Fall is a season of mellow fruitfulness, so is my October!
我沒吃過正統的猶太辮子麵包，不過看到想試的食譜就做了。麵團和之前做吐司的經驗很不同，很擔心會失敗，也不知道成品到底口感對不對。應該算是成功，不過蛋香味好濃讓我感到有點膩。
I've never had real Challah bread, but I decided to make one since I found a recipe that seemed easy. The dough felt different from my other bread-making experience, and I was worried that it would fail. I also didn't bother to braid it. It turns out to be successful, although I am not sure if the texture or the taste is correct. The bread is dense and tasty, but a bit too rich to my taste.
每次去超市買蔥一次就得買一把，我總是只用了一根，剩下的就在冰箱腐壞了。後來發現只要有水和陽光，蔥就能長，乾脆自己來種吧！
I hate buying green onions from grocery stores. Usually I just use one stalk out of a bunch, and the rest of them is rotten in my refrigerator. Then I found out that it doesn't take much to grow green onions - all you need is just water and sunlight. Well, it's time to grow green onions by myself.
原來蔓越莓長這個樣子！口感非常奇妙—表皮稍硬，不過輕咬就可以輕易地吃下肚。味道不甜，略帶澀味。
So cranberries are like this! The texture is very different - a bit hard outside, but is easy to break and eat. They are not sweet but tart.
巧克力碎片燕麥餅乾是我常做的餅乾之一。
Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies is one of the cookies that I frequently make.
既然新鮮蔓越莓不討喜，那麼來試試蔓越莓冰沙吧！
Maybe cranberry smoothie is a better way than having fresh cranberries?

來米國三年了，到現在還是沒機會刻南瓜。不過鄰居刻了這顆放在公寓門口好可愛，好像憤怒鳥裡面的豬豬。
