Tang Yin's traditional paintings

T'ang Yin or Tang Yin, romanised (1470-1524), also known as Tang Bohu (courtesy name) was a Chinese painter, calligrapher, poet of the Ming dynasty period (1368-644) and one of the most famous painters in the history of Chinese art.
He came from a merchant family, excelled in his studies and was a pupil of the great Shen Zhou (1427-1509). 
He was a bright scholar, wrongly accused of cheating in an exam.  Unable to work for the government, he turned to poetry and art, and led him to earn a living selling his paintings.  His life story has become a part of popular lore.

These 4 painters are known traditionally as the 4 Masters of the Ming Dynasty: Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming (1470-1559), Shen Zhou and Qiu Ying (1494-1551).

Sautéed potatoes, Grandma's way

Potatoes, one of the most versatile vegetables, provide essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins (vitamin C, B6...), and minerals (potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium...). Ingredients 1 tbsp grapeseed or rapseed oil * 2 potatoes, cut into rings each, about 5 mm salt, pepper 1 garlic clove, minced herbs, finely chopped (chives, or parsley or thyme) Preparation Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they begin to brown.  The edges are crispy. Then add pepper, parsley, and stir for a few seconds. *  I'm going to stop using olive oil : first, it is more and more expensive and above all,  olive oil scams  are proliferating if it is not...
