    peachpurple wrote a new post, Oats and Nuts Teabread Recipe 7 years, 11 months ago

    This morning, I just found an old scrapbook recipe that I had cut and pasted recipes from newspapers and magazines.

     

    One of the bread recipe that I had always wanted to try out is Oats and Nuts […]

    • It is a good and delicious recipe for the readers but in different countries it is different. I like it most.Here’s an excellent method for making oatmeal overnight in the fridge. A lot of overnight oatmeal recipes have a raw oat flavor that I don’t care for, but these oats are made with a hot tea/milk mixture that eliminates that raw taste.

      I love the convenience of being able to serve freshly made oatmeal on a busy morning without having to stand at the stove, cooking and stirring. Simply pull these out of the fridge and eat them cold or, if you prefer, zap them in the microwave for a minute or so.

      cou1 c. plus 2 tbsp. flour
      3/4 c. sugar
      1 tsp. salt
      1 tsp. soda
      1 tsp. baking powder
      1 tsp. cinnamon
      1/2 tsp. nutmeg
      1 c. quick cooking oats
      2 eggs, beaten
      1 1/4 c. applesauce
      1/3 c. vegetable oil
      1/4 c. milk
      TOPPING:
      1/4 c. brown sugar
      1/4 c. chopped nuts
      1/4 tsp. cinnamon

      Sift dry ingredients together in large bowl. Stir in oats. In another bowl, mix eggs, oil, applesauce and milk. Stir this into dry ingredients and then pour into a greased and floured 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle top of loaf with brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes to 1 hour and 5 minutesntries its making method is different as in my country.

    Honestly, I have never tried Fish Head curry in my entire cooking experience.

    • I think it will be tasty sure because it looks nice on the plate. But my sister makes it so at home lat Friday she made it in the evening meal.
      Wash the fish head or fish steaks and pat dry. Keep aside.
      Heat oil in a wok or saucepan, add curry seeds mixture and ginger and stir fry over high heat for two to three minutes till the seeds pop.
      Cool slightly then pulse in a food processor to create the paste.
      In the same wok or sauce pan with the remaining oil, add garlic and stir fry till lightly browned.
      Add the curry paste and stir fry till fragrant and cooked.
      Add the onions and stir fry briefly for about one minute.
      Put in half of the coconut milk, bring to a boil, remember to keep stirring to avoid curdling.
      Add the fish, cook for 10 minutes before adding the remaining coconut milk and the tamarind juice.
      Add the tomatoes, red chilli, green chilli, curry leaves, salt and sugar.
      Simmer gently for about five to eight minutes or until the sauce is thickened to a desired consistency and the fish is cooked through.
      You may add more liquid if there is not enough gravy.
      Serve with steaming hot rice.

    I had started to write online since 2009.

    One of the oldest website I had published my recipe articles was Hubpages, which was my first attempt to write online and surprisingly, I had been earning money from […]

    • The 4th reason is that if you lose your content because the site disappears or your stuff vanishes from that site and you didn’t save a backup copy … maybe you can find it via the Wayback Machine. That’s a site that apparently saves old stuff! I found two of my Squidoo lenses there. I was so happy because those two articles were inspired by my daughters. I thought I had lost the content forever! I republished the material at my BlogJob blog. But you need to know the URL or even a portion of the URL to be able to find your stuff.

    • In past around 2011 there are many big pages but most of them use their pages just for fun but now in 2015 where Digital Marketing is the back bone of Online Selling and earning. Facebook Advertising is expensive for small business and website owners and there is no guarantee will you get profit or not for these advertisment that’s why Some People come with great mind and made some FACEBOOK ADVERTISING NETWORK. these networks are rising day by day because Present Facebook Advertising is much expensive

      Let’s explain you what is these networks and how its work.

      Suppose you have a big Fanpage with 1 Million likes then probably you want to earn some money [bcz everyone loves money :p]

      First you need to join these network after that Network provide you a tracking link+Tagline+Description to share on your page.

      Facebook will only generate you money when you have good number of followers. And also you have to be smart about what content you’re sharing and how many times you’re sharing. Because Facebook has strict policy for sharing of links and pages get unpublished because of that.

      Rizwan answer was apt that you can earn from some sites which pay for traffic, this amount increases to Rs 250-280 per 1000 clicks for US traffic.

      The good way though is develop your page first, make your page big, have a site or blog and use adsense to earn. It’s a long term thing and your pages will be safe and you will earn multiple times than before.

      On Whatsapp it’s mainly for app downloads or call this number if you want to help. Such type of messages are for either increasing database of get user to a mobile app. (Can’t say how much they get paid for this)

      You can also use Instagram to earn, it’s trending and it’s good money. Nowadays most of the girl are trying this.

    • i just commented in other post taht social media dont work really the way they suppose to, they are false to some limit, i got views almost as much as i dont post in social media, and that tells me no to waste my time on sharing while i cna writ emore post to get more views here and in other sites too, finding the keyword is the key to good posts, and also of course finding the perfect words. that would take most of you time and not time to really share in those false media links

      • It is true I tried many social media but the benefit from views are so low so, i prefer to write posts and hope teu find it online, as sure they will but may take longer, its not i dont want to share, but sharing takes long time and the money for it is so low, commenting and posting is better, that is why i like literacybase
        and thanks Mangoh for the posting reply, its true and that is what happened with blogs that did at the past, i spent long time to write and share and invite and sthis and taht using Facebook twitter

    Everyone wants a healthy heart.

     

    Nobody wants to have a problematic heart with heart diseases or cardiovascular disease that shorten a person’s life span.

     

    It is alike a ticking bomb that might exp […]

    • Keeping hearth healthy everyone wants but everyone does not know how to keep heart health 24 hours. s a young person, if you start doing small things every day that keep your body healthy, you have a better chance of living a longer, happier and healthier life.

      The things that you do to keep your heart healthy will also make you less likely to develop many other types of diseases, like type 2 diabetes and cancer.” These small steps are not expensive or difficult to take, and taking them can go a long way toward helping you feel your best.

      I say that to keep hearth healthy do these things:
      Avoid smoking and using tobacco products.
      Be physically active every day.
      Eat a heart-healthy diet.
      Keep a healthy weight.
      Keep your blood pressure healthy.
      Keep your total cholesterol healthy.
      Keep your blood sugar healthy.

      Heart disease is also known as cardiovascular disease or “CVD.” CVD is a very serious health condition that keeps the heart or blood vessels from working properly. When our heart and blood vessels are working at their best, blood flows easily and is circulated around the body freely.

      If there is a clog in our blood vessels or if our heart is not pumping blood properly, this prevents blood from being delivered to many important parts of our body. Not having blood constantly delivered to the many important parts of our body can cause serious illness or even death.

      Although some people are born with certain types of CVD, most people develop CVD as a result of poor lifestyle habits, such as eating unhealthy foods, not getting enough exercise or using tobacco.

    • It is indeed a nice and informative post. We should reduce the use of oil and ghee as it is co-related with heart issues. Eating high fat content and sparing no time for exercise or walk will make the things tougher for our heart.
      So, it is a better idea to stop consuming fats.

    • Since I reached 45 , I started getting healthy. I would always eat fruits and vegetables. I would exercise and would do household chores such as cleaning the bedroom, cooking and others just so my body can be activated.

      I also would start dieting whenever my tummy becomes protruding. I would eat just an apple just for dinner.

      Most of all, I learn to relax and avoid stress, because I know stress can make us sick .

      So far, I don’t have maintenance medicines. Though, sometime my cholesterol would shoot above the normal and I have to do medication for a month and two. After that, it would normalize, so I will try maintaining it. However, sometimes it would go up again, so since I don’t do my exercise on weekdays anymore because I am too tired already from work at night, I take medication for a month or two .

      Lately, I know I have been eating some fatty foods again. So, I eat more fruits to wash them and plan to exercise 30 minutes every night once I arrive from work.

      And you are right – commitment to exercise is a must. he he he

    • Will never forget the first time I tasted lychee. First of all, I was attracted to it because it’s my favorite color but when I taste it? I was very happy! 🙂

    • When I was growing up my favorite time of the day is when I got to get a yummy treat.

      Kids love when that get treats it excited them.especially if they get to help make them. And I’m sure you remember growing up it was so much fun to get to help make treats.

      I always enjoyed when I got to help make cakes and pies, best part was when I got to lick the bowl the mixture was made in.
      Ain’t nothing like spending time in the kitchen with the family getting all creative.
      My favorites were ice cream cakes(we did ours a lil different) and kool-aid pies.

      ANY FLAVOR KOOL-AID IS GREAT.

      This a great for spring and summer

    • Ancient Chinese legend has it that dedication to the health benefits of lychee prompted consumption of several hundred lychees per day. The results of this practice aren’t reported. But there is medical proof that lychees can relieve coughing, ease abdominal pain, and have a positive effect on tumors and swollen glands. The seeds are prescribed for testicular inflammation and neuralgia pain.

      Tea made from lychee peelings is said to cure smallpox and diarrhea. In India, the seeds are ground to make tea for stomach trouble. Parts of the bark, root, and lychee flowers are gargled for sore throat.

      Lychee is rich in dietary fiber to help maintain optimum regularity and a healthy weight. One of this fruit’s most plentiful and unique nutrients is oligonol, which contains a number of valuable antioxidants with the ability to fight flu viruses, improve blood flow, and protect the skin from UV rays.

      Lychee is loaded with vitamin C, providing 119% of the recommended daily value in one serving. This further protects against colds and other infections, helps the body develop resistance, and fights inflammation.

      Other nutritive ingredients in lychee include high levels of B vitamins, such as vitamin B6, as well as potassium (which helps help control heart rate and blood pressure and stave off strokes and heart disease), thiamin, niacin, folate, and copper (which produces red blood cells, maintains healthy bones, prevents thyroid problems, and anemia). All these are vital for maintaining carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolization.

      However, consume lychees in moderation because they contain fructose, which may be harmful to your health in excessive amounts.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Teenage Suicide Attempts- How Can Parents Help Them 7 years, 11 months ago

    When your child is growing from a school age kid to his teenage years, it is time to take extra attention and care for his behavior.

     

    Nowadays, teenage suicide is a common problem among teens compare to […]

    • peachpurple..very nice research.Parents play a pivotal role in the life of their child.There are many who are very rigid.They dont even like to talk to them or listen to what he or she wants to say.They scold them and sometimes punish them. When they come to know that their child has not completed his or her homework, they would say: you cant have your dinner.You go and finish your home work first. Parents should change their way of thinking. They should not insult their child.

    • Those statistics are very alarming. And it’s quite unfortunate that this really is happening in our society. And sometimes it’s very overwhelming to the parents sometimes. At that age th3 kids get really agitated with small things, they become unruly and talking to them can be a bit cumbersome, and very frustrating, but that should not make th3 parents get discouraged and turn away from their rebellious children. Most of the time suicidal thoughts come into being when the kids are not satisfied with their surroundings or they are not confident with themselves. So when parents notice these kids becoming miners and rebellious that’s the time they need to get close to them and talk. Not that it’s going to be an easy task but trying can make a difference in their lives. All they ar3 looking for us attention and when that attention is not found them they seem solace in the suicidal thoughts, oters become sick, others depression sets I and that’s when things get really bad. It’s always good to also once in a while check what your kids are watching and listening to, because that could also be a cause that may lead to the kind of thoughts that they may be having.

    • Teenage suicide is the major problem of modern age but I think it shows the darkest mood of the teens due to some severe disappointment> I explanis suicide in these words as Teen suicide is a growing health concern. It is the third-leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24, surpassed only by homicide and accidents, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention

      National suicide prevention efforts have focused on school education programs, crisis center hotlines, screening programs that seek to identify at-risk adolescents, media guidelines (suicide prevention strategies that involve educating media professionals about the prevalence of copy-cat suicides among adolescents, in an effort to minimize the impact of news stories reporting suicide) and efforts to limit firearm access.

      Screening programs have proven to be helpful because research has shown that suicidal people show signs of depression or emotional distress. Referrals can be made for treatment, and effective treatment can be employed when signs are observed in time. Intervention efforts for at-risk youth can put them in contact with mental health services that can save their lives.

      Suicide is a relatively rare event and it is difficult to accurately predict which persons with these risk factors will ultimately commit suicide. However, there are some possible warning signs such as:

      Talking About Dying — any mention of dying, disappearing, jumping, shooting oneself, or other types of self harm

      Recent Loss — through death, divorce, separation, broken relationship, self-confidence, self-esteem, loss of interest in friends, hobbies, activities previously enjoyed

      Change in Personality — sad, withdrawn, irritable, anxious, tired, indecisive, apathetic Change in Behavior — can’t concentrate on school, work, routine tasks

      Change in Sleep Patterns — insomnia, often with early waking or oversleeping, nightmares

      Change in Eating Habits — loss of appetite and weight, or overeating Fear of losing control – acting erratically, harming self or others

      Low self esteem — feeling worthless, shame, overwhelming guilt,
      self-hatred, “everyone would be better off without me”

      No hope for the future — believing things will never get better; that nothing will ever change

    • Nice research!!! great

    • yes you are right parent has to come forward and fill the gap between teenagers and themselves let them feel free to talk and things to do by them not by forcing them. If you want your child go ahead. so first know what your child need fulfill them child goes high and high in success path
