We used to watch a lot of cooking shows when we had cable TV. We still watch a lot via the public television station but not as much as before. Checked and found some videos available on YouTube. Have to set aside a time to take a look. Thanks for mentioning. Love cooking shows! 🙂

I took this topic to write a Blog on because it has a different concept this time. The participants are those who are holding great positions and yet have a passion for cooking – something that will encourage others in similar positions. Cooking is mostly shunned by this category.-
Good topic choice for a blog post. Actually I think I know of an American chef who was a lawyer who decided he wanted to bake! He didn’t get his start through a competition or cooking show. He just decided he wanted to do it! His cakes were unbelievable! 🙂
-
Do you enjoy cooking or you just do it because you have no other go? I love cooking provided there is some help around to chop and clean. I love creating new recipes. 🙂
-
Do I enjoy cooking? That’s a tricky question for me. There was once a time when my kids would tell you to make sure to come by our house for traditional holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yeah! I put my best foot forward and must say my meals were pretty impressive. But now my husband has a health condition that requires me to change everything that I ever knew about cooking and create new recipes or modify my old recipes. Enjoy cooking these days? To be honest. Not so much. It’s very stressful trying to get the meals right for his dietary purposes. But I’m learning how! Because I love my husband. 🙂
-
Challenges are great no matter where we come across them. You have cooking challenges. Go for them and enjoy when you see your beloved husband relishing what you have cooked for him.

I have seen different colors of lentils but never black.
-
@Treathyl FOX
It is not as large as the image shows. And as mentioned in my Blog the polished dal is used and not the whole black lentil for making goodies.
-
-
yes it is healthy and tasty too, though a bit heavy on the stomach.
-
I have had no such issues so far. I have been eating dishes made from this lentil for years.

You are steaming them just by tying with a thread. Will they be crispy? I do not think so. They become very soft and may be not to preserve them for more than 6 hours.
-
Anything steamed is never crispy. Are idlis crispy?
-

It indeed is healthy. That turmeric and salt that is added while boiling the mackerels takes away its fishy smell.

At what stage do you add sweet corn?
Chicken corn soup is a must have dish in our home in winter and there is usually a pot in which stock is being prepared on a daily basis.
My recipe is quite similar to yours. But I make a coarse paste of sweet corn in blender and add it with shredded chicken in stock and boil thoroughly before adding cornflour paste.
Yummy, yummy.
-
I love chicken and corn soup but I’ve never made my own. You recipe seems very easy. My kids would probably like it too. Tweeted! 🙂
-
Oh I always adapt and modify recipes anyway. There are a lot of mouths in my house and when cooking I have to try to consider everybody’s palette. It’s not easy these days since my cooking has to be modified drastically due my husband’s health condition. Now when I see a recipe I like, I have to start thinking what adjustments need to be made for family members starting with the hubby and then working my down to TLT (the last teenager). 🙂
-
@Treatjul FOX 😀 That indeed is a tall order. More power to your trapeze acts.

I know only sweet corn soup I tasted it in the Hiking Chinese Restaurant. My children like it very much and offered me to taste it and then to go for ordering the soup. I selected it for me also. But the chicken part I do not know.
-
There is vegetarian soup also. Your must have been only sweet corn but that will not taste as good as chicken or crab.
-
-
It is a good recipe because soup is easy to digest and help for human health. We must make soup at home in winter to maintain heat of our body.
This is a quick and easy way to make this soup that is usually served at Chinese restaurants. For a tangy/hot flavor try this: about 3 to 4 hours before serving combine 1/4 cup vinegar and 3 finely chopped green chilies. Refrigerate until serving time and then sprinkle about a teaspoon of this on the soup. Enjoy!! Garnish with fresh scallions
My sister made this about two weeks ago and forgot to review! I used a whole cooked chicken from the deli department at the supermarket and shredded as much meat as I could while my two children attacke…

The food cooked by our mothers and grandmothers have a very unique flavour because they do most things by hand and spend ours churning out dishes. If you use homemade yogurt, ghee etc the taste and aroma of food is totally different than if you use factory made products.
Crushing garlic with pestle is so different than using a chopper and then freezing garlic in big batches. But sadly we lack time and patience so our food lacks the health qualities of our part generation.

A good sign and relief for bloggers. Some sites do not want the sustenance. They care more for earning than for stable standing. Just recently I heard from one of our colleague how the Elance is behaving with the writers and bloggers. In spite of that some people are helpless and are preferring such sites just because of lack of patience to browse and lack of self-respect. Of course, poverty is the curse for an educated. It is only some unscrupulous elements that play with their education and do business stooping down to any level. They go on writing reviews on this site as if it is distributing money freely on the streets of U.s. Further, they name this site as one of the best paying sites. How worst are these people? They are doing injustice to the very blogger community.
If the Literacy based does not fall into that category and take necessary steps as and when required I hope I will make its own mark on the Social Networking sites. Let us hope for the best.
-
This site reads our Blogs before they are aired or published. They encourage informative blogs and so far atleast they have paid. Hope this will continue.
-

I was there are BlogBourne. I already earned $5 for my first payment. I have still sufficient coins probably could earn $3 soon. I would sustain that site though I have to struggle to earn a penny. It doesn’t matter for me. I am also in several writing sites to share what I have in mind.
-
I’m glad that the site thrives and I hope it will last for a long time. it’s great to have a reliable source of online income. I haven;t been able to reach minimum so far but that’s the point where I’m heading
-
Today I earn same in here and in Blogborne and I did not make posts in none.
In Blogborne I make 7 cents and in here I make 6.
This is only comments.
The biggest today is myLot. I made 9 cents.I will not say anything about cents on any site. I see they all earn just cents.
-
@ Your Seldom Just depending on comments anywhere will take you ages to reach payout.
-
What is your opinion about ”mylot”? Do you trust the site?
-
-
I’m not in blogjourne so I cannot comment on that. But with you article but how its hard to earn on their blog, I won’t even think it now to register in that site. I’m good here in literacy base.
I was also expecting from you other sites as you insinuated in your title, but I see only blogjourne. Or maybe, you are just making the part two or part three of this post. Its nice to know some reviews from the concerned members itself.
-
Yes at least the rate is much better than BlogBourne and one can instead look for offline means rather than working for such low rates.
-
@PEEUSH TRIKHA LB is where you can write informative posts and in so doing you not only get paid you learn as writing informative posts needs research.

Some of us, having experienced the various scams and rip offs in ‘writing’ on line, knew Blogbourne was a joke and did not participate. I was extremely lucky. My item was held back for an ‘image’ and when I came to view, saw how these idiots had rewritten my article. So I deleted my article and ran.
They shouldn’t exist much longer.
As to Blogjob, I don’t know why they stopped paying save that perhaps they weren’t earning the revenue.
One must understand that unless the owners are publicising the items so that a wider audience is gained, the site will fail.

BolgBoiurne started as a social writing site but wanted a standard as one would see in hubpages and such. It will not work that way.

BB is a waste of time

There is an expression that we use about perserverance. “The race is not to the swift, but to the one who endures to the end.” The folk at BlogBourne are still online and building and growing, just like Literacy Base. Even though I am not active there, I know a few of the members and I wish them success. That may be the current rate as of now, but nobody knows what the future bold. At least they are not being dishonest and cheating people. They are telling you plainly what they are doing.
Literacy Base is also honest and straight forward. I have contacted Admin and Support and always received courteous responses, I can always check my history and see how many coins are being and what they were earned for, and can see my redeemable amount clearly.
Lbvs BB? I am more active at Literacy Base because the pay is better even though the pay out is higher. But I believe, because of my friends who are at the other site, that BlogBourne has potential to rise up. I have an account there. Now that I know some money can be earned, I may pop in from time to time to leave comments. I am still not ready to commit to supplying blog posts. Has nothing to do with their Site Admin. I’m just too lazy to write up 400 words. (O.o)
Good points made by everybody else who commented before me. 🙂

@TreathylFOX
I was at BB may be an hour ago and I noticed after that announcement which was made on lst October I saw just one blog on the main page. The highest coins that one has got there is around 8000 plus and that too after so many months which when translated to dollars it is less than 5. Any sense?There has to be some sense in the slowness of any site but this is too much.
-
The problem is very basic; originally writing sites had readers. Google and other Search Engines did not discriminate so that if you wrote an article here on Zika it would show up on a Google and people would click.
As the only people on writing sites are other writers on writing sites there is little revenue.

It seems good that the site enjoys good reputation. Hope it maintain this trend. Anyhow I am enjoying my stay here on this site.
-
What is your method of promoting your prestigious posts? What benefits do you enjoy by doing so? I want you to write a post in this connection. Hope you consider my request.
-
When I heard about the BB site I was like… hmmmm … I went there and posted and then got a message about the ‘image’. When I returned to fix the image which had to be X by Y or whatever I noticed they had changed up my item.
I took it down and ran as if pursued.
That site and the TC one turned me off at start.

Quite great uses of Gram Flour indeed!
My mother used it on us and those days they only got to know things by experience.
