This is another (red) version of ox tail soup. I coded as “RED” Ox tails were purchased from Coles at lunch time at about the price of $6.70/k. When most of people just walked away and didn’t even notice their existance, I found it very appealing to a person who has cravings for a pot [...]

A small plan has been made to fill in the emptyness after we came back from the holiday. I guess people are creatures who always need to do something and set a goal to get themselves busy , don’t they?So here it is: Learn more about pressure points of people’s body and practise them often. [...]

It’s said that truck drivers have already off the roads starting the strike. I was suggested to fill up the fuel tank in the car and save enough food at home. No one knows how long this is gonna be, but mostly likely it’s going to be at least 14 days. I don’t blame them [...]

Well, I thought it was Mimi travelled many ks returning to his first home (I’d love to believe this sort of pet-returning-home stories), but it was not. It all started from last Saturday night, the first night after we came back from China. I noticed a cat standing in front of our front door when [...]

每次回国,除了吃喝玩乐,洗牙是必须要做的事情之一。今年当然也不例外,我和老公在我的牙医表姐处一共只花了一个小时就搞定了两套牙,既不用等也不用花钱,真是超优待遇。 表姐对牙齿有三点见解让我感受颇深:一是小时候牙不好一定要矫正;二是小头的牙刷比大牙刷头要更好,因为可以刷到口腔最深处的智齿;三是智齿刚长出时就应该拔去,特别是长得歪斜和过程疼痛的那些智齿。根据她的说法,如果智齿拔去,对脸型的修正也有很大的好处。我后来照照镜子,发现自己的嘴里居然有全套的32 颗牙都长了出来(包括所有的智齿),难怪这些年两颌越来越宽大,原来是没有拔掉智齿的原因……唉,早知道影响容貌,我是宁可没有智齿当傻子,也愿意漂亮的 呀!:-) 不管怎么样,其实我真的挺喜欢洗牙的。虽然声音有点刺耳,但吐出牙石牙垢的那一刻,觉得有那么点上瘾。我其实从30岁那年之后就开始有点担心我的牙。我爸牙不好,好像五六十岁就已经满口假牙了。我有家族史,所以嘴里一有风吹草动,我就使劲掰着嘴巴在镜子前面照。 幸运的是:我好象继承了我妈牙齿好的传统,牙齿从来没矫正过但特别齐而且牙缝大小也合适。到目前为止除了没有广告牙齿那么亮白之外,牙齿坚固整齐,没有任何 虫牙。唯一的问题是最近这两年我牙龈出血得很厉害。我刷牙本来就狠,我的牙刷曾被老公说成是刷厕所的刷子,所以我基本上是一个月就换一次牙刷。 牙龈出血的问题其实不能忽视。我曾吃VC进补,但没有任何成效。这次洗牙,表姐说还是因为洗牙频率不够导致,理想的是半年到一年清洗一次。如果不定期清洗, 牙齿上残留的牙垢和牙石反复摩擦牙龈,就好比天天拿肉在砂纸上磨,出血是自然的。还有下方中间四颗牙齿的里侧往往最脏,因为舌下有几个凸起的小包,实际上分泌东西,所以最容易残留在那四颗牙齿的内侧壁上。 那天洗牙之后,我觉得整个口腔状况好了很多。在香港,我和老公特意买了两套电动牙刷。以前对电动牙刷不敢兴趣,但用过之后感觉“相见恨晚”。电动牙刷刷头小,振动频率高,其实对牙齿的护理比手动刷牙的确要更科学。 另外,牙线的使用也特别重要。无数牙医都证实:牙线其实是日常彻底清洁牙齿的唯一途径,刷牙有时是根本无法把牙齿间的脏东西弄干净的。 配合好玩儿的新电动牙刷、牙线和漱口水,回来后这一段时间,我觉得自己的牙齿健康状况相当不错,出血的情况再也没有出现过。 广告说:“牙口好,吃嘛嘛香”。你的牙齿快乐,你才会更快乐。
