Ingredients:
1 to 1 1/4 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons steak sauce (such as A.1.)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano, or 3/4 teaspoon dried
1 to 2 tablespoons finely minced onion
Cheese (optional)
Steps：
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, mixing thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon. Shape into 4 patties by hand, making the center of each just a little thinner than the edges. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
2. Start your grill, and when it's good and hot, grill the burgers to the desired doneness, flipping once. They'll take about 4 minutes on each side, more or less, depending on how you like them cooked. To make cheeseburgers, top with slices of American cheese or sharp Cheddar cheese after you flip them. Makes 4 burgers.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: about 10 minutes

So, I started to go to BBC Learning English.com lately.
There's one section called "6 minute English" & I began to incorporate that into my daily English-learning "program".
The entertainment part is extremely good, so I'm actually having a lot of fun listening to their PECULIAR British accent!
For those who might be interested in this, please go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/
Hope you'll find this useful & make good use of it!

Just try not to worry
You'll see us someday
Just take what you need
And be on your way and
Stop crying your heart out... [4x]

從台灣回到San Fran後.我的生活完全就朝著"減肥"打轉
最胖時期的我有114磅.差不多是51.7公斤
雖然還在標準之內.可是我整個人已經腫到不行.連上課坐著都想把牛仔褲的扣子解開
目前最瘦曾近一度低到104.5磅.折合公斤數是47.4
那天我竟然想乾脆就減到100磅=45.3公斤好了
不過到了最近.我變得很不快樂
而且常常因為沒吃夠.呈現極度虛弱狀態
最大的變化就是我的胃變得很小超小異常小
如果聽過我以前是怎樣的eat like a horse.再比照我現在是如何eat like a bird
我相信大家的下巴一定會直接掉在地上
像今天.跟Annie, Diana還有Neo去Folsom St. Fair經歷了令人快心臟病發的數小時
我只吃了約半盒的garlic fries再加上一杯Margarita.一整個胃脹到不行.晚餐時間到了該吃也沒辦法吃
一直到8點左右.才去把昨天包的8顆餛飩加上2小株小白菜煮來吃.吃得我超滿足而且霹靂飽!!!
我以前一次是吃15顆的耶...現在只吃了一半!TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE!!!
不過我有強烈預感明天早上我一定又是肚子痛醒的(這是我這一陣子以來.只要沒吃減肥餐的隔天.一定會有的症狀)
而且我大概知道我把自己的胃給搞糟了.但話又說回來.如果早上稱體重發現數字很鳥又會開始沮喪耶~
唉...說來說去減肥真的不是人做的事!我是很有毅力可以go extreme...SO WHAT?

我發覺
人都有逃避不幸的傾向
他人的不幸, I mean.
曾經我因為一個朋友不懂得傾聽她的朋友而大感意外
曾經我也因為內心承受的程度達到了飽和而無法克制地爆發出來
這不禁讓我思考
當我在難過的時候我究竟該怎麼辦?!
躺在床上瞪著天花板持續鑽牛角尖?!
把schedule填滿但卻還是會在某個時刻失了神?!
又或者是把想法寫下來然後大哭好幾場?!
找一個人大吐苦水好像已經不在選項內了...
因為
其實沒有誰是一定有義務要關心誰的啊!
怎麼可以奢望某個人在自己最需要的時候可以主動地伸出援手呢?!
就連我自己處在安樂中也是一樣的吧?!
那時候被我忽略的人又有多少呢?!
就這樣...我一直想...心情也就越來越沉
果然當別人問起How are you?或是How's everything with you?的時候
伴隨著眼淚說出I'm so sad because of xxx.的答案是很令人難以承受的啊~
照這樣看來.跟別人問候的目的又何在.如果我們期待的永遠都是正向的答案...
或許這個世界就是如此自私的吧?!
我並非意有所指.因為我自己.很不幸的.也是如此!

天氣 晴
昨天喝了1瓶啤酒倒下去睡著後一個夢也沒做.所以今天早上可以毫無掙扎地起床
梳洗後唸了一篇10頁的文章.就出門到Parkmerced的Farmers' Market(這是每個月的最後一個星期六我會做的例行公事)
路上我把P.S. I LOVE YOU的第4片CD聽完.Holly moved on了.我也應該move on
Farmers' Market帶給我的驚喜越來越少.我開始懷疑以後是不是還需要去
回家放下3顆桃子和1把青江菜.我跳上M到West Portal的USPS寄包裹
上一次寄是在2月初.我以為那是結束.但其實不是
這一次寄是在9月底.也許這會是個開始.but who knows?
今天的陽光很令人著迷.於是我從USPS走到19th Ave. @ Sloat Blvd.打算改搭28到Safeway
但不曉得怎麼了.塞車塞得一塌糊塗.所以我就走Sloat→Wawona→Vicente→Ulloa→Taraval
我買了材料打算要做通心粉沙拉.蟹肉玉米濃湯.煎魚.包鮮蝦豬肉餛飩.也買了Tootsie Pop
後來公車還是很難等.於是我又走Taraval→Santiago→Rivera→Quintara→Pacheco→Ortega→Noriega→Moraga→Lawton→Kirkham→Judah→Irving
明明天氣那麼美好.可是人人的心情都比我的心情更不好.Safeway裡有人大吼大叫.路上駕駛狂按喇叭
因為早餐沒吃我整個人已經快虛脫了.所以就跑到韓國餐廳Tofu Village去吃中餐
我點了個Combination Tofu($9.99).光小菜就6碟.再加上煎魚一條以及沙拉一小碗
除此之外有一鍋辣度medium的豆腐湯加上白飯一大碗.到最後我肚子又literally快爆開
服務我打85分.老闆親切得要命我再加5分
BTW.每次到Irving去有一家越南河粉總是門可羅雀.今天人多到在sidewalk上排隊-_-
下次我一定要找機會去試看看!
最後我買了餛飩皮.才好不容易地搭上28回家
兩邊的肩膀因為背著重物.現在無比痠痛;我的一雙手提著2個重袋也快起水泡
總之.我整個人已經快呈現昏迷的狀態...但還是強打起精神.硬又是包了快180顆餛飩!
久違的日記到此先打住啦!

一切的一切都是因為我沒有好好地吃減肥餐
沒事跑到學校吃什麼salad bar
才會遇到一個名叫Vincent的恐怖人士
一定是上天在懲罰我!
我真的知錯了~

So...I just realized that I hadn't made good use of my futon.
Then, there came the idea of "quality time".
After choosing some good music, I huddled up on it & began to read.
I haven't finished the book of September, which is another book from Jane Green, "bookend"; as a result, I started with it & wish I could finish all her novels before graduating.
After this, I finished "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", which is certainly funny!
Lastly, I started my chapter one of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone!
It just felt so good, setting aside some time for myself & doing something that truly amuses me!
Now I announce that every Sunday night would be the night of my "quality time" with MYSELF!
HOORAY!!!
