I AM DENA MANDALA

Petualangan ke Negeri Paman Sam

1富强粉分几次加入清水，用筷子搅拌成絮状
2揉成面团，盖上湿布醒面
3西葫芦洗净去皮，用擦子擦成丝，要转着擦，当露出瓜瓤就转动一下，逐渐留出柱状的瓜瓤，丢弃不用（我是图省事，也可以切开挖去瓜瓤后再擦丝）
4西葫芦丝中撒少许盐，5-10分钟会杀出不少水
5捞起一团西葫芦丝用双手挤出水分，分次直至全部挤完6肉馅加料酒、生抽、香油、胡椒粉、五香粉、盐、葱姜碎，拌匀调味
 7将西葫芦丝加入肉馅中拌匀
 8面团揉匀，搓长条，下剂子
 9将剂子擀成中间厚，周边薄的饺子皮
 10对着光可以看出中厚边薄的效果
 11取一个饺子皮在中间放上饺子馅
12对折，捏出花纹，一定要捏紧，不然一煮就破
13包好的饺子放在盘子上等待下锅，盘子上事先撒干面防粘
14水烧开下饺子，盖盖，水再次烧开时倒入少许凉水，盖盖，再烧开，加凉水，盖盖，直至再次烧开，开盖，再煮1分钟饺子就熟了
 15盛出装盘，蘸上自己喜欢的料汁，就着自家泡的腊八蒜，再有口小酒，齐了~

Mu5735飞机失事
关注新闻的你一定注意到了，这个星期，和中国有关的新闻始终是飞机失事。是的，在2022年3月21日，一架从中国昆明飞往中国广州的飞机在飞行了一个多小时后坠毁了。飞机上共有机组9人，旅客123人。他们全部遇难。
事情发生后，全国震惊。医生、警察、飞行专家等纷纷赶往事发地，经过了十几个小时的调查和研究，他们找到了失事飞机和人员身体的部分碎片，如今，飞机为什么会突然坠毁？飞行员为什么没有报告飞机的异常情况？这些问题或许永远得不到解决。我们看到的是，旅客家属的悲痛与伤心。
飞机上最小的旅客刚刚一岁多，她得了很奇怪的病。爸爸妈妈向亲戚朋友借了一些钱打算带他去广州治病。孩子的妈妈耳朵有问题，她什么都听不到。孩子的爸爸是一个普通的农民。这是一家人第一次坐飞机，也是最后一次坐飞机。一岁多的孩子，还没来得及体验这个世界，就着急地离开了。
警察在事发地找到了一个黑色的蝴蝶结，它静静地躺在那儿。这个蝴蝶结是女生收到的生日礼物，很难想象，送礼物的人现在面临着多大的伤心。
明天和意外，你永远不知道哪一个会先来，但是明天总会来，只是如果意外先来了，明天就会是所有人的明天，但它不属于你。珍惜现在，珍惜你身边的每一个人。

Mu5735 飞机失事


“I think one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to make was choosing what major and university to apply for after graduating from high school. I had to make this decision about 3 years ago, at which time I was at a crossroads in my life, and had to decide something that I knew would affect my whole future life in a pretty short space of time. 

Since I can remember, I loved anything to do with computers, and knew I wanted to further my studies in something related to computers, especially programming. After a few weeks of research on the internet, I narrowed my choice down to two universities. I was at my wits end trying  to make a decision between these two universities, when my mother reminded me that two of my cousins had both graduated in computer science. After some really sound advice from my cousins I decided to apply to the university which specialised in coding.

I can happily say that I think I made a really good decision, thanks to the great advice from my cousins, and I'm really happy with my choice, as well as with what I have learned in the last 3 years. I’m also feeling very confident about my future, and because of making this decision, I now feel very confident that I will find a good job in the future.

Describe a difficult decision you made

Hello everyone, this is Chadwick coming to you from, in my opinion, one of the most wonderful times of the year...

The transition between spring and summer in Michigan...

It is during this time of year that we have recently shaken off the last snowflakes of winter as we entered into spring.

During the spring, flowers began to break forth from the once frozen earth.

The days remained cool, but you could feel the temperature rising and the suns warmth on your skin.

Colorful flowers began to bloom and the honeybees are collecting their pollen.

Summer is approaching.

Bon fires and floating down rivers.

Hikes through the forest.

Barbareques, family and friends.

What is your favorite transition time of the year?

Leave a comment, and thank you for listening.
