    Recently, I found out that broccoli is one of the vegetable
     dish served in Chinese restaurants and at home only for 
    special occasion.

     
    Broccoli isn’t as cheap as cabbage or bean sprouts for it is
    usuall […]

    • A unique and worth cooking recipe.

    • It is a good recipe for the readers of LB and I like it most because it is easy to prepare at home. This is a simple vegetarian stir-fry that is ready to serve in less than 20 minutes, and it is also my go-to recipe for days when I feel like it’s time to cut down on the family’s meat-intake. Wonderful for days when you feel like having something healthy and light.

      The ‘hair’ of the broccoli, as my young son calls it, absorbs the tasty sauce and with every bite the deliciousness just oozes into your mouth. The carrots lend a gorgeous pop of colour to the dish while the mushrooms adds to the layered texture of it together with the crunchy broccoli and the slightly mushy carrots.

      This is a dish that could help with getting your little tyke eating his/her vegetables, if you have a particularly fussy eater, because the oyster sauce masks the ‘raw’ taste of the vegetables without taking away any of the nutrients. Serve this with a bowl of fluffy steamed rice and I guarantee you will have this platter of stir-fried goodness cleaned out real quick!

      You will need~
      – 1 head of Broccoli (cut into bite-size pieces)
      – 1 medium Carrot (cut into bite-size pieces)
      – 4 Shiitake Mushrooms (sliced)
      – 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
      – 2 tablespoons of Oyster sauce
      – 1 teaspoon of Sugar
      – 1/4 cup Water
      – 2 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
      The secret to an efficient and delicious stir-fry is in the preparation, have everything prepared in advance and set near to your cooking area and you are set. So let’s have the broccoli and carrot cut up into bite-sized pieces, the mushrooms sliced up and the garlic minced.

      I usually cut the broccoli last after everything else as the florets tend to leave a messy trail on the chopping board. Next, heat up a wok with any type of vegetable oil (I used Canola), and throw in the minced garlic and stir around until that heavenly fragrance is released, then add the vegetables.

    According to the Chinese calendar the year 2016 is considered to be the year of the monkey. I want to dedicate it to Charlie the monkey that was a regular visitor here in our vicinity. He made his presence felt by […]

    • Do these devices hurt monkeys?

      • @PEEUSH TRIKHA They are repellants. They do not hurt but as the monkeys reach the area where these devices are installed they do not feel normal and so stay away.

    • oh luckily we don’t have monkeys here around the neighborhood, only black crows and stray dogs and cats.

      Monkeys can be a nuisance when they rob food in houses.
      Maybe the repellent would work but is it pricey?

    • I never like monkeys. They do tricks I do not like. They are also smart, but their smartness is only good for monkeys like them.Those born in the year of the monkey are told to be wise in the wrong way.

      • @cely (lol) Monkeys use their smartness and for that we must compliment them and as for those who are born in the year of the monkey who nose they too could use their smartness ofcourse in the right way.

    • Monkeys make harms in the field eat the whole crops and destroy the the field with their frisk walk going here and there is bad for farmers. The government must take some drastic measure against the monkeys’ harming the field all over the world.

      I think these measures may be helpful for frightening the monkeys as To repel monkeys from large areas such as fields, parks, farms, airports and other open areas, upgrade to the Animal Scarer Cannon Gun that covers up to 1 to 5 acres!

      Ultrasonic wave causes great pain and discomfort to monkeys but does no harm to humans
      The ultrasonic waves emitted from Ultrasonic Monkey Repellent will not interfere with any electronic appliances

      Make heavy sounds that could horrify the monkeys that These nerve-crushing sounds directly penetrate their brain and nervous systems and make them uneasy and act abnormally-such as frantic jumping, stampeding which result in the voluntary repulsion against ultrasonic wave areas and monkeys find it impossible to stay in such radiated areas.

    There’s people who are so focused on what others want and their needs that they’ll forget about their own. Sometimes we’ll figure that no matter how hard we try there is somethings that will never change. Helping […]

    • The importance of life more than any other thing on earth. It is more precious than the wealth of the whole world because given once not again and again. Life is a gift of God and blessing of God on earth.

      If we see only one side of this paradox, that is, if we think only our own, personal life is important, we will feel as if we are the center of the universe, expecting the world to revolve around us. Then we will be as if we are standing alone on a mountain top, looking at things and people from a distance, separate from them. Our mind will be standing in a remote place, limited to a small space.

      But when we understand that our personal life is not something special, we will know deeply the importance of life.

      We are very old, older than can be imagined. If we cut down a tree and count its growth rings, we can determine the age of the tree. But that is its relative age; our true age cannot be fathomed in that way. True age is beyond time, beyond the limits of mind.

      At same time, we are very young, born fresh each moment. And our ageless world is also born in that same moment. What is ageless and timeless shows its other side in each moment: its active, creative, transient side, as “lightning flashes in the dark sky

    • The very essential of life is always to do God’s commandments as it was written in the bible. We must give all our trust, faith, and love in him. Trials are made to make us stronger in every bitter fall. Of course, everyone of us has our own principles, priorities, and dreams that we want to achieve in the near future. One must to hold fast to follow that dreams no matter what hidrance we will come our way. We should always gives hope for those people who had lost hope and no way to recover. To give them inspiration to stand up, to fight for there dreams no matter how impossible that dreams are. I firmly believe, if you really believe in yourself you will truly achieve. Let’s face it, poverty is the greatest foe of man not to succeed, to lose hope, to feel helpless but it is not really a hindrance but a challenge for everyone how far you can go to take your own steps, to follow your will, to have a determination and determination to succeed.

    I would say all those who are here and elsewhere on sites that demand writing would be termed as freelancers and with such definition I am a freelancer.

    Third party interference is quite common. It is best that you deal with it in the manner that is most suited even if it means asking the person to leave.

    I have not encountered this yet but my sister in law did

    She invited her younger sister and her family to stay with her since her younger sister’s house was under renovation.

     

    For a few months, they had been living there under one roof, eating, sleeping, using literally everything that her sister owned.

    @cely  All in good time I suppose. LB has yet to make strides in the world of writing sites           and hopefully once it picks up we may see some system here.

    What rating we get here has nothing to do with how   the analysers rate our blogs  but if there is quality they are bound to be viewed and LB would stand to gain once Ads appear.
