    • I love fried rice especially the chao fan of Chowking though sometimes I cook my own version of fried rice at home. I have not known the ginger for fried rice and as I read the article, I was given the idea to use it in my future recipe. I just hope the kids would like it because of its spicy taste.

    • My Japanese friend introduced me to ginger. I have never regretted it. 🙂

    What do you do when you are down and out?
    Everyone has a time when he may feel stressed out due to

     family matters, job related problems and st […]

    • Very good suggestions indeed- could be hard to implement but can be real stress busters.

    • Maybe procrastination will help you as long as you do it to set goals that you would want to achieve or reach. But if you set and makes you just lazy, never do it. And the number 6 which is declutter, I think not always. I have once talked to a boss who’s table are always messy because of too many papers and things above it, but he said “do you know why this table is messy, that means I am always working.” That is true, when the table is organize and very clean, we can say the boss is not working because its always clean.

    • Usually when am feeling down I like to listen to music it helps me quite a lot. Never underestimate th3 power of music, however said that it speaks to the heart was not wrong it is very true. Just listening to the music that you like can boost you up at anytime. Then there is also the thought of being positive with oneself. Declaring to oneself that you are able and annoited will do magic. You wont6even know how positive that will keep you going.When we keep speaking negative things and thinking negative thoughts we don’t do ourselves any favor other than put ourselves down, making us feel unworthy, unwanted and useless. Another thing is to always be around people who make a difference in your life, do stuff that makes you happy. If it means going out meeting up with friend will keep you away from stress than at all means do that.

    • Go fishing

    • Good advice. Also, if you have memories of a time when you had an abundance of energy and bounced out of bed each day and conquered the world … try to remember. 🙂 Say to yourself: “I did it once. I can do it again!” 🙂

    • Your tips and advice are inspiring especially the one about music. I do not listen that much to music but I do enjoy a good up beat tune once in a while. But putting on music when I am blue or depressed never occurred to me. I wonder why? Oh well, now I know what to do when the self-doubt, the self-negativity etc creep in, I can always rely on a good tune to cheer me up. I have to admit that I rarely procrastinate. I am always cleaning and decluttering my place. I hate having a messy surrounding. That also helps me but not for long usually.
      By the way, very good article, very well written and informative and entertaining.

    • @peach purple, I am feeling down now,I want to change my email add and I wrote the admin last night, but got no reply. The yahoo mail that I presented here is not pay pal connect.The first time I applied here they did not accept my email pay pal affiliated and now the problem comes for I cannot redeem. My email add here is not affiliated with pay pal. Do you know how to remedy this problem? Thank you sis.

    • When I’m down I appreciate the little things like physical and mental health. Afterward I decided to eat anything to get my mind off what’s bringing me down. If all else fails I begin to exercise and that surely takes the brain off of whatever I was thinking about because I’m too busy trying to stop sweating.

    • Very inspiring. I do struggle with keeping my head up. Its very difficult being in a small apartment by yourself while your husband is at work all the time. I love the fact that you included music in this post. Music has helped so much. It gets rid of the loneliness and the silence.

    • In times I felt down, sometimes I cannot control myself from setting in one corner thinking so deep. I am focussing on the problem and thinking what is best to do and it really depressed me.

      However, I agree with you that we need to stay in a happy mood so what I usually do is to listen to my favorite country music or pop music. It can turn my mind into positive thoughts rather than think of what makes me sad.

      Listening to music probably a good tip to have a good and happy mood despite downfall.

    Snoring is not a small matter to be laugh at, making jokes
     about it would hurt the snorer feelings and pride.
     
    Calling […]

    • Those are quite a number of things or tips to follow so that you avoid snoring. I don’t know how effective they ar3, because I think when you ar3 tired it’s very easy for you to snore. Whether you ha e the above things or not it’s inevitable Anyway the only thing that I have tried is to stop sleeping in your back that will help. Putting your back suspended could cause more snoring instead of stopping it. The next time I hear anyone close to me snoring I will try your methods and see how it all goes.

    • What you have mentioned here really helps but I think there is now a machine or gadget to use that is so effective it does really help. Snoring, I have also experienced this, twice in my life that I encountered two people (in different venue) who have really a very loud snoring. The exaggeration of snoring like a horn of ship, maybe its not. Its really so loud that you can hear it even 10 meters away. I cannot sleep at those occasions. Snoring problem was never really a joke to those people concerned.

    • An interesting and informative to get rid of snoring habit. Problem to health which can arise due to snoring are also clearly mentioned. This is generally found among those people who sleep with their mouth open or have some problem related to ENT. It affects the overall health and well being of the individual. It also disturbs the sleeping pattern which is required for the individual to remain healthy and it also disturbs the sleeping of your partner or others who may be sleeping with you. Thus spoiling their health too.

      Now a days solutions are available to this problem- sleep apnea. The sooner people having problem to snoring visit a doctor the better it is for their health as their being healthy is crucial to them and also for their family too. Appreciate this informative article.

    • That is great- getting information for balanced eating is very useful and always welcome.

    • Very informative your post. I think our body needs the body nutrients but the problem is we just don’t know how to do it and sometimes we just ignored it. With this informative post, this really help to us.

    • Those are some good tips to follow. I always try to incoperate my daily good with a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins etc. I k is how healthy eating is good for your body, so I try to keep up with routine. Though sometimes it’s hard especially when you have people in the house who will want to eat something totally different from what you are used to it what you want to cook. Like there are people who will eat the same good every single day and when you try to change the diet that would lament and say that good will not satisfy them or they don’t like that type of food. How can you convince them that it is good for them. And these are the same kinds of people who don’t take juices or tea that has milk neither are they keen on taking water after meals. Honestly I don’t know how some people survive without taking water the whole day it buffles me.

    • Yes, vegetables are full of vitamins not minerals. Human body makes just scan vitamins when we take vegetables as vitamins A B C D E ….these vitamins are most important for human body if our body is lack of vitamins our great and small intestines will not work properly and we will have a lot of problem.

      The health benefits of vitamins include their ability to prevent and treat various diseases including heart problems, high cholesterol levels, eye disorders, and skin disorders. Most vitamins also facilitate many of the body’s mechanisms and perform functions which are not performed by any other nutrients.

      Vitamins can be consumed in a variety of ways.

Therefore, the nutrition industry has made supplements available that can boost the vitamin content in your body.

      A multivitamin is often considered one of the best options for improving the overall balance of your body, particularly if you have a job or a lifestyle that frequently causes you to miss meals, eat at strange times, or eat the same food very often.

I also keep some of your recipes for future cooking especially during summer when i am free, no work and only cooking will be what I will be very busy about he he he. I hope it won;t make me fat as i am maintaining my weight 55 kilos.I have to discipline my appetite or just do series of dancing to break the calories ,lol.Eating does a lot of fun and the body does not react and refuse hehehe.

    This is an easy entry meal!
    A perfect main course dish for my family, who loves tofu and minced meat very much .
    Yesterday, after I had browsed through the fridge for any left-overs ( my hubby always reminded me […]

    • I salute you peach you are a very hard working lady in terms of cooking.I hope your kids are not over weight hehehe kidding aside. I love tofu. I can cook this.I bought a recipe in the mall that contains only different recipes of tofu, so I learned to cook the recipe of my preference.I am so thankful that I have just dined or else I will be so hungry hehehehe.Good work @peach purple.You have many posts approved this time.

    • Your husband is correct, no waste on food. Even when I eat at restaurant, I’m always the last one to finish because I sometimes eat left overs in the bowl. Its been my habit because there are so many people not eating in a day and here we are just wasting these leftover food. I salute you for making some twists food in your fridge.

    • I think your recipe is a bit different for me because I am male and I tried to make the dish you mention in the article but could not make properly and got disappointment standing in the kitchen. Now I read in the nook and find this recipe that is very easy for all. as

      1: What you will need. Ingredients: You’ll need water, 3 cups of dry soy beans and 2 TBSP of Epsom Salt. …
      Step 2: Soak and Blend. …
      Step 3: Stir and Simmer. …
      Step 4: Strain Out Milk. …
      Step 5: Coagulate. …
      Step 6: Add to Mold. …
      Step 7: Finished.

      Tofu is great in so many recipes and easy to make. Along the way you will also make soy milk and have some okara left over. Okara is basically just bean pulp but it is great in breads, burgers, or cookies.

      Ingredients:
      You’ll need water, 3 cups of dry soy beans and 2 TBSP of Epsom Salt. As an alternative to the Epsom Salt, you may use 75ml of lemon juice. Most of the nicer grocery stores will have the soy beans and you can find Epsom Salt at the pharmacy.

      Equipment:
      Food processor or blender, 2 large pots, 1 colander, 1 strainer, and a mesh bag. Instead of the mesh bag you could also use a few layers of cheesecloth.

    • Egg tofu, as its name suggests, is made a type of savory tofu flavored with egg. It is usually (if not always) available in the tube form.

      As with all tofu, egg tofu is high in calcium, protein and iron, while being low in calories at the same. It helps guards against colon cancer and heart diseases. It is also known to promote energy production and aid in weight loss.

    Sometimes, when I am facing stressed out, I couldn’t make myself cheerful in-front o […]

    • Our child is the joy of our home but of course, sometimes, they cause stress because they might be annoying because they are just too repetitive and stubborn. Or maybe they break some porcelain or appliances in the house.

      Your tip to handle stress is so important to us, I think this really helps to us.

    • The main cause of stress is that when someone’s be uncertain about the problem he or she facing in such condition uncertainty terror spreads in human soul and we call in stress in modern language.

      When someone makes a corner in his or her mind the preaction result of any action causes stress in human soul. Actually it is created in human soul and its appearance becomes on human mind screen and its mirror becomes human face.

      If you have stress in such condition think what is your mistake in this matter that causes stress because there is no action that has its reaction. The same formula is applied in case of stress. You do something wrong in any shape and its reaction appears in semblance of stress prevailing on human face.

    • At present this is the best blog that I can relate to.

      I’m really short tempered and handling a naughty kid is no more than a big challenge for me. I usually cannot handle work pressure be it household or professional.

      The situation further worsens when you have a kid eating up your head the whole day long.

      But i shall follow your advice from now on and really hope the it will help me to make my life better.
