Download or read book Fried Eggs with Chopsticks written by Polly Evans and published by Delta. This book was released on 2006-09-26 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polly Evans’s itinerary for China was simple: travel by luxurious high-speed train and long-distance bus, glide along the Grand Canal and hike up scenic mountains. Instead, the linguistically impaired adventurer found herself on a primitive sleeper-minibus where sleep was out of the question; perched atop a tiny mule on a remote mountain pass; and attempting a dubious ferry ride down the Yangtze River. Polly was getting to know China in a way she’d never expected–and would never, ever forget. From battling six-year-olds in kung-fu class to discovering Starbucks in Hangzhou, Polly relives her Asian adventure with humor, enthusiasm, frustration, and determination. Whether she’s viewing the embalmed cadaver of Chairman Mao or drinking yak-butter tea, this is Polly’s eye-opening account of a culture torn between stunning modern architecture and often bizarre ancient mysteries…and of her attempt to solve the ultimate gastronomic conundrum: how exactly does one eat a soft-fried egg with chopsticks

Download or read book Mad Dogs and an Englishwoman written by Polly Evans and published by Delta. This book was released on 2009-01-27 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polly Evans had a mission: to learn everything possible about the howling, tail-wagging world of sled dogs. Fool’s errand? Or the adventure of a lifetime? The intrepid world traveler was about to find out. In the dead of winter, Polly Evans ventured to Canada’s far northwest, where temperatures plunge to minus forty and the sun rises for just a few hours each day. But though she was prepared for the cold, she never anticipated how profoundly she’d be affected by that blissful and austere place. In a pristine landscape patrolled by wolves and caribou, the wannabe musher was soon learning the ropes of arctic dogsledding, careening across the silent tundra with her own team of yapping, leaping canines. Shivering but undaunted, Polly follows the tracks of the legendary Yukon Quest, a dogsledding race more arduous than the Iditarod, witnessing a life-and-death spectacle she’ll never forget. Along the way she makes a stop at the Santa Clause house in North Pole, Alaska (where the post office delivers unstamped mail), and witnesses the astonishing northern lights weaving green and red across the sky. And before the snows melt in spring, Polly will have discovered a deep affection for the loving, mischievous huskies whose courage and enthusiasm escort her through the delights and dangers of living life at the extreme—in one of the most forbidding places on earth.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Polly Evans was a woman with a mission. Before the traditional New Zealand male hung up his sheep shears for good, Polly wanted to see this vanishing species with her own eyes. Venturing into the land of giant kauri trees and smaller kiwi birds, she explores the country once inhabited by fierce Maori who carved their enemies’ bones into cutlery, bushwhacking pioneers, and gold miners who lit their pipes with banknotes—and comes face-to-face with their surprisingly tame descendants. So what had become of the mighty Kiwi warrior? As Polly tears through the countryside at seventy-five miles an hour, she attempts to solve this mystery while pub-crawling in Hokitika, scaling the Southern Alps, and enduring a hair-raising stay in a mining town where the earth has been known to swallow houses whole. And as she chronicles the thrills and travails of her extraordinary odyssey, Polly’s search for the elusive Kiwi comes full circle—teaching her some hilarious and surprising lessons about motorcycles, modern civilization, and men.

Download or read book MEMOIRS OF THE MEI RIVER written by Li Yunqi and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoirs of Mei River chronicles the life of Chu Huainan, a protagonist whose youth was shaped by revolutionary ideals fueled by dissatisfaction with the Kuomintang's corruption. Believing in a utopian vision of socialist public ownership, Chu Huainan endures decades of political upheavals, witnessing the rise and fall of state-owned enterprises and the unexpected success of private businesses in Mei River. The narrative weaves through historical movements such as land reform, the Anti-Rightist Movement, the Cultural Revolution, and the reform era, reflecting the complexities of societal changes in 20th-century China. The story explores the paradoxes of Chu Huainan's personal life, from family tragedies to ideological conflicts, all set against the backdrop of China's rapid economic development. As Mei River prospers, Chu Huainan confronts the widening wealth gap and questions the efficacy of his lifelong commitment to ideals like public ownership and revolution. The novel delves into the struggles of belief systems, posing profound inquiries about equity, revolution, and the inherent injustices of those in power. Chu Huainan's tumultuous journey, mirroring China's 20th-century challenges, raises broader philosophical questions about humanity's search for meaning and values. The novel prompts readers to reflect on the futility of rigid belief systems in solving the multifaceted problems of human existence, leaving Chu Huainan in a state of confusion and existential questioning. Through his personal and political tribulations, the novel explores themes of benevolence, righteousness, and tolerance as enduring values necessary for navigating the complexities of life.

Download or read book Chop Fry Watch Learn Fu Pei mei and the Making of Modern Chinese Food written by Michelle T. King and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spirited new history of Chinese food told through an account of the remarkable life of Fu Pei-mei, the woman who brought Chinese cooking to the world. In 1949, a young Chinese housewife arrived in Taiwan and transformed herself from a novice to a natural in the kitchen. She launched a career as a cookbook author and television cooking instructor that would last four decades. Years later, in America, flipping through her mother’s copies of Fu Pei-mei’s Chinese cookbooks, historian Michelle T. King discovered more than the recipes to meals of her childhood. She found, in Fu’s story and in her food, a vivid portal to another time, when a generation of middle-class, female home cooks navigated the tremendous postwar transformations taking place across the world. In Chop Fry Watch Learn, King weaves together stories from her own family and contemporary oral history to present a remarkable argument for how understanding the story of Fu’s life enables us to see Chinese food as both an inheritance of tradition and a truly modern creation, influenced by the historical phenomena of the postwar era. These include a dramatic increase in the number of women working outside the home, a new proliferation of mass media, the arrival of innovative kitchen tools, and the shifting diplomatic fortunes of China and Taiwan. King reveals how and why, for audiences in Taiwan and around the world, Fu became the ultimate culinary touchstone: the figure against whom all other cooking authorities were measured. And Fu’s legacy continues. Her cookbooks have become beloved emblems of cultural memory, passed from parent to child, wherever diasporic Chinese have landed. Informed by the voices of fans across generations, King illuminates the story of Chinese food from the inside: at home, around the family dinner table. The result is a revelatory work, a rich banquet of past and present tastes that will resonate deeply for all of us looking for our histories in the kitchen.
