    yes , it was indeed weird for me

    I do eat fruits, veggies, cereal , swet potatoes and pumpkins but I could not poop.

    Only morning coffee or tea could trigger my bowel movement very fast.

    So, I have it 2 days once since I can’t take it daily.

    I can’t sleep at night with daily caffeine

    I used to write about 4-6 posts a day, and sometimes more. That was in the “good (bad?) old days” before Panda. Now I tend to write longer posts and fewer of them. The effort is reduced and I get better results than if I push myself to post many times a day.

    I am still kind of in flux. I was writing about 2-4 posts a week at one point. But some…[Read more]

    Heard of Turkey and Mushroom Risotto?

    I didn’t know that Turkey and Mushroom Risotto is one of the well known rice recipe in the western countries until a  friend from Facebook had recommended me to try out he […]

    • 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.

      • thanks for your comments, I noticed that western people rarely eat tofus, fish and mushrooms, these are common ingredients used in our daily meals.
        No, you don’t eat raw mushrooms, cooked them before consume.
        Do try and let me know

    • 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.

    ( In this article, “grandmother” refers to your child’s grandmother, who is your own mother or mother-in-law)

     

     

    Grandparents can be a great help to working parents in many ways.

     

    One thing for su […]

    • 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.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Are You Bothered When Nobody Reads Your Posts 8 years, 3 months ago

    Does it really bother you when nobody reads or leave any comments on your published blog posts?

    Do you feel disappointed that your work is not being appreciated and valued by readers?

     

    My Honest […]

    • I’m not bothered if people don’t leave comments at my posts. It would bother me if my posts were not approved for publishing. If my posts can make it to public visibility, I feel like it’s a major accomplishment. When I see my writings online, I do a happy dance! YAY! 🙂

    • I got bothered once when the moderators left a comment about one of my posts. I got over it though. It doesn’t really bother me that many of my posts don’t get comments – I realize not many people here are interested in mental health topics but that is my niche so it’s what I write about. I figure someone who needs to learn about it might stumble across what I write and be helped.

    • It’s a happy feeling when people read my posts and comment. That is the whole purpose of our posting on the Net. There is also the possibility that they may read but not comment. I do that often too.

    • I think it’s only really since the advent of “social writing” that anybody really cares about interaction with their content. Most of the serious freelancers I know had long since learned not to read the comments on their most successful articles. Many comments are spam or really outrageous criticisms – often not even related to what was actually said in the article.

      A lot of people just react to the title and don’t even read the post. Plus, they can have their own agenda to push, and will willfully misinterpret the post in order to “prove” their point.

      So no, most of the writers I know don’t worry too much about comments. If there is a good conversation that gets going on a post, it’s a positive sign. But otherwise, the important thing is being content with what you’ve written and with what you’re earning for it, how it’s being presented on the site, etc.

    • The honest truth I wouldn’t feel bad, butni would feel like I have not done enough and that I should do much more than what I did.In the first place. But again instand to loose nothing I have done my bit and if you feel that my post is not good enough that’s your loss actually. It would be painful if our earnings were based on views that would just a lot of people but thank God it’s not. I can say maybe not having the key words kn blogs that could be a reason as to why i dont do blogs much. I dont understand it much so at times i really dont have what it takes yo write one. I would rather syick to my answering of questions and giving opinions where necessary.

    • You should make good use of ”inverted commas” option. This is meant to highlight the crux of the post. Do this and consider your job done as highlighting the important portion of the post will make it easy for the readers to get the main idea of the post in a couple of minutes. Hence they will find their job easy and would love commenting below your post. I do follow this tip while composing my posts and the results are good.

    • When people leave comments no one must mind it because every writer writes his own ideas and the critic writes his own ideas according to inborn abilities.

      But keep in mind just one thing that always write on the universal truth one one leave a negative comments about your post. Truth is evergreen. Always write reasonably not emotionally. Support your article with strong arguments, not with emotional arguments.

      Write on truth one leave any negative comments against your post or article. Write on the universality of love no will write negative comments but if you write about man and woman love people will criticize it according to their love experience.

      In today’s blogging world, just like most things in life, the laws of attraction works. Give your readers what they want to read, or benefits to visit your blog.

    I had been away for the last 2 weeks due to my son’s exam preparation.

    Now, I am back with more recipes to share with you since tomorrow is his last day for his final quarter term exam.

     

    For the last […]

    • Have tried a salmon dip. It is delicious!

    • Wow food looks yummy. I might request my sister to cook this recipe end of this week so that we can gather around at home during dining time.I feel hungry now.Thanks friend for sharing this fav recipe.

    • It is a great recipe but my friend Bob likes it mush because her mother used to cook for him the school going days. Preparation
      Spread the first pita bread with pesto.
      Add the smoked salmon, onion, tomatoes, capers, basil, and Provencal herbs on the pita bread.
      Cover with a generous portion of cheese. Add salt and pepper.
      Close the sandwich with a second piece of pita bread.
      Bake at 230°C (450°F), until cheese is melted. Serve.

      his is a yummy spread that’s great with crackers, or stuffed into mini pita halves for an appie. I got the recipe from a friend who sold Schneider’s Popcorn Seasonings. I tweaked it a bit for my taste by adding dried dill, parsley and cheddar. 1 hr. Cook is chill time.

      Cream together cream cheese, salmon, cheddar and seasonings until well blended.
      Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
      Keeps well in refrigerator.
      Serve in a nice bowl for spreading, or stuff into halved mini pitas.
      Serving possibilities are endless! Use your imagination!
