Cinnamon is wonderful. I especially love it in warm drinks. I’m glad it also has so many health benefits. That’s good on top of goodie!! 🙂

Yes, cinnamon is a pasty herb that is put into curry and it is most beneficial fro human health and sex but a few people know it on earth. Cinnamon is a warming, sweet and exotic spice that we perhaps associate with cold wintry nights made more pleasant sat by a warm fire and an aroma of cinnamon in the air.

Cinnamon is also one of the main ingredients of mulled wine, a hot, spicy and fruity red wine warmer, most typically served at Christmas time or Bonfire Night.

he spice is actually obtained from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree. The bark is stripped from the tree and allowed to dry in the sun. Whilst drying, it rolls up into a quill and this is what we know as a cinnamon stick. Some of the quills are then ground down into a power and this is what we know as ground cinnamon.

Cinnamon was one of the first spices to be traded between Asia and Europe and the fact that Venetian merchants controlled the entire cinnamon trade in Europe fuelled other European explorers to travel afar in search of other ways of obtaining the precious spice.

Wow that is a wonderful garden!

You are so lucky to have your own cinnamon tree. I haven’t seen one, until you posted it.We buy cinnamon powder from groceries. It is not grown here in our country.

When it comes to politics it is understandable but not when our close contacts do it. Just not acceptable.

Joint family system has a lot of issues associated with it.

Young people do not consider the thinking and ideas of old people. There may arise a lot of clashes among the two generations and these must be settled down by great care.

It is a beautiful piece. Sometimes the most talented ones are the ones less known.

We are infested with ants. Tried everything. Got this expensive spray. Trying so hard to get rid of them. Put down a plate and in a few minutes ants are crawling over it even though it is empty.

Only lived one place that I can recall where we had a real problem with ants. Can think of a lot of places where we had a roach problem. I was more than happy to get rid of them!

I heard that ants do not like the smell of cinnamon. I’m not sure how true that is. I believe that ants need to stay outside and away from my house but they do have a purpose in life. They do help break down things that are no longer living.

Ants are blessing and black insects are also blessing for home. Yes, if ants bring food in home to store means food will be in the house. If ants take food from the house to to another place means food will be less in the house the whole year> it all true check it practically.

Killing ants is sometimes a necessity when you have an infestation and there is no end in sight. It’s the least desirable option but it must be considered when you have them in the home constantly

try one of the following methods to deal with the ant trail:
Dip a sponge into soapy water. Simply wipe the sponge down the trail, collecting ants. Rinse them down the drain. Rinse and repeat as often as required until all ants in the trail have been removed.
Spray the trail with all-purpose cleaner or a bleach solution.

Wipe it up with a wet paper towel. Spraying the nest can be effective, but you really want to make sure you get them all, otherwise killing part of the colony can simply encourage certain species to establish new colonies, which is counter-productive to you.

Use 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of borax, 1 teaspoon of water. Mix well. Place a small amount on little pieces of cardboard where the ants are active. Watch them swarm it and carry back to nest.

If it kills them too quickly, try 1 1/2 teaspoons of borax. You want them to carry it back and kill the colony and the queen.

Adjustment is very critical in making healthy marriage relationship stable for a long time. Adjustment is acceptance and acceptance is commitment to be diligent in this peculiar relationship which is above every other relationship you had with any one else whiles you exist on this planet earth.

Stiller and Meara are the exception. I actually remember when I was growing up that celebrities were the only ones who got divorced. “Normal” or “ordinary” folks didn’t do that. They stayed together until one of them died! The vows taken were a sacred oath to love another for better or for worse, in sickness and in health … they were not casual empty vain words. The people uttering them before God meant what they said. But not any more!

There are more successful celebrity marriages which you will find in that link I have uploaded Broken marriages of ordinary people were never published in those days nor their successful marriages but today everything is exposed.

Saving some cash is a better idea and one must follow it to safeguard one’s future. We must save something from time to time. It does not mean that we should be frugal but trying to save whenever it is possible is a better idea in this regard.

nice post

Learning to handle your finances at an early age is always a good thing. I wish someone would have told me when I was young. Maybe I wouldn’t be so bad off now. Learning to budget is another good thing to learn. Learn to say no to things you really don’t need. Learning to say no to my kids is a hard thing for me.

Christmas is for sure a holiday with wonderful smells. 🙂

Eating a sandwich in the morning would be a better idea when it comes to improving one’s health. A boiled egg may do the same but I think a sandwich is a better option.

You shared a simple recipe and it will make the process very simple and easy.
