腌黄瓜

独门秘技腌黄瓜——酸,甜,辣,爽!

偶经常去前门的都一处烧麦馆,到不是贪恋里边的烧麦,而是钟情于里边的酸辣黄瓜条,自认为虽然价格贵了点(五快钱一小碟,直径不超过十厘米的那种碟子,而 且也只是码放着寥寥数根而已),但是味道超级爽口,舔中带酸,还伴着淡淡的辣味,冰冰凉凉清爽的不得了,在别的饭店从未吃到过。于是今天就琢磨着在家里自 己做了一盘,没想到效果非常好,和店里的味道一模一样,晚餐的时候摆上桌得到了老公的强烈支持!

现在就把方法介绍给大家,有兴趣的朋友不妨一试。

主料:鲜嫩黄瓜两至三根(一定要顶花带刺的做出来才爽口哦)

调料:A.盐一勺

B.白醋五勺,冰糖一块(核桃大小),蜂蜜一勺,味精小半勺,干红辣椒四个(掰成小段)

制作方法:1,将黄瓜洗净,切成大约八厘米长手指头粗细的小段,放在干净容器内用盐搅拌均匀,待用。

2,将B里面的材料一起放进一个小碗里边,搅拌均匀,并放置到冰糖完全溶解。

3,黄瓜用盐腌二十分钟左右会渗出很多水分,把这些水分倒掉,并将刚才调好的B调味料到入黄瓜中搅拌均匀。

4,放置冰箱中冷藏一天,即可。

特点:酸中带甜,辣味适中,冰爽可口,开胃消食。

需要注意的几点:1,一定要用冰糖和白醋,不要用白糖和米醋/陈醋,否则作不出那种清爽的味道。

2,用盐腌黄瓜的时候,盐的用量切勿过多,否则会影响最后清甜的口感。

3,此道凉菜放置在冰箱中腌制,所以特别适合夏天食用,根据我在都一处的经验,在保证卫生的情况下腌至的时间如果超过两天效果会更好。如果只腌一天,也已经很不错了。

4,和别的凉菜不同的是,这道凉菜不需要放香油,以强调不带一滴油脂的清爽感。

GVIM 7.0 and netrw

Recently I installed gvim7.0 on my windows XP and I am happy with the new spell check feature. However, I can not remotely write to a ftp file anymore by using "e ftp://www.abc.com/file.txt". I used to be able to do that with gvim6.3. The issues lies in the netrw vim plugin.

To solve this problem, I had to get to the netrw.vim plugin webpage (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1075) and install the latest version (version 102).

To install it, you have to gunzip it first. This is insane because gunzip is not native to Windows. Although I do have it on my machine through unixutils, I don't think many other Windows XPs have it.

Anyway, after installing the latest version, the problem seems to be fixed. I miss the old good days that vim (and gvim) just works out of box.
