Monkey coffee

I guess this would appeal to folks who don't dare to drink Vietnam's weasel coffee as the beans are spit out from the monkey's mouth and not the weasel's bottom..XD

闖咖啡園吃果吐豆台灣獼猴咖啡 古坑新品牌

【周麗蘭/雲林報導】

  台灣獼猴肆虐,現在又多了新口味「咖啡」!古坑鄉樟湖山區近年復植台灣咖啡,咖啡果實大又甜,引來成群獼猴先賞味,吃掉果肉吐豆子,吃遍咖啡園,農民無奈之餘轉念一想,乾脆撿拾猴群吐滿地的咖啡豆,去殼後烘焙,命名為「台灣獼猴豆」,反而成為特色。

  古坑鄉樟湖村、荷苞村、華山村都是日據時代台灣咖啡產地,近年 古坑台灣咖啡聲名遠播,村民利用殘存的老咖啡株繁殖咖啡樹,賴姓農民也在樟湖村種了五十多棵,剛開始有收成,今年結實纍纍,產量特別好。

  潑猴「試吃」 咖啡豆吐滿地

  沒想到,既紅又甜的咖啡果,農民還來不及收成,就引來台灣獼猴「試吃」,吃了順口,猴群就從九月開始吃到現在,吃掉整片咖啡園;獼猴邊吃果肉,邊吐豆子,有時還含了一整口的豆子,當成彈珠噴,噴得方圓五十公尺地上都是。

  咖啡農鬥不過猴群,眼看整片咖啡園全軍覆沒,欲哭無淚,他轉知咖啡農友廖錦東,要提防台灣獼猴覬覦,廖錦東好奇前往查看,發現獼猴吐掉的咖啡豆數量驚人,從咖啡園到附近的香蕉園,到處都是剝皮的咖啡豆。

  去皮、乾淨 讓農民撿現成

  廖錦東說,他蹲了兩個多小時,就撿了二、三千顆咖啡豆,約兩公斤重。他說,台灣獼猴向來都是「造孽」的多,與當地農夫勢不兩立,但這次牠們吃了咖啡「果肉」,卻吐出了人需要的「豆子」,而且是乾淨的豆子,不必再去皮,比起人工去皮,省時省力多了。

  廖錦東表示,肆虐咖啡園的猴群,清晨五時以前就出沒,一顆一顆摘咖啡;猴群既聰明又貪心,不紅的、掉在地上的都不吃,專挑又紅又大的吃,常常塞滿了口,坐在石塊上慢慢享受,有時還一邊「嗯嗯」,一邊吐子(咖啡豆),享受得很。

  廖錦東指出,咖啡園附近就是香蕉園,簡直成了猴群的「天堂」,吃完咖啡豆就到香蕉園「巡視」,只要有成熟的香蕉,絕對等不到被人吃,有時還爬上爬下,連沒有香蕉的幼苗也被扒壞。

  自家備有咖啡烘焙機的廖錦東,有空就去撿「現成」的咖啡豆,他說雖然經過猴子的口,但咖啡豆很完整。為了做紀念,他已烘焙好了一袋,命名為「台灣獼猴豆」,招待親朋嚐嚐獨一無二的「台灣獼猴咖啡」。

Loads better than msn

I got kind of fed up with msn nowadays and I've discovered something pretty cool. Click Me! Anyone who adds http://gabbly.com/+(any website you want,eg ur blog) can chat to each other on the webpage! This is much faster than msn and is instantaneous! It works by RSS feeds and the stuff you type can be viewed by anyone else also on that webpage if he adds gabbly.com in front. So don't spill your secrets over it! But otherwise it's a cool tool =P

The beauty of a woman

This is Audrey Hepburn's favorite poem. The author is unknown.
I think the words are simple but meaningful and I'd like to share it with everyone =D
===================================================
For attractive lips,speak words of kindness
For lovely eyes,seek out the good in people
For slim figure,share your food with the hungry
For beautiful hair,let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day
For poise,walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,the figure
that she carries,or the way she combs her hairs

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes because that
is the doorway to her heart,the place where love resides

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode,but the true beauty
in a woman is reflected in her soul.It is the caring that she
lovingly gives,the passion that she shows.

That's why the beauty of a woman grows with the passing years
===============================================
No wonder I find my mom so beautiful~~~
