Just come back from the New Year's Party from Jimmy's home tonight. Last night, we went to Phoebe's home for a New Year's party. Had no time to post about the two parties.
We had great ham/salad and chicken wings in Phoebe's home last night. We played the "Wits and Wagers" game with Stephen, Mike, and Phoebe. That's the first time we played this game with friends and they all love this funny trivia game. A Chinese version would definitely be entertaining.
We had discussed about the "Food, Inc" documentary. Seemed this documentary may have affected a lot of people's eating habit with meat.
I had studied the "Canadian Health Guide" this afternoon in Chapters, especially the nutrition chapter. It explains the fat, protein, sugar and their effect and food. I am clear now about the saturated and non-saturated fat. The trans-fat is rare in nature food. It is a product of hydrogenate with non-saturated fat to make it more flow and stable in processed food, such as deep fried food. Saturated fat is not good as it will increase the level of cholesterol, especially the LDL, which is "bad" for heart and artery. Monononsaturated fat will lower the LDL, so it is good. Olive oil, sesame oil, and peanut oil contains more monononsaturated fat. Olive oil is especially good as it contains antioxidant, which makes it the most healthy fat. Polynonsaturated fat as also good, why? (Don't remember)
We went to Jimmy's place for another party with alumni. We had discussed a lot of topics covering Economy, China, Stock, Business. It's fun to have a smaller alumni gathering so that we can have more intensive discussion. They have prepared a lot of food. I had eaten too much. :-(
