Steamed Egg

Today，I steamed the first egg in my life!

It's quite easy: you break an egg, add some green onion, peas, salt, and oil; and then, steam it! It turned out better than I had expected. But I over-cooked it, and it wasn't as tender as it could be.

When I was a little kid, I spent a lot of time in my grandma's cousin's. She always made me a steamed egg after kinder garden. Those were the best steamed eggs I've ever had. The secret? Nothing but oil. The old lady--as well as my grandparents--was from Anhui province, where people generally put a lot of oil in their dishes. The steamed eggs she made were oily, but heavenly delicious!

One dish my college canteen often served was steamed eggs with ground pork. I never really like steaming eggs with meat, but it's kind of a tradition dish that people steam eggs with ground pork or sea food. My college canteen was awful. But guess what? Three years away from it, I miss the careless life with no burdens of cooking and washing dishes!

The last kind of movie you should watch with your boyfriend

So guess what? The last kind of movie you should watch with your boyfriend is love movies!

Let alone the fact that most guys don't like the "chick flick" thing; unless you and your loved one are a happy couple like in the love movies--unfortunately, most of us are not--love movies could create a lot of awkwardness; or even endanger your relationship.

As women, we like to think, compare, and then think again. A love movie, essentially, is a combination of plots which we can reflect on our own relationship and make comparison. Well that creates troubles. Because men don't like you to do that. I don't even know why. But let me be cynical: they don't feel comfortable talking about certain things in your relationship because they know the truth is painful?

Last night, I watched He's Just Not That Into You with my boyfriend. It's not a great movie, honestly.
But it's fun to watch other people make mistakes in their relationship. As the movie went on, I started to regret my decision. It's one thing to listen to my boyfriend praising: "Scarlett Johansson is hot!" or commenting: "Many guys fear that they will meet the one they really love after they get married." But it's another to wonder: really? would you dump me for Scarlett Johansson? Will you meet someone you really "love" if one day we get married?

I know it sounds crazy, but once the thoughts started, it's hard to stop them. During the rest of the night, I tried to start the conversation several times. My boyfriend, apparently not interested, paid no attention to my questions. His aloofness almost got me angry. So the night ended with me going to bed unhappily, without my questions being answered.

I know my questions would never be answered. But I blame the movie for giving me a bad mood. The conclusion is, you can watch all kinds of movies with your boyfriend: horror movies, war movies, sci-fi movies, comedies, or even sometimes, pornography, but DON'T watch love movies with him. It makes you doubt, and doubts make you crazy!
