The education of diet life is accumulated from daily life. Even though I am far away from my childhood, I will still remember my favorite home cooking when I was a child. Even though I am far away from home, I will still think of the pimple on the street next door. This story is a nutritionist's life experience, telling everyone how "food education" is accumulated from life.

When I was a child, my grandmother would make simple snacks in the afternoon, sometimes a knot in one's heart and sometimes fried dumplings. Fried dumpling is a kind of flour product. Don't cut off the head and tail of a noodle, cut it like a railing, and then turn around. It's fried in a pan and tastes crisp.

After going to kindergarten, grandma's health is getting worse and worse. My parents will take grandma to the hospital from time to time. I want to help my busy mother. In the big class, I stood in front of the sink with a chair to wash rice and cook.

Grandma sometimes misses her family and her dead grandfather. Whenever she gets angry, my father will take our family to the Diamond Building upstairs in Tainan Far East Department Store for tea.

After middle school, I will go home from school and see if there are any dishes in the refrigerator. If I have time, I will take the money I have saved and go to the dusk market at the intersection to buy a spoonful of vegetables or spinach, two corns, or a cabbage. At five o'clock, when my mother comes back from work on a motorcycle, I will order directly. There will be my favorite dishes in lunch tomorrow.

You have to cook for yourself when you graduate from the sixth grade. The teacher announced the ingredients in advance. I remember a Wu Guoyu. Dad told me that before the pot is hot, clean it with two slices of ginger, then fry the ginger slices with oil, and finally put the dried fish in. The seasonings are soy sauce, rice wine, sugar and vinegar.

There was no rice wine when camping, so I used ginger slices to remove the fishy smell and cooked fish with sauce to taste. It was very delicious. I remember that I fried fish skin that day, but I was quickly divided by my classmates.

Grandma died in the sixth grade. During those days in the general ward, she wanted to eat boiled eggs, but at that time she had cirrhosis. The doctor told her not to eat too many eggs, so I put them in the drawer and didn't give them to her. The eggs I put in the drawer later attracted fruit flies. That boiled egg is my biggest regret for grandma.

Now I am a good wife and a good mother. My husband's trousers have lost their buttons and legs. Every year, I sew and make famous brands on children's clothes or Halloween costumes and schoolbags in kindergarten alone. I'm not particularly wise. I'm just reliving my childhood with my grandmother.

Working in a nursing home in a hospital, I plan to feed my grandparents. Every week, there will be noodles and rice noodle soup on the table in turn. Grandparents from other provinces couldn't get used to the snacks on the table, so I asked the kitchen to help them make zits or fried cakes with shredded pork. It's not that I'm particularly considerate, I just remember grandma's favorite taste.

Later, he was particularly tolerant of patients with liver cirrhosis. When they have no appetite, I always let them eat whatever they want, a spoonful of ice cream, two mouthfuls of chicken soup and even a bite of pickles with porridge. I'll let the patients eat as long as they want. No matter how much you eat, you won't exceed the dietary limit.

At present, spinach and Qingjiang cuisine often appear on my dining table. Children like to eat scrambled eggs with corn as much as I do. Sometimes the fish is cooked to the end, and the sweet and sour fish sometimes turns into boiled fish with white wine and lemon, or boiled fish with fruit tea and lemon. I try to recall the taste of childhood and then turn it into a dish on the table.

In recent years, someone asked me, "Teacher, what is food education? 」

I think diet education is "the education of eating life". Not from textbooks, pictures or lectures. It is the accumulation of eating every day, and it is a lasting memory, even if you really encounter dementia.
