http://thecoconuthead.blogspot.com/2008/10/rasberry-mojito-and-taro-cake.html周末在家折腾好吃好喝的。想来想去，干脆做点RaspberryMojitoand香肠芋饼吧。忙活着剪两瓣新鲜的薄荷叶做装饰。看看我的成品。象那么一回事吧。看看近影。有点小小的得意。

http://thecoconuthead.blogspot.com/2008/10/blog-post_194.html记得高中的时候，每隔一段时间，班主任就要折腾我们一班学生一下。美其名曰“大扫除“。有没有必要，我不知道，但是共产党的管理方法。
不过我自己的大扫除真的是非常之必要了。自打搬进来也有5个月了。该是时间里里外外大扫除的时候。再加上就近工作忙得昏天黑地，两个星期前洗的衣服还堆在筐里。好歹是干净的，[

朋友来家，当然要盛情招待。又做了一次烤红椒三明治和红枣山药糖水。好多东东瞎放一通。有山药，红枣，枸积，银耳，莲子，白果，葡萄干，小汤圆。好喝又养颜。小碗还是老妈几年前从中国老远带来的。开心！
