Merry Christmas!
I had a quiet but very traditional Christmas dinner/lunch at home this year.
To me there are 3 things which are essential to a proper and authentic Christmas dinner:
1) The main course must be a roast. Some people use turkey, but it is more for Thanksgiving, the most traditional dish is either ham or roast pork.
I originally planned to make a medium size roasted pork knuckle, but somehow ended up getting a 2.5kg hind leg quarter, so the dish is more like a roasted pork leg rather than just the knuckle. And I marinated it in a brine of salt, herbs and spices, vinegar and brandy for 36 hrs, so the taste and texture ended up close to a ham.
2. For a proper Christmas roast, I feel that it is very important that the meat must be very tough, preferably tasteless, like turkey breast or very dry roast pork. I think that this is a very Christian thing, denying yourself of earthly pleasures, instead, praising self sacrifice and sufferings.
By this golden standard, I passed with flying colours! While the outside meat was quite tender but very salty, especially the crackling, the inside meat was still quite tough and bland in taste.
But just like eating tough turkey breast, one can always be polite and avoid commenting on the taste of the meat. Instead, focus the priase on the richness of the stuffings, the tastiness of the gravy, or how pretty the Christmas paper napkins are. In my case, I cooked a home made apple sauce, which was indeed very good, and complemented the tough meat in a very nice and balanced manner. Of course the acidity of the apple sauce cuts through the fattiness of the meat, haha...
3. The final test of a good Christmas dinner is of course the leftover. A good Christmas roast must last for a week, and will reincarnate (sorry, wrong religion) in several different dishes, as it goes through the different phases of its karma existence.
We have already eaten this roast twice already today, lunch and then just now finishing dinner. Of course by definition, it gets better and better over time, after each rendezvous with the oven, much like an aging fine red wine (if you believe this, I've got 10 GEM board stock beauties just for you!).
Tomorrow, I very much look forward to my ham sandwich lunch, likely to be followed by a ham stew dinner. Day after tomorrow, we can still make a very nice soup stock with the bone (we don't have a dog)...
I have a very simple Christmas wish this year! Please let this pandemic pass ASAP, beacuse I don't want to do anymore #homecooking, much prefer going to Tin Lung Heen or Tak Sifu, to eat their very much NON Christmas, but much tastier Char Siu!
Merry Christmas to y'all!
聖誕節快樂!
我今年在家享受了一個安靜而傳統的聖誕節晚餐/午餐。
對我來說,正確和正宗的聖誕節晚餐不可或缺的三件事包括:
1)主菜必須是烤肉,有些人用火雞,但較適合感恩節,最傳統應該用火腿或烤豬肉。
我最初計劃製作一個中型的烤豬手,但不知何故最終買了2.5公斤的後腿肉,所以這道菜更像是一個烤豬腿,而不僅是豬手。然後,我將其在鹽、香草香料、醋和白蘭地的鹽水中醃製36個小時,最終的味道和質地和火腿接近。
2)正宗的聖誕節燒烤,非常重要的是其肉質必須非常堅韌,更最好是無味的,例如火雞胸肉或非常乾的烤豬肉。我認為這是一件非常基督教的事,拒絕世俗快樂,歌頌自己的犧牲和苦難。
按這個黃金標準來說,我成功通過考驗!雖然外面的肉很嫩很咸,尤其是那個脆皮,但是裡面的肉仍然很堅韌,味道亦淡。
但是就像吃堅韌的火雞胸一樣,我們總是要禮貌地避免評論肉的味道。取而代之的是,將注意力集中在餡料的豐富性、肉汁的味道或聖誕節紙巾的美觀上。就我而言,我自製了美味的蘋果醬,充分平衡了堅韌的烤肉。當然,蘋果醬的酸度亦蓋過烤肉的肥膩感,哈哈...
3)一個好的聖誕節晚餐的最後考驗當然是剩菜。一個好的聖誕節燒烤必須能吃足一個星期,並且能轉世用來烹調不同的菜式,以幾種不同的方式輪迴(對不起,錯誤的宗教信仰)。
我們今天已經吃了兩次這碟烤肉,包括午餐和剛吃完的晚餐。當然,每次再烤會越烤越美味,就像陳年的紅酒一樣(如果你相信,我會為你推介10隻GEM板靚股!)。
另外,我非常期待明天的火腿三明治午餐,晚餐可能還會有燉火腿。後天,我仍可以用豬骨煲靚湯(我們沒有狗)...
最後,我今年有一個非常簡單的聖誕節願望!就是希望疫情盡快完結,因為對比起#homecooking煮家常菜,我更想去天龍軒或德師傅吃他們非聖誕節,但更美味的叉燒!
祝大家聖誕快樂!

Are you ready for some Christmas trivia?

Test you friends on these tidbits of Christmas knowledge. How many did you get right?
考考你朋友有關聖誕節的趣聞知識,你答對了幾題?
祝同學聖誕節快樂🎄🎁🎅
★★★★★★★★★★★
1. Out of every 10 people, how many Americans celebrate Christmas?
美國人當中每十人有幾個慶祝聖誕節?
Answer: Nine in 10 Americans celebrate Christmas, according to a 2017 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, and around 55% consider it a religious holiday, while 33% think of it as more of a cultural celebration.
皮尤研究中心於2017年進行的一項調查顯示,十分之九的美國人慶祝聖誕節;大約55%的人將其視為宗教節日,而33%的人則將其視為一種文化慶祝活動。
★★★★★★★★★★★
2. Has Christmas ever been illegal to celebrate?
慶祝聖誕節曾經是非法的嗎?
Yes. The Massachusetts-Bay Colony ordinance of 1659 made Christmas illegal to celebrate in that specific colony. The law was repealed in 1681. Christmas didn’t become a state holiday in Massachusetts until 1856, though.
沒錯。 1659年的馬薩諸塞州灣殖民地法令讓在那個殖民地慶祝聖誕節是非法的,該法律於1681年被廢止。聖誕節直到1856年才成為馬薩諸塞州的國定假日。
★★★★★★★★★★★
3. How did red and green become Christmas colors?
紅和綠是如何成為聖誕節代表色?
We mostly have holly and Coca-Cola to thank for the rise of red and green as Christmas colors. Holly, obviously, has bright red berries and dark green leaves. It was used long ago by the ancient Celts for winter solstice celebrations as a symbol of protection and good luck. Coca-Cola’s role in making the colors a widespread combo for the holiday began in 1931 with ads featuring Santa Claus in a red and white suit surrounded by a green background and accents.
拜冬青樹和可口可樂所賜,紅色和綠色逐漸成為聖誕節的顏色。顯然地,冬青有鮮豔的紅色漿果和深綠色的葉子;古代凱爾特人很早以前就用它作為冬至慶祝活動,冬青有保護和好運的象徵。可口可樂讓這兩個顏色成為聖誕節廣為人知的組成則始於1931年,廣告中聖誕老人穿著紅色和白色的西裝,周圍環繞著綠色背景和符號點綴。
★★★★★★★★★★★
4. True or false: "Jingle Bells" was written to be a Christmas song.
「鈴兒響叮噹」是為了聖誕節而寫的對嗎?
False! The song wasn’t intended to be attached to the holiday. Some historical reports say it was first performed at a Thanksgiving church service. In any case, the lyrics don’t mention any holiday at all.
錯!這首歌當初和這節日沒有關聯。有歷史報導說這首歌第一次是在感恩節教堂第一次被表演。總之,歌詞當中根本沒有提到任何節日。
★★★★★★★★★★★
5. How many Americans use artificial Christmas trees?
多少美國人會用人造聖誕樹?
A survey conducted by Nielsen for the American Christmas Tree Association found that nearly 94 million U.S. households will display a Christmas tree this year. Of those, 85 percent are artificial.
尼爾森為美國聖誕樹協會所做的一項調查發現,今年有將近9,400萬的美國家庭展示聖誕樹,其中85%是人造的。
★★★★★★★★★★★
6. How much do Americans spend on holiday shopping?
美國人在聖誕節會花多少錢買東西?
The National Retail Federation reports that Americans plan to spend an average of about $998 this year on holiday shopping. That’s down from last year’s average of around $1,048.
全美零售聯合會指出,美國人預計在這個聖誕節平均花費大約998美元消費,相較去年的平均值1,048美元有所下滑。
★★★★★★★★★★★
7. True or false: People no longer send out Christmas cards.
人們不再寄聖誕卡片了對嗎?
False! The rate of sending any greeting card has gone down over the years, but this year especially, people are sending holiday cards as a way to connect with others during the pandemic.
錯!這些年來發賀卡的速度不斷下降,但特別是在今年,為了在流行病期間與他人聯繫,人們會發送節日賀卡。
★★★★★★★★★★★
8. What's the most popular Christmas song of all time?
歷史上最受歡迎的聖誕節歌曲為何?
Answer: The most recorded Christmas song of all time is "Silent Night," according to Time, whereas "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling single.
答:根據《時代》雜誌,有史以來錄製最多次的聖誕節歌曲是《寂靜的夜晚》,而Bing Crosby的《白色聖誕節》則維持吉尼斯世界紀錄的最高銷量。
★★★★★★★★★★★
9. Why do we hang Christmas stockings?
為什麼我們要掛聖誕襪?
Answer: The tradition came about thanks to a legend that states the generous Turkish bishop St. Nicholas helped a set of three poor sisters avoid a life of indentured servitude by paying for their dowries. For three nights, the bishop threw gold down their chimney, which landed in their stockings hung by their fireplace to dry. Now we carry on the tradition by hanging stockings to fill with gifts and small treats.
答:這個傳統來自於一個傳奇。故事說道,慷慨的土耳其主教聖尼古拉斯支付嫁妝幫助一組可憐的三個姐妹免除奴役。主教把煙囪裡的金子扔了下來共三晚,而金子掉入壁爐旁掛著的長襪中晾乾了。現在,我們透過掛襪子來放禮物和小點心來延續傳統。
★★★★★★★★★★★
10. True or false: There was once a real-life Santa Claus.
現實生活中曾有聖誕老人對嗎?
Answer: True! The Christian bishop Saint Nicholas was the inspiration behind the jolly man we all know and love. St. Nicholas, a generous, gift-gifting clergyman, lived in modern day Turkey and devoted his life to helping the poor, according to Biography.
答:沒錯!基督教主教聖尼古拉是我們大家都知道並且喜歡的歡樂男人(聖誕老人)背後的靈感來源。根據傳記,聖尼古拉斯是一位慷慨、會送禮的神職人員,住在現代土耳其,一生致力於幫助窮人。
★★★★★★★★★★★
Bonus Question: Can you still say Merry Christmas?
I will leave this question to you.
你還能再說「聖誕快樂」嗎?還是要講別的說法? 這問題的答案留給你好好思考。

《動画の最後にアレックスの初チュッをご覧になりましたか?😜》
先週、朝の6時〜夕方の4時まで、丸1日、料理を作りました。その理由はアメリカのサンクスギビングです!先週の木曜日はアメリカの感謝祭でした。英語でThanksgivingといいます(サンクスギビング)。サンクスギビングというのは、感謝をする日です。「健康だから感謝する」とか「家族と一緒に毎日過ごせるから」、等々感謝します。アメリカで、祝日のトップスリーに入ります。七面鳥(ターキー)を食べることが多いですが、ハムを作ったり、ローストビーフを作ったり、家によって過ごし方やメニューが違いますので、特にルールがありません…あっ、そうでもない…ルールは1つあります。「ダイエットを忘れて沢山食べる」ことです😜
毎年、日本で川上家でサンクスギビングのホームパーティを開催します。うちはちょっと狭いですが、やっぱりホームパーティが好きですし、アレックスもなかなか人をもてなすのが好きみたいです。
毎年ハムを作りますが、今年はコストコで切らしていて…豚ロスを作ることになりました。初めて作ったメニューですし、私の顔より大きい豚ロスだったのでかなり怖かったですが、なんとかなりました。
因みにハムやターキーの他にサンクスギビングによく作る料理のメニューは、
・さつまいも
・パンプキンパイ
・マッシュポテト
・スタッフィング
等々です。もし、こういうレシピに興味があれば是非コメントをお願いします。
サンクスギビングは、朝から夜まで1日をかけて、ずっとご飯を作るというイメージがあります。是非、その雰囲気を英語でみんなに共有したいなと思いました。英語のリスニングに使っていただければ嬉しいですし、「聞き流し英語」ということで、BGM的に聞いて頂いてももちろんOKです!普通の英語をずっと使っているので、聞き流し英語に使っていただけるとちょっとリスニング力が上達するのかな…I hope so!

The other day I spent an entire day in the kitchen. Why? Because it was American Thanksgiving, and the Kawakami's celebrate Thanksgiving even in Japan, where it can be difficult to get the right ingredients. We celebrated in pretty typical American fashion--we threw a little party and invited some of our closest friends. I know that turkey, ham and roast beef is most common for Thanksgiving but can you believe that Costco was out of ham this year??? So we ended up doing our best with--wait for it--a pork loin. Yes, that's right--a pork loin. It was a very strange Thanksgiving! But heck, the important thing is that we got together and were able to be thankful for one another.

子育てしている日本のママとパパたちへ!
「英語を子供に教えたいけど、どうすればいいのかわからない」と多くの日本人のママ友によーーく言われます。
私は、アメリカ人ママです。アイシャともうします。息子は2015年3月2日に生まれたアレックス君です。アレックスが大人になって、一番なってほしいことは「英語ペラペラ」ではなく、「グローバルな視野」を持っている人になってほしいです。ルールのない世界で、どの問題や壁にぶつかっても、クリエーティブ的に考えてほしいし、恥ずかがらないでどんなチャレンジを積極的に受け入れてほしいです。英語はもちろんできるだけ教えようとは思いますが、それが全てではないし、どちらかというと「楽しく英語に接触させながら、面白い世界(もうはや壁のない世界)を見せたいと思います。」
このチャンネルには、子供に教えれる英語ビデオもアップしますし、外国の育児方法や想像力とコミュニケーション力を伸ばすゲームについてのビデオもたくさん投稿したいと思います。
日本の子育て VS 外国の子育て方針についてもビデオを投稿したいと思います。
では、楽しく子供と英会話しながら、世界の子育てなどについて一緒に学びましょう♪
