•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

It’s an excuse to use up all those leftover veggies at the end of the week. This easily adaptable Chinese stir-fry recipe takes into account all sorts of tastes and makes good use of whatever you happen to have on hand.

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. Before you start cooking, arrange all your ingredients in bowls or on plates so that they’re ready to use. Once you begin cooking, it will all go very quickly; you won’t have time to chop or cut anything.
2. In a very large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp. (15 mL) of the vegetable oil over high heat. Add your meat choice and stir-fry for 3 or 4 minutes until just cooked through. The amount of time will depend a little on what you’re cooking. Remove to a bowl (but don’t use the bowl in which you had the raw meat unless you’ve washed it first).
3. Add remaining 1 tbsp. (15 mL) oil to the pan. Throw in onion, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Now begin to add the vegetable possibilities to the pan, beginning with the ones that take the longest to cook (carrots, broccoli stems, etc.) and ending with the ones that cook most quickly (bean sprouts, snow peas). Cook, stirring and tossing for about 2 minutes, then pour in the broth, cover the pan with a lid and let everything steam for 2 or 3 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce and cornstarch.
5. When the vegetables are tender but still quite crisp, return the meat (or whatever) to the pan, stir and add the soy sauce mixture. Continue to stir-fry for 1 or 2 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and glossy. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle the top with the extra bonus ingredient, if you’re using one.
6. Serve immediately with hot cooked rice or noodles.

How younger siblings can help

Help choose and prepare all the meat and vegetables for the recipe.
They can help add ingredients to the wok while an adult stirs.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair…

Disney is taking a new twist on the classic story of Rapunzel. So much that they’ve renamed the movie to Tangled.

Producer Roy Conli posted on Facebook about the upcoming flick, “I have some exciting news to share, and it was important to me that YOU guys – the Disney fans – hear it first. I want to tell you about Walt Disney Animation Studio’s 2010 release, Tangled. It’s a really fresh,smart take on the Rapunzel story. In our film, the infamous bandit Flynn Rider meets his match in the girl with the 70 feet of magical golden hair. We’re having a lot of fun pairing Flynn, who’s seen it all, with Rapunzel, who’s been locked away in a tower for 18 years.”

He continued, “I’m so proud of the crew working on this film – they’re doing a fantastic job creating an awesome story with great characters and a stunning world – and it’s all going to look amazing in 3D. All of us here at the studio are incredibly excited for you to see Tangled when it comes out in theaters this November.”

TELL JJJ: Are you excited for Tangled?

Your hairstyle can accentuate your natural beauty, or not. It is important to pick a hairstyle that brings out the best of your face.

Square face: If your face has a lot of hard angles, then you want a haircut that softens these lines. The best is a shoulder-length cut that is wavy, not straight. Hayden Panettiere has this sort of face and cut. She looks good with bangs, but doesn’t usually have them.

If you have a triangular face then you may have a prominent of pointy chin, like Kristen Stewart. The best look for you then is long hair cut into layers that will give it volume.

Long face: If your face is long then you will want to wear your hair curly or wavy with bangs. Taylor Swift is a good example of this look. Check her out with straight hair!

Round face: If you have a round face then you can wear your hair in just about any style. Just look at Selena and Miley! But the best cut is a long straight style that balances the roundness of their faces.
