Yesterday we went to our 2nd Whole Foods Cooking Class: Southern Italian Cuisine.
Chef Egg gave us a tour of Amalfi Coast learning and trying two delicious plates:
Linguini with Roasted Tomato Sauce & Seabass with Orange and Fennel
We learned about sea salt and olive oil and also enjoyed watching and playing with the kids around us.
It is so fun and we want more... :D

Happy Earth Day!
To celebrate this special day of our dear Earth, I watched a very meaningful TV program with my hubby last night: Poisoned Waters.
If you are interested in this 2-hour long documentary, you may go to the link to watch. It will definitely motivate us to rethink about our daily choices when see the human impacts on the environment pollution.
Let's do little changes to help it to survive as long as it could.
What do you wait for? Spring is already here, go shopping in Farmers market and keep yourself healthy supporting the local harvest. http://www.localharvest.org/

Italian Meatballs
I think meatball is international. Every people love it.
To start, I chose Italian meatball recipe this time:
Ingredients
1 pound combined beef, veal, pork (must be fresh)
3 large eggs
1 cup grated Romano Locatelli Cheese
1 cup bread crumb
1 clove garlic - minced
1 teaspoon salt
Preparation (All mixing is done be hand)
In a large bowl mix beef/veal/pork with eggs. Then add bread crumb, cheese, and salt. Finally add minced garlic in stages. Add a little garlic, then mix. Add some more, then mix. This way all the garlic does not end up in one meatball. Now, it's time to roll up the balls. Average size is roughly 2 inches in diameter. Will get around 18 to 20 meatballs per pound.

Our first Whole Foods Cuisine Class
We've moved to Silver Spring for 12 days already and last night we joined our neighborhood grocery store Whole Foods for Free Cuisine Class.
This first cooking class is about Indian cuisine and our teacher is Rupen Rao, an IT engineer.
We learned how to cook Butter Chicken with Cumin Rice in 20 minutes and also Baby Corn Saag (Palak Makai). Rupen not only taught us the cooking technique but also explained the nutrition details and health suggestions on cooking.
We have to say it was a very practical cooking lesson and we loved the food he demonstrated. By the way, he even has a personal website: www.RupenRao.com Every one could go there to get his authentic Indian cuisine recipes.

Are American bad bankers capable of apologizing?
This morning I heard the British bankers are apologizing to the public for what they have screwed up the society with the financial mess they caused.
My husband commented: See? Have you ever seen any American banker apologize for what they've done?
To me I really don't know whether they don't feel shame anymore or they are too shameful?

This is how 2009 will be...
Every so often my husband and I would go shopping in the Rockville area and see that more and more shops and stores are closed due to recession.
Last month the Gaithersburg Borders was closed, so is Sam Woo, a Korean restaurant on Rockville Pike, and a Shell gas station.
Bennigan's chain restaurants were all shut down for chapter 11.
Not mentioning Anne's Linen in our neighborhood and the jewelery shops are facing the difficult situation inevitably.

We are in a world of excess. Never is enough. Now it is time to pay back...

Economic Stimulus Package
Today I read the newspaper The Christian Science Monitor and this caught my attention. The illustration clearly show those sectors the $817 billions distribute to.
I don't know how American government could generate this huge amount of money other than printing more bills in order to rescue this economic crisis but I do understand government must do some remedy to pull up a little bit the worsened economy.
The huge tax cut would benefit most of the Americans in the coming tax season, especially for many unemployed people it is somehow helpful for their temporary cash shortage problem.
As to the world currency, that is such another topic to watch. Will US dollar be depreciated soon? And will gold price be arising continuously as investors' security hedge in such a shaking crisis period?
As to Jim Rogers talking about euro won't be around in 20 years, that is a serious thing to consider for our investment sake...
