    Glad to be back here again!

    It is time to introduce my next recipe which is a vegetarian dish,
     Stir Fry Water Spinach with Firm Tofu.

    Water Spinach is locally known as “Kangkong” among the Malay
    wh […]

    • 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.

    The thing that makes a person a good friend is being loyal to the people around you and being friendly. Many people think that being friendly is only about being good to your friends and family but it actually means being good to your enemies as well that is what makes a good friend. You have no limits or boundaries when it comes to people and…[Read more]

    When a child is hurt, it is a natural instinct that he wanted to be comforted by his parents and grandparents immediately.

    In contrast, parents and grandparents themselves, wanted to shower the child their […]

    • 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.

      1 packet dumpling wrappers, for soup
      1.5 liter chicken stock, homemade or store-bought
      2 to 3 stalks baby bok choy
      spring onion, diced, for garnish
      sesame oil, to taste
      salt, for cleansing the prawn meat
      corn flour, for cleansing the prawn meat
      Fillings:
      250 gm pork mince
      160 gm prawn meat
      3 shiitake mushrooms, soaked and shredded
      30 gm bamboo shoots, frozen or canned, blanched in hot water then shredded
      20 gm wood ears, blanched in hot water then shredded
      Marinade:
      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
      1 egg white
      white pepper, to taste
      sesame oil, to taste

      Method:

      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.
      Bring the chicken stock to a boil over high heat in a pot.
      In the meantime, carefully put dumplings into another large pot of boiling water over high heat. Stir the water with chopsticks in order to avoid the dumplings stick to the bottom. When the dumplings float to the water surface. Immediately transfer them into the chicken stock. Add bok choy and cook for a while. Season with salt. Sprinkle spring onion and sesame oil.

    How much exercise is enough?

    • Those are good tips. Lifestyle that has movement could keep one healthy.

    • What you mention here are very informative especially to those people who keep on complaining about their body weight, sick, and their hobby is just sitting and watching television or internet at their home.

      In my case, though I am not so active now but my physical exercise include running (morning or afternoon)and biking. During the height of my running, I do it even 5 times a week. Biking now is my favorite exercise. Its good feeling when you do it.

    • Exercise is most essential part of human life if no exercise means a walking hospital. n other words, exercise aims to maintain or enhance our physical fitness and general health. People exercise for many different reasons. Some of them are included below:

      Benefits of Exercise in Daily Life

      Strengthens the muscles that are involved in respiration – exercises facilitate the flow of air in and out of the lungs
      Strengthens and enlarges the heart muscle – this improves aerobic conditioning – pumping of blood and the heart rate (lowers the pulse of a person when they are resting)
      Tones muscles throughout most of the body
      Reduces blood pressure
      Improves circulation
      Raises the number of red blood cells, in turn facilitating transportation of oxygen
      The sleep quality of insomnia patients can improve with moderate exercise, a study found
      Improves mental health
      A study found that exercise reduces migraine suffering
      Reduces the risk of heart disease and cardiovascular problems
      Helps improve survival rates of patients with cardiovascular diseases significantly, as researchers found
      Stimulates bone growth (high impact aerobic exercise), reduces risk of osteoporosis
      Increases stamina or endurance – aerobic activity increases the body’s ability to store energy molecules such as fats and carbohydrates within the muscle
      Increases blood flow through muscles
      Improves muscles’ ability to use fats during exercise, thus preserving the intramuscular glycogen.

      We all human being must make exercise daily at least 30 to 45 minutes to maintain health for future life and old age. No walk, no exercise in life is injurious to health.

    • I have far too many bottles plastic and glass. I use some and the rest are just disposed of.

    • Number 4! Genius! I never thought to do that with old calendars. What a good idea! 🙂

    • These are all great ideas. Tins, jars, plastic bottles etc can be used in a myriad of ways.

    • Great Ideas. Things at home are probably of many used, only if we know how to utilized them. Aside from those that is being discussed, I want to include the following things:

      BUTTONS. If you have only two attractive buttons, make them into a pair of earrings. If you have four attractive buttons, make them into a pair of cufflinks, chain-stitching a cord between each pair.

      CALENDAR PICTURES. Enamel shabby wastebaskets and paste on calendar pictures for new decor. (Scenic ads and posters can also he used.) Shellac over the pictures for longer wearing and washability.

      CANDLE STUBS. For corking bottles when you’ve lost the cork, soften a candle stub so that it fits the neck of the bottle. Candle stubs also make excellent fire starters. Candle stubs can be saved and melted together and made into new candles, using old bottles or milk cartons as molds. Also, candle stubs can be melted and poured directly onto paint in a half-used can of paint so that the paint will remain airtight and soft.

      CAN KEYS. Save an occasional key from coffee or sardine cans, as you’re bound, sooner or later, to come across one that has no key. Can keys also provide an economical way to use toothpaste, winding from the bottom of the tube!
