<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I made some Tong Yuen recently. I made some rainbow colours tong yuen last year <span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;"><a href="http://desperatehousewifeinholland.blogspot.nl/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=23" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;">see last year</span></a> </span>But this year my colour choice came from this bowl I have made.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I will name this bowl Siew Chooi. Although Siew Chooi is not perfectly thrown on the throwing wheel but the imperfection makes Siew Chooi unique.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I usually like cold tong yuen but it is so cold here in Holland right now, a warm bowl of tong yuen is better.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Baked some buns today. I wanted to illustrate this recipe for myself as I can't read a recipe while baking. I have to be able to just "look" at a recipe and bake. If I have to read I will probably make some tea and even start have the fireplace on. By the time I finish reading a recipe I might probably doze off like a grandma with my cats nestling near my ankles.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Actually the truth was, I just made some tableware. So I thought I would bake something to photograph my plates with. This is Mayi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Mayi was formed entirely by hand. Because of this, the surface is irregular. I think irregularities like this should be embraced as it is handmade.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is Natanee. It is a bit different from Lacey and Meicy as I used a thicker brush on glaze. The underglaze is a bit runny. I should have used a thicker underglaze. Lacey and Meicy were glazed with a powder form transparent glaze and their clay body are still visible.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I feel I owe Amelia at least coffee or tea. I have decided to ask Amelia for tea and sample some curry puffs I baked for the first time. Help yourself Amelia, feel free to grab one or two curry puffs, don't be shy! Do you like some sugar in your tea? I added some music notes on the sugar with marzipan, you know? To remind you again I have music! Thank you so much Amelia.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">According to a legend, in the Han Dynasty, there was a maid of honor who was called Yuanxiao. She missed her parents a lot but she could not leave the palace. Therefore, she wept all the time and even wanted to turn to suicide. A minister knew her story and promised to help her. What Yuanxiao needed to do was to make lots of Tangyuans, which was the best cuisine she could make, in order to worship the god on 15th day of the first month in Chinese calendar. Finally, Yuanxiao did a great job and the emperor was so contented; therefore, Yuanxiao was permitted to meet her parents, Tangyuan was named as Yuanxiao and 15th day of the first month in Chinese calendar was considered to be Yuanxiao Festival.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #38761d;">In The Netherlands the Dutch celebrate Sinterklaas </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas</span></a><span style="color: #38761d;"> on the 5th of December. </span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Kids would get presents on their shoes or on the day itself Zwarte Piet ( Sint Nicholaas help) would deliver a sack of presents for kids.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For big kids who do not believe in Sinterklaas anymore, say beginning 10 year old, would participate in a name lottery system. One could get a name and he or she will play secret Santa and buy for the recipient a present anonymously. He himself will get a present from some other secret santa too. My kids school practice this and so do we at home.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> It is extra exciting when one would hide the present in a "piñata" presentation together with a poem. These "piñata" are called "surprise" (pronounced as "surprees" as in "see") I wanted to call it surprise so much. I wonder why the word "verrassing" is not used because that is a Dutch word for surprise. So everyone is calling it a surprees but it is spelt as surprise.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">5 December over here in Holland is a big celebration, the ceramic atelier will be closed. Weeks before 5 December people will be shopping for presents. Basically from what I understand, long time ago there was a Saint called Saint Nicolaas ( now affectionately known as Sinterklaas) who will come to Holland from Spain on his birthday to give kids presents. He has assistants called the Zwarte Piet ( Black Piet). There are many Zwarte Piets. They carry a sack each. And in each sack are "Pepernoten" cookies and presents. Zwarte Piets are dark because they used to be pirates in the sea who got tired of being pirates and wanted to do good, so they decided to help Sinterklaas.</span></div>

<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This recipe below is pain rustique making chef, levain, refreshments for the purpose of using some of it for a new batch, as in traditional bakeries. This process is without using yeast. It is kind of making yogurt which reminds me of the time I learnt how to make natural yogurt with Ayse my turkish friend. Using a spoon of 'old' yogurt to 'activate' 'new' milk into yogurt but as soon as yogurt is ready, we would save 1 spoon 'old' yogurt for the next batch.</span></div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I had taken a long break to Malaysia in the summer leaving me so relax that I forget to get back to my mundane routine in Holland. When I suddenly wake up from my dreamy trip I realize it is September now! Oh yeah, the cool crisp weather helps a lot in reminding me that is not summer anymore. Time to join my friends here for apples and walnuts picking and cooking. Or walk in the forest persuading myself to pick up a new talent how to pick edible mushrooms instead of admiring death cap mushrooms (caution : not edible).</span></div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Another street food that I absolute must have and is found in Malaysia only is this pan mee.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Pan Mee</b> is a Hokkein-style noodle, originating from Malaysia. Its Chinese name literally translates to "plank mee" maybe it looks like a flat flour noodle like a plank ( my guess). </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The dough is made from flour just like pasta. Traditionally, the dough is hand-kneaded and torn into smaller pieces of dough. Nowadays, the dough can be kneaded using machine into a variety of shapes, the most common shape being flat strips of noodle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Pan Mee is typically served in soup, together with dried anchovies, minced pork, mushrooms, and a leafy vegetable such as </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_potato" style="background-image: none; color: #6aa84f; text-decoration: none;" title="Sweet potato">sweet potato</a><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> leaves or sayur manis (</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauropus_androgynus" style="background-image: none; text-decoration: none;" title="Sauropus androgynus"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">sauropus androgynus</span></a><span style="color: #6aa84f;">).

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I was determined to introduce this dish to my kids ( and their friends) in Holland. They call it pasta soup. I don't really have all the ingredients for it, I guess I just have to improvise with what I could find here. But I knew I need to do more to entice kids to try this.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I suppose I should at least try to do a quick one.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">DH Ahaus gave me a baby zucchini plant. Little did I know it can bloom and flourish into a healthy plant with courgette flowers. It is easy to find zucchini or courgette but not the flower here at the market or supermarket. I could only see them served in chic restaurants.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Neighbor at the corner have some healthy looking grape plants. After looking at it,a light bulb appears with the dolma idea on my head. Immediately after I confessed to neighbor on the left about it, she showed her ages old cookbook with a dolma recipe in it. The cookbook was actually written by her deceased friend who was a purser with KLM and had travelled many countries in the world. He sampled so many cuisines and concocted and compiled them into a recipe book from all over the world. I think in Iran it is called Dolme, in Greece Dolmades and I heard my Turkish friend muttered Dolma all the time. Neighbour on the right was equally enthusiatic about the idea and we agreed to make it together.</span></div>

Neighbour on the left plucked 50 leaves vine leaves from corner neighbor with permission of course. And went to Amsterdam to buy some minced lamb meat. Meanwhile I went to another neighbour and plucked some parsley from her front yard, some mint from my yard, and took out 1 cup of rice from the pantry.</span></div>

<i>Raku</i> means "enjoyment", "comfort" or "ease" and is derived from Jurakudai, the name of a palace, in Kyoto, that was built by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyotomi_Hideyoshi" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Toyotomi Hideyoshi">Toyotomi Hideyoshi</a> (1537–1598), who was the leading warrior statesman of the time.</div>

In the 16th century, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sen_Riky%C5%AB" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Sen Rikyū">Sen Rikyū</a>, the Japanese tea master, was involved with the construction of the Jurakudai and had a tile-maker, named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C5%8Djir%C5%8D" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Chōjirō">Chōjirō</a>, produce hand-moulded tea bowls for use in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Wabi-sabi">wabi</a>-styled tea ceremony that was Rikyū's ideal. The resulting tea bowls made by Chōjirō were initially referred to as "ima-yaki" ("contemporary ware") and were also distinguished as Juraku-yaki, from the red clay (Juraku) that they employed. Hideyoshi presented Jokei, Chōjirō's son, with <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">a seal that bore the Chinese character for <i>raku</i><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raku_ware#cite_note-0" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[1]</a></sup></span>.</b> Raku then became the name of the family that produced the wares. Both the name and the ceramic style have been passed down through the family (sometimes by adoption) to the present 15th generation (Kichizaemon). The name and the style of ware has become influential in both Japanese culture and literature.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I must say I prefer the macarons without any other added flavour maintaining its' pure and simple flavour from the almond itself. Adding matcha powder to the macarons seems to kill the almond flavour in the macaron cookies. I think I will just stick to the original flavour in the cookie but be creative with the ganache flavour next time. Just like football or any other games, there will always be a next time.</span><br />
