I love Spinach as it is a leafy vegetable. It is rich in taste and having good iron content. It is good to eat Spinach just boiling and frying it in in coconut oil. It gives immediate relief to the muscle pain. Whenever I visit any Punjabi Restaurant in Hyderabad I order two kulchas (masala) along with Spinach curry. Actually, the people suffering from Arthritis should avoid Spinach. But, when it is combined with Coconut oil and a dish is prepared it will be proved very beneficial for the problem.

The dish you have written an article is containing some Tofu also. So it generates heat in the body and anybody suffering from Arthritis should be very careful in using this dish. Others, can without any second thought welcome this dish. It will be great in taste also.

Love green leafy vegetables. The darker the green, the better. Mustard greens are on my faves list.

This looks so good, and I have been searching for some new recipes

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.

Well! This one is no different than any other reality series but Leaving aside the cynicsm atleast it helped shaped a few careers and inspiring many more.

We all have gifts just as you have said. And we all have to nurture them accordingly. Like when a child is born, they grow up, knowing or loving something, and when the parents see this they are supposed to motivate the child through what they like, and this way the child would grow up getting better at what they do. And when the parents show interest in what the child loves, the child is going to put in more effort and work harder at what they do.

Gift is the peace of mind and heart but the gift given by other any good [performance is pure encouragement for future work. Gift has more importance in life than any other thing in life. Gift giving is something that should not be a chore.

It must come from the heart. When you give gifts, you are giving something willingly without wanting something in return. Making someone feel special is more than enough reason to make you give more. It tells the receiver that you were thinking about them.

Gift giving is an act of self-gratification. It is a good way of strengthening relationships. If you are in a friendship or a relationship, you should always show the other person how much you care for him or her. You don’t need to wait for an occasion in order to give a gift. Give one to show how much you love someone

There are some instances when you need to give back to someone who has helped you or provided you a favor. Gift giving is an act that can show that you are thankful. Giving and receiving is the purest of reasons to give gifts. The receiver will truly feel your gratitude when you give gifts for elevating happiness and well being.

The import of advocating cannot be overemphasized. It is needed for good governance to be achieved. It is the scale the balances the society. I sometimes call it constructive criticism. When it judiciously utilized it shape an ideal society. It is a tool for checkmating erring leadership.My believe is that a society that is devoid of sincere and thorough advocators is not an ideal society.

I have seen different colors of lentils but never black.

yes it is healthy and tasty too, though a bit heavy on the stomach.

This time technology is abused by bad elements. yes true, it is so beneficial and never be taken for any criminal activity. It seems human beings want to explore the unknowns thru computers and internet.Many crimes soar anywhere in the world because of technology.I can no longer describe how they disregard the beauty of mother earth that produces wealth and health to man.

Cybersecurity is the body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access. In a computing context, the term security implies cybersecurity.

One of the most problematic elements of cybersecurity is the quickly and constantly evolving nature of security risks. The traditional approach has been to focus most resources on the most crucial system components and protect against the biggest known threats, which necessitated leaving some less important system components undefended and some less dangerous risks not protected against.

Such an approach is insufficient in the current environment. Adam Vincent, CTO-public sector at Layer 7 Technologies (a security services provider to federal agencies including Defense Department organizations), describes the problem:

To deal with the current environment, advisory organizations are promoting a more proactive and adaptive approach. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), for example, recently issued updated guidelines in its risk assessment framework that recommended a shift toward continuous monitoring and real-time assessments.

that’s something we all must keep in mind and practice, be optimistic

Concentration is the key to success in every branch of life and peace of mind and soul lies in both of them. When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the people and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory

There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. …

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.

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). 🙂

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.

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…

Oh..again a non-veg dish. I totally dislike the smell of a fish. This is not my topic to make a comment as I am purely a vegetarian. Thanks. Pls. leave me from the discussion.

They just want to know that your are there for them

S hurting child will sometimes be very quiet, and not really say anything just in case he is told that he is being too petty about some issues. When a child is hurt that will always throw tantrums others will get aimlessly just like you have mentioned above. And that can be very annoying trying to stop that child from crying can be a huge mess. But the best way is to show them that you are attentive to them. It’s not really about what you will give them but just your time would change everything. Time is very essential most people take it for granted they don’t spend much time with their children’s making their kids feel vulnerable and neglected and that’s why they will always get and throw tantrums.

In my case when a child is hurt I check what the issue is and then treat the child accordingly. I do not like to treat the child with kid gloves always. Sometimes it is needed to be done but many other times I explain them why they are crying and when they will stop crying and how they can help themselves in the situation.

I see many grown children also crying nowadays. For very minor issues. I feel they have been turned into delicate darling’s by there parents by showering too much of love and affection and also by being overprotective. This sort of a thing will never help the child and will turn out to be a problem when they grow as adults. An interesting article giving information on how to handle different children with varied mentalities. Best wishes.

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.

I have not tasted it still but I will try to taste it soon making at home with the help of my cousin. Ingredients:

2 tsp light soy sauce
½ tsp salt
½ tsp sugar
½ tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp cornflour / corn starch
½ tsp chicken powder / chicken bouillon

Mix pork mince with marinade. Stir in the prawn, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, wood ears. Cover and chill in fridge for about 20 minutes, or until you’re ready to wrap dumplings.
Put a heaped spoon of fillings in the middle of a wrapper. Damp the wrapper around the fillings and seal the filling tightly, leaving the wrapper edges loosely. No need to make it perfect. Just make sure the fillings won’t leak out while boiling. Repeat this step to finish wrapping with the remaining fillings.
