉水冲，最好再用冰水过凉一下更好；

3.让面条不粘一定要记得在面条过凉滤干水分后要马上用食用油搅拌一下，否则面条很容易粘连在一起，那等一下就没法做凉拌面了，面条变成面疙瘩了啊。

4.现在市面上有凉拌汁卖，没有不放也可以，加生抽是为了入味，老抽是上色，辣油是让面更香辣，用量自然是看你吃辣的程度，一点点白糖是增鲜，绝不可以多加，我想没人喜欢吃甜的面条；

5.我今天特意加了几勺鸡汤，而且最好是带点鸡油的鸡汤，真的味道太好了；

6.我又加入了熟的白芝麻，让味道更香浓了。

7.面条里放入凉拌的汁后要一次吃完，这个时候不可以放置很久在吃，那样因为面条里有了水分也会越来越糊的，所以你看你到外面店里吃凉拌面，面条人家早就做好了，但是凉拌汁是等你吃的时候再放入面条的啊！

       
       

至于很多人总是问，这个调料里适量是多少？其实你大可不必担心，多加一点少加一点关系不大，慢慢你会试出自己喜欢的味道，这就是我们中餐的魅力，所以为什么我们发现同样的一道菜，调料一样，每家每户的味道都是不一样的啊!我们都喜欢妈妈做的菜，那是因为我们从小吃惯了啊呵呵。长大了，你自己会做菜了，也会形成自己独有的味道，那就是将来自己孩子长大后一直会惦记的家的味道啊！

学习英语：母亲节-打动妈妈的心 Three ways to Mom’s heart on Mother’s Day

母亲节（Mother's Day），是一个感谢母亲的节日。这个节日最早出现在古希腊；而现代的母亲节起源于美国，是每年5月的第二个星期日。母亲们在这一天通常会收到礼物，康乃馨被视为献给母亲的花，而中国的母亲花是萱草花，又叫忘忧草。

Of all the holidays that pressure us to shower loved ones with gifts of adulation, Mother’s Day is the one most worth celebrating.

Planning a pleasant brunch on a sun-kissed patio or organizing a fancy dinner is the least one can do to repay Mom for all the care she put into raising her children.

Mom’s favorite things

“I think brunch to me is what Mother’s Day is all about,” said Cleveland restaurateur and Food Network personality Michael Symon, owner of Lola on E. 4th St., Lolita in Tremont, and B Spot in Woodmere. “An epic brunch. It should be all about your mom.”

Symon stressed that details are the most important part of a Mother’s Day brunch.

“Make sure you have all those things there that you know your mom loves,” Symon said. “Her favorite things to eat, her favorite things to drink. You should have her favorite flowers on the table. This should be a day that’s not about you at all and completely embraces your mother.”

Decision, decisions, decisions

Not everyone can cook a Mother’s Day feast like Symon does for his mom, but there are multiple options when it comes to picking a restaurant at which to celebrate.

Brian Lachman, manager at flour restaurant in Moreland Hills, said he anticipates around 400 guests between the restaurant’s Mother’s Day brunch and dinner specials.

“Usually with Mother’s Day, it’s a big brunch kind of day,” Lachman said. “It’s going to be more comfort food. The families can sit and relax and appreciate their mothers. And then for dinners, we’re going to have a condensed dinner menu, but we’re going to have some exciting specials.”

More people are currently signed up for flour’s brunch option, but Lachman said “a lot of people don’t want to necessarily go to a really fine dining experience” for Mother’s Day.

Especially when the restaurant’s most popular brunch special – “Italian eggs Benedict” – is on the menu.

People opting for a dining excursion should plan for packed venues, especially in the afternoon.

“Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year for most restaurants,” said Kevin Barthauer, general manager of Abuelo’s Mexican Food Embassy in Warrensville Heights. “It’s a huge day for the industry. You’re going to see long waits. Look for some place that has a buffet or some sort of limited menu. Or adjust your timing. Going a little later in the evening is usually better or going right away in the morning.”

Wives are mothers, too

While moms take center stage on Mother’s Day, wives can’t be overlooked when it comes to celebrating.

“I like to take my wife out,” said Barthauer, who advises getting a babysitter for such an occasion. He said his four sons make going out a challenge.

“I plan to take my own advice with this at some point. If I were to come home and say to my wife, ‘Honey, I’ve arranged for us to have a babysitter, and we’re going out to eat,’ that would just make her day, big time.”

What about the perfect Mother’s Day treat?

“My wife would say, ‘Absolutely give me a margarita,’” said Barthauer, laughing.

Sometimes His eyes were gentle and filled with laughter
And sometimes they cried
Sometimes there was a fire of Holy anger
In Jesus' eyes
But the eyes that saw hope in the hopeless
That saw through the fault to the need
Are the same eyes that look down from heaven
Into the deepest part of you and me
And His eyes are always upon us
His eyes never close in sleep
And no matter where you go
You will always be in His eyes
In His eyes
Sometimes His voice comes calling like rolling thunder
Or like driving rain
And sometimes His voice is quiet and we start to wonder
If He knows our pain
But He who spoke peace to the water
Cares more for our hearts than the waves
And the voice that once said, "You're forgiven."
Still says, "You're forgiven", today
Today
Sometimes I look above me when stars are shining
And I feel so small
How could the God of heaven and all creation
Know I'm here at all
But then in the silence He whispers:
"My child, I created you too
and you're my most precious creation
I even gave my Son for you."
And His eyes are always upon you
His eyes never close in sleep
and no matter where you go
you will always be in His eyes
no matter where you go
you will always be in His eyes
Sometimes His eyes were gentle
and filled with laughter
