《藍山之旅》__ 鄧偉燊
我輩畢業班同學，五十週年聚會遊福建時，晚間在廈門酒店大堂傾談中，振聲同學建議來個2017年的同學小聚。這個小聚行之有素，在2003年十月四日，定貽應耀國邀請，到安省Ottawa相聚，連同佐行、錦源、偉燊及配偶，一行八人，揭開第一次小聚序幕。翌年，耀國再作馮婦，安排第二次聚會，參加者十六眾。當年適逢其會，渥太華市正舉行狂想曲節日，是故《rhapsody》名稱由此而生。閱讀全文

夫妻肺片
徇眾要求，附上夫妻肺片故事與制作方法，以供同好。
相傳清末年間，四川成都皇城附近，乃少數民族聚居地，這些少數民族信奉回教，主食牛羊，以內臟為不潔，全部扔掉。
有一對夫婦，正苦沒事可做，在堆積的內臟中，撿獲白嫩的牛肚、淡紅的牛舌，放入鍋煮熟，再配以夫妻精心搭配的辣椒油、味精、上等醬油和鮮美見稱的麻辣，炮制出這後世傳誦的美食。
這個由棄廢內臟挑選出來的美食，開始時稱其為 [廢片]，由夫婦合作而成，故前面冠以 [夫妻] 二字，成為 [夫妻廢片]，而後隨著食客日益，廢片二字不雅，便改為成都人盡皆知的一道 [夫妻肺片]。
這度菜有牛舌、牛心、牛肚、牛頭皮、後來又加上牛肉，但始終就是沒有牛肺。所以食客在品嚐時，不要認為這 [肺片] 就是牛肺片，祇是因緣巧合，造成名不副實而已。
後更有饕客在品嚐後讚道 – 肺片非肺、味中有味、麻辣鮮香味長； 夫妻好合，滋味調和，天長地久情深。 美哉夫妻，快哉肺片。 Continue reading

| Remarks: LCBO comment – letting the grapes hang on the wine adds to the sweetness of this beguiling Riesling. But there is a fine natural acidity to balance the sugars.
