Goats videos 親親小羊
一個距我們 25 英哩養羊的朋友,要求把他的奶山羊 "阿花",許配給貓熊,阿花非常溫馴,一見我們就投緣,接回家後,當然馬上介紹給貓熊,還餵她吃了幾顆大水梨、紫梅和紅李做點心,正餐二割牧草也自然是充分供應啦
阿花主人家五英畝左右的草地,養了 10 多頭羊 (最好是兩英畝地只養一頭羊比較健康),又據他說今年馬達壞了,沒辦法從河裡抽水澆地,只靠陳年一割牧草充飢
我們家則是每天持續爲輪替的牧園灑水,所以野黑莓、青草仍然茂盛,加上南瓜葉、玉米等點心,阿花真是樂瘋了
我們也不知道這位小姐何時會發情,不過貓熊滿紳士的,像影子似的跟前跟後,我們等她懷孕後就送回給主人
覺得阿花走路有點怪怪的,檢查之下,發現或許她的主人太忙,没幫她剪蹄子,腳底的硬層好厚,眞可憐,這樣羊兒會很痛苦,就像人類腳底長雞眼一樣,走路會很不舒服,而且腳型會逐漸變歪 (類似人類的內外八字),影響體型發育,所以趕緊幫她剪了蹄
許多人雖然養羊,但有時不太照顧,所以羊兒死亡也不知原因,長寄生蟲更是常事,這也是爲什麼我們絕不贈送或賤價賣羊,以免買主不珍惜
由於阿花是客人,因此她吃剩的南瓜葉,才給露比等自己女兒吃,她們也不太介意,只是好奇怎麼多了一頭陌生羊

留學生時代曾有一本手寫的食譜,裡面記滿了各式自己想吃、但那時的美國連亞洲材料都買不到的點心和小吃,由於當時功課忙碌、經濟窘迫,因此許多做法和材料都以經濟、易做、和節省時間為主。
這道經過我改良,簡單易做,滑嫩可口的蛋塔,當時十分出名,甚至應邀到請客的老美主人家外燴。
餡的材料:
牛奶 300 克
白糖或黑糖 80 克 (看你希望蛋塔是焦糖顏色或奶白色)
蛋 4 個
1. 用小火均勻溶化牛奶與糖 (千萬別煮滾了),放一旁待涼
2. 大碗打蛋液
3. 把放涼後的糖奶加入蛋液碗中,打均勻
皮的材料:
低筋麵粉 500 克
無鹽奶油 150 克 (室溫或小火爐上溶化後放涼)
糖一大匙
鹽一小匙
蛋兩個
1. 大碗打蛋,加入糖、鹽、溶化後放涼的奶油,再打均勻
2. 加入麵粉,不要揉
3. 把所有材料用壓的或捏的,混合均勻
4. 麵皮碗蓋上蓋子,醒 20 分鐘
5. 麵團分成 12 等份
6. 取一麵團在雙掌中滾成球狀,再壓平
7. 把壓扁的麵餅放入烤盤小杯中
8. 用拇指把麵餅向四壁推均勻成小杯狀
9. 底部必須比四壁厚,四壁儘量高與杯緣齊
10, 把 12 個塔皮依此法做好
11. 用大湯匙把餡液舀入塔皮杯中
12. 烤箱 180 C 烤 25 - 30 分鐘,烤成後,在烤箱內放 10 分鐘降溫,再取出,以免烤箱內外溫差太大,內餡會塌掉,影響外觀

Early Spring 2010 (March) 初春
剛過完中秋節的一個濃霧清晨 與羊兒在森林裡散步吃草
A foggy morning in the front yard 前山多霧的早晨
I take goats for a hike to the woods almost every morning. It is fun to watch them eat and play. I sometimes found deer tracks, a pile of animal poop, or a twig worm which is like the following video.
Twig worm 枯枝蟲You can hardly tell it is a worm when it doesn't move
枯枝蟲不動的時候,你真的很難看出他是蟲兒

Lichen 是一種在空氣很乾淨的地方,才會長出的鬍鬚,羊兒非常愛吃,不過它通常都掛在高枝上,很難搆到
才入秋就下了一場半英吋的豪雨,喜歡溫暖乾燥的羊兒,一清早就叫我去幫她們打掃房間和吃早飯,因為下雨天她們比較喜歡呆在屋裡, 不愛入山
