Guotie / Jiaozi 锅贴 ／ 饺子

Filling:
1 lb ground pork or beef
6 T. sesame oil
2 t. sugar
3/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 lb cabbage, shredded
1 t. salt to extract fluid from cabbage
1/3 lb. chopped green onions

Skin:
3 cups flour (Prima Flour is the best - Hong Kong flour will result in really sticky dough, wrong for jiaozi)
3/4 cup cold water (ice)
1/2 cup flour (to prevent sticking during kneading)

Method:
Filling:

Mix ground pork and sesame oil/ sugar/ salt/ pepper well.
Chop cabbage and mix with salt and let sit for 10 min. Squeeze out the excess water.
Mix the cabbage, ground pork and green onions well.

Skin:
In a bowl, add water to the flour and knead into a smooth dough; let it stand for 10 minutes. Roll the dough into a long baton-like roll and cut it into 50 pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a thin circle.

Place 1 portion of filling in the centre of a dough circle. Fold the circle in half and moisten the edges with water (optional). Use index finger and thumb to bring the sides together to pleat one edge while keeping the other smooth. The smooth edge will conform to the decreased length of the pleated edge. Pinch the pleats together then pinch them to seal. Repeat for the rest.

Place guotie on a heated flat frying pan with a little oil. Brown the bases (roughly 5 min). When golden at the bases, add half a cup of water and cover the lid for another 6 min. If using frozen dumplings, the timing is 5 min and 10 min respectively.

Boil the dumplings to make jiaozi.

In Christ Alone

So much has happened in the last 6.5 months.......





In Christ alone, will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I've been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I overcome
Oh I could stop and count successes like diamonds in my hands
But those trophies could not equal to the grace by which I stand

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

In Christ alone will I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
And only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my yield
And now I seek no greater honor than just to know him more
And to count my days with losses to the glory of my Lord

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

Heroe by Il Divo

My interpretation lecturer was playing this song on the computer during break today.



Como un libro
Que no sabes el final
Y te asusta lo que lees
Asi la vida es

Cuando naces
Ya te expones al dolor
Y de a poco y con valor
Logras crecer

Chorus
Y como libro el corazon
Nos ensena que hay temor
Que Hay fracasos y maldad
Que hay batallas que ganar

Y en cada página el amor
Nos convierte en luchador
Y descubres lo común
No hay un heroe como tu

Son muy pocos
Que se arriesgan por amor
Pero tu tienes la fe
Y eso lo es todo

No decaigas
Que vivir es aprender
Y no hay nada que temer
Si crees en ti

Y Como libro el corazón
Nos enseña que hay temor
Que hay fracasos y maldad
Que hay batallas que ganar

Y en cada página el amor
Nos convierte en luchador
Y descrubes lo común
No hay un heroe como tu.

Solo Dios
Sabe donde y cuando
La vida no será
Los has hecho bien
Solo con un sueño sólo sabrás
Sabrás como vencer

Y Como libro el corazón
Nos enseña que hay temor
Que hay fracasos y maldad
Que hay batallas que ganar

Y en cada página el amor
Nos convierte en luchador
Y descubres lo común
No hay un heroe como tu

天空

Finally found 王菲's song



詞：黃桂蘭 曲：楊明煌 編曲：屠穎 主唱：王靖雯/王菲

我的天空
為何掛滿 濕的淚
我的天空
為何總 灰的臉

飄流在世界的另一邊　
任寂寞侵犯 一遍一遍
天空 劃著長長的思念

你的天空
可有懸著 想的雲
你的天空
可會有 冷的月

放逐在世界的另一邊
任寂寞佔據 一夜一夜
天空 藏著深深的思念

我們天空
何時才能 成一片
我們天空
何時能 相連

等待在世界的各一邊　
任寂寞嬉笑 一年一年
天空 疊著層層的思念

但願天空
不再掛滿 濕的淚
但願天空
不再塗上 灰的臉

I will Follow Him

One Night in Beijing

北京一夜 - 陳昇
曲︰陳昇
詞︰陳昇／劉佳慧

＊女︰不想再問你　你到底在何方
不想再思量　你能否歸來嚦
想著你的心　想著你的臉
想捧在胸口　能不放就不放

男︰ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING 我留下許多情
不管你愛與不愛　都是歷史的塵埃
ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING 我留下許多情
不敢在午夜問路　怕走到了百花深處

女︰人說百花的深處　住著老情人　縫著繡花鞋
面容安詳的老人　依舊等待著那出征的歸人

男︰ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING 你可別喝太多酒
不管你愛與不愛　都是歷史的塵埃
ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING 我留下許多情
把酒對月高歌的男兒　是北方的狼族

女︰人說北方的狼族　會在寒風起　站在城門外
穿著腐蝕的鐵衣　呼喚城門外　眼中含著淚

男︰嗚　我已等待了幾千年
為何城門還不開
女︰嗚　我已等待了幾千年
為何良人不回來

合︰ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING 我留下許多情
男︰不敢在午夜問路　怕觸動了傷心的魂
合︰ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING 我留下許多情
男︰不敢在午夜問路　怕走到了地安門

女︰人說地安門裡面　有位老婦人　猶在痴痴等
面容安詳的老人　依舊等待那出征的歸人

男︰ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING 你可別喝太多酒
走在地安門外　沒有人不動真情
合︰ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING 你會留下許多情
不要在午夜問路　怕觸動了傷心的魂人)

男︰ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING (x2)

重唱　＊

男︰ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING 你會留下許多情
不要在午夜問路　怕觸動了傷心的魂

Because I love you

你的泪光 柔弱中带伤
惨白的月弯弯 勾住过往
夜太漫长 凝结成了霜
是谁在阁楼上 冰冷的绝望

雨轻轻弹 朱红色的窗
我一生在纸上 被风吹乱
梦在远方 化成一缕香
随风飘散 你的模样

菊花残 满地伤 你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠 我心事 静静淌
北风乱 夜未央 你的影子剪不断
徒留我孤单 在湖面成双

花 已向晚 飘落了灿烂
凋谢的世道上 命运不堪
愁莫渡江 秋心拆两半
怕你上不了岸 一辈子摇晃

谁的江山 马蹄声狂乱
我一身的戎装 呼啸沧桑
天微微亮 你轻声地叹
一夜惆怅 如此委婉

菊花残 满地伤 你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠 我心事 静静淌
北风乱 夜未央 你的影子剪不断
徒留我孤单 在湖面成双

我愿意
