這是我焗的第一個Banana Bread。這是我們做的聖誕樹。

要謝謝T媽媽從美國給我的生日禮物: American’s Test Kitchen HEALTHY Family Cookbook。要謝謝Grant從香港寄來的聖誕咭﹝還有嘉頓時時食、李錦記各式醬油等等﹞。

身在外地，每次收到朋友家人寄來的東西，也相當的高興。從前在倫敦唸書，每隔數天便會收到朋友家人的信。那時email還沒普及，我們卻像有多一點時間寫信，把它貼上郵票，投進郵筒。也許大家生活比從前忙碌，還說是寄一封信，收一封電郵也是太奢侈的希望。又或許我們把生活的重點放置在不同的地方了。今天，若我打開信箱時能收到你的問候，這會是難能可貴的感動場面。

This is the first Banana Bread that I baked. This is the Christmas tree that we made.

Thanks for the birthday present from Titus’ mom: American’s Test Kitchen HEALTHY Family Cookbook. Thanks for the Christmas card from Grant (plus the Hong Kong treats).

Living away from home, every time when I received mail from family and friends, I was totally excited. When I studied in London, letters from friends and family came to me every few days. Email was not popular back then but we seems to have more time to write, to put a stamp of the envelope and post it. Maybe our lives are getting busy now. Not to say to receive a letter, even the wish to read an update from email is also too big of a dream. Or maybe we put our focus of life in a different place now. Today, if I could receive a greeting from my mail box, that will be an extraordinary incident.
