    • I feel so hungry looking at the picture of this choc cake.How nice of you having talent in cooking. I do not have talent in cooking, but my sister has and she always has money because there are many orders.This time she already has 35 advanced orders for Christmas hehehehe.I told my sissy what if the order reaches 100, and her reply was to hire additional helpers. You can also ear much of this peach.

    • The picture of that stuff is yummy. I have not tasted this stuff before but I pray that one of this days, I will finally try it out and see how it feels in the mouth.

      More looking at it makes me want to ask you for some part of it. I hope you wouldn’t mind giving me.

    • It seems like you are a good cook and love it at that. That’s a lovely looking yummy cake I wish I could have a taste. It’s unfortunate that cheese here is an expensive food but I guess if I wanna try out something I could save up some money and buy some to try out your recipe coz I love cooking myself and trying out new dishes is something I like to experiment on thanks for sharing

    • I honestly don’t think I’ve ever tasted a cheesecake that I didn’t like. 🙂

    • Wow, this is quite good tips for us writers. Actually, I am so hard up in expressing myself the first time I joined literacybase. I felt so empty like I don’t have ideas in mind. That is why I only join into the forum discussions with fewer words to say. I always think that old members are all professional and me a newbie writer is not that good. However, upon reading some of the blogs and other topics created by other writers, I noticed that as you have said, it is written in the way the want. Not all is written in an essay way. That is why it gives me confident to do the way they do.

      I express myself naturally. I used simple words now, unlike the past first month here in LB where I always try to look into my dictionary to add up more words that is not usually used.

    Childhood obesity is rising over the years, starting from tender early age, toddlers and school age children.

    • Nice what a way of keeping the family in check this is wonderful. Actually truth be told many kids are really trying hard to avoid doing exercises and that is quite sad. If we look around in our homes and neighbourhoods there many children who are becoming obese because of the lifestyle that they are living. Nowadays staying home and playing computer and play stations has become the norm.Home are the days when we were asked to go play outside games like badminton, rounders (cricket)as it is called now, volleyball such like games kept the child alert and energetic. But if late this sports are loosing popularity. I do concur with you that families really need to come together and start up an exercise regime to deal with diabetes and obesity in the society

    • Yes lack of exercise body after sometime falls ill in some mysterious diseases unknown to the doctors. the main cause of diabetes is lack of exercise because these days children are preying to prey to diabetes. It is a very serious problem for the whole world.

      Medical science has proved that exercise can help you improve your blood sugar control, boost your overall fitness, and reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. But diabetes and exercise pose unique challenges, too. To exercise safely, it’s crucial to track your blood sugar before, during and after physical activity.

      There are a few ways that exercise lowers blood glucose:

      Insulin sensitivity is increased, so your cells are better able to use any available insulin to take up glucose during and after activity.
      When your muscles contract during activity,

      it stimulates another mechanism that is completely separate of insulin. This mechanism allows your cells to take up glucose and use it for energy whether insulin is available or not.

    When a child is down with a cold, fever, cough or diarrhea, it is a a natural for him to be in a bad, foul mood for days or weeks.

     

    His unhappiness is as “contagious” as his sickness, it is “spreadable” […]

    • This is really funny. I remember the time i was still small. the time of sickness,though dreaded, was always an enjoyable one. i make orders of the things i want to eat or drink and they are brought with immediate effect. but once you show any sign of recovery, you are on your own.

    • parents turn into jellies and soft heart when kids are sick. So this is the best time when kids could use this opportunity to make parents abide whatever they wanted.
      However, when they had recovered, it was hard for them to adjust back their normal lifestyle

    • Sick kids will always want to have someone near them someone who will encourage them and keep them company. That’s one thing that any sick person would want just some company will make them feel well. I remember when I got sick my mum would constantly check on me, I would have my favorite meals, always listen to music whenever I wanted too, so everything happened the way I wanted because people around you feel or think that when they do stuff for you you will get better much faster. As for the medicine part my mum was very strict on that and nothing would stop her from making you take your medication. She was very harsh but after taking it she would be kind enough to give you something sweet to sweeten your mouth as she tells you that you will be better off after that.

    • Debated for a long time whether or not to buy a rice cooker. In the end, I got a slow cooker. It was on sale! Had no idea you could make a cake in a rice cooker. Now I’m rethinking and might just add rice cooker back to my holiday wish list again! 🙂

      • slow cooker is great for stew and soups, but for a cake, you need a rice cooker or an oven or microwave oven.
        I had used rice cooker since I need it for cooking rice too.
        No worries at all

    • Great recipe- and without use of too much sophisticated equipment.

    • wow! The cake is really tempting,make my mouth watering. My son is asking me to bake him a cake, me still stick to the computer till today. Hehe!

    Children’s’ diet is deteriorating everyday.

    Not only in America but the whole world is invaded with bad foods which are unhealthy for kids.

    It is indeed the sad that the manufacturers and big companies are […]

    • London Swiss roll? I try not to give sweets, biscuits and chocolate to my kids. However, still will prepare these kind of ready Swiss roll , but in other favour like Pandan, strawberry for the kids during travel or when they came out from the swimming pool in their swimming class.
      The is the fast and most easy way that I able to think of.
      Off course, I do prepare my own baked bread for them.
      What to prepared for my girl during her morning school break is always make me headache. I try to make five different food for five school day per week as possible, but it is not a easy task, I would say.
      I try to buy bread, make her pan cake, steam rice, fried noddles, with some fruits, like apple, orange, peer, grapes,and even nuts.
      However, it is another routine the following week. Hehe!

    • All this could down to the parents what do they eat in the presence of their children, because what you eat is what the child would want to eat so the parents have to be the ones giving or showing a good example from the start. When kids are trained to eat healthy nothing will make them want to live the healthy living for junk food coz they know what would happen. Everything that you have shared is definitely a keeper we all went out kids to grow up healthy no one wants a child who is obese or is suffering from some kind disease.

    • Yes in markets there are many foods that are not suitable for kids keeping in mind kids’ health. t’s no surprise that parents might need some help understanding what it means to eat healthy. From the MyPlate food guide to the latest food fad, it can be awfully confusing.

      The good news is that you don’t need a degree in nutrition to raise healthy kids. Following some basic guidelines can help you encourage your kids to eat right and maintain a healthy weight.

      You decide which foods to buy and when to serve them. Though kids will pester their parents for less nutritious foods, adults should be in charge when deciding which foods are regularly stocked in the house. Kids won’t go hungry. They’ll eat what’s available in the cupboard and fridge at home. If their favorite snack isn’t all that nutritious, you can still buy it once in a while so they don’t feel deprived.

      Kids need to have some say in the matter. Schedule regular meal and snack times. From the selections you offer, let them choose what to eat and how much of it they want. This may seem like a little too much freedom. But if you follow step 1, your kids will be choosing only from the foods you buy and serve.

    • 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.

    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. It could be reviews of the latest technology or the hottest gossip in town or even controversies, depending on your blog type! On my web hosting blog, I always share great web hosting deals

    • 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!
