潔米品課 ⋈: 「交換學生Day64」- 解剖大南瓜做了南瓜燉飯！

嗨～我是偷懶小鬼，沒有拉是因為我昨天的speech所以我才從禮拜五偷懶到現在嗚嗚嗚（這都不是藉口Ｑ＿Ｑ），所以今天就是一個狂背speech的概念。

這次的speech我應該有說過是informative speech，就是你要有新資訊讓你的聽眾知道、或學到一些東西，然後我就很自然的把題目定成Taiwan，裡面要有兩個main topic所以我的兩個大topic是夜市還有天燈節，但純粹是因為我很想讓大家看下面這個影片！

大概是從高中就很喜歡的影片了，還因此在大一時加了模擬聯合國會議社團，玩了兩三個MUN之後便隱退。

送上超級無敵爛的講稿（我只是想要給我自己紀念一下而已..）

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝可以跳過的分隔線＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Before I start my speech, I want to show you my favorite video about Taiwan. In the video it includes many typical sights and also it contains two topics that I want to inform you today. One is Night Markets and the other is Sky Lantern Festival. (39-1:20)(1:34-2:09)

As an exchange student from Taiwan, I feel really proud to talk about my country. When people talk about Taiwan, the first thing that they may think of is Night Markets. There are more than one hundred night markets in Taiwan. The collections of street stalls, sidewalk vendors and small canteens are major scenes of night markets. The vendors operate from 4 p.m. Till around 1 a.m. Night markets are famous for their specialty snacks and drinks which can be seen as a symbol of the traditional foods in Taiwan. Such foods are mainly served as carry-out. I will briefly talk about two representable food in night market. The first food is “Stinky tofu.” Stinky tofu is a form of fermented tofu. You can tell from the name that the tofu has a strong odor. Most foreigners can't accept this food because of the smell, but in fact the food is really delicious. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the dish is usually served with pickled cabbage. Trust me, once you try it you will love it.

Next is the bubble tea. All of you must know it because you can also buy it in America now. But you may not know that the bubble tea originated from Taiwan. It is the symbolic beverage in night markets.The famous tea drink is made from little tapioca balls that are boiled in black sugar and dropped in the milk tea. You can also dropped it in other beverage such as green tea, black tea, lemon juice, etc.

Not only is food served in night markets, but also lots of products are sold. You can buy many inexpensive, high-quality products, such as clothing, shoes, accessories, or toys. Also there are lots of featuring traditional carnival games such as balloon shooting, net fish, shooting marbles. Night market is definitely the most indispensable culture in Taiwan.

Besides night markets, Taiwan also famous for many traditional festivals. Today I'm going to inform you one of my favorite festival in Taiwan. That is Sky Lantern Festival. The Sky Lantern Festival is held in Pinxi in February. Pinxi is a remote hillside town. In the past, those who worked or farmed in the mountains faced the risk of being robbed or killed, and they used lanterns to inform their families they were safe. The lanterns do not function as signals anymore, but are now used as symbols of peace and good fortune. During the festival, people will write their hopes on the lanterns and fly them into the sky at the same time. Every sky lantern has carried everyone’s dream and wishes then goes up to the air. The sky will be decorated with glamorous lanterns. Once you see the scene, you may never forget it.

Taiwan is really a beautiful country not only for those two things that I have mentioned. If you have a chance to go to Taiwan, don't forget to go to night markets to try delicious traditional food. Also, go there in February so you can attend the Sky Lantern Festival, which is the most beautiful festival in Taiwan.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝恭喜你跳躍成功＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

反正今天的演講就還可以沒有太大了忘詞什麼的，雖然我還是一直很緊張。

其實常常因為一些小事感到壓力很大，不過換個角度如果凡事不要太認真好像也就還好了，不過這態度感覺不太對啊...

總之今天演講完之後開始趕晚上六點半管理學的作業，但我還是失敗了哈哈哈其中一份還是沒交出去但也還好拉..

今天上管理課拿到第一次exam的成績的34/50，說起來不是很理想而且全部都選擇題耶我怎麼搞的，但是身邊好像大家都三十幾感覺就也還好，不過都是選擇題耶對於台灣被訓練成考試機器的學生而言怎麼覺得不拿個40對不起台灣ＸＤ好吧下禮拜一又有考試了如果我有那個閒功夫我就認真看多次一點好了（可是我好懶惰.....

然後我今天又再度睡著（orz..........................

到底有沒有什麼辦法讓我醒著阿阿阿阿阿我明明在上課前小睡了十分鐘！><

哦我今天穿羽絨衣了！！！不得不說明明超薄一件但是怎麼可以這麼暖啊超誇張的！（uniqlo!)

接下來是南瓜燉飯時間！難得演講跟作業ko當然要休息一下做點東西吃（另一個原因是因為我的什錦飯吃完了...他整整陪我快一個禮拜！但是蒸過之後還是好好吃喔><），冰箱裡剩下的蔬菜是馬鈴薯跟紅蘿蔔，還有雞肉，原本是想煮咖喱飯的，可是突然看到我上次去農場的南瓜...就想說，好吧來試個南瓜燉飯好了：Ｄ

噢然後，我又煮了兩鍋..........

我到底為什麼每次都抓不對分量啊＝＝

材料：半顆南瓜、小馬鈴薯兩顆、三根小紅蘿蔔、適量雞肉、雞湯（我是用雞湯塊煮的）、牛奶、奶油

我來分享我解剖南瓜的過程！我不知道為什麼這南瓜皮這麼硬欸我一直試著要切它但是我對她表皮根本無法造成傷害！

這是一顆完整的南瓜

用盡全力把上面的那根拔掉（超難拔...）

接下來要剖半，順利地從中間戳下去，然後如果你的南瓜沒那麼硬可以直接剖的話就請便...

我這顆完全無法，所以才有下個步驟

燈愣！我把他摔到地板上讓他有裂痕ＸＤ（有點粗暴可是很快啊！反正他外殼這麼硬又不會傷到裡面...）

下一步驟就是把它撥開！

然後挖掉裡面的籽籽～（可以用刀子輔助）

接下來我要把它切成一小塊一小塊了，可是那個皮真的很硬我完全動不了它，於是...

我把它放進了微波爐（微波爐真的是留學生的好朋友嗚嗚我不懂為何我家的微波爐都是拿來裝飾的），大概弄個七分鐘左右

它出來的時候有點香～然後皮會變稍微軟一點而且與肉有點分離，可以試著用撥地把皮剝掉，不過我後來還是有用刀子去切，但比沒微波好切多了

這就是成果拉～其實皮好像可以吃只是因為我剛拿到地上摔我覺得好像有點不妥..ＸＤ所以就順便去皮了

這是其它的材料（馬鈴薯和紅蘿蔔），馬鈴薯記得泡水別讓它養化～

在做這些事的期間我其實又開始在煮雞湯了～就是把水跟雞湯塊煮一煮混一混，好了之後放旁邊。

好來開始講步驟了！

首先，先在鍋子內放入奶油讓它融一融，再加上一些油，然後把這三樣加進去拌炒一下，也可以悶一悶，大概到你覺得那些食物熟的差不多（馬鈴薯變半透明、南瓜開始軟化）之後，就可以關火，把全數的南瓜以及一半的紅蘿蔔撈起來大概放涼一兩分鐘（鍋子裡的另一半紅蘿蔔跟馬鈴薯蓋上鍋蓋），就把撈起來的全部放進果汁機，加些水以及牛奶讓它淹過你的料一些些，就可以打成汁了，之後應該會得到一個濃稠的南瓜漿像這樣
