How exquisite! I love pretty food! Sharing! 🙂

The cookie is one of the best cookies made on Deepavali by our Hindu families I think it is their national dish yea it looks like a pick rose but I do not know its taste. Actually is Anglo Indian cookie but is famous among the Indian during Deepavali festival and among the Christians during Christmas. It is made on the pattern on the Christmas fruit cake.

I think it will be delicious in taste.

Noodles are fun food. I don’t usually eat breakfast. (Usually not hungry when I wake up.) But if these were served, I’d make an exception.

Since this is a breakfast item, do they have restaurants where they serve “Breakfast All Day” in China like we do in America?

Wow! I’ll try this one on my breakfast just to spice things a bit!

When I was a kid, like about 7 to 8 years, I was always involve in most of the house chores I can’t even do today am grown.
When I was of that age, my mother would come back from the market, I would leave everything I was doing, carry her bags, look for what to cook and start preparing them. When she came to the kitchen, she would be happy that her work has been done a bit. She will just do the cooking.
Then I never mind if my siblings were doing anything. I took pleasure doing it alone just to gain my parents praises.
On Saturday morning then, I will sweep the house, scrub the floor, scrub the kitchen floor, fetch water and do other things without complaining. I learnt a whole lot when I was a kid. Although I don’t do them any longer now because my siblings are all grown now,I still know how to do them with ease.
But some of my friends then didn’t bother to help their parents, they just relax and their parents did everything for them and give them food as well.
In most cases, most parents take their children so special and employ made to work for their children. They do not want anything to their children but indirectly they are harming their children to the core. When their children grow to adult, they will be very lazy and still expect maids to come work for them.
The very importance of household chores to children is to enable them know how to do things and also how to be independent when on their own.
If a child is being served by a maid always, he would be very dirty especially if he stays 1 to 2 weeks away from homes. Why?
Because he wouldn’t know how to work his clothes, take his bath, brush his teeth and other things.
The children when grown will suffer humiliation from the laughter of their mates especially when they are unable to do what their mates are doing.
This tags them the weekend vessels by their friends.

Yes, children at make mischief and that is why the children must keep must with work at home so that they could use their energies positively and it whelps the children in coming years.

I used many of these easy activities as a way to keep the older kids busy when I was pregnant with Louis. I had been thinking about how in the world am I going to preoccupy the kids when the baby needs to be fed, or changed, or just needs all the attention that a baby needs!

Which is why I was on a mission to find lots of activities for keeping kids busy with minimal effort on my part. I had tried all sorts of activities but fail.

Use these tricks to keep busy your children as
Measuring Cups. Simply a set of measuring cups can come in handy! Throw them in a bowl with some big spoons and they can mix something up for you!

Pots & Pans. Along the same lines as the measuring cups, pots and pans are great too! Let them mix and match the lids or stir something up for dinner.

Plastic Cups. Leftover plastic cups from a birthday party (or two or three)? Just hand a stack to your toddler. They’ll find something to do with them.

Pipe Cleaners. Add a colander or a strainer of some sort with big enough holes to fit pipe cleaners through and let your child poke the pipe cleaners through the holes. You could also use a spice container with large enough holes to fit the pipe cleaners through!

Tupperware. Let your toddler raid your Tupperware drawer. Stacking up the bowls will be fun enough, but they can even match up lids to their counterparts. And then take them apart and start over again

Research shows that children learn in many ways about family relationships and how their family functions. Being involved in household chores is one way they can learn.

When children contribute to family life, it also helps them feel competent and responsible. Sharing housework can minimize stress in a family. Getting kids involved in chores helps the family work better.

Funny post though. But in my opinion I think the men are more superior in most aspect and women are superior in few aspect.
In most aspect in the sense that from creation man has been made the superior by God.
Being superior simply means being at higher authority and when you look at today’s world, men are taking lead.
In some continents like Africa and Asia where women have limited right to authorities, political power and other public things. Men are also superior in the sense that they are the reason why the world grows in population via reproduction though women play also a role in reproduction but they never can do it without the men unless she’s the next Virgin Mary. Among the number of scientists in the world at large, the men take lead.
If there are ten scientists, 9 are men and 1 is a lady. Therefore the scientific growth of the world we are in today is being made possible by men. This justifies their superiority over women.
Let’s come over to family issues, the men in most part of the world contribute immensely to their families, they provide food, pay children’s school fees and bear the consequences of the children’s misdeeds. This justifies their superiority also.
There shouldn’t be an argument over these because it is crystal clear that men are far more superior than ladies.
No debate should be involved.

First correction in the bible the word MAN does not imply MEN it means men and women as a whole, people should not get that wrong for those who may think otherwise. Then I like the way you have explained about the woman I do wish all men would think like you, but minds vary. It is true that women do most of th3 things in this world. They give birth, they take care of the child, they run the house, and so many other things. But we cannot say that they are superior to the guys or the guys are superior, even though it’s said that the man is the head of the house that does not make home superior either in the bible we are all equal in the eyes of God.he alone is superior and above everyone and everything.@ezenwa if I can just say something about your comment, in Africa men behave like that are superior but the truth is when they do things all they think about is themselves that are very egoistic and that are greedy. A man would never want a woman to look better than him so he would rather do things to put her down so that she feels frustrated, or they will discourage her in all ways so that she feels she cannot do certain things. And all this is brought about by the man feeling threatened by the ladies. And sometimes greed will make a man do things and earn material stuff for him to feel superior so we cannot say that the superiority comes from within, it comes from what they have.

My friend , none is superior between man and women. Woman is a positive force and man is negative force, along with it I tell you woman means, positive and man means negative. Now think one negative the other positive now tell who is superior, man or woman. Actually in case of man and woman man and woman both the essential parts of each other. When such be the case no one becomes superior both are part and parcel of each other. The Bible story of Adam and Eve is misunderstood there is not a single line in the all the holy books woman is superior or man superior. Woman is more superior due to having the power of creation all human being spring from the womb of woman,

I conclude that no one is superior but both are part and parcel of each other. We may compare man with woman as we compare gold with silver.

In my opinion this topic/question is outdated for men and women are equal. And both men and women can shine it doesn’t depend our your gender, but on the individuel. I’m not ashamed to admit that there are women that can do something (stereotype considered manly) beter than me. Like there are probably women that can kick my behind.

Men and women are equal in my opinion. Yes there are certain things men can’t do that women can do and there are also things that women can’t do that men do but that doesn’t mean men and women are not equal. Everyone is good at different things that how life is but putting a gender above another is not how today’s society work. Yes the Bible says the man is the head of the household but today there are women that are the head of their house hold and that doesn’t make neither more superior than the other.

It is obnoxious to take up a discussion on this topic in these modern days. This is meant for oldies who can take up such topic for a discussion.

This is not relevant to drag the inferences from Bible making it unchaste.

One thing is accepted that because Man was created first by the God does not mean that he is superior. It gives him only seniority. The woman was created latter means she is a junior. Their potentials and efficiencies in carrying out things may be different. It is for this reason that in every religion it will be observed that a wife should be younger than a husband. This has got both scientific and psychological validity also.

One more point for observation is that all religions have got both male deities and female deities. They are all worshiped. Is there any religion which has got and dominated by only male Gods?

We should also see that this gender discrimination is not existing among the Gods even.

The male God, if worshiped by a female will definitely please and bless her. Similarly, a female deity if worshiped by a male will bless him and fulfill all his desires.

Thus both are equally affectionate and bless their children with impartiality.

I was also told that chewing gum builds up confidence. If you’re nervous, you chew gum.

My friend you have given most important pieces of information about chewing gum that can help the readers. Really awful.

Wow,thats just awsome good information .I like chewing gum from my child hold but i didnt know the benefits of that.i like it specially i am in the ground playing cricket it release my tension because.I always keep 3,4 in my pocket.

Thanks for sharing this, it made me decided to get the chewing gum, but the one on rack is too sweet, I afraid they contains too many sugar.
I just realized that chewing gum can have so many benefits other than as a breathe fresherner.
Other benefits are very make sense too, like it can help to clean our teeth to reduce teeth decay, and make us awake. I personally need sweet or chewing gum during a long and boring meeting for avoid from falling into sleep.
But, I am a bit skeptical on it can help on weigh loss. As mentioned earlier, the chewing gum here are quite sweet, thus take a lot might cause high in sugar level.
So, I would suggest to take fresh fruits as snack for instead if really really feel like wanna to take something.

The points on the benefits of chewing gum are quite interesting. I am really trying to stop smoking . But I am unable to. I actually want to go for e-cigarettes. But people advised me not to go for them as they are merely waste. So I am searching for a better method to dispense with the smoking.

There are some valid points for argument in favor of chewing gum. But how it helps in weightloss is not clear. Of course the weightloss has nothing to do with my case. So I want to give a try .

I love chewing gum every so often will you find me chewing gum. I find it a lot of fun but the only problem is that sometimes I get bloated when I chew find but to avoid that I won’t chew a fun for too long I will give myself a break at some point to give my teeth a rest. The above benefits are true the only thing that am not aware of is that it makes someone become hungry. Maybe it’s because I don’t chew long enough to feel hungry.

Chewing gum is enjoyable especially to people that know how to chew it but if you are chewing, be mindful of the disadvantages.
I am a chewing gum freak.i can chew gum for up to 10 to 15 hours a day. What prolongs my chewing gum hours is my skills. What I enjoy most is the sound I make with it and the bubble I form with it . but everything is now in the past cos I have lost my two molar teeth that enhances my enjoyment.
After a day of long hours of chewing gum comes a night of headache. I only have to sleep in order to gain my consciousness. Sometimes the headache last for a very long time. But this doesn’t stop me from chewing more gum. As soon as the headache vanishes, I go back chewing gum and I even chew gum with the headache intact. I manage cos of the addiction.
But now my two molar teeth has been removed, I just hope am gonna afford to chew gum. For the past 3 months, I have never chew gum, something that has never happened in half a decade.
But wellshall my dear I love your post very much cos at least people will know that chewing gum is not just all about keeping your mouth busy. It will make the bad breathed guys to know that good scent chewing gum could change their breadth for the main Time.
Chewing gum is good but don’t chew like I did cos If you do I pity your teeth. Lolllllllll.
Nice post

chewing gum relieves anxiety and relaxes you when your nervous–which I agree..some also good for your teeth or course and cant hurt to keep good breath.

I agree with you what you said.In my openion to write a good article you must be a good writer to be very honest most of us has no experience how to write properly i myself in a learning process.This is first site i started writing and i am feeling so good about that.I see many post here are written very efficiently.I would love to write in that way but it will take time.

By practice you can make it better and even perfect it as long as you have the patience to overcome boredom, to disregard timidity or of being reluctant because of the tedious work of writing and writing. As a beginner you have to undergo series of trial and error attempts. You may even feel insulted for the harsh comment of your readers. It would come to the point that you will be frustrated. Don’t worry. You could overcome those challenges.

To make your writing better couldn’t be actually done by writing alone. You have to research, read good posts or articles. Study the style of the writer. Adopt yourself to his manner of writing, in expressing the thoughts, the events, or whatever in the form of writing. Have a group of associates or friends to read your works. Encourage them to give suggestions. Or by asking a question if they do answer right, that means you have expressed well in your write-up.

yes. you have explained in a simple way about the writing of Articles. This is the fundamental aspect of writing an Article. For writing any article one should be a writer and writer is one who plays with the words and sentence construction. The expression differs from writer to writer. Just seeing the article one can easily guess the writer of an Article. This is an inherent property and quality of a writer.

This is also known by formatting. Whatever may be the type of writing or style fo expression one should follow th basic formatting. A writer will by virtue of his experience will get it automatically.

Nowadays I am seeing some sites which are totally different and there is a clear deviation to be observed in the basic formatting. But the effect of the Article entirely depends on the writer how
he develops the Article and how he concludes. One will be thrilled to read such Articles.

I think as a writer any essay, article , poem, drama, novel…each of the literary articles must have an beginning, a middle and end with solid arguments what the writer want to prove in the article.The main art of writing an article is the the issue must one of the international issues that could appeal the whole readers. The writer must know that specific articles are read by the specific readers.

The nest point the main thing of any writer is his style and imagery must be unique and easy to understand. There are six kinds of literature: poetry, drama, novel, short stories, essay…choose any type for writing according to you trends.

Yes you have given really a very nice recipe for dry chicken to make at home and its ingredients are available everywhere in all cities and its method of cooking is easy. Thanks for giving a nice recipe.

Wow! This picture really tempting, with the white sesame on the top make it even smelling.
I can take two bowl of white rice with this curry chicken if this dish is served at home.
I like to buy the wet curry paste from the wet market at the Indian stalls as the India hawkers sell a lot of spicy ingredient here. They able to mix the spicy ingredient well, either for curry mutton, curry chicken, etc. Thus, we have to tell clearly when purchase.

The article is giving a good recipe for dry chicken curry. A good article.
But this is unfortunate that the dry curry paste and wet curry paste are now available in the malls also. Earlier people were preparing the dry curry paste and wet curry paste at home with proper taste suitable for all members of the family. They were avoiding such ready made stuff.

Until 5 years these were not available in the malls. But now everything has entered into the market.

They are not good at all. The dry curry paste is not at all good in taste. The dry curry paste is giving a sometimes bad smell. We have to be very careful in selecting the wet curry paste also.

There are certain shops in India were the dry curry paste and wet curry paste is prepared on the spot mixing the necessary ingredients as per our requirement with the readily available stuff. These shops are located adjacent to most of the chicken shops. One can purchase a good chicken and get the curry paste whether wet or dry prepared there and then itself.

I will try it and come back to you!

This is very useful information you have provieded. We love to eat spicy food,Indian and Pakistanis are love eating spicy food and fry food with a little bit spicy or some people like more spicy.

Here’s the story with me and curry. When I attended the University of Miami, there was a Chinese Jamaican who lived in the apartment above mine. Almost every day you could smell good food that he was cooking up. One day I just had to ask. “What’s for dinner?” He said: “Curry chicken.” Never got a chance to taste it. We didn’t know each other that well so he didn’t invite me in. It’s OK. I could tell by the smell it had to be delicious!

Fast forward, married with kids, and looking a way to make curry chicken and found this pre-packed chicken curry paste. Took at home and tried it. It was amazing!

These days my hubby wants the curry spice, not in paste form, but as a powder, in practically all of his dishes. It’s cool.

Curry was not a spice my late mother had in her kitchen cabinet. Glad to have been introduced to this spice later on in my life though. 🙂 I love spicy food.

Dry chicken curry is delicious in eating I have eaten one day at my friend’s home I enjoyed the curry really I cooked at my home the next day but could not make. The thick curry has ingredients like curry powder, tomato, ghee and onion with chicken. Lemon juice and coconut is sprinkled to make it dry.

Ingredients:

60 gms ghee
2 Onion (Pyaj)s, thinly sliced
2 clove (laung)s garlic (lasan), thinly sliced
2 tblsp curry powder
1 tblsp tomato (tamatar) paste
1 1/2 kg chicken pieces

How to make dry chicken curry:

Meld ghee in a frying pan, sauté onions and garlic until onions is tender.
Add curry powder and tomato paste, sauté 3 minutes.
Add chicken pieces, mix well, cover, simmer for about 45 minutes or until chicken is tender.
Add lemon juice and coconut, which will absorb any excess gravy.
Note: The pan must be continually watched, as the contents may stick. If this happens, add just sufficient water to prevent it

You have totally nailed this one. Reminds me of a programme that I used to watch when I was younger called the Nanny. It was a very educators programme that taught a lot about young kids and their parents at times they would also bring in teenagers who he e issues without parents, and this taught quite a few tricks and tips on how to handle a child in your care. I must say all the things that you have mentioned ar3 the things that the Nanny teaches about. When you are saying no to a child it’s always necessary to get to the child’s level and explain to him or her in a form yet living way and time that what they did was not right and also teach them to say sorry. That’s so nice. And yes sometimes it’s good to let a child just cry all they want but never compromise with your child otherwise they will learn to take advantage of you. Always show them that you are th3 one in control and that they should know they ar3 not the ones who should be telling you what to do. Thanks for sharing very informative.

try to say to them Yes instead

try to not punish them

try to find another way to tell them yes instead of no and stay calm

Well,I agree with you.You have written a very good article.I experienced this in my house hhhhh. Its a very hard to control a growing child specially in early age.Where he doesn’t listen to you whatever you will tell him but i have seen many kids they don’t do things which can disturb you and they listen to you what ever you ask them.I think parents plays an important role in that .I you guide your child good he will listen to you whatever you wil tell him,But if you didn’t guide him that this is good or bad,Then he will not listen to you even when he become adult.

If your child insist on doing something that you think he’s not supposed to do. If he insists on eating and touching what he’s not meant to touch or eat, there are tactics that should be used on them to concur with your own decision. Yes, like in the article, children are always curious to know what going to happen if he does this or that, they are just like scientists.
When I visited my anty who had a son of 3 to 4 years, my anty was always finding a whole lot of problem in convincing her son to concur to her no. My anty will want to watch a movie, but the boy wouldn’t want her to watch the movie, he will be disturbing her to put the film he wants. The most funny part is he’s always with the film he wanted the mother to put for him. My anty knowing that she can’t do what he wishes will find another interesting toy to distract him from seeing the movie. Sometimes they guy concur to the distraction while sometimes he will keep insisting. But if he insists to the extent of crying, my anty wouldn’t heed to him but will result in making him cry and sending him into the room. When we came out to eat most times, he carried his provisions and brought it to the mother signifying to her that he wants to take the provision for breakfast.my anty always found a way to make him eat the food she cooked. She will distract him and hide the provision. When the baby turns to stake the provisions, he wouldn’t see it, he would keep quiet. My anty for one day had never concurred to her son’s No.

Your experience is true but all the children say NO at home at every talk they do not learn what other activities parents do at home in leisure time. There are a few children who do when be negative trends on child birth more active my one of the nephews does so the same exactly at home. Your tips are useful for the children childhood upbringing. I appreciate your tips.

I still recalled those sweet memory with my kids when they were toddlers. They were very cute when they were the cutie pie but annoying when they keep saying “NO!”
My kids never practise this style during their toddlers period maybe I never ask Yes or No question. I assumed they didn’t understand what’s the meaning of “No” and just didn’t bother them. Were I a bad mum in this case? I have no idea too. Haha!

Kids can be so cunning and annoying at the same time, but you cannot afford to be mad at your toddler because it’s going to be your loss. Your kid may have annoyed and will still go I to do what they like to do and even forget that they annoyed you at some point. So like your saying that when you tell a child no always be stern and follow that no with action that way they will know that what they did it what they want to do is wrong. That way they will not rpeat the same mistake knowing that they will be purnished for any mistake that they make. A lot of the times kids will always want to do or say something just to see how the parent will react. And if you react harshly then they would think you don’t love them but a form answer will make things so much better.

Looks very tempting and yummy when dinner time is approaching now. It seems very easy to prepared with the soy bean paste. I might give a try in the future when I lazy to cook few dishes for dinner or lunch, just one pot is good enough to be served,and I can come back here very quickly! Hehe!
