SWE 149 He's The G.O.A.T. 

春秋时期，宋国有一个农夫，他性子很急，他担心自己田里的禾苗长不高，就天天到田边去看。可是，一连好几天过去了，禾苗一点儿也没有往上长。他在田边焦急地转来转去，自言自语地说:“我得想个办法帮助它们长高。”

有一天，他终于想出了办法，急忙奔到田里, 把禾苗一棵棵地往上拔, 从大清早一直忙到太阳落山，累得筋疲力尽。他回到家里气喘吁吁地说:“今天可把我累坏了，但力气总算没白费, 禾苗都长高了一大截。”

他儿子一听，心想居然还有这样的好事，连忙跑到田边去看，却只见满田的秧苗都枯死了。

这就是成语“拔苗助长”的由来，后人用它来比喻不管事物的发展变化规则，急于求成，只会将事情弄糟。

SWE 143 How I saved $1000 yesterday

Tacos are a favorite dish for many people, but making the perfect taco takes a little more than just throwing ingredients together.

So here are a few easy tips to help you create delicious tacos every time!

Choose the right tortillas
MasterChef judge and Mexican cuisine expert Aarón Sánchez says there are three important elements to making the perfect taco — the tortilla, the fillings, and the toppings.

You should choose what kind of tortilla to use depending on what kinds of fillings you have, Sánchez told Tasting Table.

If your filling "has fur or is meat," you should use flour tortillas, because they're thicker and won't rip as easily. For all other, lighter fillings, like vegetables or beans, a corn tortilla is best.

Traditional Mexican tacos are almost always made with soft tortillas — not the hard shells that have become popular in America.

Use two tortillas for each taco
If you've ever ordered from a taco truck, you might have noticed that there are two tortilla wraps around your taco. This is to keep the taco together. If one of the tortillas rips or breaks, your fillings won't fall out and make a mess!

Add something pickled
Sánchez adds pickled food to his tacos, to add a bright, tangy taste that balances out the rich meat and cheese.

And it's easy to make your own pickled toppings! Take any leftover vegetables you have, put them in a mix of equal parts water and vinegar, add some sugar, salt and spices, then put it all in a sealed jar. After a day or two, you'll have your own fresh pickled vegetables!

Spread your toppings early
If you like sour cream or guacamole on your tacos, instead of putting them on top of your finished taco, try spreading them on your tortilla before you wrap it. This helps hold the fillings in place, and ensures that you get sour cream or guacamole with every bite!
