kaylar replied to the topic Star Trek Star Wars Wars in the forum Entertainment 7 years, 7 months ago
Why I like Star Trek Better…
1) Characters
There are people in Star Trek, not just ‘icons’. We all know them. We know how they talk and think and act. And the plots are straight forward.
2) Plots
They are, as Gene Roddenberry wanted, ‘moral tales’. They may be happening in a world that doesn’t exist, but what is happening is ‘rea…[Read more]

No. The double “Wars” in the title is not a typo. There are wars going on between loyal fans of Star Trek and devotees of Star Wars. There are divided camps of loyalty and it’s a clear divide too! In fact, I wasn’t sure if I should post this but then I saw that kaylar had written a few posts about Star Trek, I figured it was safe.
I’m very ple…

I think that trend was started in France or Italy. There was bourbon and other type of win which tastes good was being offered. So those specific type of the wine were in demand in that region. I think american and british people did the marketing of wine and chocolate combo later. And they used any random wine in that combo to fill the gap. But…[Read more]

I have never thought about it before now makes perfect sense really. Here is my story i once went out with some friends not knowing i was going to be there until late. As we were just chatting away having barbequed meat, i remember my friend ordering some wine for me. I usually don’t drink much two glasses of wine can take me through the night. So…[Read more]

I like this article and what you have said is actually very true. I used to have that habit of drinking warm water until someone told me that warm water is not good for my health. But that was their opinion for me i have always known that warm water clears your system, it cuts weight and fat, i know it also does many other things which is true.…[Read more]

All those seeds you have mentioned are readily available in our country, but i cant say that i have eaten them as such. Sesame i have eaten and i love them. Then i have also eaten sunflower seeds that are really yummy. This i used to do for the fun of it really, not for the benefit of health as such because i was a child then. But right now that i…[Read more]

Here, in Bulgaria, Easter day is beginning. There was already the Orthodox festive worship.

All of those seeds make great salad toppings! Also, flax seed is good but you have to grind them and sprinkle. The seeds are also good in muffins.
@Tita
Take this seed in regular basis. You may take it as snacks by roasting, or you may use it by cooking with other veg or dal. Open the seed shell and get just the soft seed in it and have it happily.
@shivasubrahmanyam
whenever I eat pumpkin seeds, firstly, I wash it thoroughly, then dry it and lastly roast it and sprinkle spices on it and take it as a crispy snacks.
The 2nd method, I wash and dry it and take out it’s soft seed and the eat raw or cook it with other vegetable or dal.

I always drink warm water but when it gets hot most specially during summer, I love to drink the cold water. When I drink warm water, I am also adding a cucumber and lemon juice to neutralize the flavor of the water and to release the needed nutrients for our body’s immune system. It also helps in the detoxification of our body as cucumber is the…[Read more]
