Are you still thinking about preparing loads of meat and fish dishes for the Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner? If so, you are falling behind the times.
So that people can enjoy food that is both tasty and healthy, the Department of Health’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) invited chef Shih Chien-fa, one of Taiwan’s top ten chefs and better known as Maestro A-fa, to demonstrate how to cook six healthy New Year’s dishes, including a migao (glutinous rice cakes) dish called “Fortune comes with blooming flowers,” at Taipei’s Kai-Ping Culinary School on Dec. 22 last year.
The dishes are mostly steamed, boiled, or braised. The migao dish is served in a stuffed apple casing set off with cranberries to make it both pleasing to the eye and full of balanced, healthy ingredients.

為了讓民眾能享受美食、也吃出健康，衛生署食品藥物管理局去年十二月二十二日邀請台灣十大名廚施建發（阿發師）在台北市開平餐飲學校大展身手，示範健康年菜，包括花開富貴好米糕等六道健康年菜。
不僅以蒸、煮、燙等料理方式為主，米糕還以蘋果當作容器、蔓越莓裝飾，不僅好看、又均衡了健康成分。
食品藥物管理局局長康照洲則呼籲，民眾替家人健康把關，料理時要遵守「五要原則」，「要」洗手、「要」新鮮、「要」生熟食分開、「要」徹底加熱、「要」低溫保存。

Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed.

According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
You’re sitting in class when a classmate asks to borrow a pencil. It seems like a small favor, so you agree without hesitation. The following week, the same classmate asks to share your notes. Later, they request help with a group project. You agree each time — after all, you helped out the first time — but before you know it, it has become automatic. This scenario demonstrates the “foot-in-the-door technique,” a psychological concept that shows how agreeing to small, acceptable demands makes it easier to accept larger ones later on. The name for this strategy comes from door-to-door

Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Gig Tripping “Gig tripping” combines concerts with travel. People fly to see their favorite artists perform — usually abroad—and spend a few days sightseeing before or after the show. While die-hard fans have done this since the 1960s, the post-pandemic travel boom changed the game. Even people who aren’t superfans are now booking international concert trips because they want to make the most of travel opportunities. This trend exploded in the US, as the math makes sense. Domestic concert tickets are so costly that flying abroad for the show plus tourism expenses often matches or even beats the price
