    The first time I had cooked Mackerel Fish Curry was a failure.
    Both my daughter and I were trying to balance the curry flavor which were 
    initially bland but spicy.
    We added sugar, tested it- not right
    We added […]

    • So, this is the easy way to cook curry vegetable. I mean are are plastic sachet curry mix and all you have to do is follow the instruction. I have been cooking curry but chicken, never tried fish, but I think this new idea give me push to cook some.

    • Mackerel is a good tasting fish. But I’ve never had it with curry. Just a squeeze of lime and some hot sauce. But my husband does enjoy curry very much and likes curry chicken or curry fish.

    • It looks tasty in eating I will try to make it at am home today sure. But I will make thus as I have in a boof of Sea Foods Cooking
      Ingredients
      4 Fillets Fresh Mackerel (400g)
      2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil (20g)
      1 Onion, Medium (150g)
      6 Garlic Cloves (18g)
      ½ Teaspoon Ground Ginger (2g)
      1 Teaspoon Cumin (3g)
      2 Teaspoons Ground Coriander (6g)
      1 Teaspoon Ground Turmeric (3g)
      1 Teaspoon Garam Masala (3g)
      ½ Tub Natural Yogurt, ½ Large Tub, Low Fat (250g)
      4 Green Chillies (20g)
      7 Tablespoons Brown Rice (285g)

      Method
      Peel and chop the onion and garlic.
      Wash the chillies and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and white bit surrounding them. Finely chop the chillies. Wash hands immediately after.
      Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan and cook the onion over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until softened and lightly brown.
      Add the garlic and spices to the pan and stir for 2 minutes.
      Add the yogurt and chillies to the pan. Cover with a lid and simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes.
      Add the mackerel fillets and continue to simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Try not to cook too long as the fish will produce a liquid and the sauce will spoil.
      Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet and serve with the fish curry.

    Do you know that nowadays, tuition centres 
    are mushrooming in the heart of the city and
     residential areas?

     
    These educational centres are earning huge
     profits with lots of gimmick to trick parents
     and  […]

    • You took the picture on your children ‘s exercise books? How old is he/she?

      My daughter is Standard One. I don’t send her to any tuition center as the homework already taken some many time from her leisure time after school.

      She did complain on not enough leisure time which she loves to read stories books.
      She did read the whole day before she entered the primary school when she was 5 or 6 years old.

      For your knowledge, she didn’t go to nursery or kinde, she stayed at home and read the stories books by her own and learnt from reading.

      Moreover, I prefer she allocates some time for cycling, playing games rather than sitting in the tuition center as she already sit for 5 hours continuously in the school.

      For alternative, we sent her to a small size primary school which only 10+ students in a class, I believe the teachers able to teach the student in the small size group.

      She did it! She managed to score the second position in the mid year examination earlier.

    • If it’s a cheat or a scam and it’s being allowed then shame on the scammers and cheaters, shame on the people “in charge” who are allowing it to happen. Any country that does not want to ensure that its citizens receive a proper education is just bringing down the whole country! The minds of the citizens of a country are the country’s best natural resource and best defense against aggressors and oppressors, i.e. countries coming in and taking over! I don’t know why every nation doesn’t get that!

    • I remember during my school days we had tuition that was being run by individuals in their homes, and that was very convenient for most kids who wanted more tutoring in certain subjects, probably those that they are weak at. I like the idea of tuition because it gets kids to be at a very good standing in class. I think it’s a good idea for tuition to be introduced in school

    • You mean tuition to tutor, this is what I understand from your post. If a parent can afford to have tutor for their child, I see nothing wrong with it for the the benefit of the child. But when a parent cannot afford the too high rates, a parent is always the best teacher for a child to learn. Hands on is really the best way to guide a child.

    • I think that guidance is must for green students but for all persons as old men of our societies provide us guidance in all walk of life I think it is just like tuition but free of cast. I think tuition means while reading or studying the books if the students fall prey to trouble the tutor will help the students at the spot.

      The other meaning of tuition is that some children are weak cannot understand at school properly to provide them guideline at home the teacher is hired is call tuition.

      tuition is an extra benefit for the students to clear the doubtful concepts about any subjects.

    Yesterday, my teenager had brought back a few
     home grown mangoes from her office, a colleague
     gave some to her.
     
    Out of 5 mangoes, 2 of them had ripen while the
     rest are still unripe.

    I wrapped those gr […]

    • Your trick is so awesome, my old people thought us to put the mangoes into the rick pile in order to get them ripe.This technique was work in the old time.

      It’s a good idea to fry rice with mango slides, it must be very delicious and again, make my mouth watering. I tried to fry rice with pineapple but never with mango. Maybe, should give a try if able to get some free mangoes, haha!

      This dish can be called :Tomyam fried rice, right? My kids still not get used to take chili, unfortunately. If not, Tomyam would be served very often in my kitchen as my spouse and me love Tomyam soup very much.

      I do buy a bottle ready made Tomyam paste with my in my kitchen, but yet fully utilized in my daily dishes yet.
      I hope it still yet reached it’s expiry date . I got to make few Tomyam dishes in order to finish it before the expiry date.

    • Whoa! Mango fried rice? Sounds wonderfully delicious!! 🙂

    • Wow! Sounds interesting! I never tried friend rice with mango. I usually make a friend rice mix with egg, hot dog, green peas with carrots and a lots of garlic. The traditional friend rice i also do for my breakfast.

    • I never knew mangoes have so many uses. I also like the idea of using lime leaves. I have a lime tree. I must use it for flavour as I am allergic to lime juice. Atleast this will give me the flavour. Lime flavour enhances the taste of any dish.

    • This recipe sounds really sweet but for me i might not like it that much. I love mangoes and I love rice but having the two mixed am trying to imagine what it would taste like. You say it can’t taste sour really? With themango there has to be some kind of sourtaste in it. And then I also don’t eat shrimps those are two ingredients that would not work for me. I like when am eating a meal for it to have a certain taste if it is salty so be it or ifits sweet then let it be so,but the sweet sour taste has never worked for me but thanks for sharing the recipe

    • Why have I not thought of this, a fried rice with the twist of ripe mango. I sometimes have fried rice at home but never tried putting some mangoes on it. Then again, if mango is a good ingredient, maybe a ripe red dragonfruit can also be a good twist to the fried rice.

    • Its ingredients are the best but I have not eaten more time but once at my friends’ home and his sister prepared it because she was doing cooking course in the university. Really very tasty in eating and looking.

      In this healthy fried rice recipe, bell peppers, mango and basil are tossed with savory fish sauce and fresh basil for a delicious one-bowl dinner. If you don’t have leftover cooked rice on hand, be sure to thoroughly cool your rice before adding it to the wok—

      if it’s too warm, it creates too much steam and sticks to the wok. To quickly cool warm rice, spread out on a large baking sheet and refrigerate while you prep the rest of your ingredients, about 15 minutes.

      Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large flat-bottomed carbon-steel wok or large, heavy skillet over high heat. Add eggs and cook, without stirring, until fully cooked on one side, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

      Add 1 tablespoon oil to the wok along with scallions, ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, until scallions have softened, about 30 seconds. Add steak and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add red and green bell peppers; cook, stirring, until just tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the contents of the wok to a large plate.

      Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok; add rice and stir until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. As you stir, pull the rice from the bottom to the top so it all gets coated with oil and evenly cooked. Return the steak, vegetables and eggs to the wok; add mango, lime juice, fish sauce and basil and stir until well combined.

      Give grains a cooldown: To cool grains down quickly, spread them out on a foil-lined baking sheet. The surface area helps speed cooling, while the foil prevents any residual flavors on the pan from seeping in.

    • We will do this kind of dish when there is extra of chicken meat left during an festive. We love to put some mushroom and black fungus as well. The back fungus is more low cost compared to mushroom nowadays.
      The black fungus and all the black things seem very good for health and rich of nutrient.

      It’s nice to hear that your mum love dancing. Do you like to dance as well?

    • The sparkling look of the chicken said it is really a good one to taste. I have never tried steamed chicken because this is not the normal way we cook chicken. We cook chicken like roasting and friend and the popular adobo or cook in soy and vinegar. Steamed chicken seem a good one to try.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Parenting Skills- Reasons for Language/Speech Delay Toddlers 8 years, 1 month ago

    Toddlers usually started to talk at age 1.5 or 2 and above.

    First words are important to eager waiting parents and grandparents but not all toddlers could talk early.

    Language delay often occurs in toddlers […]

    • I was among the kids that speak late. I developed the speaking capacity around the age of 2…much later than other kids

    • When one of my children was in elementary school, we all thought she had a speech impediment. When she grew up a doctor finally told her she had a problem with her hearing. Glad it all got straightened out eventually.

    • I have always believed that kids who are born into a family where people are constantly speaking to one another is most likey to speak earlier in life. The only thing I didn’t know is the fact that gender has a role to play in all this. I never knew that parents prefer speaking to their daughter’s more often than the boys. One thing I know is that boys are usually very stubborn and trying to teach them something really needs a lot of patience. Though I can recall when my nephew was born I think that boy was to rather to start talking he started a little earlier than some kids he was already uttering small small words like mama and dada meaning daddy at the young age of 1 year and in no time he was even able to ask for things especially when he is hungry he will Uttar a word like ik which meant milk of course with kids that will always leave out the main letter. But kids are awesome as much as they get on their parents nerves they are a precious lot.

    • Speaking is an art from the cradle to grave but everyone speak but a few talk sensible because speech is made on the basis of images and images are given by God on which the whole world foundation is built. Think God just say, let it be done it is done no speech, no use of words just a strong and might intention works.

      Learning doesn’t begin and end in the classroom. Once your child starts school, you might think teachers take charge, but your child is learning nearly every minute. And you have an important role to play in the process.

      Children and teenagers learn by observing, listening, exploring, experimenting and asking questions.

      Being interested, motivated and engaged in learning is important for children once they start school. It can also help if they understand why they’re learning something.

      And as your child gets older, he’ll enjoy taking more responsibility for his learning, and getting more involved in making decisions about learning and organising activities.

      Your role in your child’s learning
      Even if you think you don’t know much about learning and teaching, you’re your child’s first teacher. Your child will keep learning from you over the years.

      And even if you had a bad experience at school, it might help to remember that approaches to learning in schools have changed. Your child’s experience at school will be different from yours, so try to be positive. This will help your child feel positive about school too.
