Michelle and I haven’t cooked in a while so we decided to cook prawn.
12 pieces prawn
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
Rinse the prawns and leave to drain in strainer.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the butter and let it melt.
Add the garlic and fry over a low heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the prawns and cook them for 5 to 10 minutes until they turn orange.
Remove from the heat and serve.
Was that easy or what? :P
Here’s a great way of learning JSF from the JSF For Non-Believers series by Rick Hightower at IBM Developerworks.
- Clearing The FUD About JSF
- The JSF Application Lifecycle
- JSF Conversion and Validation
- JSF Component Development
Pretty good although one thing to watch out for is that you need to change the faces-config.xml from the DTD used by JSF 1.1 to the Schema used by JSF 1.2.
I recently upgraded to the latest WordPress. That in itself is a long story. For some reason, the automatic upgrade didn’t work and I had to manually upgrade. I got that done but I noticed my posts were showing weird characters like  or †or or ?. I looked it up and apparently it is a problem with character encoding. The first solution I saw is a little bit unsatisfactory so I searched some more and found the ultimate solution. I followed the instructions and, voila!, no more weird characters.
Moon Garden is a nice bed and breakfast situated in a relatively secluded area. They have a spacious graveled parking area. From the parking area, you follow a small path and enter a small gate into a lush garden. The garden has a mixed Asian and European feel.
The highlight of the place is, obviously, the moon theme. Little moons are scattered here and there: hanging from trees, in pots, etc. You can almost play find the moon or something.
In the center of the garden is the restaurant area. There’s a large dining area where you can find a fireplace (no logs nor fire, though) and a small fountain. There’s also a segregated hut or two for dining.
Just below the restaurant area are the casitas where you can spend the night. The casitas are spaced away from each other so that you can get a reasonable level of privacy and your night of serene solitude in the midst of the garden. I can just imagine how nice that would be. Maybe we’ll give the place a try one of these days.
