99 ways to cook eggs

Because of the two fried eggs I ate this morning, I decided to write a whole blog about eggs to feedback. I was surprised by one person's action this morning:" May I have 4 fried eggs please?" That was amazing! In fact, when I was standing in line, a dining hall faculty asked me:" Are you waiting for (two) fried eggs?" " Yes is am." Although I was curious about the left fried egg in the iron pan, I kept waiting in the line, then I saw the 4 fried eggs man.

Back to china , I also ate fried eggs in the morning because I think fried eggs are tasted much better than scrambled eggs. Usually, my mom only cook 2 fried eggs in the morning, one for my father and the other for me. She always said to me it is harmful to eat too many eggs. Did she deceive me about this? Although i don't think my mom will say a unreal word to me, I checked it last night. "In fact, a single medium sized egg contains 186 mg of cholesterol, which is 62% of the recommended daily intake." I found this I information on the website. If you eat too many eggs, you will be poisoned by too much protein in the eggs. 

I start to worry about that 4 fried eggs man. Actually too much eggs make people feel disgusting. Several months ago, I order a wrong Chinese food meal: tomato fried egg, 2 fried eggs, egg fried rice and egg drop soup. I must say that, that meal was horrible. I felt nausea about eggs for almost a week. 

Another way to cook eggs is boiling. In a long period I didn't want to eat boiled eggs when I was in primary school. I think the boiled eggs must smell like chicken' dung. Every time when I see boiled eggs on the table, I didn't want to eat anything any more. I don't know why I changed this strange habit, but I eat them now, with sauce oil or hot pickle mustard tuber. Wait, I got this word "hot pickle mustard tuber" from the dictionary. It only has two syllables in Chinese. In fact, English menus are so specific. For example, if there is a Chinese rice dumpling called "Lian Rong Rou Zong" in English it is called "Glutinous rice stuffed with ground lotus seeds wrapped in reed leaves." That's really funny. If you write a Chinese menu into English, you will know how to cook it immediately.

Last one is steamed egg. There is a big differences between American and Chinese steamed eggs. It is hard to describe the differences, but Chinese steamed egg is much like semi-liquid. I love to mix them with rice and shrimp, that was delicious, but I can never eat them in america. First of all steamed egg in America is custard. The second is American never eat that kind of 2cm long shrimp in river.

·                 what should breakfast be

In fact, several years ago, I like to eat breakfast everyday. When I was in primary school, every morning my grandfather sent me to school by bus, we would get off the bus one station earlier, and eat breakfast in a breakfast bar. I usually ordered a bowl of noodle, Steamed Buns or wonton soup. Talking about wonton soup, I have a question that I can still not figure out in these 3 years. Why American people call chicken noodles soup when Chinese people call it “chicken soup noodles”, and call wonton soup when Chinese people only call it “wonton”? When you hear chicken noodle soup, you must think it is a kind of soup, and the core of this dish is soup, right? But the real chicken soup noodles is focusing on noodles. Chinese people eat chicken soup noodles on their birthday and call it longevity noodle, but not “longevity soup”. The same theory as wonton, when you eat wonton soup, the first thing come up in your mind is eating the wonton or drink the soup? Then why people call it wonton soup? If you only boil the big size wonton, the “soup” of boiling the wonton will taste like nothing, will you still call it wonton soup?

A good breakfast can always give people the power to work for the whole morning. When you are in the class, the breakfast you just ate coming out in your mind is a basket steaming hot buns, you will feel satisfied and then put your effort into the works; if the breakfast coming out was a plate of scrambled eggs,then you must feel exhausted and suddenly lose all of your energy to work. I guess that is why I always feel sleepy all of the time. Although the main problem must be the age, if I want to get my energy back as I was in primary school, I must look for a good breakfast. There is no delicious noodles or buns anymore, and what I eat every day is potatoes and eggs without new meaning.

 I am a normal high school student,but not an ancient emperor, why I become such captious? I just read an article about American’s catering compare with other countries. In this field, Americans show the world their biggest weakness: the food culture in American is too simple and dull. When I first year come to America, in American Culture class Ms Lazarus taught us American is a melting pot. At the first I could not understand why it is called melting pot, is it relate to food? Now I realize it is! American absorb the food culture from a lot of countries, but almost lose the key point of every countries’ dishes. Fortunately there are a lot of people come from other countries. If you want to eat some good food, you must go to avoid to eat thing cooked by American chief.

I left scrambled eggs for a while now and I fell in love with waffles. Now the problem is not getting fat. To reach 500 words I prepare to write about how breakfast relate to oh life. Another point is asking people who else in the dining hall about how they feel. These two points may help me write something else in the next week.

I was so excited about the prom, but I won't go.

The prom is so exciting, but it doesn't relate to me.

The speech was so inspiring, so everyone gained some ideas except me.

I was inspired by the apple products, but then bought a PC.

 Long time no see, waffles.

I almost missed it this morning. My bed is too comfortable to me. The forecast says that tomorrow will be very cold, so it should be harder to get up. Diningware came back！Finally they fixed the dish-washing machine, then I won't hear the sound make by foamed plastic.
Maybe I am not perspective at all, I was so surprised to see the waffle bakers. They almost disappeared for 2 years!
These was a thing attracted my to eat breakfast, and actually I did when I first year come here. That was waffle. After it disappear later of my fresh year, I reduce the time of getting to breakfast. I must say that, waffles with caramel are so delicious, but also cause people get fat. I have to say "thanks" to waffles, for increasing 40 pounds of my weight. Last year, I seldom saw waffles any more except some times for dinner desert. Waffles with ice-cream are fantastic either, but they make people fat certainly.
Although I know the harm of eating too much waffles, I still made one for myself, and I was really good-cooked. Making waffles will be full of fun if you miss some steps. The step that people forget most of the time is spraying oil into the pan.

Did you ever taste the over cooked waffles? It taste like...bitter bread. The main point is not over cooked, but cooked without oil. It was so dry that you must drink a lot of milk with it. The liquid flour came from the machine smelled so good, so I even want to taste a little bit before cooked. It smelled like cream and vanilla, two kind of thing that make you fat. After spraying the oil into the pan, we can pour flour into it. I still remember the first I poured too much flour into the pan, and it flow down, made another “waffle” out of the pan. I think some time I have obsession, so I must fill the caramel in every cell on the waffle. It still taste good like before. In China, waffles are all sold in the supermarket as an ending product. It is a pity I can not cook like an waffle cookie, but it is enough to have waffles instead of eating cereal everyday. Of course I can not eat waffles everyday, because it will make me fatter.

Thursday’s morning was tough, because I had free again. I ate cereal again because i need to avoid to eat waffles everyday.Different than dinner and lunch, in the morning people are sitting with their friends but not girl/boy friends. As usual I can see Frank, Leo and those people who goes to dinner every day. These days I saw a lot of people eat bagels; maybe I will try to make one tomorrow, because I can save a lot of time from it. Friday are always hard to get up.

revision of jennifer's blog

While I was busy in cleaning the ceiling, someone came up behind me. It was my mom. She was angry to see the kitchen in a mess, and my motion must be super funny and silly. The cabinets were all opened, and some eggs, pepper and chili powder were on the stove and floor.


She found a punishment for me —I had to clean the kitchen first and wash all the dishes for one month. Well, after I have done all the things my mom assigned me, I realized it was so tired to do the housework. My first cooking experience turned out to be a disaster and I had to do one month drudge….I mean “ sham chef ”. But I was happy with my accomplishment, since at least I knew how tired my mom was, and I would never tried to turn the egg upside down in the pan!

                           Oh come on...

A new day is coming! This is Monday morning on 20th April 2015. I am writing on my iPad with an unclear mind. The morning comes earlier and earlier. One month ago when I got up at this time it was still dark outside, but the sun is rising up high right now. It is 6:40, let me just sleep for 40 minutes then go to brush my teeth...

That was what I wrote this morning. Yes, I decided to write this blog by writing in pieces and then combine them together. This will make it look like a diary, and I can record everything just after it happened. What I planned was looking for some fun things happened on the way to the dining hall and then write them down, but the truth was: There is nothing to write with, because I did not even see an alive people. Wait, actually there was. 

It rained all day long. It got big during the extra help time, but only rained a little in the morning. When I walked outside VdP, I felt the raindrop touched my head. Heading back to the room, I suddenly realized that I left my umbrella in Humanity building. “It seems to get bigger, but it will be fine until I got back. I hope so.” After thinking for a while, I walked towards the dining hall.

China plates and iron forks had not come back yet. I received a precise information about the reason: the dish-washing machines was broken. I hope we can get them back because I hate the feeling of forks inserting through the plate.

I found a lot of earthworms on the ground! Although it influenced my appetite, it means that I finally found something other than breakfast. Those earthworms on the ground were not lucky at all. Almost every one of them had been stepped on. I even saw the vestige of wheel on an earthworm in front of the dining hall. I heard that Gordon made some sentences of Lyric about them in Chinese, but I can not remember those amazing rhythmical sentences any more.

Plates, forks and cups has not come back still. For real, I enjoy the plastic one-off cup, because it can be filled in more drinks than the regular one; I do not need to carry 2 cups at the same time.

I could always see my friend Frank every morning in the dining hall. It seems like since he became a day student, he came for breakfast every morning. He was so surprised the first time when he saw me, because both of us weren’t used to eat breakfast.

By the way, the breakfast in the dining hall still don’t have improvement at all, but I start to be used to it. I figured out that, because of the cooking level, even the same thing cooked by the same chief have different tastes in different days. It’s so sad.

Sentences

I slept in the Field House last night.
I slept on the bench of the Field House last night.
I slept at the corner of the Field House last night.
I have slept in the Field House since the faculty members left there last night.
I slept in the Field House until the faculty came this morning.
I woke up because I heard some noise coming from the front door of the Field House.
I hid in the bathroom of the Field House, so the faculty members didn't see me.
I escaped from the back door for my 30-day challenge.
I walked towards the dining hall by my feet.
That was why I did not carry my homework with me.

what I learnt

In the last week of challenge, I realized the tough of getting up. It always be a tough time when I heard the clock ring. I was doubting about this action. Is it really worked for having a good habit? The answer is yes, but I focused on a wrong way. The original aim of mine was going to dining hall and finding some interests to write, but not eating breakfast and recording what were they tasted like. My idea for this week is going to memorize those moments I see when I walk to the dining hall instead of writing about those boring food. It will help me a lot when I want to write a blog and it will make my blogger more colorful. I learnt that the challenge for writing class will not only be a mission, but a chance to change my life and improve writing skill. I realized that I misunderstood the point of the challenge before. I am happy to find out this serious problem just after a week, so I can have more time to fix it, and follow the right path to finish it. It will be always fun to walk to the dining hall every morning I hope.

                                So, What was my aim?

I must say, it was too tough to get up in the weekends. Weekends were the time I used to charge my sleeping storage before, so I spent every morning in my dream during the weekends before. In the past 2 days, I found a very serious hidden trouble: if I can not sleep until 12 o’clock, I will not get charged enough. Oh my god, the next Thursday and Friday I am going to be a walking dead in the morning again.

These two days breakfast did not amaze me at all. I came out a question in these two days: Why there must be some eggs in the morning? Back to china, there were 3 types of eggs i can see in the morning; they are boiled eggs, steamed eggs and fired eggs. My mother says that eggs are full of nutrition although everything has. I acknowledge that eggs are one of most necessary parts in cooking, but too many eggs could make people feel uncomfortable. Now in the dining hall, scrambled egg waves its hand to me every morning. If i don’t see scrambled egg once in the dining hall , that must be the biggest surprise I ever have. 

What were my goals for eating breakfast? Sometimes I forget about them in a sudden. These days i was doubting about this action. Is it really worked for having a good habit? Sometimes when I got up in the morning I hated myself a lot. For me, it is hard to do and write. When other classmates are writing about their new photos, new sentences and new poems, I am think about how to make fun with my scrambled eggs. Again, should I keep doing it? For example, last Wednesday was a really tough day to get up. Even though I caught some Zs after I finished breakfast, they were discontinuous. It straightly affected my state in the second period’s presentation. I didn’t know what I was talking about in the first 3 minutes. My goals were have a good living habit, but it must be something wrong if it affects my studying. In the past one week, I put my center of challenge into “eat breakfast and remember what are they looked and tasted like”, but not “go to dining hall and find something interesting to write”. It deviated from my truck. 

In the next week, I will try to change my thoughts. Instead of writing about those boring food, I will memorize those moments I see when I walk to the dining hall. I will try to use my imagination, to find some more interesting things I can write that happen in the morning. I misunderstand the aims I set up when the challenge started. It is only the first week and I am glad that I found this problem. I believe the next blog can be much different from before.

Blog 3

Should I keep do it?

This is the third blog post. I am feeling like I have nothing to write about breakfast. It is hard to insist keeping eating breakfast for a week.

Now breakfast time became an important time of my life. For example,this morning there was a College fair. It started at 8:40 so I had enough time to eat breakfast, and I actually ate it. From 7:30 to 8:30, I stayed in the dining hall for one whole hour, chatted with some other Juniors about that fair. I used to sleep until 9:00 and skip the first time, but now I use this time to communicate with others. Breakfast helped to build the relationships with other students who eat breakfast.

I talked about breakfast, and it fresh my mind in the morning because I can get up early. In the college fair, there were 3 mandatory interviews. I was so nervous about them when I got up, but after I talked about those interviews with those students who ate breakfast, I still don’t have idea about them.The first interview was talking with a faculty from St Louis University,in spain. I did quite bad about it, because i was still thinking about the things I ate for the breakfast, cereal. Then after I digest them, my mouth became more active, and my brain was able to work again. During the three interviews, I was keeping thinking about will the smell of breakfast affect the interview.

These days I realized a new thing. The hardest point is not persisting eating breakfast or getting up earlier or sleeping earlier. The hardest point is writing a blog with 500 words. If you ask why I can not write a 500 hundred blog, i will tell you:" It is because the dining hall! Their breakfast inalterable for ever!."I really want to write a advice to the chief of the school :"Could you please,please cook some "writtenable" breakfast please???" I guess if  I can not find some other things to write with, in the next week's blog post, I will write like milk is white, egg is yellow, strawberry is red. That not will be fun I think. If I have to do that, forgive me please, because that is dining hall 's fault.

This morning, Friday. There were some strange things happened in dining hall: Plates and forks are changed into plastic. Maybe they lost power during the night time?Or they were just lazy to wash them. There is a good new,I ate something different than cereal! I was something called corned beef bula bula bula. It was very delicious, by mixing potatoes and beef together. Suddenly I realized that, it still have some joy to eat breakfast in dining hall. Although during most of the time dining hall only provides eggs and potatoes, they will seldom cook some suitable food for human being. Everyday I can look forward to finding a surprise in dining hall, and then I have the power to wake up in the early morning.

Easy to say, Hard to do

I don't want to get up! That was what I thought when I woke up today. It is only Tuesday, but my storage of sleeping is nearly run out. It is getting harder and harder to get up at a warm spring morning. Spring always makes people sleepy, and certainly, I am one of those people. There is a judgement came out in my mind: The value of breakfast can never compare with the value of 30 minutes sleeping. Probably I will give up my journeys to the dining hall as soon as I finish the challenge. I haven't find out any worthy reason for breakfast except it forced me to sleep earlier, but what happen if I have too much work to do? Will I get up in the next morning?

Breakfast in the dining hall are still unalterable. When this morning I walked into dining hall, i received a sad news: the kind of cereal I ate everyday before ran out. Finally the day comes, I have to jump into the world with scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs and scrambled eggs! What I got for the breakfast was bacon, potatoes and certainly, scrambled eggs.I thought of something when I looked at my plate. Last year when I went for breakfast after break, I always put ketchup and mayonnaise on the scrambled eggs. After I excitedly add those 2 sauce into eggs and put them into my mouth, I realized the flavor don’t fit my taste anymore.

People in the dining hall almost didn’t change. I think the reason of it is those are the people like me,and those people,  I did not see, I think will never appear in the dining hall.Almost every morning I could see Matthew and KP from the dorm to the dining hall. Sat on the seat and played with the fork, I saw Leo again.I am pretty sure they goes for breakfast everyday. It is unfair! How can they has breakfast without panda eyes!

I feel more and more like I can not finish this challenge. Although I told myself can not give up, my body might disagree with it. When someday my body win my brain, I will stay on my bed until 8:10.

Something fun happened today.When I was still in dining hall at 8:12 this morning,Harry Li went to my room to ask me if I want to walk to English class with him. “When I get into your room, I saw something wriggling in the quilt.Then I told roommate it was 8:12.” “That is what he does everyday. He’s so confident about his speed of dressing. What did he say to you?” “Oh,Shoot.”

It rains this morning and I took my umbrella. Because my brain was not so clear at that time, my right middle finger was pinched by the umbrella. That’s all breakfast’s fault! This story tells us a theory, it is very dangerous to eat breakfast.

How is it feeling now?

I suffered in getting up in the morning, especially on the weekend! It is really hard to get up at the last few days in a week. I catch enough sleep during the weekend, but I can only store them until Wednesday. I can tell what will happen after 3 days, the first Thursday in a full week, I might become a panda. During the weekend I usually wake up around 12:00 o'clock but the brunch starts much earlier. I have to leave my comfortable bed to step towards dining hall, and then come back for sleep.

The meal for breakfast were still...in my expected, scrambled egg, ham and bacon still dominate the breakfast. I could only survive with my cereal and milk. There are 26 days left, and I hope I can persist to the end.

In the good part, I am not that sleepy in the class camparing with my imagination. The air in the morning has it special CO2 smelling from the plant. I am glad to have time to watch these sceneries, than rushing towards the classroom.

            How eating breakfast change our lives?

I seldom ate breakfast before. All what I do were enjoying 30 more minutes sleep instead of heading to the dinning hall. These 30 minutes are not that much, but it effectively help me to be full of energy. Every morning, my roommate set up a clock around 7 o’clock, but he never gets up. After the alarm clock ring, I can sleep for 45 more minutes, and it feels like 3 more hour. These similar situation had last almost for 3 years after I came to the United State. 

· My 30 days challenge’s is getting up for breakfast by sacrificing my second sleep everyday. Although to some people it does not look like a challenge, it is the roughest mission to us somnolent people. There is nothing can be hurtful than sacrificing my sleep time.

· Back to 3 years ago, when I was studying in China, my mom woke me up everyday. Every morning, a fancy breakfast would put on the table. Although I di

d not always have appetite in the morning, I would still eat some of them. Thinking about those word I said in the past, I deeply feel regrettable. If I can go back to that time I must say: “Thanks mom, it is wonderful.”

There is an interesting fact, those weeks after vocation, a lot of chinese students you will never see 

Eating breakfast does not only mean itself, but also a good habit. It means I must get up earlier, sleep earlier and finisher my work earlier. Although I am not sure that breakfast in school will be delicious, I can form a good habit, I won't put the things to do in the last minute. I think it will be hard to persist doing it, so I must train my willpower  to force my get up. Getting up early makes me hardly wished to live, but it is a challenge I chose, I have to finish it.
In Chinese people says, the hardest parts in everything is the beginning, but for my challenge, insisting will be the biggest challenge. For me, sleeping is kind of drug, I can not leave it. If one day I missed the breakfast, I might not get up in the next day.
The challenge has started in April 4th, so it means it will be finished in May 3rd. The first for the challenge, I woke up in 7:20 and went to the breakfast. Finally I felt can feel the breath of morning again. On the way to the dinning hall, I started to think of my life in middle school. How yearning those days were, but i can never go back to the past. Stepping in to dinning hall, there were only a few people, much less than I could see after break.
The first menu of my challenge was cereal. In my memory, food in dining hall are always unalterable. I guessed there were must be scrambled egg, bacon and potatoes. Certainly it is the most regular American food, but I still can not accept such invariable meal. I saw Leo on the way to dining hall and then had breakfast with him. He asked me if cereal enough for my first day, and my answer was sure, much more than nothing in usual.

my 30 days challenge

My 30 days challenge is going to eat breakfast for the next 30 days.

I almost forget the taste of school's breakfast. Because I am always sleepy, I used all of my morning time in my bed. It is a kind of waste but I enjoyed sleep. Breakfast is very important to people, but I always miss it. Start from today, I will go to the dinning hall very day in the next 30 days and have a healthy life.

Twisted story

I miss the soft one of you

She is always beside you. Whatever you need her or not, she is always beside you. Her mood changes every day. Sometimes she treats yours softly, sometimes she may hurt you. She can be your good friend; children like to play with her. She brings you a lot of conveniences but never ask for payment. Although she helps you a lot, you can't understand what she thinks. She always cares about our warmth. When the summer comes, she always helps us to keep cool in some ways. In the winter, she brings warm for us. When she touches our faces, sometimes we can feel the warmth from the deep heart. 

  

She may get mad some time. When she is in a bad mood, I advise you to keep away from her because that will be a disaster. Her mood is uncontrollable, so do not try to do something against her. Most of the time she treats us softly. She can play with us and she was one of my best friends in my childhood. I still remember that day she let the kite fly away and I was so excited to see it. 

These days she was not that kind. Maybe she is Ina bad mood, so she was really disturbed. I don't want to be with her because I am afraid that she will get mad. I think it is because of weather. The snow and the temperature made her angry.

 I miss the soft one of you, wind.

Final

Technical Judgement
Everything started in the spring vocation. One day, when i was reading my SAT book in the sofa, my mom read out an e-mail in her mail box. “Finally, American schools become the similar with Chinese.” I gave out my opinion, but I still asked a question to my mom: “They won’t install them in our dorm right? Will they?”

Opening the front of VdP, something appeared in my sight.Without think ing, I suddenly noticed that they are black little camera,because I am sure, through those 9 years’ experience in China.

First I want to mention about, none of us doubt about the utility of those cameras in campus. Thanks god, school are willing to pay a big cost to protect us, who can give me a reason to repulse it? Questions, I think, are focusing on those in dorm. When day students are feeling gloat, boarding students lives are under surveillance.After a moment of considering, I got an conclusion. Although security cameras might limit our dorm lives by monitoring, I agree with setting up camera in the campus, because this action can protect our property, make it easy to find suspects in incidents of theft and show self-control.

By setting up cameras， our property and safety can be protected.I first want to claim that, my opinion only works in VdP. Some people insist that setting camera in dorm is illegal, but the truth is it is legal. In the law, it only say that camera can not invade personal territory, but cameras in the hall way are actually count as setting in the public.The angle they set up will not observe into rooms, so those people who thought their lives are suspected can be relieved. Early this year, some strangers came into our campus. Everyone hided under the desk and acted like no one is in school. In fact, if it was an real terrorism attack, it was too late to find out the danger. In that urgency situation, cameras will play an necessary role. Detecting earlier means students are safer. They also make criminal offenders feels tension. If he find that he is under scrutiny, it will be a huge pressure from his mind. After setting the cameras, if people want to do something, they must deal with the cameras first. Cameras increase the possibility to chase the money back and decrease the chance of committing a crime, and substantially protect our property and safety.

By setting up cameras, suspects in incidents and theft are easy to be found out. Someone doubt about can the camera truly show us the information we want. My answer is certainly it does. Since the first year I came here, thieves haven’t stopped their steps. The biggest event happened last year: One student stole money from almost everyone he could reach, then used those money to buy shoes. Number of students suffered the loss. Fortunately, because that event was an explosive one, the suspect was found 2 days after. When the number of loss isn’t that big, as some of my friends lost, it is too hard to find the perpetrator. Now cameras can tell us everything. For example, if Mr. Kuo in VdP room 213 lost his luxurious golden watch, we can find those people who entered after the last time Mr. Kuo saw his watch and his roommate Fisher. The range of suspect immediately reduce to a few people. That is how cameras help us to find suspects.

By setting up cameras, our ability of self-controlling can be improved. After talking about some ideal function of cameras, people will say: “What you talked are useless. The truth is now we can not play wrestling in the hall way anymore; we can not chasing in the hall way anymore; we can not throw our trash furtively in the common room. Every time when we want to walk on the hall way, we must dress like we are going to the prom! These cameras limit our lives and take away our expediency. Those are all their fault.” Actually, I have no idea how to respond it because I have the same thoughts. Just because we can not do whatever we want in the dorm as before, we understand how to be self-control. We will never see those ridiculous things happen in VdP again. Those thing we can’t do anymore are precisely follow the rules. What the cameras limit us are exactly those bad habits.

To sum up the statement below, the camera perfectly finish their job: To protect our safety and drive us to understand self-discipline. Because the original aim of setting cameras is protecting, then we do not to worry about surveillance. Under the big Cheshire community, it does not mean we are doubting each other, setting cameras is just a more controversial method to protect us. We should not think too much of it.
