I got a recipe from my cousin several weeks ago. It is a congee made from 10 different grains and it is a healthy breakfast. Today, I finally decide to buy all the ingredients. I brought the recipe to a supermarket, stood in aisle for awhile, then gave up and went home. Why? Cause I don't know what each ingredient is in English. 
I don't exactly know what some of the ingredients are. So I decide to go home and do some research online. After some surfing, I decided to pull in extra help. I asked one of my friend and she was clueless on what those grain are as well. What kind of c-9 (aka married woman) is that! 
So she searched online for a bit and pull in her rice tix (aka husband) too. After 2 geeks did some intensive research, we were still not quite sure the answer. Then I asked another friend who bought a cook dictionary recently. After more investigation and consultation, I finally got all my ingredients translated. 
Now my friend made fun of me saying that I am 五穀不分. Literally, it means that I can't distinguish the five grains but it really means that I am lack of knowledge because five grains is supposed to be very basic information. But I doubt anyone knows what the five grains are nowaday!

Can I have the translated version? Thanks
I dropped by T&T this afternoon, I found that they have the 8 kind of mixed grains. I think it should be very close to the 10 that it mentioned in your receipe. But damn, it's darn expensive, so my conclusion is, if you want to be healthy, just keep exercising. Drink more coffee though. :P
