Cooked muesli as a Winter warmer to start your day right!(中英文食譜 / 中文下拉)

Now winter has settled in, a nice warm bowl of cooked muesli and oats is the best way to start your day - and the best part is it's healthy, simple and delicious.

Head down to your local organic supermarket, in my case I buy all my muesli, nuts and oats from Terra Madre in Merri right here in Melbourne. Terra Madre has quite a large selection of mueslis, nuts and oats (vegan and gluten free friendly).

Another thing that I really enjoy about Terra Madre is that all of there selections come packaging free. This allows you to bring your own reusable bags from home and reuse and recycle old jars and containers to store them in, leaving your kitchen and pantry looking beautiful and cutting your waste down down down!

Basically, my morning routine follows,

Take 1/2 half cup (or more) of the muesli of my choice and a 1/2 cup of gluten free oats and add 1/2 a cup of your choice of vegan milk alternative (see recepie for our soy milk here). If you enjoy a more milk consistency-add more milk.

Then cook on a small - medium flame for a few minutes until it boils, stirring occasionally. That's it! A beautiful healthy warm nutritious breakfast that takes no time at all!

燕麥粥是一道很簡單,但吃起來非常溫暖的料理,完全不需要任何烹飪的技巧,只要選擇好的穀物、燕麥和植物奶來源,將這些材料混合在一起,就能夠輕鬆地在早晨烹飪;建議用不加糖或是蜂蜜、花蜜(花蜜仍是蜜蜂採的),並且「不推薦買含糖的即溶包」,本文所提到的,都是原味生燕麥;喜歡甜味的朋友可加楓糖或是果乾,若要增添豐富口感可依照喜好加入堅果等天然食材。

燕麥的好處多多,光是一小碗的燕麥就等於一大盤的蔬菜,是腸胃的清道夫,並有益於瘦身,大家應該也熟悉,燕麥有降血壓、血脂、血糖的功效,並且還有豐富的 β 葡聚醣能改善免疫系統、維生素 B6 提高血清素,不僅能防癌、抗癌,另外還有緩解宿醉的功能,因為燕麥有助於吸收血液裡的酒精,燕麥有太多的優點,有興趣的朋友可以Google一下。

每週我必定去一趟,位於Northcote的Terra Madre,這是我最喜歡的有機超市,這裡有販售各種有機、無包裝的堅果、燕麥、巧克力、五穀雜糧、蔬菜等食材,你可以自己攜帶包裝袋,或是用店家提供的紙袋,裝自己要的份量,最後再將這些大包小包帶去櫃檯結帳。

Terra Madre提供大約7 - 10種不同種類的燕麥和穀片。在此要跟大家說,燕麥本身是不含麩質(Gluten)的,但由於在耕種或是處理的過程有可能會交叉感染,所以麩質過敏者在選購上要格外小心。我喜歡Terra Madre的無麩質生燕麥、果乾生燕麥,我會加上我自己低溫烘烤的堅果和自製植物奶(豆漿作法看這裡)(米漿、豆漿、堅果奶、燕麥奶皆為植物奶),若喜歡黏稠口感的朋友,記得不要加太多植物奶,將材料混合後,一人份煮約3-5分鐘即可,煮太久燕麥的營養會不見唷!

冬天的早晨,喝碗穀片、燕麥片配熱奶最舒服了!

Norman Westberg - 13(中文下拉)

Today was Record Store Day, with record stores all across Melbourne holding gigs. I myself am a very big Swans and had saw that Sound Spaces and Room40 was bringing out Swans very own Guitarist Norman Westberg for a free gig at Monash University Museum of Art. As I sat down, I put in my earplugs in and the show was beginning.

The stage was very minimal, alongside his guitar stood two amplifier stacks and a tall white table for his pedals. Norman played a very beautiful set, filled with delay ridden drones and soundscapes. Using his guitar, Norman created loops that felt as if they were circulating around the room. The sound encaptured the entire audience- around 50 people, with many closing their eyes for the set.

After 25 minutes the show finished, leaving everyone wanting more. A few people stayed around to chat with Norman. I told him that last time Swans played Taipei was incredible, and they should come back again. He told me hopefully they might be back after their new album is released (17th June). He was very gentle and quiet, and let me take a photo saying hello to Taiwan. Also very cute, he told me he finished the gig early because the lights were too bright for his eyes- but he really liked todays sounds.

After we finished our conversation, I saw a cute older woman who was very amazed by his music. She didn't know who Norman or Swans were, but norman still hung out and thanked her, it was very sweet.

Norman Westberg - 13 (Here)

墨爾本是音樂之城,在今天尤其熱鬧,全城的唱片行都擠滿了許多的促銷活動和免費演出,這是一個樂迷和收藏家最喜歡的日子—Record Store Day。我捨棄了這個重大節慶,並前往離市區有段距離的蒙納市大學附設MUMA藝術中心,觀賞Norman Westberg(Swans的吉他手)的免費演出。

這是一個類似演講的小空間,舞台配置也很簡約,當我戴上耳塞的同時,Norman便開始演奏,他操控著那些效果器,不時著撥弄、彈奏吉他,一層層地堆疊這些聲音,而這些聲音在這小空間裡面遲緩地環繞著,非常大聲也非常漂亮。

Norman在彈奏時,會突然抬起頭,用眼神巡視觀眾,幾次被他盯著,讓我非常緊張,當我頭一撇望向周遭,我看見現場的觀眾,其實大多都是閉著眼睛的。我好幾次聽的出神,驚醒時望向台上,我發現其實Norman也是出神的。

約莫25分鐘演出結束後,我上前和Norman聊天,我告訴他Swans在台北的演出非常好看,希望他們能夠再來。Norman說:新專輯發行後,希望能夠再來台灣巡迴。並接著告訴我,今天這場即興演出,現場的聲音真好,其實我想要表演得更久一些,但天花板上的燈實在是太亮了,我的眼睛快睜不開了,只好提前結束了。

坦白說主動過去和他講話時非常緊張,結果沒想到Norman竟然講了這一段萌成這樣的話。

最後在離開前,發現到Norman在和一位老奶奶聊天。這位來看展覽的老奶奶,在聽完演出後,對他的音樂十分有興趣,於是這可愛的兩個人就在這飄著細雨的午後,一邊喝著啤酒一面悠哉的聊了起來。

2014年5月30日,OVDS推出以Drum n Bass、Trap、Hardcore、Dubstep、Progressive等此派樂曲所貫徹而成的首張專輯"HEARTBREAK RESISTANCE"《心碎電阻》。這張經典的專輯問世後,除了讓台灣的電子音樂現場變得更加豐富之外,也讓OVDS一舉成名受到國際的注目,這兩年來他們受邀巡迴的足跡遍佈世界各地,如:美國( 德州、紐約、紐澤西、華頓、波士頓、費城、巴爾的摩、威明頓 )、日本(東京、埼玉、千葉、名古屋、大阪、神戶、京都) 、中國(香港、廣州、深圳)法國(留尼旺)等地。

《The Parallel》EP是OVDS在2015-16年間,分別在法國留尼旺島、德國柏林、日本東京、台灣等地編寫、錄製而成。具有高度辨識性的首曲〈Dictator Of The Night〉以Progressive Breaks作為輪廓,揉進了Grime, Trap元素,並使用了節奏詭譎的銳舞元素,企圖打破舞曲規則;主打歌〈The Parallel〉是一首洋溢著青春的夏末舞曲,令人直接想起《The Smashing Pumpkins》的經典之作〈1979〉—雙主唱提供熟悉的聲調,分別說唱著人(巡)生(迴)中,那些苦大於甜的脆弱與堅強、失落和希望,而明亮、層次分明的鼓打貝斯細膩地則是錯落在孤寂的主旋律之間,誠摯而悅耳。

OVDS曾說:「現在的我們更在乎的是編寫聲音的細節。」

早先DJ KlTrust曾為國內、外樂團製作過許多混音,而〈Future Game〉則是OVDS以樂團名義推出的首支混音作品,工業扭曲的Brostep聲響延續了首張專輯《心碎電阻》的強烈風格,能量高張且藥味十足;結尾曲〈OVDS〉則是難得一見的「不插電」範本,由主唱Gioreno與Kails重新編曲填詞,並邀來《Utopia 世外桃源》主唱閻韋伶一同詮釋這迷濛抒情新版〈OVDS〉。

《The Parallel》EP有著一股青春的悵然,就像是派對通宵到清晨,景色從低傳真變成高傳真。日光挾持著人質跳上計程車,在穿越場域的路程與漂浮之間,有著邊緣性格的朋友突然坦白,說了一些不是煩惱的的煩惱,而你想起一直想要卻從沒實現的公路旅行,夢中人仍醒不來。你要司機關掉不合時宜的歌,最後你選擇獨自下車。

Organic homemade soy milk(中英文食譜 / 中文下拉)

Hey everyone, back here to share with you a very delicious, nutritious and simple recipe for home made Soy Milk. By using a simple nut bag you can very easily make your own vegan milk alternative to enjoy with your breakfast muesli or coffee this winter.

Ingredients:
2 Cups (200g) of Organic Soy Bean. The ratio for Soy bean to water should always be 1:4.
2 x 8 Cups (800g) of Cold Clean Water
1/2 of a fresh Vanilla Pod (optional)
White Sugar, to taste (optional) *If you prefer brown sugar, Only add when you're using the milk, not during the cooking process.

Other:
Nut bag
food processor or Blender
Big saucepan
Wooden spoon

To start your soy milk, first get your 2 cups of soy beans and 8 cups of water, and place in a bowl and soak for 6 hours. Once you are able to that see the soybeans have expanded about twice their size they are ready.

Next drain the water from the soy beans and then remove the skins from the beans. this is a very tedious process, but try to have some fun with it. If you don’t want to remove the skin, this is OK, however soy skin is known to contain Purine, which has been linked to gout. Once you have removed the skins, again wash the soybeans with cold water and then move the beans to a processor or blender.

Once in the blender, add the second 8 cups of water and process the beans for 5 minutes, making sure they are very well mixed together and have a very smooth soy milk texture. The next step for making your soy milk is very important as you cannot drink your soy milk raw, this will lead to food poisoning and none of the nutrients have been extracted from the milk.

Take the mixture from the blender and place them in a nut bag or cheese cloth and drain them into a bowl or container. This process can also be done after cooking the beans, which creates a much stronger flavour. If you like, the left over soy powder from your bag can be used as a natural fertiliser for your garden, or saved to make Soy Bread, which we will show you how in the future.

Using your biggest saucepan, which should allow for three times as much volume as your soy milk, due to the blooming of the milk, add the soy milk to a medium flame. Lightly stir the milk over the flame until it comes to the boil, then change to a small flame and cook for 10 minutes. If you want to add white sugar or vanilla add this now. During the ten minutes, the soy milk will bubble and appear very large, however don’t worry just continue to cook and stir the milk- you don’t have to remove the bubbles!

During this process never place a lid on top, because you want the negative elements of the soy beans to be removed from your milk. After the 10 minutes take your milk off the flame and let it stand for some time before bottling or jarring it and placing it inside your fridge!

自製豆漿

「現代乳牛從兩歲成熟開始,終其一生不斷的遭受非自然強行受孕、生小牛,不斷工作直至死亡;無法受孕的乳牛則會被注射高劑量賀爾蒙,來提供超過自身能產出的十倍奶水-超過三分之一的奶牛都患有乳腺炎。」

在我成為純素者之前,早就拒絕喝牛奶很久了,因為我知道牛奶不僅會酸化血液、阻塞血管甚至造成骨質疏鬆。我想,和這些不健康的乳牛、所注射的激素,有絕對的關係。

今天Cloudier要教大家用無基改的有機黃豆來做豆漿,只要一個濾袋、攪拌機或果汁機就可以輕鬆完成。喝豆漿、堅果奶、植物奶和燕麥奶來代替牛奶,不僅是更友善可愛的選擇,也是素食者攝取優質的蛋白質最好的來源之一。

有機黃豆 兩杯(200g)黃豆和水的比例都是1:4
冷水 八杯(800g)x 2份

香草莢 半根(可省略)
白糖 適量(可省略)若要加黑 / 紅糖,必須在飲用前才加,若在煮時加入會產生變性沈澱物。

濾袋(製作起司或是堅果奶的布袋)
攪拌機 / 果汁機
長勺
大鍋

兩杯(200g)黃豆對八杯(800g)冷水,將黃豆浸泡六小時後,直至黃豆膨漲至一倍大後,取出將水瀝乾,並有耐心地將黃豆去皮後。不去皮也行,但豆皮內含「普林」(英文:Purine),若腎臟代謝功能不佳恐形成尿酸,而造成痛風。去皮後的豆子用冷水沖過一遍後,將黃豆放入攪拌機 / 果汁機中再加入八杯(800g)冷水,至少攪打五分鐘以上,並確認均勻混合,成為濃密細緻的豆漿。此時的生豆漿絕對不能飲用,未煮熟的物質會引起食物中毒,並且無法完全釋出營養,必須徹底煮熟。

將豆漿放入濾袋裡面過濾豆渣,並確實擰乾豆渣,擠出豆漿。若要煮出更香濃的豆漿,此步驟也可在豆漿煮熟、放涼後進行。剩下的豆渣可施肥或是製作麵包,製作豆渣麵包的食譜未來會與各位分享。

拿出家裡最大的鍋子,最好是豆漿的三倍大以上,因為豆漿再煮熟過程中,會膨脹成至少兩倍大。將打好的豆漿放入大鍋中,用中火邊煮邊攪拌,煮沸後,轉小火煮至少十分鐘。要加入糖或是香草莢的,轉小火時即可加入。此時會冒出大量的細緻泡泡為假性煮熟現象,無需撈掉泡泡,請繼續攪拌,十分鐘後即完成,並在三天內喝完。

為了將生豆漿的有害元素蒸發掉,再次提醒全程都不能蓋鍋蓋噢!

I remember in his book, Medium Raw, Anthony Bourdain said something along the lines of, An over ambitious, vegetable-full pasta is usually cheaper than an classic simple pasta, why are we paying the extra money? What are they doing to our food?

Cloudeer is a big pasta fan, but I don’t go out for pasta often because I already know how to make a good pasta, however I just wanted to try a good traditional pasta. Try not over doing the sauce and Fat cheese (feta) please? 

Since March this year, my classmate Andrea — a handsome Italian boy, has told me I must try his uncles restaurant Da Guido La Pasta Melbourne. Andrea makes fresh pasta every morning and said: WE ARE TRUELY AUTHENTIC and we are THE BEST TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RESTAURANT ON LYGON ST. (What he means is, although many try to replicate and create an authentic traditional pasta, many fail in Melbourne.)

I have been to Da Guido La Pasta Melbourne a few times already, usually opting for lunch time because —
a) it is almost always booked out, and

b) they offer an incredible special lunch set for a very generous price, which comes soup (Also home made. Also amazing) a pasta, home made bread (Again. Amazing), a salad as well as a coffee. All for around $24 per person!

c) They don't use any artificial colours and flavouring

I usually older one of two vegetable pastas-Spaghetti with tomato, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil and basil and Fusilli with garden fresh vegetables. Spaghetti with tomato and basil is daily fresh spaghetti pasta with fresh tomato and some good quality salt, then they put fresh basil on the top, that’s all!  Simple and delicious. 
The second is Fusilli with garden fresh vegetables. This pasta consists of fresh Fusilli and zucchini, pumpkin and seasonal vegetables. This dish tastes like a sunny day, very warm and sweet, often reminding me of some great field foods 
I want you to go to their website and take a look for yourself. Have a look at the menu, it really is a good menu, with only ten main courses, showing true confidence in their recipes. 

If you love drinking, I highly recommend a look into the wine list as well!
波登:加一堆材料的義大利麵通常比一盤簡單道地的義大利麵還要便宜,基本上,你是付額外的錢,請人不要胡搞你的食物 。— 《半生不熟》

Cloudieer是義大利麵迷,每週在家裡的廚房煮上兩三道義大利麵是常有的事,所以在外出用餐的日子,除非在「沒有素食的東西」或是「這間餐廳值得一試」的情況下,我通常是不會點義大利麵,一是盡量不吃麵粉跟蛋(新鮮的義大利麵是用蛋跟麵粉製成,純素者跟Gluten free的人要特別注意),二是很怕送上來是冷凍蔬菜的紅醬義大利麵(你永遠不知道)。

今年三月時,班上最英俊的義大利同學Andrea 邀請我去他舅舅的餐廳Da Guido La Pasta Melbourne用餐,他說店裡的義大利麵,是他在每天早晨新鮮現做的,非常美味,同時Andrea也用非常憤怒語氣指Lygon St這條有小義大利街之稱上的店全是假的,只有他們是真正的義大利餐廳。

店裡販售兩種素食的義大利麵,番茄義大利麵 — 傳統麵條配上新鮮打碎的蕃茄與一些好鹽、大蒜、橄欖油,以及一片羅勒,是絕無畫蛇添足、簡單大方的美味;時蔬螺旋麵 — 螺旋麵配上南瓜、櫛瓜與時令蔬菜,這道菜讓我想起南方料理,非常地溫暖,吃下一口溫潤甘美的蔬菜與螺旋麵,你會忍不住幻想它們是從充滿陽光的地方鎖採集而來。

我已經造訪這間店好幾次了,晚上的生意非常好,所以我通常中午來用餐,非常推薦午間特餐:一份義大利麵、濃湯(非常美味)、自製麵包(超讚)、沙拉、咖啡,只要24元。

這間餐廳只販售十道主食,這樣的自信也是我喜歡這裡的原因,去他們的網站看看吧,真是精挑細選出的經典菜單;若你喜歡品酒,我一併推薦他們的酒單,應該說,請他們推薦你餐酒吧!

本單位一向不食用生冷及咖啡,所以我們不點套餐,單點義大利麵仍附贈湯品和自製麵包。

Matcha Mylkbar, St Kilda

Blogger: http://goo.gl/RhUUe6

Today we went to Matcha Mylkbar at St Kilda, Macha Mylkbar is a very interesting vegan place, if you happen to be travelling through or live in Melbourne- you should check it out.

I hadn't had coffee for a very long time , because coffee for Chinese medicine, is good for some but unhealthy for others, therefore I don't usually drink it- only if here is a very good coffee please someone has suggested I try- will I try coffee. 

Also I don't drink or eat food that is cold- or less than my body temperature. So I opted to not have the smoothies, however my friend Julian said that it was absolutely stunning and that he would come back for one for sure. 

Next time we can share their main course.

Beetroot Latte
freshly pressed beetroot juice, beetroot powder, almond milk.

Excuse Me, But I Find You Very Appealling
banana, agave, dates, natural vanilla bean, salted caramel,
almond milk.

72 Acland St, 
St Kilda VIC 3182
03 9534 1111
Open 7:30am - 4:30pm, 7 days a week (Kitchen closes at 3)

今天下午受朋友之邀,來了位於聖科達海灘區的Matcha Mylkbar純素餐廳探險。

今天之前已聽說Matcha Mylkbar出品的特製拿鐵值得一嚐,翻開菜單果真有特製拿鐵專區,除基本咖啡外,另有約七種不同的調味拿鐵,像是:薑黃、甜菜根、蘑菇、Chai等多種選擇-在墨爾本咖啡不會印在Menu上,通常一坐下店員就會先問你要喝什麼,大家就會在此時先喝一杯餐前咖啡或是茶、果汁,並一邊研究要吃什麼。

其實我很久沒有喝咖啡了,因為咖啡對於中醫來說,並不是每個人都適合,所以在沒有諮詢過醫生的情況下,本部落格也不建議大家作為日常飲用。

所以我這少少的額度,只留給好咖啡和值得一試的咖啡。今天我選了甜菜根杏仁奶拿鐵-咖啡味淡,反而嚐起來有芹菜的味道,十分... 令人難以解釋,(但值得一試)。

本部落格一向推崇不食低於體溫的生冷,所以我沒有下海品嘗這道名為「不好意思」香蕉果昔,不過嘴很挑的友人朱利安說:「非常令人驚艷的好喝,我會因為這杯果昔下次再來。」

所以在此也推薦身體適合生、裸食的朋友這道以香蕉、龍舌蘭糖漿、奇亞籽、枸杞、蜜棗、香草豆、鹹焦糖與杏仁奶所組成的「EXCUSE ME, BUT I FIND YOU VERY APPEALLING」。

下次會介紹Matcha Mylkbar 所販售的餐點。
