I feel so hungry looking at the picture of this choc cake.How nice of you having talent in cooking. I do not have talent in cooking, but my sister has and she always has money because there are many orders.This time she already has 35 advanced orders for Christmas hehehehe.I told my sissy what if the order reaches 100, and her reply was to hire additional helpers. You can also ear much of this peach.

The picture of that stuff is yummy. I have not tasted this stuff before but I pray that one of this days, I will finally try it out and see how it feels in the mouth.

More looking at it makes me want to ask you for some part of it. I hope you wouldn’t mind giving me.

It seems like you are a good cook and love it at that. That’s a lovely looking yummy cake I wish I could have a taste. It’s unfortunate that cheese here is an expensive food but I guess if I wanna try out something I could save up some money and buy some to try out your recipe coz I love cooking myself and trying out new dishes is something I like to experiment on thanks for sharing

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever tasted a cheesecake that I didn’t like. 🙂

Wow, this is quite good tips for us writers. Actually, I am so hard up in expressing myself the first time I joined literacybase. I felt so empty like I don’t have ideas in mind. That is why I only join into the forum discussions with fewer words to say. I always think that old members are all professional and me a newbie writer is not that good. However, upon reading some of the blogs and other topics created by other writers, I noticed that as you have said, it is written in the way the want. Not all is written in an essay way. That is why it gives me confident to do the way they do.

I express myself naturally. I used simple words now, unlike the past first month here in LB where I always try to look into my dictionary to add up more words that is not usually used.

Nice what a way of keeping the family in check this is wonderful. Actually truth be told many kids are really trying hard to avoid doing exercises and that is quite sad. If we look around in our homes and neighbourhoods there many children who are becoming obese because of the lifestyle that they are living. Nowadays staying home and playing computer and play stations has become the norm.Home are the days when we were asked to go play outside games like badminton, rounders (cricket)as it is called now, volleyball such like games kept the child alert and energetic. But if late this sports are loosing popularity. I do concur with you that families really need to come together and start up an exercise regime to deal with diabetes and obesity in the society

Yes lack of exercise body after sometime falls ill in some mysterious diseases unknown to the doctors. the main cause of diabetes is lack of exercise because these days children are preying to prey to diabetes. It is a very serious problem for the whole world.

Medical science has proved that exercise can help you improve your blood sugar control, boost your overall fitness, and reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. But diabetes and exercise pose unique challenges, too. To exercise safely, it’s crucial to track your blood sugar before, during and after physical activity.

There are a few ways that exercise lowers blood glucose:

Insulin sensitivity is increased, so your cells are better able to use any available insulin to take up glucose during and after activity.
When your muscles contract during activity,

it stimulates another mechanism that is completely separate of insulin. This mechanism allows your cells to take up glucose and use it for energy whether insulin is available or not.

This is really funny. I remember the time i was still small. the time of sickness,though dreaded, was always an enjoyable one. i make orders of the things i want to eat or drink and they are brought with immediate effect. but once you show any sign of recovery, you are on your own.

parents turn into jellies and soft heart when kids are sick. So this is the best time when kids could use this opportunity to make parents abide whatever they wanted.
However, when they had recovered, it was hard for them to adjust back their normal lifestyle

Sick kids will always want to have someone near them someone who will encourage them and keep them company. That’s one thing that any sick person would want just some company will make them feel well. I remember when I got sick my mum would constantly check on me, I would have my favorite meals, always listen to music whenever I wanted too, so everything happened the way I wanted because people around you feel or think that when they do stuff for you you will get better much faster. As for the medicine part my mum was very strict on that and nothing would stop her from making you take your medication. She was very harsh but after taking it she would be kind enough to give you something sweet to sweeten your mouth as she tells you that you will be better off after that.

Debated for a long time whether or not to buy a rice cooker. In the end, I got a slow cooker. It was on sale! Had no idea you could make a cake in a rice cooker. Now I’m rethinking and might just add rice cooker back to my holiday wish list again! 🙂

Great recipe- and without use of too much sophisticated equipment.

wow! The cake is really tempting,make my mouth watering. My son is asking me to bake him a cake, me still stick to the computer till today. Hehe!
Thanks for the recipe, might give a try this Sunday!
You mentioned, you bake the cake and bread for your family and neighbors for FREE?Aiyah! How I wish I stay just next to you! Haha!
As work from home mom, we should share more lazy recipe here for saving some cooking times, make cooking more time efficient, so can stay here more. Haha!

London Swiss roll? I try not to give sweets, biscuits and chocolate to my kids. However, still will prepare these kind of ready Swiss roll , but in other favour like Pandan, strawberry for the kids during travel or when they came out from the swimming pool in their swimming class.
The is the fast and most easy way that I able to think of.
Off course, I do prepare my own baked bread for them.
What to prepared for my girl during her morning school break is always make me headache. I try to make five different food for five school day per week as possible, but it is not a easy task, I would say.
I try to buy bread, make her pan cake, steam rice, fried noddles, with some fruits, like apple, orange, peer, grapes,and even nuts.
However, it is another routine the following week. Hehe!

All this could down to the parents what do they eat in the presence of their children, because what you eat is what the child would want to eat so the parents have to be the ones giving or showing a good example from the start. When kids are trained to eat healthy nothing will make them want to live the healthy living for junk food coz they know what would happen. Everything that you have shared is definitely a keeper we all went out kids to grow up healthy no one wants a child who is obese or is suffering from some kind disease.

Yes in markets there are many foods that are not suitable for kids keeping in mind kids’ health. t’s no surprise that parents might need some help understanding what it means to eat healthy. From the MyPlate food guide to the latest food fad, it can be awfully confusing.

The good news is that you don’t need a degree in nutrition to raise healthy kids. Following some basic guidelines can help you encourage your kids to eat right and maintain a healthy weight.

You decide which foods to buy and when to serve them. Though kids will pester their parents for less nutritious foods, adults should be in charge when deciding which foods are regularly stocked in the house. Kids won’t go hungry. They’ll eat what’s available in the cupboard and fridge at home. If their favorite snack isn’t all that nutritious, you can still buy it once in a while so they don’t feel deprived.

Kids need to have some say in the matter. Schedule regular meal and snack times. From the selections you offer, let them choose what to eat and how much of it they want. This may seem like a little too much freedom. But if you follow step 1, your kids will be choosing only from the foods you buy and serve.

I love risotto but I don’t make it often. I really should! This one sounds yummy, especially with the veggies added 🙂

I usually just make risotto with my usual long grain rice, because it’s inexpensive and we’re on a budget. But I love to do it with Arborio rice for a treat, once in a blue moon.

Sounds like a pretty good dish. Tasty ingredients blended together. Could make a great meal for a large family. Mushrooms are very good when cooked. Not fan of eating mushrooms raw. Really appreciate the share. The recipe sounds great. Never tried Turkey Mushroom Risotto. Certainly would be different.

You know Filipino cannot eat without the rice in the table. But few we serve in risotto. That recipe seems hard to prepared but as I look at it, the mushroom and turkey in the rice is already a mouth watering food for me.

it looks delicious

thanks for your kind comments.
yeah, I usually would write out the ingredients that are not common into my post so that readers could understand them.
Otherwise, where or how to get them and what it looks like, is a problem too

If we prepare it at home it will be delicious in eating at home with family and friends but its taste will be double if we take it on the travel and ate sitting on the car seat on e way in loneliness.
dvance preparation:You can begin up to several hours before serving. Proceed with the recipe and cook halfway through Step 3 — that is, for about 15 minutes.

The rice should still be hard when you remove it from the heat, and there should not be any liquid in the pan. Spread it in an even layer in the pan and keep it away from the heat until you resume cooking.

If the pan is not wide enough for you to spread the rice in a thin layer, transfer it to a sheet pan. Fifteen minutes before serving, bring the remaining stock back to a simmer, and reheat the rice. Resume cooking as instructed.

The best leftover dish is the first sandwich you make from what’s left of the turkey, standing barefoot in a quiet kitchen lighted only by the dim bulb above the stove: thick toast with mayo and cranberry sauce and dressing and slices of just-carved meat.

No, scratch that (though it’s delicious and you should make two or three). The best leftover recipe is risotto with turkey and wild mushrooms, the grains of rice plump with turkey broth and made nutty with cheese. The soft richness of the meal recalls Thanksgiving, then amplifies the memory, giving it a rakish flair.

I agree with you.
Here in our country, Chinese families prefer to have own mom or mother in law to care for their little ones, unless the old folks are unwilling to take care, then had to resort to Indonesian maids

Baby sitter is a tough job for the young men but old people may do this job easily. Whether you choose your mother or mother-in-law for regular babysitting or decide to hire someone else for the job, select a caregiver who is the right fit for your family and its own unique needs. If hiring Grandma isn’t in her best interest or yours, services like Urban Sitter.

Some can help you quickly and easily find a top-notch sitter who will quickly begin to feel like part of the family. And no matter whom you hire, having a clear dialogue about your expectations is the best way to tee up any babysitter-parent relationship for success.

However, there are many daily costs of caring for kids. Consider travel expenses, including the gas purchased to get to and from the job and for any carpooling of the kids, the toll the travel takes on her car, as well as taxi or public transportation costs she may incur during the day. In addition, there are plenty of meal, snack, entertainment,

There is a myth in our society that says that children who are brought up by their grandparents are spoilt. Do you believe this as well? Am sure most people would agree with me on this one. As much as we may try to assume that fact it has some truth to it. If there is anything I would not change in my life, it would be doing or taking care of my children or child the same way my mum did it. Because for starters when I look at my life I can say confidently that my mum raised me well. It’s really not about the old days or the new technologies that are coming up in our lives everyday, it’s the technique that They used to bring up kids that matters. Our parents used to be harsh but at the same time they were loving and firm. Unlike now when parents are just being harsh towards their kids and not being loving enough. They are not getting involved in their kids lives, they don’t care what the kids are doing it where they are going and that I can say is quite serious. So I feel grandparents are like the world’s saviors when it comes to taking care of their grandchildren. They have actually saved day.
