    This is similar to Korean famous noodles known as “Jajangmyeon (자장면; 짜장면; jjajangmyeon” but locally we called it “Black pepper Noodles”

    • Your family must be truly blessed with the type of dishes you churn out for them. This recipe is one such. Not many would cook such varieties as you do. Kudos to you.

    • This is my all-time fave and I never fail to have it when I visit Swensen’s. That is by far the best Black Pepper Seafood Spaghetti I’ve ever had. Oh well, it isn’t a common dish that can be found in most pasta places so not many for me to compare with. But still, I think Swensen’s rendition is really good. Just thinking about it makes me drool……

      Black pepper sauce, teriyaki sauce, sweet and sour sauce, thai sweet chilli sauce are some of my fave sauces. Mr Tan always says that I’m eating the sauce more than the food itself. I like to think that the sauce makes the food even more delish!

      This is very similar to Black Pepper Seafood Udon, just that I’m using spaghetti and didn’t add in any eggs to it. Also cut down on the sauces to make it a little less fattening (trying to deceive myself). I love both dishes so they’ll be taking turns to show up at my dinner table. 🙂

      Ingredients
      – 100 strands of spaghetti
      – 4 button mushrooms
      – 6 green prawn cutlets
      – 2 crabsticks
      – 1 tablespoon of olive oil
      – 3 stalks of corriander (because I love them!)

      Sauce
      – 2 tablespoons of Lee Kum Kee Black Pepper Sauce
      – 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
      – 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
      – 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil
      – 1/2 tablespoon of Shaoxing Wine (optional)
      – 1 tablespoon of black pepper
      – 1 teaspoon of sugar
      – 1 teaspoon of Knorr chicken powder
      – 100ml of water
      *Combine all together in a bowl

      Directions
      1. Fill a pan with water, add in some salt and bring it to boil
      2. Cook spaghetti for about 7 – 11 minutes or until al dente (follow the instructions on the package)
      3. Remove cooked spaghetti from pan and set aside
      4. Heat olive oil in pan
      5. Add mushrooms, prawns and crabsticks and stir-fry till cooked
      6. Stir in combined sauce into pan
      7. Add spaghetti back into pan and mix well with the ingredients and sauce
      8. Serve and garnish with my fave corriander!

    • Black pepper (Piper nigrum), as you know, is considered as an all-purpose seasoning of the universe. In fact, it is regarded as the world’s most traded spice.

      Recently, several three-star restaurants in Europe, especially at the state of Monaco, have been using this seasoning. It became very popular because of its ability to enhance the flavors of dishes and make it more appetizing.

      In recent years, research studies show that black pepper contains potent substances that possess healing prowess.

      Indeed, black pepper has been used by the ancients in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Chinese must have vital reasons in using black pepper as a medicinal herb. Piperine, an alkaloid that gives the sharp and pungent taste of black pepper is responsible for its many health benefits.

      Here are some of the most beneficial health effects of black pepper:

      improves blood circulation
      promotes mental clarity
      improves digestion
      it is both an anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial
      it is a good source of manganese, iron, and chromium
      improves the body’s ability to absorb vitamins and nutrients from foods
      helps treat fatigue and tiredness
      stimulates appetite
      lowers blood pressure

      Now, the use of black pepper is booming in many restaurants in Europe. Black pepper is so widely used as it can be applied on almost all kinds of delicacies such as cakes, meats, fish, spaghettis, pickles, dressings, soups, and so on. You just name it and black pepper will give a unique special aroma and taste to your meals.

    • I found it very easy to bond with my newborns. Maintaining that bond as they got older, especially when they made it into their teen years? WOW! Super hard! The outside influences are like monsters!

      • Treathyl
        Yes I agree with you that when our kids become teens, it is harder to bond the relationship, different opinion and ideas

        When they are young, it is easier to get them listen to us and lots of hugs, kisses, when they are older, they push us away from hugs and kisses

    • Nature bonds a mother and the baby. It is a natural instinct. Just look how a baby behaves even the moment it is born. It will give out its first cry. It will smile. It knows how to suck the milk. The list is endless.

    • That’s a lot of food right there that pregnant women should not take, I am even lost for words what else is there left to eat? I know vegetables is a must, literally all the foods that are not supposed to be eaten have been mentioned above I don’t think I can add up anything else. or maybe chilies are pregnant women allowed to have spiced food with chilies, take wine after food, maybe that one should also be talked about because there are people like me who like spiced food and that could cause problems for me when I get pregnant could you kindly expound on this, it would help quite a lot to know. Thanks for sharing the information.

    • These would be some very good tips for pregnant women and they would benefit a lot from these.
      I am also sharing these ahead.

    • nice tips for pregnant women

    • Pregnancy is such a funny thing, yes i agree that our baby is what we eat. But sometime during pregnancy your baby decides what you can and cannot eat. I remember when I was pregnant I couldn’t eat meat none at all throughout my entire pregnancy. I craved vegetables and salty foods and if I even tried eating meat my stomach would get upset and I would have terrible vomiting. Even simply having a glass of water was hard for me, as I would throw up whenever I tried having a drink. Every woman have different experience and it seems to me like the baby has its own appetite while inside of the womb.

    Your memory may gradually failed you and your concentration power may decline sharply.

    • Living alone does not mean they have no activity. It is the activity that often connects with other people that can enliven loneliness and thus keep Alzheimer’s disease away.

    • I think that progressive mental deterioration that can occur in middle or old age, due to generalized degeneration of the brain. It is the commonest cause of premature senility.

      Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.

      Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging, although the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer’s are 65 and older. But Alzheimer’s is not just a disease of old age. Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early onset Alzheimer’s (also known as younger-onset), which often appears when someone is in their 40s or 50s.

      I have read that lthough current Alzheimer’s treatments cannot stop Alzheimer’s from progressing, they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. Today, there is a worldwide effort under way to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, and prevent it from developing.

    Freelancing
    In today’s economy, it is really hard to find an office job and if at all it is available there, it might not pay an adequate amount of salary, you expect. Because of this reason, many people […]

    • Indeed, Freelancing is a great option in today’s world, where we have high cost of living, education and healthcare.

    • Virtual assistant seems a good outlet for those wanting to work at home. I could be a candidate. But how does one go about finding out who wants a virtual assistant?

    • Te be freelancer is one of the most easy and tough jobs because if your luck supports you will earn if luck does not support you will not earn is my experience in all branches of life.

      Freelancing means to have different jobs or short-term assignments or contracts with number of companies, websites, organizations, etc., without any long-term contract. The Internet has greatly expanded opportunities to earn money working as a freelancer. Approximately 10.3 million Americans work for themselves, a number that is expected to grow in the future.[1] Freelancing can be freeing, as the name suggests, as well as empowering and challenging

      Decide what type of freelance work you are committed to doing. Freelancing jobs are as broad as the work force, and you need identify what it is you want to do before you can begin to do it. View your skills as valuable resources that are worth charging and receiving pay for.[2]
      Reflect on what you’re good at. Just about every type of skill can be turned into a freelancing opportunity. Keep in mind that you’re “secondary” skills, like researching and writing, for example, can be just as useful as a specific set of skills unique to a profession (e.g., graphic designer or computer programming).

      If you know you’re a strong writer, then you could develop a freelance writing business.
      It’s very easy to believe that you don’t have the necessary skills or experience, but in fact you actually need very little experience in order to get started freelancing. Instead, believe in your abilities and focus on producing good work

    • A lot of useful information for people who would want to take the job online in the freelance mode. If one happens to be in the right place at the right at the right moment then once it clicks it will be a great way to earn from home. But whatever one does any work needs time and dedication.

      If one has the discipline and long term outlook to develop this talent it will work wonders for the persons freelancers career. But one thing is observed that such jobs are not well advertised and they are also no standard guidelines which these companies who recruit have to follow. One does not know who is a legit company and who is a fraud. A lot of research is required before taking a decision. A good article.

    • I was just thinking the other day that this is how I want to live my life. Freelance just seems like the most fitting option for me. I discovered during my internship that 9-5 isn’t my jam. I’ve already written my first book and I’m hoping that will be my start point to freelance :)

    • With the Internet being so large and growing every day, some home based business owners have often found themselves lost in a sea of larger competitors. Do your remember when you first ventured out in the Internet business world? Do you feel that all the information that you need to keep your Internet home business running effectively is getting out of hand?

      When you combine the power of the Internet and the ingenious compensation plan of many network marketing business, the average person can achieve staggering levels of financial success.

      On the other hand, lack of awareness and understanding of how a business can attain success from the Internet, can be a big obstacle to success. The Internet is fast – people expect instant gratification when doing business online and can be incredibly fickle when all they need to do is click a button to check out the competition.

      One of the biggest challenges you will have when you set up your Internet based business is that you have zero online presence. It is very crucial for you to spend the initial phase of your Internet business on establishing constant traffic to your website through various web promotion and marketing strategies.

      When starting an online business, it is vital to honestly assess the market environment and the demand for the products and services the business will provide. In fact, the Internet and the technology associated with it has opened new vistas for home based Internet business projects that once might have been considered impossible.
