The first thing you would notice if you went out into the villages in China is that vegetables rather than meat predominate in the food offered. Though we in the West think highly of roast beef or a thick steak A.J. Brown Jersey Sale , meat is a luxury to the Chinese and they prefer it in small quantities, usually pork rather than beef, and cut into small pieces and mixed with the vegetables.

For protein the Chinese depend heavily on the soya bean, which has for this reason been called the cow of the East. Soya-bean oil, like groundnut oil, is used for cooking. The beans, soaked Jeffery Simmons Jersey Sale , ground fine and strained, produce a fluid called soya-bean milk, which is a good substitute for cow's milk; doctors, even Western doctors, prescribe it for babies who cannot get mother's milk and are allergic to cow's milk. The soya bean is also turned into bean curd, an exceptionally high protein food known in China as "the meat without bones". To make it, soya-bean milk is boiled Jurrell Casey Jersey Sale , strained and curdled by adding a small amount of gyp-sum. Then the mixture is spooned out on to thin muslin, wrapped in pieces 3 by 3 by 1&12 inches, and heavily weighted to squeeze out the moisture until the pieces are only about one half an inch thick. The result is a smooth, mild, creamy cake with a fragile but slightly elastic texture something like firm custard.

Bean curd may be used in a variety of dishes, but it is delicate and must not be overcooked or else it will fall apart. It is inexpensive, which makes it doubly valuable in a poor country. The thickened curd skin is a food by itself Kevin Byard Jersey Sale , with a more concentrated flavour. Fermented bean curd tastes much like cheese. Then, of course, there are soya and mung-bean sprouts, which most of us know in Chinese dishes. In one form or another, the soya bean can be found in dishes eaten at every meal.

The Chinese are not great sweet eaters, by this is meant they don't go in for puddings. They eat savouries, or sometimes dried fruits or biscuits Derrick Henry Jersey Sale , as between-meal snacks. The few sweet dishes in the Chinese cuisine are usually encountered only at feasts, and then they are served most often as a diversion in the middle of the meal. This order may seem strange, but the Chinese system of arranging courses is different from ours.

A meal in China need not begin with hors d'oeuvres. A banquet, for example, may well have started with a selection, attractively arranged, of cold meats Corey Davis Jersey Sale , fish and sliced or carved vegetables. There might be a soup near the beginning, but it is not the only one that is served at the feast. Soups play various parts in the symphony of a well composed meal, not only is there one as a light appetizer, but clear soups are often used between courses as palate cleansers. Richer soups, like velvet corn may, however, be served as a separate course.

You could spend a lifetime trying out the huge variety of Chinese cooking techniques Marcus Mariota Jersey Sale , and food presentation and only really touch the tip of the iceberg, but what fun you would have. Ever wonder what happened to the family dinner hour? Or for that matter the family dinner half hour? Monday is Soccer Practice, Tuesday is Piano lesson, Wednesday is Church Activities, Thursday is a Soccer Game, Friday a birthday party to attend. A number of events will fill up the weekend. Do you feel like a professional scheduler and taxi driver? Are you finding yourself increasingly irritable as you go from one activity to the next? Maybe you and your children are overscheduled. As a coach and family therapist I see more and more people wanting to find
balance in their lives. In the past few years I have seen a marked increase in children with anxiety and depression. Children are now saying they are 'stressed out'. I remember one child in particular who just wanted to play a board game with his parents, the only family assignment was to play the board game. The family did not have 'time' to play the game. Children no longer seem to have time to goof off and just be children - goof off time is not on the schedule. As parents we need to guard our children and ourselves to protect our children's unscheduled time to be children. Children need time to create their own games and also to learn to entertain themselves. Children often want us to entertain them or the television instead of figuring out how to play by themselves. I would hazard a guess that some of your fondest memories as a child were playing out in the backyard with some friends and really doing nothing in particular. Just laughing Amani Hooker Titans Jersey , playing, talking or 'being'. Ten Suggestions to keep your family from being overscheduled: 1. Each child in the family has one outside activity (i.e. sports, music lessons) besides church activities. (If you have a big family even this may be difficult.) 2. If your child wants to add an activity they may consider giving up the current activity in exchange for the new one. 3. Set family nights on your calendar. Order a pizza and play board games. No one can schedule anything on family night. 4. Help your child learn to say "No" and help set appropriate limits on their activities away from home. 5. Do not say "Yes" to any new activity for yourself or child till you have weighed the costs (i.e. financial, emotional, loss of family time, etc.) 6. Assess your irritability quotient. Do you find yourself frequently saying, "Hurry up Nate Davis Titans Jersey , we are going to be late?" How can you slow down? What can you give up? 7. Resolve to eat dinner together as a family at least 3 - 5 times a week, even if this is sandwiches before you head out to a game or lesson. 8. Schedule "goof-off" time for your family and children. Give your child down time to explore a hobby or play outside. 9. Set priorities for your family. How many hours a week do you want to be together as a family? 10. Take time as a family to enjoy God's creation away from home. Examples: Go to a park, go for a bike ride, go hiking, etc.
