I taught the French classic apple tart class in April and it was a delight experience, as the apple tart associates with lots of good memories.
 We had strawberry tart class form 7-9 pm on Thursday May 8th, 2025 at San Carlos Youth Center.
I’m sharing the recipe for the Parmesan cheese mini scones from the book Scones and Biscuits by Morioka Ari. I have made it many times and received lots of good feedback.   The jam recipe usually contains 50-80% sugar of the fruit weight. With pectin, we can make a strawberry jam with around 18% sugar in the fruit amount. Try this recipe for other seasonal fruits, such as blueberry, raspberry, orange, and apricot. Adjust the sugar amount according to the sweetness of the fruits by tasting.
 Since I was a kid, everyone, parents, family, friends, and colleagues, has been constantly telling me, you are too skinny, eat more. So I tried very hard to eat more every meal to gain some weight. However, during the past forty years, I have always been slim most of the time; on the contrary to gaining weight, I feel stomach discomfort. Because I love cooking, I have always tried new or complicated recipes, and would feel exhausted after I cook a meal, but never satisfied. I am like trying to grasp something in vain.
 从小到大，父母，亲人，朋友，同事总是对我说，你太瘦了，要多吃点，这样才能长胖。于是，我常常告诫自己，要努力地多吃一碗饭。但是四十年下来，我的体重很少超过45kg，反倒是经常会因为吃太多而肠胃不适，我觉得很对不起大家。因为爱吃，也常常尝试各种新的食谱，总是不辞辛苦地去做各种复杂的菜式。自己很累，却没有满足感，好像总是在不断追求一种本身不存在的东西。
As the weather gets colder, I want to share my kid’s favorite afternoon treat: hot chocolate.
 Today, I baked Madeleine. Somehow, I haven’t made it for many years. Of course, I re-read the passage by the French author Marcel Proust, which talked about the memories brought up by the taste of tea with this tiny scallop-shaped cake.
