No Baking Gadgets? Don’t Worry!

You don’t even need to go and buy a baking tin or a mixer. If you don’t have any baking gadgets, all you need is a medium sized cooking pot and an egg beater. If you don’t have a baking tin, just go and buy an aromatic duck which comes in a tin, bake it, enjoy a great meal and use the tin to bake your carrot cake! That’s what I do for this cake to show you so that you will have no more excuses of not making at least a healthy cake.

Women, Keep Gossiping! It’s The Secret To Longer Life!

Gossip Is Good For Your Health

It was reported in a New York study that gossip is good for your health. It states that gossiping may be just what the doctor ordered because it increases progesterone, a hormone that reduces anxiety and stress and makes women happier, according to an article in the London Daily Mail. It’s the secret of longer life!

Now I wonder what men are going to say. All their defence mechanisms on full alert? I can just see many men hitting hard at their foreheads. I’m very sure that’s the last thing that they want to know, just another reason for women to gossip.

11 Ways To Be Good To Yourself To Live Well

How to be good to yourself? I believe that to be good to yourself, you have to do things that add values to yourself. This in turn will prosper your life and make your life happy, meaningful and fulfilled. Too many people are just wandering aimlessly and wasting their precious time, just to regret later. Sadly, many don’t even regret. Instead they accuse and then excuse.

It’s high time that you be REALLY GOOD to yourself. Do something that has a lasting positive impact on your life. It’s nice to buy new cloting or go for a holiday to be good to yourself but then they don’t give you a lasting impact. You’ll soon be tired of the clothing and the holiday will soon be forgotten.

Cashew Nuts Chicken

A delicious dish of cashew nuts chicken

I love cooking with chicken because I love eating chicken. I only use chicken thighs for cooking because the meat is tender and juicy. Of course the only downside is to debone them. But then with some practice, it’s not that difficult. Do not throw away the bones. Use them to make a good chicken stock.

It was quite a relaxing day yesterday so I thought of cooking a chicken dish with cashew nuts, one of my favourite nuts. It is simple and easy to prepare. This is a very nice Chinese dish. Here’s the recipe with pictures:

The Beauty Of Colours

Ever imagine how life is like if everything around us is dull, grey or black in colour? I for one find Aberdeeen quite depressing during the cold winter months. Aberdeen is named a ‘granite city’ because most of the houses are built from granite. It looks dull, grey and gloomy in winter. On top of that, most people somehow love to wear dark or black winter coat. I think the cold also makes people smile less. So you can imagine the atmosphere and the life during such time.

Bright-coloured fruits

Why don’t people add colours to their fashion or their surroundings during the more gloomy days. You only get to see more colours during the summer months. I love colours. There’s much beauty in colours, especially colours from nature. Bright, cheerful colours excites and refreshes and makes you happy that you just want to smile. To me, bright, cheerful colours relax my mind and make my mind think better, more creative and more imaginative. They make me optimistic too.

Baked Poussin And Fried Noodles

I like fast cooking. Any meal in 30 minutes and under is a fast meal. Sometimes I wonder if I spend more time thinking than cooking. I always look for tweaks, cheats and short cuts in my cooking but still not losing the tastes or the authenticity of a dish. In fact I try to put all my fast cooking recipes on this blog so that even if you are busy you can still cook a nice meal or make a nice appetizer or dessert.

One of the fast and fantastic meals that I often cook is Baked Poussin (Spring Chicken) With Fried Noodles. It’s great with fried rice too.

Scotland Verses England - UK

Going to UK is an exciting experience. But staying in UK can be quite mind-boggling. I went to UK innocent and curious but along the way curiosity turned to confusion and frustrations at times.

UK is made up of Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. I landed in Aberdeen, Scotland, which I find breathlessly beautiful. I love all the beautiful castles, the serene country feel and the simple, slow life compared to the hectic life in many other cities.
