Happy or Unhappy?

How many of us are not contented, not satisfied, always frustrated and unhappy and not thankful of what we have and who we are? Do we constantly fret for what other people have…..their looks, their possessions, their achievements, their status, their families, their marriage, their children, their jobs, etc?

Progress Comes With Complications

As the world progresses , it also becomes more complicated and competitive in all ways. There’s constant complaining, constant comparing, constant accusing, unceasing dissatisfaction and discontentment, so much so many find themselves embroiled in the cauldron of self-deception. People have become increasingly dissatisfied even with themselves. They find it hard even to accept themselves and would go to great lengths to change their looks or generate money to keep up with their lavish lifestyle. Everyone wants to be a celebrity, to be rich and to be famous……FAST!

Fabulous Bananas With Strawberry Coulis

Just Fabulous - Bananas with Strawberry Coulis

Bananas with Strawberry Coulis….oh…it tastes so fabulous.

When my daughter brought back 4 packs of strawberries, I just thought, ‘Oh dear….what am I going to do with them?’ Honestly I don’t quite like strawberries because they are more often sour than sweet. In UK, strawberries are usually served with sweetened cream or ice-cream and shortbread which are a nice combination. But 4 packs are just too much.

From Monkey Or Not From Monkey? Evolution Or No Evolution?

From Monkey or Not From Monkey?
Evolution or No Evolution?

There are 2 unique shops in Aberdeen. One is called Noose and Monkey which is a pub and the other called The Monkey House which is another pub and eating place. Each time I pass by them, they remind me of the Evolution topic that we had to learn in school. I didn’t do the question on Evolution in the examination because I couldn’t tell myself that I came from a monkey. I also can’t go to my parents and tell them they came from monkeys.

Alternative Therapies and Cures

We all need to recognise that sickness has no respect of person. It doesn’t matter whether you are a king or a pauper, you are going to get sick if you abuse your body by not taking care of it. Alternative therapies and cures are gaining much popularity because drugs are generally not involved. I have seen amazing effective results from alternative therapies and cures.

We must acquire knowledge of our body and how to keep it healthy so that we don’t get sick. Don’t just leave it to the doctors. I have 7 very informative natural healing websites here that are my favourites. I am sure you will benefit from them too if you will take time and be open to read.

Simple, Easy Banana Spring Rolls For Desserts

It’s some simple, cooking time again. I have here a very simple, easy banana spring rolls recipe for desserts. As long as there are fruits, I can say it’s a healthier dessert.  All you need is:

spring roll wrappers
banana (peeled and sliced)
oil (olive oil or coconut oil)

Banana spring rolls ready to be fried

Put a few sliced bananas diagonally in the centre of the spring rolls wrappers and roll up. Use a little water to make the end stick together.

Deep frying the banana spring rolls

Deep fry them until golden brown on all sides. Remove, drain, cool them down a little before tucking into them. It’s very crunchy and yet bursting with the natural sweetness from the bananas.

Crunchy banana spring rolls served with ice-cream

If you have a very sweet tooth, you can sprinkle a little icing sugar on the banana spring rolls for a nice look. I did not do that because it’s already very sweet for me. I made a cup of hot tea to go with it. How interesting I thought….banana spring rolls with nice vanilla ice-cream and a hot cup of tea. I made my tea in a Snoopy cup which was given to me by a little friend because she knows I like Snoopy. How sweet of her! I enjoyed my wonderful tea-time while browsing through a recipe book.

wonderful tea time

I hope you will try this lovely dessert. It’s a very simple, cheap and easy dessert to make. Please let me know if you try it. Or if you have other banana recipes to share, I would be delighted. Do leave your comments in the comment box below. Keep learning, keep cooking, keep smiling.

6 Things You Must Do To Get Over A Bad Day

I’m sure every now and then you have a bad day. I definitely have. We always say we get out of the wrong side of the bed. A bad day is when you just feel depressed, angry, worried, frustrated, disappointed, discouraged, disillusioned, hurt, helpless, hopeless…….. We just look depressed, downcast, tired, gloomy, and uninterested. And words that come out from our mouths would be, ‘Who cares?’, ‘I don’t want to talk about it’, ‘Leave me alone’. Usually we really mean it and yet on the other hand we want to get over with it. But how? If you don’t know what a bad day means and what it’s like, watch this lovely video, one of my favourite, to understand it better. There’s something we can learn from it.
