    Instant noodles are probably one of the best things I love to eat. I love to eat anything spicy, salty, stir-fried style, tom yum version – you name it, I have probably tried it! I don’t know about you, but the […]

    • I’m not familiar with this brand. But I’m happy with the brands sold in our local grocery stores. I love noodles. So quick, easy and tasty!

      • Tesco is mostly available in the UK/Ireland, if I’m not mistaken. Although I heard that they are starting to expand recently so there are some Asian countries where they decided to do a partnership with so they can sell their brands there.

        • It is possible they may be available at specialty markets here in the USA, like stores that specialize in Asian foods. Our grocers sometimes ask for suggestions. Maybe I could mention this product and they may begin to stock it. What do you think? Sound like a plan? Noodle Lovers Around the World Unite! 🙂

          • Sounds like a plan! 🙂 Although they might prefer the authentic Asian noodles from Asian distributors, too? As I mentioned, Tesco is a British grocery food chain so they just create own brand products for their cheap alternative range. And surprisingly, the demand for Asian goodies is increasing over here, too.

            • The demand for noodles must also be increasing in the USA because we now even have noodle restaurants cropping up in our neighborhood. 🙂 One of my favorite things about Asian movies is watching them eat those bowls of noodles. Every time I see a scene, I’m thinking: ‘YUM! Wish I was there!’ 🙂

    • When I first discovered noodles, at first I was skeptical about eating them because I never used to like eating spaghetti, and they looked just like spaghetti. So as time went by I tried them once and I loved the taste. and that is when I got hooked and it became my daily lunch time food when I was at work, given that it was the easiest food to prepare. But I stopped eating a lot of it when I discovered that it could be harmful to the body if taken in large amounts. Its good to have them in the house just in case of emergencies or when you don’t want to cook they can be very ideal.

      • Oh, definitely! I remember back when I was in College, I had a few classmates staying in boarding houses and lived on instant noodles because it is cheap and they don’t know how to cook! Not the healthiest way to live but I guess some really go through times like this. I also keep a few packets of instant noodles at home since I go through “lazy days” as well no matter how quick it is to prepare the meals.

    • Tesco’s new boss Dave Lewis is pulling up to a third of products off its shelves as it calls time on policy that left shoppers baffled by a choice of up to 90,000 products on their weekly shop.

      The struggling supermarket, which has lost market share to low-cost, low-choice retailers such as Lidl and Aldi, has called in outside consultants to cut back up to 30% of its products in an attempt to cut costs and make the weekly shop simpler.

      Tesco stocks up to 90,000 different products – in industry jargon, stock-keeping units or SKUs. For each big brand, every pack size and flavour is a different SKU. In air fresheners alone Tesco offers 228 different options ranging from basic own-label sprays to posher varieties that come complete with propellers or disguised as stones.

      With tomato ketchup, Tesco offers a bewildering array of 28 sauces while in Aldi there is just one ketchup in one size.

    • I don’t think our grocery stores stock any of these fruits. We are lucky to get mangoes and kiwifruit sometimes, and maybe a special on grapefruit. The one store will actually run out of carrots or lettuce some days, so it can be interesting to walk through the produce section….

    Google is quite regular in providing better stuffs with new version. So far Google has launched total 6 versions of android and last one was Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Honesty saying there are many users having […]

    • Thanks for the information. I am still using gingerbread version and now here comes android Nougat! I think I am left behind. lol. I am eyeing a phone but it is lollipop version and thats fine with me as long as the camera provides quality photos that can be shared on different social media sites.

      • Ginger bread is too old. I think this is high time for you to upgrade your phone. Yes Lollipop can still considered as new so I think it will be fine. You can go for it. As it is supporting most of the software and social sites. About camera stuff, I don’t think it is related to android version. It is depend on hardware, so you need to found good hardware if you want to have good camera. Best of luck.

    • It is good to see newer version of Android coming up, but the space and data usage requirements are a bit high on our phones.

      • What do you mean by data usage and space? I mean if we install new version of android then it will took over space of the old one. So it will not create any problem regarding space. With new version we always will have something new features and lot more. So I won’t mind using data for updating to new version of android either.

    • i m waiting for this, its boring to see my old android

      • Yes sometime it is too boring to keep one thing for so long. So even I am waiting for this thing. It is already out for many devices. But still it is not available for any of my device. I guess I have to wait for it. But hope it will not take too much time, I mean google is always fast in releasing new version and we are yet to use the old one. Lol.

    • I have use marshmallow but it is not that much changed from lollipop in look wise. Yes there are few new features with it. Let’s see if there are any changes in look wise with this latest android version.

      • Sometimes, there are minor changes which do not help much. At other times, the changes are noticeable.

        • That is true for some small updates. But if we talk about whole new android version then surely they have many more things to give. Yes visually you will not see any difference. But if you will compare their features then surely you will see many important changes for sure. I have notice this thing many time when Google update their new version. In past I was thinking that there are not much difference but I guess I was wrong.

    In life it is inevitable that we will all die at some point in our lives, even though it may be so hard to cope with the loss, we have no choice really but accept it as it is.

    I just lost my auntie because of […]

    • Even though we know we all have to die one day we just cannot accept it. Sorry to hear about your Aunt that her diabetes could not be controlled.

    • Death is a bitter fact but it is our body death not of our spirit because human spirit is immortal in heaven and on earth. Physically we die but spiritually we are live in heaven,Disease or accident are the causes of death actually men die on the fixed time written since our birth in the book of life.

      It is a fact that Human beings are totally powerless to prevent or overcome death. Our mightiest efforts to defend ourselves from the grave ultimately end in failure. Everyone dies. We can be thankful, however, that not everyone is as powerless over death as we are!

      It is logical to assume that the source of all life would also hold the keys to death. Additionally, that source would explain the whole thing to us so we can take advantage of the solution to death if we so choose. We hope that when you understand the nature of death, you’ll see the beauty and logic of the plan to overcome it.

      Death is the cessation of the connection between our mind and our body. When human that lives in heart leaves us we die.

    How ro make Chicken Afritada
     

    Chicken Afritada is a dish I have eaten and cooked a lot in the past. It is a dish that my grandmother used to make and cook for us since we were small. I am not sure where t […]

    • Wow! Love your recipe! I also love cooking at home and learn from my mom since i was a kid. Another recipe to do! Thanks for sharing.

    • It is quite easy to make and the taste is GORGEOUS! Perfectly tender chicken, delicious sauce, yummy veggies… I fried potatoes and carrots separately before adding them to the dish. For this reason they didn’t absorb the sauce and have a different texture which brings a bit of a different flavor for this meal. Total deliciousness!

      Ingredients

      2 lbs chicken drumsticks, skin on
      3-4 small potatoes, peeled and cubed
      1 carrot, chopped
      1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
      3 cloves garlic, chopped
      1 red onion, chopped
      1 (14 oz.) can tomato puree
      1 can (8 oz.) pineapple chunks, drained (reserve syrup)
      2 tablespoons soy sauce
      3 dried bay leaves
      ½ cup green peas
      salt and pepper, to taste
      6 tablespoons cooking oil, divided
      Instructions
      In a big pan over medium heat, heat 4 tablespoons of oil. Add potatoes and cook for about 1 minute. Then add carrot and cook for about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook for about 1 minute. Remove all vegetables from pan and drain on paper towels.

      Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add chicken and brown it slightly. Add the tomato puree, pineapple syrup, soy sauce, and bay leaves.

      Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is almost tender. Stir occasionally.

      Add potatoes, yellow bell pepper, carrots, and pineapple chunks and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked. Add the green peas, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes more. Serve hot. Enjoy!

    What is Tsu
    Joined a social network called Tsu, several months back. If you are good at recruiting family and friends to join the Tsunation, you might generate some fairly consistent income. However, even if you […]

    • This is a great explanation of TSU. I have heard of it but have never checked it out. It sounds like a good place to earn passive income that is not easy to find. Thanks for the information about the site.

    • However I got an update that Tsu has closed.

    • Apparently, there was an official announcement about the site closing. I left long ago, as I could see it was on a downswing. It was an interesting concept and I met some lovely people there, though.

      • The Tsu revenu-share / original content concept was a good one. If only it had worked! I also really liked the fact that you could contribute to charity organizations with ease. Plus, there was also this group called MusicHistory101 that shared really cool stuff about music history. I will miss it. 🙁

    • What is Tsu? Tsu is a social media network built, in my opinion, most similar to Facebook and was launched on October 14th, 2014. If you’ve ever used Facebook (who hasn’t?), then you’ll easily fit right in to working with Tsu, for the most part. Since launch, Tsu has welcomed stars like 50 Cent, NBA stars like Tyreke Evans and Kevin Durant, bands like Guns N Roses, NFL stars, singers and more (growing by the day).

      The main key difference when comparing the two networks is the fact that they pay their users a majority of revenue earned ( up to 90%) when users view pages and therefore, the advertisements. This key factor is, in my opinion, the reason why there was a big initial push with people sending their link everywhere and to everyone they could. This is a simplified summary of the “getting paid to socialize” concept, you can learn more about earning money in the “How do I earn money and get paid to be social?” section.

      If you are anything like me when I got my start on tsū (pronounced sue), you are likely skeptical and wondering what makes this social media network “tick” without joining.

      I found out about Tsu while I was on a family vacation to Moab, Utah when there was a massive viral push for the network on Google+. I remember sending myself a text “Research Tsu and join” to remind myself when we got back and I did just that after we got back.

      I couldn’t find much information about what the heck Tsu was and social media was flooded with “Join Tsu” links all over the freaking place with no real explanation of what the heck it was. I was frustrated as I am sure you are as well.

      I used Tsu for several weeks before writing this guide to offer my own educated input based on my research. So with that intro out of the way, let me go ahead and show you exactly what you are missing.
