【Braised ribs in anka and soy sauce】
by MaomaoMom
Maomao is home, meat is necessary. I still have 5 year old Hongzao or Anka sauce (fermented sweet rice with red yeast rice) left. The colour is deep red and it smells so good. I made this dish using some of the hongzao. MaomaoDad and Maomao enjoyed this dish a lot!

Throughout the grand scheme of things you secure an A+ just for effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually lost me personally ended up being in all the details. As as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more true here. Having said that, allow me inform you what exactly did deliver the results. The text is certainly pretty engaging and this is possibly why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, even though I can easily notice the jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am not really certain of just how you seem to unite the ideas which in turn make the actual final result. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your point but trust in the foreseeable future you connect your facts better.
Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?
