Outstanding Teen enters state competition

She’s a junior at Scripps Ranch High School. She spends 23 hours a week training as a competitive gymnast, is greatly involved with her local church and enjoys forensic science and art courses at school. Oh, and she’s Miss San Diego’s Outstanding Teen.

Katherine Chicca, or “Katie” for short, took home the title on Jan. 19 at the 2019 Miss San Diego Competition. The competition required her to display a talent, do a personal interview with the judges, answer an on-stage question and show a certain level of fitness.

“It was really amazing to win,” Katie said. “I don’t really know how to describe it.”

While the competition’s winners are granted scholarship money, their title also includes a responsibility to progress a charity platform throughout the year. For Katie, the cause at hand is the United Nations International Children’s Education Fund (UNICEF), an international organization focused on children’s rights. Katie’s mother, Barbara Chicca, said this year-long service commitment will include work with UNICEF as well as contributions to other service efforts in San Diego.

A year of service atop the high schooler’s already hectic schedule certainly keeps Katie busy. However, her mom said she’s hardly concerned.

“I think, in a lot of ways, they’re good life skills for her,” Barbara said. “Our lives don’t really change much as we age. We get busy, so you have to learn how to juggle your time and manage your priorities. This is good training for that.”

As a junior in high school, Katie will be gearing up for graduation soon enough. Her aspirations are big, as she said she is hoping to attend college on the East Coast, possibly in Boston.

However, the Miss California competition in June comes much sooner on Katie’s agenda, and preparation is already in full swing.

“I’m working with some of my coaches from gymnastics and pageant directors to choreograph a routine to fit the stage at (the state competition) and I’m working on interview practice with other girls who have done pageants,” Katie said.

In the meantime, Barbara said she is a proud mom and that she’s happy to keep up with the hustle.

“I do a lot of driving,” she joked.

  6. 螺蛳粉第一次買螺螄粉怎麼選？好歡螺、李子柒、螺霸王、臭寶口味一次看懂

    第一次買螺螄粉，面對好歡螺、李子柒、螺霸王、臭寶等品牌，很容易不知道怎麼選。其實可以直接按照辣度、酸筍味和湯底濃度來挑。

    好歡螺：口味最多

    好歡螺是很受歡迎的螺螄粉品牌，選擇也比較豐富。

    紫色原味屬於經典款，湯底濃郁，酸筍、腐竹、花生等配料完整。

    喜歡重口味，可以選加辣加臭400g；如果第一次吃，黃色原味400g會更容易接受。

    另外還有小龍蝦味、香菜味和油豆腐版，適合想嘗試不同口味的人。

    李子柒：湯底濃郁

    李子柒螺螄粉整體味道比較均衡，酸、辣、鮮都比較明顯，配料也很豐富。

    普通款適合大多數人，喜歡更辣、更濃的，可以選加辣加臭400g或霸道濃湯410g。

    螺霸王：經典穩定

    螺霸王經典原味330g比較接近傳統柳州風味，不追求特別辣或特別臭。

    湯底、酸筍和米粉搭配比較均衡，適合平時經常吃螺螄粉的人囤貨。

    臭寶：適合重口味

    臭寶的特色比較明顯，例如濃湯、臭豆腐等口味。

    如果本身就喜歡臭豆腐、濃湯或比較刺激的味道，可以嘗試臭寶。第一次吃螺螄粉的人，建議先從普通原味開始。

    第一次吃怎麼選？

    第一次嘗試，可以優先選好歡螺黃色原味、紫色原味、李子柒經典款或螺霸王經典原味。

    如果已經習慣螺螄粉的味道，可以再嘗試加辣加臭、濃湯、小龍蝦、香菜或臭豆腐口味。

    螺螄粉怎麼煮更好吃？

    先把米粉煮到合適的軟硬度，再加入湯包、酸筍和其他配料。

    不能吃太辣的人，辣油先放三分之一到一半。還可以加入青菜、雞蛋、火腿、油豆腐或牛肉丸，讓一包速食螺螄粉變得更加豐富。

    螺螄粉的魅力就在於不同品牌、不同口味差異很大。有人喜歡濃郁，有人喜歡酸辣，也有人專門追求加臭加辣。找到最適合自己口味的那一款，才是最重要的。
