All downhill from here.
EDIT: Opps....just googled it and he was right. I'm wrong.
Is Downhill good or bad?
The expression downhill all the way (also, all downhill from here), can indicate both a positive or a negative trend as it can metaphorically suggest both an easy descent down a hill and a downward move to a lower ( possibly negative) level. To avoid misunderstanding you need to be clear about what is meant.
#China has imposed new #visa restrictions on foreign journalists working for #US news organizations in China including #CNN, #WSJ and #GettyImages.
Among the journalists affected? Non-US citizens as well as my Beijing-based colleague and fellow American @David_Culver.
The visa move is a significant hurdle for US media in China... and yet another sign of the downward spiral in relations between Washington and Beijing.
The latest.

パン作りをするようになってから、ずーっと作っている揚げパンです。今も昔も、もっちりでふんわりしていて変わらない美味しさ。
子供たちのおやつにも何回作ったか分かりません。
大人になった今でも時々食べたくなるようで、特に下の娘がふらっと遊びにやってきたときには作ります。
懐かしいほっとする味です＾＾

【Ingredients】
★150g Bread flour
★10g Sugar
★2g Salt
3g Dry yeast
112g Soy Milk
12g Unsalted butter(room temperature)
for coating:
15g granulated sugar
*Canola Oil for frying
The best Soy milk temperature for the dough: About 30℃ for spring and autumn. About 10℃ for summer, and about 40℃ for winter.
【Directions】
①Combine the dry ingredients (★)and mix together with a whisk.
②Add dry yeast and soy milk and Mix.
③Put it on the table and knead. (10mins)
④Add butter and knead more. (5mins)
*Near the end, pull the end of your dough with your thumb and fingers. Keep spreading the dough with your fingers, stretching the dough into thin translucent membrane.
This test is called Windowpane Test to see if the dough's gluten has been developed enough. If the dough tears, the gluten isn’t quite ready yet. Knead the dough for another few minutes and test again.
⑤Make it round, then leave it at a warm place until it gets twice as bigger. (primary fermentation)
⑥Degas the dough from ⑤, divide it into 6 pieces and make them round.
⑦Cover them with a wet cloth and leave them for 10 mins. (bench time)
⑧Take a piece of dough and roll it out on your cutting board so it forms a rope 7.8 inches long.
⑨Cover them with a wet cloth and leave them for 7-8 mins.
⑩When you roll out the dough, move one hand upward and the other downward so that the rope is twisted in between your hands as you roll it. Take the dough off the board, hold it aloft, and bring the ends together. The tension in the dough will twist it as it hangs.
⑪Place the twisted dough on a floured cutting board or tray.
Repeat with the rest of the pieces of dough.
⑫Let the doughnuts expand for about 30 minutes
⑬Heat the deep frying oil to 320ºF (160ºC) in a pot and deep-fry doughnuts until puffed and golden each side.
⑭Add these optional finishing touches while the doughnuts are still slightly warm.
Coat doughnuts with granulated sugar.
*Be careful not to let the dough dry out when you are letting it rise or rest.
*When the dough is too moist and sticky, powder the dough a little.
【材料】
★強力粉 150g
★砂糖 10g
★塩 2g
ドライイースト 3g
豆乳 112g
無塩バター(室温) 12g
仕上用:
グラニュー糖 15g
*揚げ油
*豆乳の適温:
春・秋は、約30℃、夏は、約10℃、冬は約40℃です。
【作り方】
①★の材料をボウルに入れて泡だて器で混ぜる。
②中央にイースト加えてそこへ豆乳を注ぎ、ヘラなどで混ぜる。
③台の上に生地を取りだして、10分こねる。
④バターを加えてさらに5分ほどこねる。
(生地の端などを手で伸ばしてみて薄く伸びるようならグルテン膜が出来ているのでこねはOk、生地が伸びずに破けるようなら捏ねが足りないのでもう少し捏ねる)
⑤丸めてボウルに入れて、ラップなどを被せて大きさが約2倍になるまで暖かい場所に置いて一次発酵。
⑥生地のガス抜き後、6分割して、丸める。
⑦乾燥させないように濡れ布巾などを被せ、10分ベンチタイム。
⑧生地をガス抜き麺棒などで楕円形に伸ばして、両端から生地をたたむようにして中央で生地を二つ折りいして指で生地をしっかりと綴じたら転がして20cm長さにする。
⑨乾燥させないように濡れ布巾などを被せ、7－8分生地を休ませる。(一旦ここで生地を休ませるとそのあとのねじねじの成形が
とてもやりやすくなる)
⑩⑨の生地をさらに細長くしたら片側を指で押さえて片側をぐるぐるとねじり、そのまま上に持ち上げるようにする。
生地がツイストされればOk！
⑪オーブンシートを敷いた天板かまな板などの上にツイストした生地を並べる。
⑫乾燥させないように濡れ布巾やラップなどを被せ。30分ほど置いてく。ぷっくらと膨らめばok!
⑬160℃の油で両面きつね色にかりっとするまで揚げる。
⑭ほんの少し温かいくらいまで冷めたら、お砂糖をまぶして出来上がり!
*発酵中やベンチタイム、成形時は生地が乾燥しないよう気を付けて下さい。
